On the contrary, being nice is what's left when you've failed at everything else.” ― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale. Warm up Introducing people is both an art and a means of ensuring good manners. A good introduction can get people off to a great conversational start and can help ease any discomfort or unease at meeting for the first time. And to think all that power is in your hands!. Introducing people is a basic means to give two people an opportunity to get to know one another. Your role in introducing is to clarify the basics of who each person is, and any relationship they have to you. You might also need to help the conversation flow just after introducing but only briefly. 1.Answer the questions. What is a good introduction? What is your role in introducing people? Vocabulary
2. Read and memorize. Фразы-заменители "be allowed to do something, be not allowed to do something" могут использоваться для описания разрешения в настоящем, будущем и прошедшем времени, например: I am not allowed to leave the house. Мне не разрешено покидать дом. You will be allowed to see the patient soon. Вам разрешат увидеться с больным скоро. We were allowed to take his car. Нам было разрешено взять его машину. They weren't allowed to stay there. Им было не разрешено остаться там. She wasn't allowed to go there alone. Ей было не разрешено идти туда одной. 3. Read and translate the expressions. 1. Let me introduce myself to you. 2. Let me introduce you to our Managing Director. 3. Let me help you with these accounting documents. 4. Let me know when you finish this work. 5. Let me tell you the truth. 6. Allow me to greet you on behalf of our delegation. 7. Allow me to show your our office. 8. Allow me to type this balance sheet for you. 9. Allow me to help you with the profit and loss statement. 10. Meet my group-mate, Kelly. 11. Meet my friend, Alex. 4. Match the introductions and their responses.
5. Read some rules while introducing people. Memorize them. Work out who has the greater rank or authority of the two people you are about to introduce. If you don't already know this, you'll need to hazard an educated guess on the spot. Your boss will usually be of greater rank or authority than your colleague, partner, or best friend. Your 70 year old mother-in-law is of greater seniority than your brand new boyfriend. Your senior colleague takes precedence over your junior colleague. Your customer should be introduced to your employees. Great age takes precedence over most rank or authority, out of courtesy and respect. All other things being equal, the person you've known the longest should be named first: introduce your junior friend to your senior friend. For social introductions, men are usually introduced to women, as a sign of respect. This does not apply in a business context where women hold senior positions. For a formal occasion, the following approach is appropriate. Use the phrase "May I present", "I'd like to introduce", or "Have you met?" Introductions are the first phrases we say when we meet someone new. They are an important part of small talk - what we say when we meet people at parties. These phrases are different than the phrases we use when we greet friends. 6. Read these phrases and practice them in these short conversations. 1. Here are expressions to introduce yourself: My name is ___. I'm ___. Nice to meet you; I'm___. Pleased to meet you; I'm___. Let me introduce myself; I'm___. I'd like to introduce myself; I'm___. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is ___. / I am ___. My (first/ last) name is ___. Please call me ___. 2. Here are expressions to introduce others: Jack, please meet Nicolas. Jack, have you met Nicolas? I'd like you to meet Liza. I'd like to introduce you to Betty. Leila, this is Barbara. Barbara this is Leila. This is Mr. Smith, our new manager. I want you to meet William, a new student. I’d like to introduce my friend, William Useful responses when introducing yourself or other people. Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you. Happy to meet you. How do you do? 3. A sample-dialogue Alex is talking to the new manager and his assistant. Notice how they introduce themselves: Alex: Hi! My name is Alex Litterman, the new manager. William: Hi! I'm William O'Brian. Nice to meet you, Mr Alex Litterman. John: William, please meet Mr Steve Lynch, my assistant. Jack: How do you do? Nicolas: How do you do? Things to remember: When introducing yourself or other people in a formal situation use full names. ("I'm Alex Litterman.") "How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means "Hello" There are a number of phrases that are commonly used to introduce strangers. 4. Steve, I don't think you've met Nancy. I don't think you know Susan. May I introduce you to Kevin? Sara, do you know Mike? Jake, I'd like you to meet Mary. When you meet someone the first time, it is common to greet the person with "How do you do?" the correct response is "How do you do." Here is a short introductory conversation: 5. Ken: Peter, I'd like you to meet Mary. Peter: How do you do? Mary: How do you do. Ken: Mary works for ... A variation is also "It's a pleasure to meet you." or "Pleased to meet you." Ken: Peter, I'd like you to meet Mary. Peter: It's a pleasure to meet you/ Pleased to meet you. Mary: How do you do. Ken: Mary works for ... In informal situations, especially in North America, introductions are also made simply saying: "This is Armanda." It is also common to just say "Hi" or "Hello" as a response in this informal setting. It is also quite common to shake hands when you are introduced. After the initial introduction, hand shaking generally takes place in more formal, business situations. Otherwise, people just say "Hi." 7. Complete the dialogues with the appropriate responses. 1. А: Let me introduce myself to you. My name is ___.I am a ___. В: Nice to meet you. My name is ___.I am a representative of ___.We are here to ___. 2. А: My name is ___. Allow me to greet you on behalf of our ___. В: Nice to meet you. My name is ___. I am a representative of ___. We are here to ___. 3. А: Hello! My name is ___. I am here to see ___. В: Where are you from, ___.? А: I am from...We agreed to___. В: Just a moment, madam. 8 .Introduce these people according to the sample: This is my friend Jack .Hi,Jack! I’m Linda. Nice to meet you.
