：No Time for Formality
No Time for Formality
American people are always in a hurry. It seems they don't have time for formality. SoAmerican informality is well known. But you may still feel somewhat surprised at this "lack ofrespect." This is especially true in the business world. Most Americans have little concern for"rank" or "title". They often use first names upon meeting people for the first time. They mayintroduce their friend to you in this way: "Li Hong, this is Mary Smith." In this situation, you arefree to call the lady "Mary" or "Miss Smith". American people do not always shake hands uponmeeting strangers. They often just smile and say "Hi" or "Hello". To American people, such aninformal greeting really means the same thing as a formal handshaking. Similarly, Americanpeople do not have a formal "farewell". They will just wave "good-bye" to the whole group. Orperhaps, they will simply say "Bye" or "So long" and then leave. There are no handshakes inmost cases. To Americans, a friendly, informal relationship is the most important thing.
