An introduction is an important step to making new friends.

In today's lesson, we'll be teaching you how to introduce yourself to people you'll meet.

Let's watch how you would introduce yourself to a new student at school.

Hi! I'm Hannah; what's your name?

Nice to meet you, Hannah, my name is Nicole.

Nice to meet you, Nicole.

You're new here, aren't you?

Yeah.

Where do you live?

I live in Quezon City.

Where do you live, Hannah?

I live in Quezon City, too!

Do you have any siblings?

No, I'm an only child.

But I live with my mom, my dad, my Lolo, and my Lola.

Oh, and we also have three dogs!

Cute! What are your dogs' names?

Their names are Nacho, Haley, and Sky.

Do you have any pets?

No, I don't.

I just live with my parents and my four older brothers.

Oh, OK. What are their names?

My brothers' names are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Oh, OK.

It was nice to meet you, Hannah.

Nice to meet you, too.

- Bye, Nicole! - Bye!

Did you see how both girls listened to the other person and asked follow-up questions?

When you're talking to someone, don't forget to make eye contact, smile, and be polite.

Next, we'll watch an example of how to introduce yourself to more than one person.

Hey, guys, this is my friend, Kyle.

Hi, guys, I'm Kyle.

Hey, Kyle, I'm Mark; nice to meet you.

I'm Ian; where are you from?

Nice to meet you, Mark and Ian, I'm from Makati.

Oh, we're from Makati, too. Do you play football?

No, I don't, sorry. But I play basketball.

OK, maybe we can teach you how to play football.

Sure, that would be fun; thanks.

Do you have any pets?

Yeah, I have two dogs, Boris and Ivan.

Cool! I have a dog, too.

What's his name?

His name is Captain, but we call him Cap.

Oh, that's nice.

Anyways, I have to go; it was nice to meet you guys, Mark and Ian.

Yeah, see you!

See you again!

Did you see how someone else introduced Kyle?

He was courteous and friendly to new people, and he even asked follow-up questions.

And that's how you introduce yourself, whether it's to one person or a large group of people.

Now you know.

Practice saying these expressions a few times at home or with a friend so that when you meet someone new, you'll be prepared.
