A: Hello, Doctor Miller. It's nice to meet you.  

B: Please call me Peter.

A: OK. Are you a medical doctor? It must be helpful when you sell medical equipment.

B: Actually, no. My doctorate was in electronic engineering, but it's still helpful for me when I sell our equipment.


B

Good morning, everyone. I'm happy to be here today to tell you about our new project. My name is Alessandro Rossi. I'm the project leader on the Starlight programming project.

Pleased to meet you. Here's my card. My real name is Megumi Tanaka, but people who are not from my country think it's difficult to say my name, so I use another name, Meg, when I'm working internationally.

Which information do people have on their business cards in your country?

I didn’t observe closely, so I’m unsure about it. I believe full name, email address, and phone number are essential. Additionally, it may include the company name and position.

The business card is rather obsolete in my country; however the main informations are name, address, e-mail, company name, phone number and Whatsapp; sometimes on the business card we also find an aphorism or a logo.

In my country, people usually don't have business cards. In my case, I never see someone giving a bussiness card, so for me it is very weird to see that happened.
