Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

我们好，等待收看跟路西学英语。

Today, we are going to talk about self introduction, the answer to that dreaded question, “Tell me about yourself”.

今日，咱们要说说毛遂自荐。答复这个可怕的疑问，”说说你自个”。

Now, to some of you this topic may seem very basic, but learning to introduce yourself properly is incredibly important.

对你们其间的有些人来说，这个论题非常基础，可是学着恰当的介绍自个非常重要。

You might need to introduce yourself without any forewarning, so you need to be prepared.

你或许要没有任何提前预警的介绍一下自个，所以你需要提前预备。

You may need to introduce yourself in your English class or in a job interview.

你可以需要在英语课或许岗位面试的时分介绍你自个。

You might need to introduce yourself at a new job, or at a new hobby or leisure activity.

你可以需要在新的作业岗位介绍自个，或许在新的喜爱休闲活动中。

You may even need to introduce yourself at a big event, or convention in front of thousands of people.

你或许需要在一个大的活动中介绍自个，或许在大会里当着在数千人的面介绍自个。

I feel very nervous and anxious when I have to introduce myself to large groups of people, and English is my first language.

在我不得不给一大群人做毛遂自荐时分，我觉得非常严峻焦虑，英语是我的母语。

For learners of English, for my students, this is incredibly intimidating.

对英语学习者来说，对我的学生来说，这非常吓人。

In order to successfully introduced yourself, you must have your self introduction pre-written and learnt.

为了极好地介绍自个，你有必要有提前写好的回想过得毛遂自荐。

You have to be prepared.

你要有预备。

In this video, I am going to guide you through this process.

这个视频里，我将辅导你这些进程。

At the end of this lesson, you will have a complete self introduction that is ready to use, and ready for you to learn off by heart.

在这节课的最终，你将会有一个无缺的可以当即运用的毛遂自荐，你可以回想。

I encourage you to share your introductions in the comment section down below, so that the community and I may assist you and correct you.

我鼓舞你们鄙人方谈论区别享毛遂自荐，进而社群人员和我可以协助你改正。

So, let’s start with the basics of a self introduction.

让我初步毛遂自荐的根柢内容吧。

The very first thing that you’ll need to say when introducing yourself is a greeting.

你在介绍自个的时分，第一件事是打个招待。

Now, you can have formal greetings or you can have informal greetings.

你可以用正式的问好或许非正式的问好。

It depends where you are, the situation you are in.

取决于你在哪里，你在啥场合。

Let’s start with formal greetings.

咱们初步正式问好吧。

Obviously, hello.

清楚明晰，你好。

Hello can be both formal and informal, but it’s fine to use it in a formal situation.

你好既可以标明正式也可以标明非正式，在正式场合运用也是可以的。

You also have good morning, good afternoon and good evening.

你可以用早上好，下午好，晚上好。

Make sure you pay particular attention to what time of day it is.

留心一下当天具体时刻。

I have said good morning in the evening and good evening in the morning before.

我之前曾在傍晚的时分说过早上好，在早上说过晚上好。

One thing to note is the use of good day.

谨记一件作业，那就是good day 的运用。

In British English, good day is considered very old-fashioned, very very, very formal.

在英式英语里，good day 非常老套，非常非常正式。

It’s not commonly used.

并不常用。

However, it is very common in Australian English.

可是，在澳洲英语中很常见。

They kind of shorten it down to g’day.

直接缩短成”g’day”。

G’day.

And I would say that, g’day.

我会说，g’day。

I wonder what Emma from mmmEnglish will think of me saying g’day.

我置疑英国的艾玛会觉得我在说”g’day “。

Will she approve?

她会附和吗？

I’ll ask her.

我会问问他。

But, g’day is more informal.

可是，g’day愈加非正式。

But this again is if you’re in Australia.

但这个又是适用于澳洲。

It’s just something I’ve noticed, people using in my comments section, “Good day”.

这只是我留心到的一些事，有人在我的谈论区说”good day”。

I can see why you would use it.

我理解为何你会运用这个词。

It appears to be a greeting that is suitable for all hours of the day,

这个词可用于一天中一切时刻打招待，

when in reality, in British English,

实际中，在英式英语中，

it’s just a very, very old-fashioned saying.

这是一个非常非常老套的说法。

Also note that goodnight is normally a send off, an equivalent for goodbye.

留心晚安是一个非常正式的道别，恰当于再会。

You say it when you are leaving instead of when you are greeting someone.

在你预备脱离而非打招待，你可以用这词。

If you’re introducing yourself in the night time, you would say good evening.

假定你在晚上介绍自个，你要说晚上好。

Now let’s talk about informal greetings.

