respond to greetingis回复问候
after the initial "hey"o r "he¨o", there are two basic greeting styles in english; ones that start with "how" and others that begin with "what." common examples are "how are you?", "how's it going?", "how've you been?" as weh as “what's up?". "what's going on?" and "what've you been up to?"
除了最初的" hey"或是”hello”，还有两种基本的英语问候方式：一种是以4how”开始，而另一种是以”what”开始，常见的例子有：”how are you?”、 ”how's it going?"、 "how've you been?"以
及”what's up?"、 "what's going on?"和”what've you been up to?".
for the "how" greetings, you'h want to respond with an adjective, such as "good", "great" or even "exhaustedl" on the other hand, for greetings starting with "what",a fitting response is "nothing"or "klot much."
对于”how”开头的问候，你可以用形容词开首的回答，例如：”good”、 ”great”甚至是”exhaust-ed!”。另一方面，对于”what"开头的问候，合适的回答有" klothing”或者“not much"。
then keep going...然后继续…

然而一个单词的回答，可以会影响你的对话，并导致尴尬的洽场。因此在你4g reat"或"not much”的回答后，你需要继续下去告诉别人别人更多有关你生活的信息。可以是有关你现在正在做的事：”not much. i'm just out shopping for my sister's birthday gift.".
or it could be about a recent event in your life; "great"ve just started a new job, and l love itl" providing more information can give the person you're talking with something to respond f0,and this is true at any point in theconversation
