Hello & Goodbye
ការចាប់ផ្តើម និងបញ្ចប់ការសន្ទនា
🎯 Objective / គោលបំណង:
Don't just say "Bye". Use the "Closing Sandwich" (Signal + Reason + Goodbye) to be polite.
💬 Scenario: Bumping into a Friend
Dara
"Hey Vanna! Long time no see."
Vanna
"Hi Dara! It has been ages. How have you been?"
Dara
"I'm good, thanks. Just busy with work."
Vanna (Closing)
"Anyway, I should get going. I have a meeting at 2pm."
(Signal + Reason)
Dara
"No problem. See you later!"
The Closing Sandwich
Build a polite goodbye. You need all 3 layers!
1. Signal (សញ្ញា)
...
2. Reason (ហេតុផល)
...
3. Closing (លា)
...
Why use a Signal?
Saying "Bye" suddenly is rude. "Anyway" or "Well" tells the other person you are about to stop talking.
Choose the Polite Option
You are talking to a friend, but you need to catch a bus. What do you say?
A. "Bye." (Walk away)
B. "Anyway, I'd better go. My bus is coming. See you!"
Someone says: "Hello! How are you?"
Best Answer:
A. "I am fine." (Stops conversation)
B. "I'm good, thanks. And you?" (Continues conversation)
