The document provides examples of formal and informal greetings and leave-takings. It then gives a formal and informal conversation example to practice using those expressions. The formal conversation uses more formal greetings like "Good morning" while the informal uses casual greetings like "Hi" and "What's up?". Both conversations follow customary greeting, small talk, and leave-taking etiquette for their respective levels of formality.
