Intonation Of GREETINGS

• If you don’t know a person very well, it is better to say Good morning, Good afternoon, or Good evening. In this case we use High Prehead +LWR. When you greet your close friend you may say: Cheerio, Jo. And in this case we use High Prehead+LWR, too. As you know, we can often say the same thing in two different ways. This thing sometimes happens with intonation. And with greetings we can use High Head+ High Fall. When you meet someone for the first time you say How d’you do. It’s not really a question, and it shouldn’t sound like a question. And in this case we use High Head+ High Fall. And for answer you should just reply exactly the same use in formal situation

Intonation of Farewells.

• +When you farewell your close friend you may say: Cheerio, Jo or Bye-Bye, Jo, with High Prehead+LWR. And for people you don’t know so well: Goodbye, with the same intonation. If it is bedtime, of course, you say: Goodnight. This is used for close friend and for people you don’t know so well. There are useful expressions as See you tomorrow, See you next week, See you after half-term, See you at Christmas, See you the year after next. And in these expressions we use High Head+High Fall.
