0:00 What's good everybody, With a new video and new energy, we have reached the 50th day of our free spoken English course. And today I would like to teach you how to charm everyone's heart by an effective and powerful introduction. We have to introduce ourselves in a variety of contexts and settings, and occasionally we don't have the sentences ready or we don't know how to introduce ourselves in this specific circumstance. For example, if you ever meet someone at a party, the introduction will be very casual. However, if you meet someone in a formal setting, such as a job interview, when you meet your boss or coworkers, or when you have to introduce yourself
0:46 then introduction will be a little different, In order to cover all these variations, we will learn many sentences. if you want to master the art of introductions or if you want to slay everyone then you have to practice by writing down all these sentences. Your introduction has to be pre-written and learned. So when you are introducing yourself in front of a big gathering you feel more confident about your personality. Because your mind won't be constantly trying to figure out what to say once the sentences are ready, you can work on your body language and speaking style so carefully attend today's lesson. Please make sure to share this if you believe that your sibling, brother, friend, coworker,
1:34 or anyone else could benefit from learning this skill. Let's get started Before we begin here is an important announcement I would like to make, So guys ocean English academy is all set to launch the residential program so If you want to learn English with me by coming to the Gurgaon through our residential programs You can call this number to learn more about the course I guarantee that you will make 60% progress on your current level and overall personality in one month; this will be entirely my responsibility. So let's get going. You start the introduction with greetings, There are two types of greetings: formal and informal. If I have gone to a party with a friend or
2:24 there are many people present and I need to introduce myself, I can sound a little more casual by saying, This one is my favorite. Even though I made the same expression at the beginning of the video today, What's good everybody. Here, the way you say this sentence is very important; try to say it now with me in a slightly deep voice and with a very beautiful charismatic voice, right now with me. Perfect! One more time. What's good everybody! What does it mean? This is a brief positive statement about the things in life that are going well. Or you can say - what's up people?
3:12 Regardless of whether you are familiar with the crowd, all of these expressions are excellent; they are the best, have been carefully chosen, selected and will look natural. Or you could just say Hello everybody If you are going for an interview, then say - Hello sir, Hello mam. If there are a lot of people in the panel then you can say- Good morning everyone or maybe good afternoon everyone or Whatever time it is, we will decide according to it. Now there are no experiments in telling the name. Simple just say Hi everybody my name is Vidushi or I am Vidushi Kaushik or you can say This is Vidushi Kaushik. Now if you introducing yourself to a single person, then never say - This is Vidushi Kaushik. The best greeting to use when introducing yourself in front of a sizable crowd is "Hello, everyone, this is Vidushi."
4:01 In a casual setting with four or five people seated, you would introduce yourself by saying, "Hello, I'm Vidushi" or "My name is Vidushi." Now, if you're in a formal setting, state your full name. If you're in a casual setting, such as a party, just say "Vidushi." will work, I'm sure What not to say is, Hello myself is Vidushi This is because saying "myself" implies that I am mine alone. Therefore, this sentence is grammatically incorrect; we don't know where it originated in our tradition or culture, and we just started using it. Now the third point is to create a great first impression If there is a gathering or there is a gathering of the office,
4:46 then before introducing yourself, you can acknowledge that you are very happy to be a part of this event. Let's practice speaking together. You can say - What's good everybody This is Vidushi Kaushik and I am truly delighted to be a part of this event. Do not fix your eyes on just one area if there are many people seated; you have to make sure you are making stable, appropriate eye contact with everyone sitting there, Everyone assumes that he is speaking to them when he does this, so it doesn't matter how well you speak English, how outgoing you are, or what you are wearing
5:32 —what matters is whether your audience can relate to you. do they really want to hear you? and it is possible with only two things, One is the magic of your voice, that with what energy do you present yourself? and secondly, how do you maintain eye contact with all the people who are sitting there With a sweet, warm, and cheerful smile or You can say, Thank you for taking the time to meet me today. Now, if you are going to meet with a person in a position of authority or someone who is very important, you can do a little buttering by saying, "Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today." So let's try speaking once and see how it sounds to hear. So, if I have come to meet you,
6:20 Good morning sir, my name is Vidushi Kaushik and thank you very much for taking the time to make me today. And this is how you leave that long-lasting impression on others. The following slide will demonstrate how to discuss our age in English. Now this is completely optional if you don't want to reveal your age, you can certainly skip this part but in case when someone asks you and you can not ignore the question, his is how you can talk about your age in English. You can say- I am 29 years old. which is a bit boring Instead, you can say, "I'm 29, I'm 23, I'm 25, If you don't want to be specific, you can just say,
7:08 Like if you're 22 years old you would say- I'm in my early 20s. I didn't give a precise number. If you're 24 or 25 years old and you plan to give the other person a slight delusion so that he continues to guess, Instead of 25, you could say that I'm in my early 20s. And if you are 29 years old you can say - I'm in my late 20s It's kind of cool; the guy will keep telling himself that 26, 27, 28, or 29 can be any number Okay If you are under 15 years old, you will say, "I'm in my early teens, I'm in my late 20s, I'm in my late,40s So, How old are you? Would you like to reveal your age?
