Language Advice 

Besides grammar and sentene structure, every language has a unique culture behind it. Cultures are often different in how long their responses are and what details they include. What is a common way English speakers build their responses? 

#1 Native speakers give the main point of their response. 
#2 They give additional details related to the main point stated first. 

Native speakers often give additional details and information that were never asked for. Culturally, this is acceptable and common. 

Part 5: Expand your responses.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good. Thanks for asking. I had a great day at work. We finished a big project. How are you?

I feel pretty good today. 

That's great! I'm happy that you're not sick anymore. Some people at my office are sick. I try to stay healthy.
