2.Hello Kate, I'm Chris. - It is polite to tell the person your name too.
3.Good Morning, I'm very well thank you. - This is the most formal answer to a formal question.
4.Yes, lovely. - When people want to talk about about the weather just agree, it is a way to 'break the ice.'
5.Oh, quite nice thanks. - This question is usually asked to be polite , so don't give too much information.
6. I'm Mikel M.I.k:E.L. - It helps to spell your name if your name might be unusual to a person from aonther country.
7.I'm well Thank you. - Don't confuse this question with 'How are you?' or 'What do you do?'
8. See You later. - Just echo what they say when leaving, e.g. if they say bye, you say bye and so on.
9. Nice to meet you too. - Long answers are better with people you don't know well.
10. You too. - it is nice to wish someone a nice day in return but using this short phrase is enough.
11. I'm from spain. - I'm spanish would be ok, but not really correct.
