• A person can be introduced to others by telling them their name, what they do, how we got to know them, or simply
just sharing some interesting information about them.
This is my friend
Mohita. We go
to dance class
together.
TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF
Talking about yourself is a fundamental part of communication, whether you're introducing yourself to new people,
participating in an interview, or simply making conversation. Being able to effectively and confidently talk about
yourself can help you make a positive impression and build meaningful connections.
You usually start by telling your name. Then you can talk about other things, such as what you do, your age, where you
live, or even about the things or activities that you like or dislike. For all these sentences, you will use nouns and verbs.
A noun is a 'naming' word that is used for a person, place, thing, or idea. Some examples of nouns are Amaira, Delhi,
Cricket and Chair.
A verb is a 'doing' word that tells us what the noun does. Some examples of verbs are play, like, eat, and write. Note
that some verbs with an 'ing' ending can also act as nouns. Swimming is an example. We can talk about likes and
dislikes using nouns as well as verbs that end with 'ing'. For example, cycling and swimming.
Structuring Your Self-Introduction
To make sure your introduction is clear and interesting, follow these easy steps:
1. Start with a Greeting: Begin by saying hello in a polite way that fits the situation.
Example: "Hi everyone!" or "Good morning!" or "Hi!"
2. Introduce Yourself: Say your name and a little bit about who you are.
Example: "My name is Akshaj, and I'm from Delhi."
3. Expand on Key Points: Talk a bit more about important parts of your life, like your job, what you study, your hobbies,
skills, and what you hope to do in the future.
Example: "I work as a Software Expert at Tech Point.
In my free time, I love hiking and cooking.
I'm good at organising events and helping others.
In the future, I hope to become an Entrepreneur with my own Tech Company."
4. Share a Personal Touch: Add something unique about you, like an interesting experience or something you care
about.
Example: "One of my favorite experiences was volunteering in a training camp for physically challenged children in
Mumbai. I believe in the importance of giving back to the community."
