Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.
大师好，接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”.
今天，咱们要说说自我先容。答复这个可骇的问题，”说说你本身”。
Now, to some of you this topic may seem very basic, but learning to introduce yourself properly is incredibly important.
对你们此中的部门人来讲，这个话题很是根本，可是学着得当的先容本身很是首要。
You might need to introduce yourself without any forewarning, so you need to be prepared.
你或许要没有任何提早预警的先容一下本身，以是你必要提早筹备。
You may need to introduce yourself in your English class or in a job interview.
你可能必要在英语课或岗亭口试的时辰先容你本身。
You might need to introduce yourself at a new job, or at a new hobby or leisure activity.
你可能必要在新的事情岗亭先容本身，或在新的快乐喜爱休闲勾当中。
You may even need to introduce yourself at a big event, or convention in front of thousands of people.
你也许必要在一个大的勾当中先容本身，或在大会里当着在数千人的面先容本身。
I feel very nervous and anxious when I have to introduce myself to large groups of people, and English is my first language.
在我不能不给一大群人做自我先容时辰，我感觉很是严重发急，英语是我的母语。
For learners of English, for my students, this is incredibly intimidating.
对英语进修者来讲，对我的学生来讲，这很是吓人。
In order to successfully introduced yourself, you must have your self introduction pre-written and learnt.
为了很好地先容本身，你必需有提早写好的影象过得自我先容。
You have to be prepared.
你要有筹备。
In this video, I am going to guide you through this process.
这个视频里，我将引导你这些进程。
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.
在这节课的最后，你将会有一个完备的可以当即利用的自我先容，你可以影象。
I encourage you to share your introductions in the co妹妹ent section down below, so that the co妹妹unity and I may assist you and correct you.
我鼓动勉励你们鄙人方评论区别享自我先容，进而社群职员和我可以协助你更正。
So, let’s start with the basics of a self introduction.
让我起头自我先容的根基内容吧。
The very first thing that you’ll need to say when introducing yourself is a greeting.
你在先容本身的时辰，第一件事是打个号召。
Now, you can have formal greetings or you can have informal greetings.
你可以用正式的问候或非正式的问候。
It depends where you are, the situation you are in.
取决于你在哪里，你在甚么场所。
Let’s start with formal greetings.
咱们起头正式问候吧。
Obviously, hello.
不言而喻，你好。
Hello can be both formal and informal, but it’s fine to use it in a formal situation.
你好既可以暗示正式也能够暗示非正式，在正式场所利用也是可以的。
You also have good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
你可以用早上好，下战书好，晚上好。
Make sure you pay particular attention to what time of day it is.
注重一下当天详细时候。
I have said good morning in the evening and good evening in the morning before.
我以前曾在薄暮的时辰说过早上好，在早上说过晚上好。
One thing to note is the use of good day.
服膺一件事变，那就是good day 的利用。
In British English, good day is considered very old-fashioned, very very, very formal.
在英式英语里，good day 很是老套，很是很是正式。
It’s not co妹妹only used.
其实不经常使用。
However, it is very co妹妹on in Australian English.
但是，在澳洲英语中很常见。
They kind of shorten it down to g’day.
直接收缩成”g’day”。
G’day.
And I would say that, g’day.
我会说，g’day。
I wonder what E妹妹a from 妹妹mEnglish will think of me saying g’day.
我猜疑英国的艾玛会感觉我在说”g’day “。
Will she approve?
她会赞成吗？
I’ll ask her.
我会问问他。
But, g’day is more informal.
可是，g’day加倍非正式。
But this again is if you’re in Australia.
但这个又是合用于澳洲。
It’s just something I’ve noticed, people using in my co妹妹ents section, “Good day”.
这只是我注重到的一些事，有人在我的评论区说”good day”。
I can see why you would use it.
我大白为什么你会利用这个词。
It appears to be a greeting that is suitable for all hours of the day,
这个词可用于一天中所有时候打号召，
when in reality, in British English,
实际中，在英式英语中，
it’s just a very, very old-fashioned saying.
这是一个很是很是老套的说法。
Also note that goodnight is normally a send off, an equivalent for goodbye.
注重晚安是一个很是正式的作别，至关于再会。
You say it when you are leaving instead of when you are greeting someone.
在你筹备分开而非打号召，你可以用这词。
If you’re introducing yourself in the night time, you would say good evening.
若是你在晚上先容本身，你要说晚上好。
Now let’s talk about informal greetings.
咱们来讲说非正式问候。
It’s really important for you to find one that you feel comfortable with.
对你来讲找到一个你感觉用起来很是惬意的词相当首要。
There are lots of informal greetings, like hey, what’s up, hi, hiya, yo.
有不少非正式问候，好比hey，what’s up，hi，hiya。yo。
There’s even, what’s good?
另有what’s good？
Which is quite an American one.
哪个是很是美式的用语。
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.
坦白说，若是我说yo，若是我在英语课或一个不太正式的场所先容本身，我会感觉很是突兀，由于这个不合适我。
My particular region doesn’t use yo, so it feels a bit forced.
我特别的范畴不合用yo，听起来有点分歧适。
I really admire people who can just stand up and say, “Yo, what’s good”?
我很是赏识那些站起来直接说，”Yo，what’s good”？的人。
But it’s not gonna happen for me.
可是我不经常使用。
So make sure you pick one that you feel really comfortable saying.
以是确保你选一个让你感觉很是轻易说出口的词。
Next of course we have your name.
下面，说你的名字。
Now, there are many ways of introducing your name.
有不少方法先容你的名字。
The very basic ones like I’m or I am.
根基的一些好比I’am或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.
若是你要在特定场所先容本身，而这个场所里大都听众看不到你，举个例子在德律风上。
No one can really see you when you’re speaking on the telephone.
你在讲德律风的时辰没有人能看到你。
You can say, my name is or my name’s,
你会说，my name is 或my name’s，
with the apostrophe s, the contracted form.
有一个缩略符号，是缩略情势。
Or, if you’re in a very large auditorium or convention centre, then you might want to use this is, “This is Lucy”.
若是你在很是大的会堂或集会中间，那末你可能会想用”This is Lucy”。
On the telephone I would normally say, “hi, this is Lucy speaking, or this is Lucy.”
德律风里我凡是会很是正式地说，“hi，this is Lucy speaking”，或“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，你在哪里糊口。
There are many variations of this.
这内里有不少不同。
I’m going to start with the most basic, and move on to slightly more complicated ways of describing your geographical location.
我从最根基的起头，再到稍稍繁杂的论述你地点地址的方法。
Firstly we have I’m from, and then the place name.
起首咱们说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 然后是国籍形容词，“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.
若是你来的处所与你做自我先容的处所相隔千里，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.
若是你想说你在哪长大， 你可以说，我诞生在，发展在，然后是地名。

If you want to say that you are from one place, but are now living in another place, there are various options.
若是你想说你从某个处所来，但如今住在另外一个处所，有不少选择。

Now, those are the basics.

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自我先容内里。
A very important option is your position and your company.
一个很是首要的选项是你的职位和你的公司。

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

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

若是你在一个更加非正式的场所，这个场所里，你自我先容来结交，你和他人碰头然后相互更加领会相互，你也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?
不言而喻，有些常见的事变好比，我有一个哥哥，我有一个姐姐，我有妈妈和爸爸。可是若是你想再多说一些信息，也想显示你的说话技能呢？

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

The last point in this vocabulary section of the lesson, I want to talk to you about the dreaded fun fact.
这节课辞汇部门最后一点是，我想跟你说说的确快可笑死了的事。
