           *I ate lots of delicious food and talked a lot.  Thanks guys!

Ayako sensei and I went to Chio's house.
            *She cooked us a delicious dinner and we talked until early in the morning.  It was a lot of fun!
While we talked, William made a Lego house.  He had a lot of fun by himself...Go William!

Fawlty Towers Week 4 ~ July 26 ~ Aug 1 /2011

This week we will continue the story and we will talk about "分子古文"again, greeting customers at a hotel, introductions, dating, and what some people do when they are nervous:

Introductions

These types of introductions involve three people:

A: The introducer  (who knows both B and C)

B: Person 1 (knows A but not C)

C: Person 2 (knows A but not B)

Example,

A: Have you two met each other?

B: No, we haven't.

A: Ayako, this is William. William this is Ayako.

(B and C smile and shake hands.)

B: Nice to meet you Ayako.

C: Nice to meet you too, William.

Follow-up:

After you have been introduced to someone,

It is polite to ask a few general questions to get acquainted.

For example:

B: Where are you from, William?

C: I'm from Washington.

B: Washington?  Which part?
