CHAPTER I

PREFACE

1.1 Background

Introducing yourself is a way to express ourselves to others in

public. Thus we can get to know each other. Basically every human being
tends to develop himself to be better, more mature and more stable. But
the tendency of a person to cause his ability does not materialize just like
that, without any effort to the development of his personality, because
every human has its own ability and uniqueness.

The extent to which personality manifests is largely determined by

how much the environment pushes for the development of one’s self-
concept and how far one feels he needs to learn to be better. With self-
knowledge we can know the environment around us. As a nurse, we must
strive to introduce ourselves. Since each of us will do nursing care to the
patient, we must indroduce ourselves first.

Everyone knows that the way we speak or the way we introduce

ourselves reflects our attitude and preparedness. In the world of work we
must be able to master and know how to introduce ourselves properly and
with the right choice of words. If we introduce ourselves well in front of
others, we will get a positive impression from them.

DISCUSSION

2.1 Giving Introduction

How to intrudoce yourself

Introducing your self is much more than saying your name, it’s a
way to connect with someone new by exchanging words and often,
physical contact. Introducing yourself to strangers can be tricky because
what you say depends entirely on the context. You may introduce yourself
differently depending on wheter you are addressing an audience before
you give a speech, meeting someone at a networking event, or just starting
a conversation with a new person at a party. What is important is to
introduce yourself in a way that is appropriate and makes people like and
remember you.

Method 1

Introducing Yourself in Any Social Situation

1. Make eye contact. Eye contact shows that you're engaged in the
interaction. Eye contact is one way to connect with another human
and show that the other person has your attention. When you make
eye contact, it shows that you are open and engaged.[1]
 o If you're not comfortable looking straight into someone's
eyes, stare at the point between the eyebrows; she won't
notice the difference.
o If you’re in a group setting, make periodic eye contact with
those around you.
2. Smile. It is important to keep a genuine, bright smile when you
meet a new person. Be genuinely happy to meet someone new and
to share a positive experience and it will help create a genuine
smile. Including the upper part of your face in your smile creates a
more genuine and less fabricated smile
3. Use appropriate body language. Your body language should
communicate that you are confident and at ease. Stand with your
head high and your back straight, being careful not to slouch.
Mirror the body language of people around you. Also mirror the
pace of speech and tone of speech of those near you to built
rapport.

Method 2

Introducing Yourself to an Individual

1. Exchange names. If the introduction is formal, say "Hello, I'm

[first name][last name]." If it's informal, say "Hi, I'm [first name].
Immediately after you've stated your name, ask for the other
person's name by saying "What’s your name?" in a pleasant tone.
When you learn the other person's name, repeat it by saying "It's a
pleasure to meet you, Pedro" or "Nice to meet you, Caroline."
o Repeating the person’s name will help you remember it,
and give the introduction a more personal touch.
2. Offer a handshake or other culturally appropriate greeting.
Most cultures have a form of physical contact to accompany a
greeting. In the United States, it is often a handshake. Be sure to
keep the handshake brief and not to loose (floppy) or firm (bone-
breaking).
o Be aware of cultural differences. For instance, it is
considered rude to firmly shake hands in China.
o It is often appropriate to greet with a hug, especially if
you’re meeting a friend of a friend or an in-law. Hugs show
more openness than a handshake. Women more often than
men may prefer a hug to a handshake.
o In many cultures, it is culturally appropriate to greet with a
kiss. In South America, for instance, all women are greeted
with one kiss, and in France, women are greeted with one
kiss on each cheek. If you are unsure of the appropriate
greeting, follow the other person’s lead or watch how other
people greet around you.
3. Ask questions. It’s important to show interest in the other person.
Ask where she is from, what she does for a living, or ask about any
common bonds you may have. Ask about what she loves to do and
the passions she has in life. Show that you are engaged and
interested in what she has to say.
o You may tell a little bit of your background in order to
engage conversation and share about yourself. Telling
someone where you work or that you love rock climbing is
appropriate and may lead to more conversation topics.
o Don’t take the opportunity to talk only about yourself. You
will come across as selfish or uninteresting .
 4. Close the conversation. After you've met someone for the first
time, you should end the conversation by restating that you
enjoyed meeting. If the interaction was formal, say something like
"Mrs. Castro, I'm delighted to have met you. I hope we can talk
again soon." If your conversation was informal, you can say "It
was great meeting you, Harold. Hope to see you around."

Method 3

Introducing Yourself Before Giving a Speech

1. Greet the audience and state your name. If you're giving a

speech, it's important to state your first and last name. As you say
hello and give your name, remember to speak clearly and
confidently.
o Say, "Good morning, I’m Chelle Arnold" or "How is
everyone doing today? My name is Lisa Carroll".
2. Share some relevant information about yourself. After you
provide your name, share why you and the speech are relevant,
making sure you provide your credibility. The sort of information
you share will depend on the audience and the subject you'll be
talking about. If you're giving a speech about the importance of
eating organic foods, tell people that you're a scientist, chef, or
environmental professional. If you’re giving a speech about child
development, be sure to include that you are a child psychologist.
o Provide any other relevant information. For instance, you
can provide a brief background of your credible experience.
“My name is Erica Lafaurie and I am a professor of
environmental science at Berkeley. After I conducted my
 research in the Amazon rainforest, I realized how important
it is to share ways to protect this land.”
3. Communicate effectively. From the very start, make sure your
voice is loud enough for everyone to hear you. Avoid mumbling by
enunciating your consonants crisply. You can even ask the
audience if you are speaking loudly enough for all to hear. People
will not be able to understand you or respect what you are sharing
if they cannot hear you.
4. Move your body. Stand with good posture, and move freely while
you speak. Stand up tall, move your shoulders back instead of
slouching, and keep your hands free, using them to gesture when
necessary. If you don't have to stand behind a podium, then walk
around to show the crowd how comfortable you are and to make
yourself look less stiff.

