"Meeting New People"
Meeting new people is a common part of everyday life, whether at work, school, or social events. The first step in making a new friend is introducing yourself. A simple greeting like "Hi! My name's Anna" can start a conversation. People often share where they are from, what they do, and their hobbies to get to know each other better.
For example, when meeting someone for the first time, you might say, "Hi! My name's John. I'm from New York, and I work as a doctor." This information helps others understand who you are and what you do. Asking questions is also a great way to show interest and learn more about the other person. Questions like "What's your name?" and "Where are you from?" are easy ways to start.
Remember, introducing yourself with a smile and a friendly attitude makes a great first impression. So next time you meet someone new, don't be shy! Just say, "Hi! My name's [your name]."
