Hello, Mr Franks! doesn't make much sense if you are talking to your friend Peter. However, it makes plenty of sense if you are speaking to the director of the company.
There are different ways to talk to people depending on your relationship and the situation. Here are the basics of using first name, titles, and other forms in spoken English.

i am preparing a special course for arab studentes i neeed any help plz contact
You can devise a module for arab students with learning objectives and exercises. A modular approach in English as Foreign Language/Second Language is advisable. We were devised an INTERACTIVE (English as Second Language) for Korean students who are studying English Proficiency at University of the East-Caloocan Campus, Caloocan City, Metro Manila, Philippines this school year 2008-2009. mhuckgayeta.ue@gmail.com

Thanks, very useful
In Asia (and Middle East), mostly we go by the First Name basis. To show respect, we may call you Mr Kenneth. But if you are a casual friend, yes, just Kenneth. It is local culture.
In Italy we use Mr/Ms/Mrs in a formal context, or when we know a person for the first time.
i randomly met with your site , anyway thank you from mr Kenneth and his colleagues.
