Comprehension – Strategy 1: Comparing Greetings

Being close to people doesn’t only mean you are sitting beside them. You may have a close relationship with someone. You and that person may know each other very well. In the same way, being distant from people doesn’t always mean you are thousands of kilometres apart. You may feel distant from your neighbours because you don’t know them.