咱们来说说非正式问好。

It’s really important for you to find one that you feel comfortable with.

对你来说找到一个你觉得用起来非常舒畅的词至关重要。

There are lots of informal greetings, like hey, what’s up, hi, hiya, yo.

有许多非正式问好，比方hey，what’s up，hi，hiya。yo。

There’s even, what’s good?

还有what’s good？

Which is quite an American one.

哪一个对错常美式的用语。

Honestly, if I said yo, when I was introducing myself in an English class or in a less formal situation, I would feel really stupid, because it doesn’t suit me.

坦率说，假定我说yo，假定我在英语课或许一个不太正式的场合介绍自个，我会觉得非常突兀，因为这个不合适我。

My particular region doesn’t use yo, so it feels a bit forced.

我特别的领域不适用yo，听起来有点不适合。

I really admire people who can just stand up and say, “Yo, what’s good”?

我非常赏识那些站起来直接说，”Yo，what’s good”？的人。

But it’s not gonna happen for me.

可是我不常用。

So make sure you pick one that you feel really comfortable saying.

所以保证你选一个让你觉得非常简略说出口的词。

Next of course we have your name.

下面，说你的名字。

Now, there are many ways of introducing your name.

有许多方法介绍你的名字。

The very basic ones like I’m or I am.

根柢的一些比方I’am或许I am。

I’m Lucy. I am Lucy.

Or, if you’re introducing yourself in a situation, where the majority of the audience cannot see you, for example on the telephone.

假定你要在特定场合介绍自个，而这个场合里大都听众看不到你，举个比方在电话上。

No one can really see you when you’re speaking on the telephone.

你在讲电话的时分没有人能看到你。

You can say, my name is or my name’s,

你会说，my name is 或许my name’s，

with the apostrophe s, the contracted form.

有一个缩略符号，是缩略方法。

Or, if you’re in a very large auditorium or convention centre, then you might want to use this is, “This is Lucy”.

假定你在非常大的礼堂或许会议中心，那么你可以会想用”This is Lucy”。

On the telephone I would normally say, “hi, this is Lucy speaking, or this is Lucy.”

电话里我一般会非常正式地说，“hi，this is

Lucy speaking”，或许“this is Lucy。”

Next let’s talk about location, where you’re from and where you’re living.

下一步，咱们说说地址，你从哪里来，你在哪里日子。

There are many variations of this.

这儿面有许多不一样。

I’m going to start with the most basic, and move on to slightly more complicated ways of describing your geographical location.

我从最根柢的初步，再到稍稍凌乱的论说你地址地址的方法。

Firstly we have I’m from, and then the place name.

首要咱们说I’m from，然后是地址。

I’m from Bedfordshire.

我从贝德福德郡来。

We also have I’m and then the nationality adjective, “I’m British, I’m English.”

咱们还可以说I’m 然后是国籍描述词，“I’m British,I’m English.”

If you are from somewhere that is quite far from the place where you’re introducing yourself, you can say I come from, and then you can name that place.

假定你来的当地与你做毛遂自荐的当地相隔千里，你可以说I come from 然后你说地名。

Come from implies a little bit more of a journey.

come from 暗含一些间隔的意思。

If you want to say where you grew up, you can say, I was born and raised in, place name.

假定你想说你在哪长大， 你可以说，我出世在，生长在，然后是地名。

I was born and raised in England.

我生在英国，长在英国。

If you were born in one place, but grew up in a different place, you can say, I was born in France but raised in Sweden.

假定你出世在一个当地，但在另一个当地长大，你可以说，我出世在法国，但在瑞士长大。

If you want to say that you are from one place, but are now living in another place, there are various options.

假定你想说你从某个当地来，但如今住在另一个当地，有许多选择。

You can say, I grew up in. . . “I grew up in LA, but now live in New York”.

你可以说，我在……长大。”我在洛杉矶长大，但如今日子在纽约。”

“I’m originally from Edinburgh but I’m now based in London”.

“我来自爱丁堡，但如今我坐标伦敦。”

If you want to say how long you have lived in a certain place, you can say, “I’ve been living in London for three years”.

假定你想表达在某个当地你日子了多久，你可以说，”我在伦敦日子了3年。”

Or, “I’ve spent the past few years in Paris”.

“我曩昔几年都在巴黎。”

Now, those are the basics.

这些是根柢的。

Let’s talk about some other options that you can add on to your self introduction.

我讲讲其他选项，这些选项你可以添加到你的毛遂自荐里边。

A very important option is your position and your company.

一个非常重要的选项是你的职位和你的公司。

For example, “I work at 谷歌 in the marketing department”.

