Mr, Mrs,Miss, Ms Mr is the title placed before a man‟s lastname, e.g. Mr Smith. Mrs and Miss are also titles. Mrs is placed before a married Woman‟s last name and Miss before the last name of an unmarried woman or a girl. Nowadays, the titleMs/miz/ is also used to address both married women and single women. Notice these titles are used only before last names. They are not used with first names only, e.g. you can say: Mr Smith, or Mr Henry Smith, but you can‟t say Mr Henry.2.Visa and Passport passport is the government document to becarried by a traveler abroad, giving personal particulars, such as name, age, sex, nationality and so on. Visa is the stamp or signature put on a passport to show that it has been examined and approved by the officials of a foreign country which the owner intends to visit ( …entrance or …entry visa ) or leave ( … exit visa ).3.How to Make Introduction A great difference betweenAmerican social customs and those of other countries lies in how names are used. Most Americans don‟t like using Mr, Mrs, or Miss.They find these terms too formal. People of all ages prefer to use first names instead of titles and last names. For example, one may say, “How do you do? My name is Wilson-----James Wilson. Call me James.”“Glad to meet you . I‟m Miller. But call me Paul.”Sometimes the ladies you first meet may say, “Don‟t call me Mrs Smith, just call me Sally.” So when your American fiends do not use your last name or titles, that doesn‟t mean any lack of respect .Using first names usually shows friendliness.Language Points:Professer Water Introduces Herself1.
