Introducing Oneself

1. To introduce oneself is to give information about oneself. This information usually includes your name, date and place of birth, address, phone number, education, work experience, interests, hobbies and so forth. In this way you let others know who you are. When you do the self introduction, you sometimes concentrate only on one event, person, place, or experience in order to show a certain aspect of your life. Look at the following example of self introduction.
2. Good morning, everyone! This is our first lesson and I'd like to introduction myself to you. My name is David Hume. Just call me David, please. I am from the United States, and I was born into a teacher's family. My father was a primary school art teacher. I was the only boy among the seven children in my family. That was enough to make me important, but my father loved me especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. When I was small, I used to spend hours by myself drawing lovely little animals. If my mother sent me out to play in the square, I would go on drawing in the dust under the tree. One of my favorite models was my younger sister Linda. My father did not have much work to do at the school, so he was able to teach me in his spare time. In 2002, I graduated in art from Boston University. You know the story from there, I think. I love China and I love Chinese people. That is why I am here.
