III. Conclusion
Greetings in almost every language generally help to establish
and maintain a relationship and it is also one of the factors to
facilitate the conversation. Therefore, it is essential to take
great interest in what and how we should greet,
unfortunately, greeting is piece of language which is not
separable from culture of that language. The interrelationship
between language and culture does it part in communication
as it influences the language people use to communication.
Although greetings in English are generally formulaic, the
routine greetings might vary from one to another by the
Vietnamese, who learn and speak English as their foreign
language and the British, the native speaker of this language.
