Read the text, point out how to say good-bye, complete the table with the expressions from the text



English speakers like a lot of variety in their everyday language. We have lots of different expressions for saying simple things.

Formal goodbyes

"Goodbye" itself is actually one of the most formal ways to say goodbye to someone. Here are some situations in which "Goodbye" is appropriate:

ü You've broken up with your partner. You're sad about it. You think that you may never see this person again.

ü You're angry with a family member. You say this as you slam the door or hang up the phone.

Farewell.

This phrase is quite formal and very emotional-sounding. It also seems very final. It's the type of thing that two lovers in a movie might say if they're never going to see each other again. You probably won't use it often in daily life.

Say "Have a good day" (or "Have a nice day," "Have a good evening," or "Have a good night") to someone that you're not very close with, like a coworker that you don't know well, an employee, a customer, or a friend of a friend.

This phrase is still a little bit formal, but not quite as formal as "Have a good day." Use this when you're not going to see someone again for at least a week.
