Introducing yourself in English is one of
the most important communication skills for beginners. Whether you are meeting
new people at school, starting a new job, traveling abroad, or attending an

professional relationships, feel more confident when speaking English, and
communicate clearly in everyday situations.
You may need to introduce yourself at
school, at work, while traveling, or during online meetings. Each situation may
require a different level of formality.
Hello – A neutral greeting used in most
situations.

The “H” in hello is soft. The vowel in meet
is long /iː/. Avoid translating directly from Spanish.

Do you usually greet people by shaking hands?
Well, in today's session we are going to talk about:
Look at the picture, and describe it with a partner. If you have any questions about vocabulary, don't worry use the expression:
- Teacher, How do you say_____________ in English?
Well, if your perception is as similar as mine, the description would be something as follows:
"There are 2 men shaking hands, on the right side of the picture there is a guy who is wearing a black silk shirt with khakis with a black belt. What does he look like? Actually, He's swarthy and has a short and curly hair; maybe he is an outgoing and friendly person because of his smile. On the right we can see a white skin man in a light brown sweater responding the greeting.
Related to the weather, it could say it's kind of cold. Additionally, behind him it can see a building that probably is located at the downtown of the city.
