People often greet each other with “Hello” or “Hi”. Other forms of greeting are “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, or “Good evening” according to different times of the day.

I arrived in the United States on February 6, 2006, but I remember my first day here very clearly. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty.

I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make

some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people.

When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted. I decided right then that I had to learn to speak English. 11. On the way to his hotel, the writer _____. A. was silent all the time B. kept talking to the driver
