E. Paragraph
I believe the first thing you ought to know about American customs is how introductions are made in the United States. A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries lies in the way in which names are used. Most Americans don’t like using Mr., Mrs. or Miss. They find these terms too formal. In the United States, people of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names. For example, one may say, “My name is Wilson—James Wilson. Call me James.” “ Glad to meet you. I’m Miller⁸. But call me Paul.” “ How do you do? ” “ How do you do? ”Sometimes the ladies that you first meet will also say, “Don’t call me Mrs. Smith, just call me Sally.”
So, as you can see, using only first names usually indicates friendliness⁹. Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names; for example “Mary Smith, this is John Jones.” In this situation, you are free to decide whether to call the lady “Mary” or “Miss Smith”. Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using family names, that is, surnames¹⁰: Mr. Smith, Miss White, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. Of course, foreigners who come to the States may feel uncomfortable using only first names. For them it is quite acceptable¹¹ to be more formal. You just smile and say, “Excuse my being formal when meeting new friends. I am accustomed to it. After a while I’ll use first names too.”
So, if your American friends do not use your last names or titles, that really doesn’t mean any lack of respect. They are used to being informal.
