"How are you?" is a nice question.It's a friendly way to greet other people.But when a person says "How are you?",they might expect to hear fine in reply,even if the other person isn't actually fine.The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "fine" isn't really an answer.They are common ways of saying "Hello" and "Hi".
Sometimes people don't say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone asks, "Do you agree?the other person might be thinking, "No,I don't agree.I think you are wrong.This doesn't sound very polite,so they might say,I'm not so sure.It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
It's interesting when people want to finish talking.For example,when someone wants to finish talking with another person on the phone,they may say "I have to go now." Sometimes they might give an excuse,such as "Someone is at the door" or "I left something on the stove (爐子)".The excuse might be real,or it might not.It's a polite way to stop a conversation and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.People don't always say exactly what they are thinking.That's just part of the game of language.
