Introducing yourself and your company
CEFR: A2
Read/Listen first
In a quiet meeting room, two colleagues meet for the first time. One says, “Hello, I’m Priya Shah.” She offers a handshake and adds, “I’m from the design team.” The other replies, “Nice to meet you. I’m Leo, from customer support.” They exchange cards and check the agenda for the morning. Priya asks, “Are you the person leading the demo?” Leo answers, “Yes, I am.” He smiles and says, “If you need anything, please let me know.” They sit down, confirm the time for the demo, and briefly review the key points together. Priya says, “Great. Welcome to our office.” Leo replies, “Thanks. I’m happy to be here today.” To start on time, they test the projector, check the network, and share the slides. Before the guests arrive, they practice the first two minutes. Their clear introductions make the meeting friendly, focused, and easy to begin.⚡ Learning goals
