How do you do? vs How are you?

We often don't know what to say when someone asks you "How do you do?" and yes often say "fine, thanks!". But that's not right... let's see why!
How do you do?
This is not a question. It is another formal way of saying "Hello." It is also very British less than American English.
The correct response is; "Pleased to meet you." or "How do you do." or just "Hello."
We only really use it the first time we meet someone.

How are you?
This is a question that refers about your state, or humor, etc.
A response is; "I'm fine thanks. And you?"

Bored vs Boring

When we want to speak in English, you often stop your conversation because you don't know how to say what you want to say... In this case, this are common words in our native language, because whe usually are without doing nothing... then you say...

Bored is an adjective that describes when someone feels tired and unhappy because something is not interesting or because they have nothing to do.

Eg: When I am bored I look at something funny to do

Boring is an adjective that means something is not interesting or exciting.

Eg: Visiting your grandparents can be boring.
