Its a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. _Its a question that often doesnt need an answer. The person who asks, How are you? expects to hear the answer Fine, even if the person isnt fine. The reason is that How are you? isnt really a question and Fine isnt really an answer. They are common ways of saying hello or hi._For example, when someone asks Do you agree?, the other person may be thinking, No, I dont. I think youre wrong. It isnt polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, I am not so sure. _People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, Ive got to go now, or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as Someone is at the door, or, Something is burning on the stove. _The person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesnt hurt the other persons feelings.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often dont say exactly what they are thinking. _A. This is a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.B. Youd better not to tell the truth to your family.C. However, How are you? is also an unusual question.D. The excuse may be real, or not.E. Sometimes, people dont say exactly what they mean.F. If you disagree with others, they will hate you.G.

Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way.
