    Teaching Procedures

第一讲

    Section I Talking Face to Face
    Lead-in（导入）: First, the students are asked to talk about how to greet and introduce people. Then their opinions are written down on the blackboard. Finally, the introductory remarks will be made by the teacher as follows:
    In social interactions, greeting and introducing people are very important. An appropriate introduction will help you leave a good first impression upon others, which means you may be likely to establish a close relationship with others, and vice versa. When you are introduced to foreign friends, you should greet them with “How do you do?" while shaking hands with them for a few seconds. The next thing is, perhaps, the presenting of a business card, which is also called a name card. You should accept the card with a smile and a quick browse, and at the same time, offer yours.
