刚刚看一个韩国人说英语闹的笑话, 这也是一般亚洲人的通病，也许是我们死板的填鸭式的英语教学而造成的.
The common answer for “How are you?”
We Koreans learn English starting from these sentences “How are you? I’m fine, thank you and you?” at school. I can tell that these sentences are so engraved as the typical English greeting in most Koreans’ mind that we can say “I’m fine, thank you, and you?” unconsciously if someone asks us “How are you?” It is just like a Pavlov response for us.
However, I’ve seldom seen this greeting used in real life.
What is the common answer for “How are you?” What is your common answer to that?
BTW, here is a funny story about the “I’m fine thank you and you” sentence.
One day, A Korean man happened to have a car accident and got rather deep wounds. Someone found him bleeding and asked,
“How are you? Are you OK?”
He managed to answer while losing consciousness,
“I’m fine, thank you and you?”
Ah….what a courteous man he is! KKK…
And what a funny and sad story this is! We call this one of the harmful consequences of cramming education. lol.
