Diversify Your Responses to 'How are you?'
Responding with a simple 'fine' to 'how are you?' can lead to dull conversations. By introducing more lively and native-like responses, conversations can become dynamic and engaging. Expressions like 'how you doing?' or 'I'm on cloud nine' add color and variety to interactions, making them more interesting and personalized. Your identity shines through in the way you communicate, so finding equivalent expressions in English that reflect your personality is key.
