Part 1   Self Introduction 自我介绍
Dialogue Script 对话原文 Jean: Hi, my name is Jean Wilson. Andy: Hi, I'm Andrew Mclane. Everybody calls me Andy. Jean: Hello, Andy. I'm glad to meet you. You are in my class, aren't you? Andy: Yes. My father knows your father. Jean: Really? We've only been here for a short time. I don't know many people yet. Andy: It's hard to meet people in a new place. Would you like to come to the café with me? Everybody goes there after school. They've ice cream and things to drink. You can meet some of the other people in our class. Jean: I'd like to, Andy, but I've got to mail these letters. Maybe later. Andy: Let's all right. Bye! Jean: Bye-bye!
讲解:     恰当的自我介绍对自己很重要，会给别人留下良好的第一印象。做介绍时一定要面带微笑。刚开始的时候通常是连名带姓将自己的全名(full name)直接说出。     当然，如果在不是非常正式的场合，如在朋友家里聚会的时候，气氛比较轻松，则可以只报出自己的名字(given name或 first name)。比如说：I'm Tony. My name is Monica.     有时为了向别人表示更友善、亲切，还可以告诉对方自己的小名，昵称等等。如对话中，Andrew Mclane就说everybody calls me Andy.每个人都叫我Andy，言外之意就是你也可以叫他Andy。还可以直接说Just call me Andy.就叫我Andy好了。     英美国家的人往往喜欢用名字的简略形式，比如说对话中的Andy就是Andrew的简略形式，还有把Jennifer叫做 Jenny，把 Christopher 叫做Chris， Edward叫做 Ed；有的名字的简略形式用的是这个名字的其他部分，比如 Anthony 就叫Tony 。另外一些简略形式却和原来的名字字面上看一点关系都没有。比如说美国前总统，大家都知道是Bill Clinton。其实Bill是他的小名，William才是他的大名。类似的还有Jack是John 这个名字的小名。如果你不知道某些名字的小名没有关系，最安全的办法就是先观察别人是怎么用的，你再跟着用。     另外，在工作场合，人们在做自我介绍时经常会在自己的姓之前加上自己的职称，头衔等等。比如说：医生在诊所里会见病人时，会这样打招呼，Hi，I'm Doctor Smith.我是史密斯医生。课堂里教授会说I'm Professor Brown. 我是布朗教授。但是千万不要说I'm Teacher Brown. 我是布朗老师, 这是中国人普遍犯的错误. 因为teacher是一种职业而不是一种称谓。 正确的说法是I'm Mr. Brown或者是 I'm Ms. /Mrs. Brown. 军人则会说 I'm Major White.我是怀特少校。     当然，英美人和中国人也有相同的地方，就是见面时要互相握手。握手的时候要有力但是别把对方握痛了，同时要看着对方的眼睛。大约持续三秒，只晃两三下，注意不要一直握着对方的手不放，这样很讨人厌。
自我介绍的一些常用基本表达方式：

比较正式的用法： May I introduce myself? I'm David Marks.或者是My name is David Marks. Let me introduce myself. My name is David Parker. It's nice to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself. May I have your name? May I ask your name?
非正式的用法： Hello, I'm Henry Jackson. How do you do? I don't think we've met before. My name is Jack Lindon. I'm from England. 回答： Nice to meet you. /It's a pleasure to meet you./Glad to meet you.等等。

Part 2   Introducing Other People 给别人做介绍
Dialogue Script 1
对话原文 1 Frank: Mr. Smith, I'd like you to meet my friend Lisa Peterson. Smith: How do you do? Lisa: How do you do? Smith: How do you find things over here? Lisa: If it wasn't for the climate, I'd like it very much. Smith: It won't take you too long to settle here.
讲解:     在这段对话中，Lisa Peterson被介绍给了Mr.Smith，他们两个互道寒暄之后，又聊了一些题外话，介绍别人时的模式大体就是这样的。     注意介绍人要给被介绍人充分的时间去交流。

Dialogue Script 2
对话原文 2 Peter: May I introduce my new associate, Sarah Jackson? She represents the Dragon River Wear Company in China. This is Jay Mayor, a buyer for Bloomingdale's. Sarah: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Mayor. Mayor: Pleasure's mine. How is it going in China? Do you like it there?  Sarah: Quite good. The climate is pleasing and the food is great.
讲解:     这段对话发生的背景显然是一个商业酒会，说法都比较正式。介绍人把双方都介绍了一下，包括他们的职业。但是注意不要说的太多，因为第一次见面大都不会谈的太深入。
给别人作介绍的常用基本表达方式：

