Main Ideas / Lessons (English Grade 10: Introducing Oneself and Others)

The video explains how to introduce yourself and other people in English. It also covers useful language used around introductions, such as:

  • Greetings and responses
  • Farewells
  • Thanking
  • Apologizing
  • Common questions you can ask

Method / Communication Patterns Taught

1) Introduce Yourself (Self-Introduction)

When to use: At the beginning of a meeting or conversation (for example, at an office).

Common phrases:

  • “Please allow me to introduce myself.”
  • “Good morning/hello…”
  • “My name is ____.”
  • “How do you do?” / “Nice to meet you.”

Example structures from the subtitles

  • “Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m ____.”
  • “How do you do, ____? Nice to meet you.”
  • Greeting + name + “How do you do” / “Nice to meet you”
    • “Good morning, my name is ____.”
    • “How do you do?”
    • “I’m ____.”
    • “Hello, nice to meet you.”

2) Introduce Others (Introducing a Third Person)

When to use: When you want to connect two people who haven’t met yet.

Common structure:

  • Address the listener by name
  • Mention the person being introduced
  • Use “please allow me…” / “let me introduce…”
  • State the introduced person’s name
  • Add a meeting response such as “Nice to meet you” / “How do you do”

Example structures from the subtitles

  • Tiara introduces Bayu to Rey:
    • “Hello Rey, this is Bayu.”
    • “Hi Bayu, nice to meet you / how do you do?”
  • Asking if they know each other, then proceeding:
    • “Now I don’t think so…”
  • Intro sentence + response:
    • “Hello, please to meet you. Let me introduce my friend. Her name is ____.”

3) Greetings Used Around Introductions

Greetings are used at the start, and the replies depend on the greeting.

Example greetings and responses

  • “Hi” → “Hello”
  • “Good morning” → “Good to see you again”
  • “How are you?” → “How’s life?” / “How is everything?” / “How are you doing?”

The video also suggests that greetings should match the time of day and the tone of the situation.

4) Farewell / Closing a Conversation

Use common closing lines after the introduction dialogue.

Farewell examples

  • “Sorry, I have to go now. Enjoy your…”
  • “Good bye.”
  • “See you tomorrow.”
  • “I will talk to you later.”
  • “Good night.”

(The subtitle notes that multiple variants can be used as “other forms of farewell greetings.”)

5) Thanking and Apologizing During Conversation

Thanking

  • “Thank you.”
  • Variants:
    • “Thanks.”
    • “Thank you so much.”
    • “I am extremely grateful to you.”
    • Response style: “It was nothing / you’re welcome” (e.g., “It was very kind of you.” → “It was nothing.”)

Apologizing

Expressions to say sorry:

  • “Please forgive me for my mistake.”
  • “I’m sorry.”
  • “I do apologize for ____.”

6) Asking Questions in a Self-Introduction

The video lists questions you can ask to know the other person better, including:

  • Name: “What is your name?”
  • Place: “Where do you come from?” / “Where do you live?”
  • Age: “How old are you?”
  • Job/Occupation: “What do you do?” / “What is your job?”
  • Hobbies: “What is your hobby?”
  • Favorite food: “What is your favorite food?”
  • Ideals/Career goals: “What do you want to be?”
