My name is Lilia. This is my new blog. I am from Russia. I want to improve my English, because I want to feel beauties of English as I can feel them in Russian. I want to express my thoughts so exactly as I can do in Russian.

Do you like the “International English” Greeting? Why or why not?
I knew “International English” greetings and I used to use these words every day. I didn’t think about “liking them”, I use them as all people around me.
For the following 3 people, please say which greeting is appropriate: “International English” or “Friendly American English.”
- Your Math teacher
- Your boss at work
- Your American college roommate
Of course, I’ll say “Hello” or “How are you?” to teachers or bosses. These greetings are more appropriate for them.
But if I meet my friend I can say “What’s up?” But I did not use “Yo”, may be because in my country (I’m from Russia) we didn’t know about this greeting. But I said “Yo” to my granddaughter and she liked it!

In the comments below write 2 to 4 sentences explaining the differences and similarities between your original answers and those in the linked full text. What were the differences? Or, were they the same?
My answers are the same:
- a letter is a sign of sound;
- a word is a sign of something and a word in my head is a mental idea.

I know this story, and I know the end of this story. I liked this story many years ago when I read it in Russian. It’s very important to be able to give the most valuable thing to person who is near you. This ability is the gift of God.
