Read the following text carefully and try to understand the situation
It’s the teachers’ common room at the Modern Language Institute of Dhaka University. Mr. Selim Ahmed, the French teacher, is reading a newspaper. Mr. Anisul Haq, the English teacher, enters with a guest, Mr. Young.
1.1. Answer Orally
i) Where does Mr. Ahmed meet Mr young?
ii) What does Mr. Selim Ahmed teach?
iii) Who is Mr. Young?

Dialogue: Practice the following among yourselves
A. Haq : Good Morning, Mr. Ahmed. How are you?
S. Ahmed : I’m fine thank you. How are you?
A. Haq : Fine, thanks. Mr. Ahmed, I’d like you to meet Mr. Young.
S. Ahmed : How do you do, Mr. Young?
Young : How do you do?
A. Haq : Mr. Young is an English language teacher at the Language Center in Bangkok.
S. Ahmed : Oh! I’ve been to your centre. I went there at the beginning of the year to attend a seminar.
Young : Oh did you? Do you teach English too?
S. Ahmed : No, I teach French.
A. Haq : Well, shall we sit down and have some coffee?
S. Ahmed : Oh, yes. That will be lovely.
Read and Note
Read the following
The rising intonation in the sentence-
Mr. Ahmed, I’d like you to meet Mr. Young.
d in I’d ( I would). sound d clearly. New line I’d ( I would) like-polite form of “I want.”
‘How do you do’ pronounced softly. It’s not a question. It’s a polite expression used in formal introductions, never again used with the same person.
The reply is also; ‘How do you do’?
In next meetings we say:
Hello, Good morning, Good afternoon,
How are you? etc.
Shall we sit down and have some coffee?
Is not a question here, it’s a suggestion.