比较正式的表达方式： I'd like you to meet Mr. Smith. I'd like to introduce Mrs. Linda Simpson. May I introduce Mr. David Parker? Allow me to introduce my friend Peter Brown. Peter, this is Mr. Howard Smith. Allow me to introduce you to my manager. Mr. Smith, let me introduce Mr. John Peterson.
比较随意的表达方式: Meet my friend Peter Brown. Mr. Smith, this is Mr. Brown. Jack, this is Miranda. Miranda, this is Jack.
回答就与做自我介绍时差不多，双方要互相问候。     另外，在做具体介绍的时候，应该平举右手掌示意，而且眼神、手势要投向被介绍者，不要用手指，这样会显得不尊敬。

Part 3 Finding Topics for Free Talks 寻找闲谈话题 Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1 Peter: Excuse me, is anybody sitting here? Anne: No...no, here, let me move my purse from the chair. Peter: Oh, thank you. Say, haven't I seen you with Jack Davidson? Anne: I work with Jack Davidson. How do you know Jack? Peter: Jack and I went to the same college. What sort of work do you do? Anne: I work on commercial accounts at the trust company with Jack. Um...what do you do? Peter: I'm a telephone installer. I just happen to be working on this street the last couple of days. I should introduce myself, my name is Peter Spencer. Anne: Well, nice to meet you! I'm Anne Kennedy. Peter: Glad to know you. Do you live around here? Anne: Yeah, I live in the neighborhood-it's really convenient for work. Peter: Oh, it sounds like it. ... By the way, are you doing anything tonight? Anne: Uh, sorry, I'm afraid I'm busy tonight. Peter: Well, how about tomorrow? Maybe we could go to a movie. Anne: That sounds like a great idea. Um...do you like comedies? Peter: Yeah, I like comedies, let's see, what could we see? How about "Someone like it hot"? I think that's playing over at... Anne: Ah... Peter: ...on Main Street here. Anne: That's a great idea. Peter: Well, I guess we should meet about eight o'clock then, because I think the movie starts about eight-thirty. Where would be a good place to meet? Anne: There's a clock tower near the movie theater. We could meet there at about eight. Peter: OK, that sounds good. see you tomorrow, then. Anne: I'll see you then, bye-bye! Peter: Bye! 讲解:     在双方做自我介绍时，如果对方在说名字时附加了其他信息，你就可以把这些信息作为接下来谈话的话题，比如有人说他去参加过滑雪比赛，或者他的家乡你也去过等等，凡是你觉得能有发挥空间的话题，都可以和对方聊。如果实在找不到的话，你可以试探着问对方问题，即使得不到肯定回答，一般情况下对方也会告诉你他的他对这个问题的意见和想法，这样不就可以展开话题了嘛。 寻找闲聊话题时常用的一些表达： Nice day, isn't it? Horrible weather we're having. Excuse me, is anybody sitting here? Say, have we met somewhere before? Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing-did you mention something about Michael Jordon? Excuse me, have you got a light? Uh, I'm looking for a present for my wife, could you help me?     大家可能发现了，几乎我们身边所有的事物都可以那过来打开话题,就是break the ice，只要大家仔细观察，眼观六路，耳听八方，就不愁找不到话题。 　　 Dialogue Script 2 对话原文 2 Wayne: What's the weather like in your country? Anna: It's very humid. It rains nine months of the year. Wayne: My country is arid. We have very little rain. But when it rains, we have terrible thunderstorms and sometimes hurricanes. Anna: The temperature at home is mild most of the time, except in winter, when for a few months it becomes severely cold. Wayne: Oh, it's hot during the day in my country and just a little cooler at night all year long. Anna: Well, I guess you never have snow storms, then. Wayne: Yes, you're right. We have dust storms in the early spring and late fall. It never gets enough cold to snow, though. Anna: Last year, we had a blizzard. It snowed for five days. That is the worst snowstorm in our history. Wayne: I read it in the newspaper. It said that the snow turned to hail and later this turned to sleet. Anna: Yes, the hailstones were large enough to break glass. Wayne: I'm glad I live in a milder climate, where we have showers and rain instead of snow and sleet. Anna: But, still you have dust storms and hurricanes! Wayne: Oh, well. Every part of the world has weather problems, I guess.
