Its a question that often doesnt need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?”hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think youre Wrong.”But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “Im not sure.”Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “Ive to go now.”Often, the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse: “Someones at the door.”Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people dont say exactly that they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its part of the game of language.（1）“How are you?”is another way of sayingHello.orHi.（2）It is polite lo sayNo.I disagree I think you are wrong, if you dont agree with others.（3）When someone saysI have to go now On the phone.it means he wants to go on talking.（4）Someone is at the door.may be an excuse for finishing a plume can.（5）Sometimes people dont say exactly what they are thinking about just became they try to be nice to each other.5. （10分） Alex Rawlings, from Oxford University, Has been named the UKs most multilingual(说多种语言的)person.
