Unit 1 - Calling People Names
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 4:50 pm1. There are no common names where I come from; I'm the only Alba in my family.
2. My family name is pretty common, because I have known lots of people with the Moreno surname out of the family.
3. Not really; my surname means "son of a Moroccan", but none of my relatives is so.
4. No, it doesn't; I don't know anyone with that kind of surname.
5. I think that the most popular names come from England, but I can't think of any now.
6. If the person I meet is my age, I use his or her first name any time. If not, I use his or her surname until I get some trust with the person.
7. Only in business environments. If I did it, I would do it if I had trust with the employees.
8. In Spanish, there are pet names such as "amor", "cariño" or "cari".
