How to greet a person you have not met before

You say, "Hi, my name is Mark, it's nice to meet you."

You reply, "Hi Mark, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Pete."

We also greet by ask people how they are.

We reply, "I'm fine, thank you, how are you?"

We often ask, "What do you do for a living?"

We reply, "I'm a teacher," or "I work in a computer store," for example.

When people speak quickly, ask them to repeat what they say.

Say, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear that, would you say it again?"

Or, "Would you mind saying that again? I didn't hear what you said."