7:56 In the fifth section, we talk about how you'll say about your place See if you are from Delhi or any particular place then you can say- And if you want to tell that I am from Delhi, if you are introducing yourself and that person is also from Delhi then you will say- I'm from Delhi itself. If I want to say that I am from Delhi but I am living here now. If you are from another region of India but are currently living abroad or in another city, you might respond by saying, "I'm from xyz place but I'm currently living in xyz place."
8:43 Therefore, you place "in" before cities. Even before the country, you write "in." if you got married, your permanent address changed, you haven't moved for work purposes, your permanent address has changed, and you are now going to spend the rest of your life there. Now I want you to pause the video, put what you've learned together with what I've taught you thus far, and quickly write a lovely introduction in the comments section
9:32 And I'll do my best to review your introduction and respond to it along with my community. This is a good sentence as I can say if you are also from Delhi. I can say yeah I know a lot about Delhi actually I grew up there. Well, I am from Saharanpur. So I'll say I am from Saharanpur and now I'm based in Manesar. This is a bit formal and I would prefer it in job interviews. So I was born and brought up means I grew up This sentence uses the passive voice, you must have watched that video I was born, not by myself; my parents gave birth to me,
10:20 which is why this sentence uses the passive voice. and I later relocated to another location Ten or five years ago So in whatever time you have come to any other city before, then if you want to tell that time then you can tell, it's is a bit formal, I will prefer to speak it in job interviews. If you want to talk about the qualification, these are the options we have, you can say I'm in 8th standard pursuing means to read or to follow something, You can write whatever you are studying here
11:05 Now if you attend any hobby class and everyone is telling about their qualification in hobby class, If you enroll in one of our online courses and are required to introduce yourself to the class, This is a complex sentence in which you are getting a lot of information.
11:55 Now let's suppose you go to a kitty party, If you mention your qualification there, it is very irrelevant because it is a very old thing but if you want to flaunt that you still have a progressive mindset, growth mindset, you forge your learning, or keeping it continuous, so I think you will sound very interesting when you tell that I am doing this course nowadays. If you are doing meditation classes, you are doing yoga classes, then you must tell about it. People would love to know these small details about you. You'll sound a little more interesting if you do this. So what is the sentence What a beautiful word: "upskill." Upskill means you're improving your skills a little more.
