Pub-talk, the most popular activity in all pubs, is a native dialect with its own distinctive grammar. There are very fewrestriction on what you can talk about in pubs: pub etiquette is【M1】______concerned mainly about the form of your conversation, not the【M2】______content. When a regular enters into the pub, you will often hear a【M3】______chorus of friendly greetings from the other regulars, the publican【M4】______and bar staff. The regular responds to each greeting, usuallyaddressed the greeter by name or nickname. No one is conscious【M5】______of obeying a rule or following a formula, yet you will hear the same greeting ritual in every pub in the country. The words may not even be particular polite: a regular may be【M6】______greeted with " Back again, Joe—haven’t you got a home to go to" or "Ah, just in time to buy your round, Joe! ". When you firstenter a pub, don’t just drink—start by saying "Good evening" and【M7】______"Good morning", with a friendly nod and a smile, to the bar staff and the regulars at the bar counter. For most natives, this willtrigger an automatic, reflex greeting-response, if it is only a nod.【M8】______Don’t worry if the initial respond is somewhat reserved. By【M9】______greeting before ordering, you have communicated friendly intentions. Although this does not make you an ’instant regular’, itwill be noticed, your subsequent attempts to initiate contact will be【M10】______received more favorably. 【M1】
