In social English, we all know that when we meet for the first time, we should say something like nice to meet you, and we already know the etiquette of introducing strangers to each other. This time, I will tell you some expressions that are not common but common among foreigners.

1. Give me a hug.

Give me a hug.

If two people know each other, there is no need to say so politely when they meet. Nice to meet you. Meeting at this time usually means greeting each other: how are you? Or what? Do it. But if friendship is good, America is used to hugging each other to express their friendship. Of course, you don't have to give me a hug first. You can usually see someone open their hands and hug them. You can also say give me a hug. Or give me a bear hug. Give me a big hug! )

2. How did you and John become friends?

How did you and John become friends?

How to open a topic when meeting a stranger is a difficult problem. How about starting with how you and xxx became friends? Xxx is to introduce the people you two know. This is a common dialogue formula in social situations.

In addition, ask the other person where are you from? It is also very common. If the other party is not a local (assuming that the local area is Beijing), may I further ask you if you are new to Beijing? Have you just arrived in Beijing? Do you want me to show you around? Do you want me to show you around? Step by step, you can achieve your ultimate goal.

I didn't recognize you!

I didn't recognize you!

If two people chat and suddenly find that the other person is their long-lost friend, you can be surprised to say: I didn't know it was you! I didn't know it was you! ) I didn't recognize you! I didn't recognize you! If you know someone, but he doesn't know you, you can say: Hey! Don't you recognize me? (hey! Don't you recognize me? )

This recognize here means "know", which is different from know. For example, if someone wears a lot of makeup and you can't recognize her, you can say: I don't know you! But you can't say I don't know you.
