"How are you?"
Ведь так учили в школе на уроках английского. Эта фраза нам кажется такой естественной, что мы, не задумываясь, всегда ее используем.
Но носители так не говорят! Они отвечают иначе.
Итак на вопрос:
"How are you?" ( Как дела? или Как ты?) можно ответить несколькими способами и так отвечают носители английского языка:
Happy Answer
"I'm doing great (thanks). How about you?"
или
"I'm doing great (thanks). I heard that you got a new job. How's that going?"
Normal Answer
"I'm pretty good ( thanks). What's new with you?"
или
"I'm pretty good (thanks). I saw your Facebook post about your business. What's the update?"
Busy Answer
"I've been a bit busy, but okay. How have things been with you?"
или
"I've been a bit busy, but okay. I remember that you said you were also working on some things. Any update?"
Stressed Answer
"Things have been a bit rough lately, but they're getting better. How have you been?"
или
"Things have been a bit rough lately, but they're getting better. (Now) I know your mom had some good news recently. How is she?"
Satisfied Answer
"Never been better. What about you?"
или
"Never been better. You are looking quite happy. Any special reason."