12:41 So I am currently taking an online spoken English course from ocean English academy to upskill and upgrade my English communication skills and I love it Sentences should first be felt before being spoken Whatever your emotions are, related to whatever sentence should come on your face, so that your English should not sound robotic As a result, you should practice frequently. This is a cool way of saying that I have done my post-graduation. If you use this article a before your education. We will make a detailed video on articles very soon, there we learn in full detail
13:27 Please like the video if you haven't already done so while watching it; it gives me a lot of positivity if you want to discuss your job like you have met someone in a train, or in a public place And the gentleman asks you what do you do for a living? Or what do you do? You can choose from any of these sentences, for example, "I am a student" if you are one If you are employed and want to tell that your education has been completed that you have a job, say, "I am a working professional." This is vague because you don't specify where you work. If you want to provide more details,
14:15 What I am? I am a manager. When you talk about an organization, then you will not say in HDFC, you will say- at HDFC. So I am currently working at Ocean English Academy If you want to share your profile also, then I am a manager at HDFC Bank. I am a housewife. If you do not want to use this sentence, then you can say it in a very beautiful way- I am married and I have two children Now that we have avoided using the word housewife, which is very cliched and boring we have styled it up a little. which is a huge responsibility in and of itself
15:02 Next sentence you are saying Instead of saying that I work at this company, you can also say that I work for it. please use the 'in' preposition when mentioning the department's name Because "in" implies that I am a member of this specific department I am working for xyz company in xyz department. Last but not least, if you are like me and run your own business, Next slide. If you want to talk about your work experience, then my favorite sentence is the one which I have framed by using the Present Perfect Continuous Tense
15:48 You have started working with the company in past time and you are still doing you want to emphasize on duration that how many years I am associated with any company. instead of is/am/are. always use have been+ verb and ing If I say that I have been working with Ocean for 10 years I have been working with Ocean English Academy for more than 10 years now Now If you want to describe your experience in any field without mentioning the company, you can say, "I have duration," which refers to the number of years of experience you have followed by the name of the "field."
16:35 For example, if you say, "I have 10 years of experience," we say "years," not "year." If your total experience is five years, but you spent those five years working for various companies, you could still claim to have ten years of sales experience without mentioning which companies you've worked for. We can also frame this sentence in another way and that is- I have 10 years of sales experience. Now if you are planning to switch your career and your past experience does not match your current profile
17:20 but you want to tell that you have experience in this field as well I have done a lot of animation work and video editing at a very young age. I can say that I have worked in the animation industry for two years As a graphic designer, The last sentence has already been discussed. Family is the ninth. When you introduce yourself to your neighbors or during a casual gathering, f you want to tell about your family then you can use these sentences as the first sentence says- I live here with my husband. I live here with my wife I live here with my brother or my friend
18:06 If you live in a PG I am a single parent. Let's suppose someone has split up with his better half Means someone has divorced their spouse and is now raising their child alone; in this case, we will refer to that person as a single parent. That person may also be a very proud mother and it can also be a very courageous father I have a lot of love in my heart for all of you, who take care of everything themselves. I am an only child, and I don't have any siblings.
19:01 but if we take a count of them including me, then we will say- we are 3 siblings If you use the word "sibling," there may also be a brother and a sister, you have not cleared it If I want to tell you that I have two more siblings then I will say- I have two siblings Extended family means uncle aunt etc. Where are they? They live in Delhi Since the word "family" refers to a single unit, we have used lives rather than live
19:55 The most interesting hobby conversation topic. Guys I feel that this video is already running over its decided duration I thought I would teach everything clearly in 12 minutes, but I can't help but feel like I need to explain everything thoroughly. I can't change this habit. Many of you claim that the reason you talk more is to earn more money. Long videos are less popular, so their audience is smaller. I have a lot of loss in making long videos, but I do not make videos here to earn money, I make videos to share my knowledge with you So let me teach openly the way I like, because many people from the countryside and villages watch us,
20:45 and I don't want anyone to have any doubts after watching the video. Hence, I like to explain every part by the breakdown So now two slides of this video are left we will see it in the next video. Maybe I will upload it in two-three days, If you're watching this video after two or three days, here is the link to the second part, which you can view by clicking here. For now, digest this much information Prepare your introduction, if at all possible, record it, and then send it to me or post the link to Instagram I would love to check your performance How do you introduce yourself Please leave a lovely self-introduction in the comments section Call this number if you want to enroll in any other residential programs
21:31 I'll be meeting you in the second part of this video very soon Thank you very much guys for being with me till the end of the video I love you. Take care.
