Choosing the right way to address someone can be quite difficult. When you chat with a young lady, is it $1$ to address her with the title "Miss" or "Ms", or just use her first name?
It's very hard to know how to address someone from a different $2$ . In the West, it has become $3$ to call someone by his or her name. Not long before, the Wall Street Journal stopped using "Mr" and "Mrs" on its sports $4$ . As the paper's writer, Jason, said, titles could be tricky in sports writing. For example, a report on a game could be $5$ like this: "Mr Travis passed the ball to Mr Fletcher, and Mr Fletcher found Mr Rooney, who finally scored!" Funny, right?
But someone $6$ with Jason on it. "Using no titles makes addressing people easier," said Jonathan, an American reporter. " $7$ the use of titles still plays an important part in society."
Then what should you do when you're facing this problem? If you're addressing someone of the same $8$ , then first names are fine. However, if someone has a title, such as "Doctor" $9$ "Professor", you'd better address him or her with the title and $10$ .
