Eliz: Welcome once again to “Culture Tips” with Gary Engleton.
Today’s e-mail question is, “What’s a good way to end a conversation in English?”
Gary: Well, in English, there are a number of expressions you can use to bring a conversation to a close.
These expressions will tell the other person that the conversation will end soon.
Eliz: Can you give an example?
Gary: Certainly. You could say, “Oh, it’s getting late. I’d better get going.”
Eliz: I see.
Gary: Another closing expression is “Well, it’s been nice talking to you.”
Then, you could say, “Say hello to your family.”
Eliz: Or, “Good luck with your new job.”
Gary: Yes. We also sometimes say, “Have a nice day!” or “Have a good trip,” at the end of a conversation.
These expressions are a friendly way to prepare for the end of a conversation, before you say Good-bye.
Eliz: Thanks, Gary! I’m sure that will help our listeners.
