LISTEN

Listen to the audio recording below.

READ

When you introduce yourself, you should add more pauses in your speech because most of your information will be new to the listener.

Write a self-introduction. Include your name, job title, the languages you speak, where you grew up and your interests. Write it out so that each thought group is on a separate line as shown below.

PRACTICE

Practice giving your own self-introduction using pauses to make sure new information is clear.

If you have a way to record your voice, practice your self-introduction and record yourself. Listen to yourself. Is all of the new information clear?
