It’s such a pleasure to meet you, Susan
Представление матери своей знакомой
«Показывая своим поведением, что все ваше внимание целиком и полностью сосредоточено на человеке, которого с вами знакомят, смотрите ему или ей прямо в глаза и сердечно его или ее приветствуйте. Повторите произнесенное имя: „Здравствуйте, доктор Вассерман, очень рад встрече с вами“. Это поможет вам, во-первых, запомнить имя человека, с которым вас знакомят, а во-вторых, подчеркнет, что ваше знакомство не пустая формальность».
