2. Well, we know that there are many ways to introduce yourself and people. Choose which one is the best to introduce yourself:
Hello, Thisis Carla. She's pleased to meet you.
None of the answers above.
Hi, I'm Carla. Nice to meet you.
Hi, how do youdo. Please, let me introduce her to you.
Hi, this is Carla. Carla is me. I am a really nice person.
3. There are many rules regarding greeting. Which one DOES NOT correspond to the right one?	
The British do shake hands, i.e. when first introduced to new people, but we rarely shake hands when parting.
In an informal situation you may see social kissing (often just a peck on the cheek), this is acceptable.
In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in an organization. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well to the one you know best.
When you arrive in the evening you say ¿Good night¿.
There might be occasions where you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am .....". If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.
