Greetings Based on Time of Day
It is also customary to adjust greetings according to the time of day:
Morning (from early morning to 11:59 am): “Good morning”
Afternoon (12 pm to around 5 pm): “Good afternoon”
Evening (5 pm to midnight): “Good evening”
Notes
“Good night” is used at the end of a conversation, rather than as a greeting.
INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Introductions are used to share information about ourselves or others to those who are unfamiliar. When
meeting someone new, introduce yourself by sharing your name and a bit of personal information, such as
your profession, interests, or background. Maintain eye contact and smile during the introduction. Examples
include:
Self-Introduction: “Hello, I’m Priya Sharma. I work as a graphic designer and I love painting in my free time.”
Introducing Others: “This is Rajesh, a software engineer. We’ve known each other since college, and he’s
a fantastic cook.”
SESSION 8 Talking About Self
When you meet someone new or need to provide personal details, you often have to introduce yourself or fill
out forms with information about yourself. Here’s how you can effectively talk about yourself and fill out forms.
TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF
When introducing yourself, start by sharing your name, followed by additional details such as your occupation,
age, residence, and interests. Use nouns and verbs to make your introduction clear.
Nouns: Naming words for people, places, things, or ideas. Examples include Sarah, Bangalore, soccer, and
painting.
Verbs: Action words that describe what the noun does. Examples are read, enjoy, play, and dance. Verbs
with an ‘-ing’ ending can also function as nouns, such as swimming or jogging.
FILLING OUT A FORM
When filling out a form, carefully read each field and provide accurate information. Ensure your handwriting
is clear and your spelling is correct. Common fields in a form include:
Name: Your full name, including first name, middle name (if any), and last name.
Date of Birth: The day you were born, usually written as day-month-year. For example, 15 August 2005.
Address: Your complete postal address, including house number, street name, locality, and city.
PIN Code: A numerical code assigned to your area by the postal service.
Signature: Your handwritten name or initials.
