1. Hello is an expression of informal greeting. It is also spelt 'hullo' in British English.

2. An English name generally has two parts — the first name and the last name. The first name is also called the Christian name or given name; the last name is the surname or family name. For example, Amy Brown is a woman's name, of which Amy is the first name and Brown the last name. Many English names also contain a third part. There is a middle name between the first name and the last name, as another given

name. For instance, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is often written as John F. Kennedy.

3. May I...? is a polite way of asking for permission to do something. The answers to it might be 'Certainly', 'Sure', 'Yes, please', or 'Oh, please don't', etc., as the situation may demand. III. Exercises with Key

II. Language and Culture Notes

Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms Mr is the title placed before a man's last name, e.g. Mr Smith. Mrs and Miss are also titles. Mrs is placed before a married woman's last name and Miss before the last name of an unmarried woman or a girl. Nowadays, the title Ms /miz/ is also used to address both married women and single women. Notice these titles are used only before last names.
