Every obstacle we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstances, and whilst the lazy complain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity, and willingness to get things done.

EP23. 從互聯網到外企，我行過嘅路

JAMES:  Good morning, Professor Austin, how are you doing?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Good morning, James. I am doing well. And you?
JAMES: I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She 
is thinking about applying to this college. She has a 
few questions. Would you mind telling us about the 
process, please?
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more 
than happy to speak with you. Please stop by my office 
next week.
EMMA: It’s a pleasure to meet you, professor. Thank you so 
much for helping us.
PROFESSOR AUSTIN: Don’t mention it. Hopefully, I will be able to answer 
your questions!

LANGUAGE NOTES
• The greetings good morning/good afternoon/good evening are used at different times 
of the day to greet people. “Good evening” is often used after 6 p.m. or generally when 
the sun has set.
• “Good night” is not a greeting: It is used when leaving a place or group of people. 
Thank you and good night!/Good night, and see you tomorrow.
• When people meet in the United States, it is customary for them to shake hands. A 
handshake should be firm and usually lasts for about two to three seconds — which 
allows enough time to say “Nice to meet you.”
• “Don’t mention it” is another way of saying “You’re welcome.” The phrase “You are 
welcome” is more formal. However, responses such as Don’t mention it./No problem./
Happy to help. are informal ways of responding to a thank you.
