You can find out a little bit about me here :-)

Let's use this site and its links for study in and out of class.







VU22601 - Introductions, Casual Conversations and Invitations

Let's review introductions (and spelling names)

Watch these people introducing themselves ...



You can do some simple exercises about the video here. (from Real English - Lesson 6)

When you meet someone for the first time what questions are OK to ask?
What things are OK to talk about? Which things are not OK to talk about?

Exercise 1

Decide if these questions and comments are POLITE (OK) ✓or IMPOLITE ✘(not OK) when you talk to someone for the first time ...

• What do you do for a living?
• Why don't you have any children?
• Tell me a little about yourself
• Whereabouts do you live?
• What's your street and house number?
• How old are you?
• Have you visited any other countries?
• Do you play or follow any sports?
• You're really good looking, you know.
