Usually conversations start from the greeting.
When we meet someone and start talking, we use greetings first. For example,
“Good morning, how are you?”
And it is also the beginning of our good relationship.
Let’s start from the greeting. To know more each other,
Let’s learn how to introduce ourselves.