举个比方，”我在谷歌的商场部作业。”

You can say, I work at or I work for.

你可以说，I work at,或许 I work for。

You would not say I work in, and then a company name.

你不能说I work in，然后公司称号。

It’s at or for a company name.

用at 或许for 来接公司称号。

You can also say, “I’m a manager at Starbucks”.

你也能说，”我是一名星巴克的司理。”

I’m a position at company.

我在公司的职位是。

Again, the at can also be replaced with a for.

再一次，at可以换成for。

If you just want to give general idea of the field in which you work, you can say, I work in, general area.

假定你只想笼统表达你的作业领域，你可以说，I work in 接广泛领域。

“I work in sales”.

“我是出售。”

If you want to give the specific position, you can say, “I work as a deputy manager”.

假定你想表达具体职位，你可以说，”我是副司理。”

You might also want to mention your qualifications, especially if you are introducing yourself in a job interview.

你或许想提一下你的天资，特别是假定你在面试中做毛遂自荐。

If you want to say that you are close to graduation, you can say, “I’m about to graduate”.

假定你想说你即将结业，你可以说，”我即将结业。”

You could also say, I am a subject graduate or postgraduate.

你可以说，我是某个专业的结业生或许研讨生。

“I have a bachelor of arts degree in marketing”.

“我有商场推广专业学士学位。”

或许”我是商场推广专业学士。”

Or just, “A BA in marketing”.

或许就是”是商场推广专业学士。”

“I’m a biology post-grad”.

“我是生物学结业生。”

Shortening it down to grad is more informal, so it might be something that you do at a convention or in your English class.

把这个词减缩成grad更为非正式，你在会议中或许英语课中可以常见。

If you want to talk about courses or other achievements, you can say, I’m currently taking a course in subject, Maths.

假定你想说说课程或许其他获得的作用，你可以说，我如今正在学习一个类别，数学。

Now, note the preposition, in versus on.

假定你想说你结束了一个课程，可以写在你的经历上，你可以说我现已结束了某个类别72个小时的课程。

For the time scale of the course, you can say the number, dash, and then the unit of time, and that together forms an adjective.

描绘课程时刻长度，你可以说数字、杠，然后跟时刻单位，一起构成一个描述词。

A 72-hour subject course.

Now, if you are in a more informal situation, one in which you’re introducing yourself to make friends, and to meet people and to get to know each other better, you may want to talk about your family.

假定你在一个更为非正式的场合，这个场合里，你毛遂自荐来结交，你和别人碰头然后彼此更为晓得彼此，你或许在想谈谈你的家庭。

Now, obviously, there are the normal things like, I have a brother, I have a sister, I have a mum and a dad. But what if you want to give a little bit more information and also show off your language skills?

清楚明晰，有些常见的作业比方，我有一个哥哥，我有一个姐姐，我有母亲和父亲。可是假定你想再多说一些信息，也想闪现你的言语技巧呢？

One common mistake I hear my students make is when they’re trying to talk about, how large or how small their family is.

我听我学生常犯的一个差错是，在他们讲到，他的家庭巨细的时分。

They want to tell me how many family members there are in their family.

他们想告诉我他们家有几个家庭成员。

I often hear them say, “We are five in our family”.

我常听他们说，”我家有五人。”

This isn’t correct in English.

这不是正确的英语表达。

In English we say, I’m from a family of number.

英语中咱们说，我来自一个几口之家。

“I’m from a family of four”.

“我来自一个四口之家。”

Or, “We are a family of four”.

“咱们是四口之家。”

That’s a really important one for you to remember.

对你来说这句对错常重要，值得记住的话。

It’s a mistake I hear very frequently.

这是我常常可以听到的差错。

If you want to talk about how many brothers or sisters you have, you can say, “I am one of four siblings”.

假定你想说说你有几个兄弟姐妹，你可以说”咱们兄弟姐妹四人”

Siblings doesn’t specify the gender, so you don’t have to say two brothers, one sister.

siblings 没有具体的性别特指，所以你不必说两个哥哥，一个小妹。

You can just say siblings, three.

你可以说兄弟姐妹三人。

“I’m one of four siblings”.

“咱们兄弟姐妹四人”

Or even, if you’re already talking about families, you can just say, “I’m one of four,” and they’ll understand you.

或许即便你预备说说你的家庭，你可以说”咱们四口之家，”他们会理解你的。

If you have no brothers or sisters, you can say I am an only child.

假定你没有弟弟或许小妹，你可以说我是独生子孙。

“I’m an only child”.

“我是独生子孙。”

You might want to talk about hobbies.

