CAPITALISATION

When spelling a word for someone it is sometimes

necessary to let the person know when letters need to

be written in CAPITALS and when they need to be

written small. There's a guide to capitalisation here.

"How do you

spell UNESCO

please?"

"CapitalU-N-E-S-C-O."

"How do you

spell T-Online

please?"

"Capital T dashcapital Osmalln-l-i-

n-e."

"How do you

spell 1&1 Profi

please?"

"The number one then an ampersand

another one, followed by capital P

small r-o-f-i."

Shaking Hands

When meeting someone formally

for the first time, we shake their

hand and say "How do you do?" or

"Pleased to meet you."

"How do you do?" isn't really aquestion; it just means "Hello".

When young people meet

informally they sometimes say

"Give me five!" and slap their

hands together (high five).

Generally we do not shake hands

with people we know well.

Naturally speaking

You say hello, and I say goodbye!

Follow the dialogue.

Mr. Bean meets Mrs. Breuer, one of his students,

and her husband in the street.

Mr. Bean: Good morning, Mrs. Breuer.

Mrs. Breuer: Good morning, Mr. Bean. How areyou?

Mr. Bean:I'm fine thanks, and you?

Mrs. Breuer:Not too bad. Mr. Bean, this is my

husband Michael, Michael this is Mr.

Bean my English teacher.

Mr. Breuer:Pleased to meet you.

Mr. Bean: Pleased to meet you too. Are you from

Germany, Mr. Breuer?

Mr. Breuer: Yes, East Germany, from Dresden. Andyou are you from London?

Mr. Bean: No, I'm from Derby, but I live in

London now.

Lucy:

Mmm, it's nice, but I think you

need a slightly bigger size. The top

is gaping.

Mrs Smith:

I think this is the only one. I'd better

ask an assistant.

Excuse me? Do you have this in a

size 14?

Shop assistant:I'm afraid everything in the sale is

out on display.

Mrs Smith: Oh dear, it's just a bit too tight.

Shop assistant: I think we have a size 14 in red.

Mrs Smith: Oh no. Red's just not my colour.

Shop assistant:

It's not bright red, it's a nice dark

red. Here it is. Why don't you try it

on? There's a changing room free

over there.

Later...

Mrs Smith:It fits like a glove. What do you

think Lucy?

you after all.
