The world is so big that there are many countries around the world, and each country has a different civilization. As we all know, China has a civilization of 5,000 years, and many tourist attractions have been produced for this. However, it is precisely through the development of tourism that our country has gained certain benefits.
Nowadays, people's income is also increasing. For this reason, more and more people like to travel, and traveling abroad has become a habit in recent years. People hope to increase their knowledge and different cultural customs by going abroad.
We all know that Chinese tourists like to travel to other countries, especially some surrounding countries. They are not only close to each other, but also have low prices. For this reason, this has also become the first choice for Chinese tourists, including Pakistan.
Pakistan is our iron brother, and Pakistan is also a major tourist country with rich tourism resources. It has attracted many Chinese tourists for this reason. Chinese tourists who have been to Pakistan have discovered such a phenomenon. Why do Pakistani people always "shake their heads" when they mention China? Netizen: It’s definitely not that I don’t like it!
What is going on? Many people expressed their discomfort, but netizens said bluntly that it was not because they didn’t like Chinese people. Later, after the tour guide’s introduction, I finally understood that the way Pakistani greeted was different. They liked to shake their heads to express their welcome. In the face of the increasing number of Chinese tourists, Pakistani welcomed them very much.
There are many shops in the local area. In order to facilitate Chinese tourists to purchase, the prices are marked in Chinese on the shelves. It has to be said that this also shows the attention of Pakistani people to China. The friendship between China and Pakistan is obvious to all. Pakistani people shook their heads when they saw Chinese tourists, which shows that they welcomed Chinese tourists very much, but nodded in my country to express affirmation, while shaking their heads to express rejection.
I have to say that if we use Chinese habits and opinions to look at the behavior of Pakistani people, it may cause certain misunderstandings and troubles. Therefore, we still need local cultural customs before traveling to avoid embarrassing phenomena.
So, besides using HI, what are the commonly used spoken English languages?
1, How do you do? (How are you doing recently?) Are you very familiar with the sentence ? This sentence has been said in many textbooks. But in daily life, this sentence is the least used.
First of all, this sentence is extremely formal , and secondly, it is already a bit old-fashioned. So you may hear many foreign old men using this sentence to say hello.
If someone greets you like this, how do you answer? I believe many teachers have said: How do you do? Do you also need to use How do you do? Let's answer. But in fact, it would be better to answer using I'm doing well. (I'm very good).
2, How are you? (How are you?)
As one of the most commonly used greetings, it is also widely used by our Chinese textbook celebrities "Li Lei" and "Han Meimei", haha.
Strictly speaking, this sentence is not very formal, but it can be used in formal occasions or in .
Then everyone must have heard the answer to it: I'm fine/good, thank you. (I'm fine, thank you.)
Of course, out of politeness, you can also add a sentence "And you?" (What about you?) to ask the other party how he has been recently.
3. How is your day? (How are you doing recently?)
This sentence should be less exposed to in everyone's life, but if you are a fan of American TV series, you can hear it often.
Generally, those who are close to and who can meet you almost every day will use this sentence to say hello to you.
At this time you can use It's good. (I'm fine) or It's not bad. (not too bad) and so on to answer.

Will the English teacher say good morning/afternoon/evening before class? Every English teacher I meet will say this before every class. The usage of
is for more formal . Acquaintances rarely say hello like this. They usually save the previous "Good".
So how do you answer? In fact, you can just reply to the same as .
5, How's it going? /How you doing? (How are you doing recently?)

6. How have you been?/ How's life? (How are you doing well?)
The editor also is rare in , and it is rarely used in foreigners' daily lives.
But if you have a friend who has had a good time and haven't seen each other for a long time, you can use this sentence next time you meet.
Not much. (nothing changes) can be used as its answer.
7, Long time no see. (Long time no see)
According to its literal translation, many friends will definitely think that this sentence is in Chinese English, but in fact, this statement was first included in the book "Thirty Years on the Plains" written by US Army Captain Zhuoln. Its usage of is arbitrarily .
I believe everyone is very familiar with how to answer this sentence. Just answer the same directly
8, Hi/Hello/Hi there. (Hello/hello/here)

means the same as How's it going? when hello, so the answer is the same as It's good. or It's not bad..
10, Hey/Howdy/Hey man. (Hey/Hello/Hey man)
In fact, when you read the sentence "" and "it's very irregular" . It is more casual than Hi. Secondly, Howdy is a greeting method that cowboys in the western United States often use.
