The question "How are you?" seems simple, but can actually make people feel very strange.
Last month, Alina Simone wrote in The New York Times about the difficulty Russians have with this question. same question, in Russian language and culture, is always answered in a negative manner. In Russia, when people are asked "how are you?" they usually complain health, weather or things that (happen) recently. So when they're asked "How are you?" in English, they don't know what to do.
In English-speaking countries, "How are you?" has one standard answer: "Fine, and you?" It is not (actual) about getting information — it's a greeting. If a native English-speaking friend really wants to know is going on in your life, he or she is more likely to ask: "What have you been up to?" or "What's new?"
But I understand why people are so(confuse). When we learn second languages, we have to learn (rule) for using words. How can you learn them? （watch) English-language TV shows is a good place to start. If you can, try to make a native English-speaking friend and talk to him or her directly.
