How are you?/ How's life?/How's it going? Explanation: First anwer given is more than acceptable, however, second is absolutely not. How do you do is way too formal. This is without any doubt a letter between friends or at least two people that know each other. I am a Dutch native teaching English in Spain. Martijn Naarding |
