Unit 1Introducing Yourself
After this chapter, students are expected to be able to:-
Introduce themselves appropriately,- Greet people nicely using many
greeting expressions,- Know how to respond kindly if someone
greets,- Know how to introduce someone to other people,- Make a
small talk during the brief conversation
Introduction of oneself is practically mandatory for a person
when he/she meet someone new, or he/she has never met before.- Is
it important?- Very.
Example of formal greeting/introduction:
- If I may introduce myself- Good morning/afternoon/night-
Hello, my name is nice to meet you- Please allow me to introduce
myself- and many other more
Example of informal greeting/introduction:
- Hi!- Howdy!- Long time no see!- Hey, how do you do?- Its been
a while, eh?- and many other else
The appropriate response for greetings/introductions:- Im great,
thank you- Yes, good day to you too- Wow, it really has been a
while- Im fine, how about you?- Nice to meet you- Etc.Introducing
other people
Not only you have to be able to introduce yourself, you must
also capable to introduce your friend to other people. Introducing
other people to other people have a different pattern from
introducing your own self. You act like a bridge, or as Nokias
motto: connecting people.
Expressions used when introducing a friend to your other
friend:Hey, Id like you to meet my friendThere is someone Id like
you to meetYou two should know each other,Hey, here is my friend,
have you two met?
Can you find other example?Based on your attitude and way of
introducing yourself, people can either consider you a nice,
polite, and well-mannered person, or they can also judge you as
rude, impolite, and uncivilized. So, choose wisely!
