1. How do you greet members of your family?
- I don't do special greetings to my family members, because we see each others everyday. But when I came back from studying abroad, I hugged with my family. With my grandparents, because we don't live together, I hug them everytime we met.
2. How do you greet people that are important in society?
- Just bow, sometimes shake hands, and say something honorable.
3. Do you greet people from the opposite sex in a different way?
- If he/she is my close friend, I often make a light touch with girls, but don't with boys. If he/she is just a person who I know, it doesn't matter, because I just bow lightly or greet in words.
4. Do you hug anyone? If yes, who and when. If no, why not?
- I hug my boyfriend, always. (sorry) I sometimes hug my family/friend, when I separate with them, when I meet them after a long separation, and sometimes when I feel so happy/thankful because of them.

Homework for Class #4
How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? How so and why?
--- Yes, it is all different for different people. Because they are all in different terms with me.
--- If it is my family or close friends, I just smile, and say nothing special as greeting, and also they do. Because we need no explain to each other. If it is a special situation (ex. I go back to Seoul after a long absence, and meet family and friends-, we hug each other.
--- If it is older person, or somebody I met with (kind of) official things, I bow to them.
--- If it is a new persn who is around same age as me, I wave my hands lightly, or just smile and say something for greeting.
--- In future, if I met people as business things, I will shake my hands.
--- The most impotant thing : Always SMILE!
Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
--- If it is my family or close people, I make a light touches while talking. Because it is nothing wierd, and we even do not recognize it - it is just natural acts in close terms.
--- In other conversations, I really mind and pay careful attention with my behavior, so I never do that, and cannot do that.
