Hi, I'm Olivier.
2
Welcome to Oxford Online English.
3
When you started learning English, I'm fine is probably one of the first things you learned.
4
It's a simple way of answering the question, how are you?
5
Fine is, well, fine.
6
But if you use it all the time, it can get very repetitive and a little boring.
7
Does this look familiar to anyone?
8
Hi.
9
How are you?
10
I'm fine.
11
Thank you. And you?
12
Hi.
13
How are you?
14
I'm fine.
15
Thank you. And you?
16
Hi.
17
How are you?
18
I'm fine.
19
Thank you. And you?
20
Hi.
21
How are you?
22
I'm fine.
23
Thank you. And you?
24
Hi.
25
How are you?
26
I'm fine.
27
Thank you.
28
Bye. And you?
29
I think you get the idea.
30
Even with very simple language, it's better if your language is varied.
31
So how can you make this more interesting?
32
Here are a few ideas.
33
Hi, how are you?
34
I'm good, thanks.
35
You?
36
Hi, how are you?
37
I'm pretty good.
38
Hi, how are you?
39
I'm OK.
40
Hi, how are you?
41
Not bad, thanks.
42
Hi, how are you?
43
I'm very well.
44
Hi, how are you?
45
I'm great.
46
Remember that it's also polite to ask the other person how they are, too.
47
You can do this by simply adding you, or and you.
48
For example, I'm very well, and you?
49
I'm great, you?
50
Notice that the intonation rises at the end to show that you are asking a question.
51
Now, you've learned some ways to answer the question, how are you?
52
But what about the question itself?
53
Like, I'm fine, there are many ways to ask how are you, and you should try to add variety to your English when you speak.
54
By the way, you probably wouldn't ask a person you see regularly how are you.
55
If you see them often, it might sound strange, because nothing has changed since the last time you saw them.
56
Here are a few alternatives you can use.
57
These are more informal, but they're very common in everyday situations.
58
How's it going?
59
How are things?
60
How are you doing?
61
How's life?
62
In informal spoken English, you should use contractions and link words to sound natural.
63
So make sure you say, how's it going? with a contraction of is.
64
You can't use the form, how is it going? unless you want to sound like a robot.
65
Similarly, how are you doing need to pronounce with the contraction of are.
66
How are you doing?
67
You can even leave out the word are and just say, how are you doing?
68
Next, let's see how you can put these greetings together in a real situation.
69
Hey, how's it going?
70
Pretty good, thanks.
71
You?
72
Yeah, not bad.
73
Hi Olivier, how are things?
74
Good thanks. And you?
75
I'm good!
76
Next, let's look at some even more informal ways of asking or answering the question, How are you?
77
Here are three very informal questions you can use to ask how are you.
78
How's Trix?
79
What's up?
80
What's new?
81
Alright?
82
Remember that these are very informal.
83
That doesn't mean they're rude, or that you shouldn't use them, but you can't use them in more formal situations.
84
And yes, house tricks is grammatically incorrect, but that's the phrase which people use.
85
These are common between friends, and people who know each other well.
86
Remember, what you learned about linking words earlier, it's also important here.
87
You don't say, what is up?
88
You say, what's up?
89
And you don't say, what is new?
90
You say, what's new?
91
These different questions can also have different responses.
92
Let's look.
93
Alright?
94
Yeah.
95
You?
96
Yeah, not bad.
97
What's new?
98
Not a lot.
99
You?
100
Nothing much.
101
It might sound negative to you to just say nothing, but it's a very common expression to say that you're well.
102
Because these are very informal ways to ask how are you, sometimes they're used as greetings.
103
This means that sometimes these questions don't need an answer.
104
When using these phrases, you can simply answer with an informal greeting, like this.
105
What's up?
106
Hey, what's up?
107
Alright?
108
Hey.
109
What else do you need to think about in these situations?
110
It's important that you continue the conversation after you answer the how are you question.
111
How can you do that?
112
Even if you're a master of greeting phrases in English, that won't help you if this happens.
113
Hi, how are you?
114
I'm fine, thank you. And you?
115
Fine, thanks.
116
So, what can you say after the initial greeting?
117
You have so many choices.
118
Basically, you can make a statement or ask a question.
119
For example, you could tell the other person something about yourself and your life, like this.
120
Actually, work was pretty stressful, but now I'm looking forward to...
121
I had a really good day today because...
122
I've just been to… Or, there's always the weather.
123
It's really hot today, isn't it?
124
It's been so wet the last few days.
125
Hopefully it'll be brighter this weekend.
126
British people love to talk about the weather, if you hadn't realised yet.
127
You can also ask another question, such as… How was your day?
128
How's your day going?
129
How was your weekend?
130
If you're even more confident, or you know more about the person you're talking to, you can go into more detail and ask them more specific questions.
131
For example, how was your trip to Madrid last weekend?
132
Did you watch the football last night?
133
Is your brother visiting you next week, or is it the week after?
134
Now you should know how to greet people, how to ask and answer how you are in different ways, and how to continue the conversation.
135
Let's see how you can put everything together.
136
Hey, how are things?
137
I'm good, thanks.
138
But a little tired today.
139
Busy at work.
140
How about you?
141
I'm well, but I've got a lot at work, too.
142
How was your trip to Madrid last weekend?
143
Fantastic!
144
It's a really great city.
145
What did you do last weekend?
146
Nothing much.
147
Just relaxed on the beach.
148
Very nice.
149
Hi, what's new?
150
Not much.
151
You?
152
Yeah, alright.
153
You look a bit tired.
154
Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night.
155
Oh no, why not?
156
My neighbours had a big party, and it was really loud.
157
I hate it when people do that.
158
Yep, me too.
159
Anyway, how's your day going?
160
Now it's your turn to practice.
161
Imagine somebody asks, how are you?
162
Can you write down five possible things you could say?
163
Pause the video, and write down your answers now.
164
Ready?
165
Let's look.
166
Of course, there are more than five possible answers.
167
These are just suggestions.
168
I'm good.
169
I'm pretty good.
170
Not bad.
171
A little bit tired.
172
Great, thanks!
173
And what about different ways to ask how are you?
174
What can you say?
175
Pause the video and write down five different ways to ask this question.
176
OK.
177
Again, these are just suggestions.
178
There are many possibilities.
179
How's it going?
180
How are you doing?
181
What's up?
182
How's life?
183
How are things?
184
And what do you do next?
185
Do you stop talking?
186
No!
187
Keep going!
188
Ask a question or make a statement to continue the conversation.

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "5 Tips for English Greetings and Responses - How to Ask and Answer "How are you?"" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