你或许想说喜爱。

You have all the usual phrases like, I really like running, I really enjoy tennis.

你可以用这些常用语比方，我喜爱跑步，我喜爱网球。

A really good phrase I think is, I’m a big fan of, “I’m a big fan of go-karting”.

一个非常好的短语我认为是，我超喜爱~。”我超喜爱卡丁车。”

You can also say, I am a keen and then a noun.

你也可以说，我是张狂的然后接一个名词。

For example, “I’m a keen runner”.

举例，”我是张狂的跑步喜爱者。”

Or, “I’m a keen tennis player”.

或许”我是张狂的网球喜爱者。”

Now, I’ve left this one till last because really, it really isn’t as necessary anymore,

我将这个留在最终因为，这不是有必要的。

but it’s important that you know how to say it.

可是你晓得怎么说非常重要。

It’s age.

这就是年纪。

We have the basic one.

咱们有最根柢的表达。

“I am 25 years old”.

“我25岁。”

We can shorten it down. “I’m 25.”

咱们可以缩短。”我25了。”

If you don’t want to specify your age, you can say, I’m in my early, mid or late, and then your decade.

假定你不想特别指明你的年纪，你可说，我是多少岁出头，多岁，好几，然后跟你的年纪。

You might also hear people say, “She’s a 20-something marketing graduate”.

你也可以听到我们说，”她是个20来岁商场推广专业结业生。”

Or, “He’s a 30-something accountant”.

或许”他是个30多岁的会计师。”

That’s if you don’t know their age, or you think it would be rude to try and guess their age.

假定你不晓得他们的年纪，或许你觉得猜测别人的年纪不礼貌。

The last point in this vocabulary section of the lesson, I want to talk to you about the dreaded fun fact.

这节课词汇有些最终一点是，我想跟你说说几乎快好笑死了的事。

I’ve been to a lot of events, I’ve been to a lot of conventions, and I’ve had to introduce myself in a lot of English classes, and something that teachers and speakers love to ask you to do is give a fun fact about yourself.

我参加过许多活动，我参加过许多集会，我要在许多英语课程介绍自个，教师们或许讲演者喜爱做的作业就是让你说一件发生在自个身上的趣事。

I must admit, I have asked my students to provide a fun fact about themselves.

我有必要招认，我让自个的学生也说过发生在他们身上的趣事。

It’s annoying, ’cause you have to stand up and say, my name is and my job is, and my fun fact is. . .

这很厌烦，因为你不得不站起来说，我叫~我的作业是~，我的趣事是这样的……

And that could be really, really daunting, intimidating.

那真的非常非常难，很可怕。

To suddenly think of an interesting fact about yourself is really, really hard.

要俄然想出一件自个的趣事，非常非常难。

So, I highly recommend that you have a fun fact up your sleeve, a fun fact prepared.

所以我真的主张你，你袖子里要藏好一个趣事小抄，一个提前预备好的趣事。

Think about an interesting fear, a weird like or dislike.

想一件风趣的又惊悚的作业，一个新鲜的喜爱的或许不喜爱的作业。

A good one is always your pet, or a strange achievement or extraordinary experience.

一个好的比方是你的宠物，一个新鲜的作用或一段非同寻常的阅历。

I always say that I have hypermobility, and then I’ll just show them my thumbs or dislocate my shoulder blade.

我常说我有关节过度活动归纳征，然后我给别人看我的大拇指，或许将我的肩胛骨错位。

That is twice in a month I’ve done that on YouTube.

我在YouTube上面一个月能做两次。

I need to calm down.

我要镇定下。

Have a think, if you want to do bonus homework, share your fun fact about yourself.

想一想，假定你想要额定的作业，共享关于你自个的趣事。

But this is optional.

这只是个主张。

I know how horrible the fun fact can be.

我晓得趣闻可以多吓人。

Now, I’ve given you loads of different options. I’ve given you the basics and then you can add on the options.

我给了你们许多不一样主张选项。我给了你们一些根柢表达，然后你们可以自行添加主张选项。

But you’ll be left with a lot of short sentences.

可是最终你会得到的事许多小短句。

Let’s see how mine would look.

I’m a big fan of running and fitness classes.

Now, whilst all of that is grammatically correct and very clear, if I do say so myself, I think it would be a lot better if I condensed these seven sentences down into two flowing sentences.

我这么介绍我自个的时分，我会保证语法正确清楚。我觉得若将这7个语句紧缩成2个流水句会好许多。

What do you think of this?

你觉得呢？

See if you can condense your introduction down to two flowing sentences, minus the greeting.

That could be a little sentence on its own.

I haven’t removed any of the information.
