SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 Sharing personal information is a fundamental aspect of communication, especially when meeting new people or completing forms. At the A1 and A2 levels, students learn to express basic details about themselves, such as their name, age, address, phone number, and email. This skill is practical in both formal and informal contexts, such as introducing oneself, registering for services, or making new friends.

In this topic, learners will explore how to use simple sentences, ask and answer questions, and use the correct vocabulary related to personal details. Understanding how to share personal information also builds confidence in real-life situations like filling out documents or participating in conversations with new acquaintances.

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to introduce themselves effectively, ask others for personal details politely, and provide essential information in a clear and structured way.
