UNIT 05 Keeping well TOPIC 01 Talking about how you feel

	LANGUAGE FOCUS 17 How are you?
	Roberta greets her neighbour Jill in the street.

Listen to Roberta and Jill.

Read their words.

Roberta and Jill say:
Roberta:	Hello, Jill. How are you ?
Jill:	Fine thanks . And you?
Roberta:	I'm well …

Roberta and Jill say " Fine thanks " and " I'm well " but they don't say how they really feel.

Sometimes when people ask " How are you ?" they are not asking about health. It is only a way of saying "Hello".

We don't tell them about our health. We just answer:

Fine thanks.

I'm good.

Well, thanks.

OK.

Not too bad.