Method 4

Introducing Yourself at a Professional Event

1. Say your full name. Make sure you provide your full name so that
the person can remember your name. You can say, "Hi, my name
is Mark Salazar," or "Hello, I'm Angela Grace," and they'll be
more likely to remember you.
2. Say your full name, Give a one-sentence description of what
you do. If you're at a networking event, then it's likely that you'll
be talking about what you do to a variety of people. So, what do
you say when a new connection asks, "What is it that you do?" Do
you launch into a ten-minute story about your career path? Do you
reel off a list of your accomplishments in your field? Absolutely
 not. Unless you're having a more lengthy conversation, you should
be prepared to give a one-sentence description of what you do that
gives the following information:[5]
o Who are you, professionally? Are you a teacher, a project
manager, or a health care professional?
o Who do you work with? Do you work with children, cross-
cultural project teams, or micro-finance organizations?
o What do you do? Do you help second-grade children
develop their writing skills, do you help cross-cultural
teams meet complete their goals while keeping their
budgets, or do you help microfinance organizations expand
their market base in developing countries?
o Now, put your sentence together. State who you are, who
you work with, and what you do.
3. Say your full name, Give a one-sentence description of what
you do, Respect people’s space. If you have items, don’t place
them on recruiter’s or presenter’s tables. Respect their space and
don’t overwhelm them. You can also disrupt their materials, such
as knocking over a poster or messing up pamphlets. Wait to be
asked to exchange business cards, resumes, etc.
4. Say your full name, Give a one-sentence description of what
you do, Respect people’s space , Follow up with a question. If
the person has asked you what you do first, don't just walk away
and praise yourself for a job well done. Instead, ask the person
what he or she does in return. This is not only polite, but shows
that you have a real interest in this person's career path and want to
build a meaningful connection.
 5. Say your full name, Give a one-sentence description of what
you do, Respect people’s space , Follow up with a question, Say
goodbye like a professional. Don't just wave and say, "Nice
meeting you" and walk away from the person. Anyone you meet at
a networking event can have the potential to help you in the future,
so make sure that you make eye contact, repeat the person's name,
and exchange business cards or any other pieces of relevant
information before you walk away.

2.2 Grammar focus

Noun and adjective

The book critic R. Z Sheppard once remarked that adjectives “are the
potbelly of poetry”. Many English language teachers would not take such
a disparaging view. Adjectives are often quite fun to teach and the rules
surrounding them are, usually, quite straightforward. We start by looking
at adjectives in relation to the wider phrasal structures they occur in,
examining issues of position, complementation, and ordering.

When we want to give more information than can be provided by using a

noun alone, we can add an adjective to identify a person or thing, or
describe them in more detail.

Example :

 her new dress

 a kind person
 the phonetic alphabet
  accuracy is important

Note that sometimes nouns can be placed before other nouns as a way of
identifying a particular type of person or thing, e.g.

Example :

 a chocolate cake
 the football player

Nouns used in this way are usually referred to as noun modifiers. Though
they are functioning in a similar way to some adjectives, we classify them
as nouns. Examples like this are often referred to as compound nouns,
with the first noun identifying a particular type in relation to the group of
people or things described by the second noun.

Position of adjectives

Most adjectives can appear before a noun as part of a noun phrase, placed
after determiners or numbers if there are any, and immediately before the
noun, e.g.

Example :

 She had a beautiful smile.

 He bought two brown bread rolls.

Adjectives placed before a noun in this way are generally referred to as

occurring in the attributive position.
Most adjectives can also occur as complements of the verb be and other
link verbs such as become, feel or seem, e.g.

Example :

 Her smile is beautiful.

 She didn’t seem happy.

Adjectives placed after the verb in this way are generally referred to as
occurring in the predicative position.

When the information contained in an adjective is not the main focus of a

statement, then the adjective is usually placed before the noun in the
attributive position.

However, when the main focus of a statement is to give the information

contained in an adjective, the adjective is usually placed after the verb in
the predicative position, compare:

He handed me a bucket of hot water. (attributive position)

I put my hand in the bucket, the water was very hot. (Predicative position,
emphasising hot.)

Though most adjectives can be used in both the attributive and predicative
positions, there are a number of adjectives that can occur in one particular
position only, as described below.

Position: attributive only

There are some adjectives which can only be used before a noun, in the
attributive position. For instance, we talk about the main problem but
cannot say, the problem was main.

Adjectives which occur only in the attributive position are generally those
which identify something as being of a particular type. For instance, we
can talk about a financial decision where financial distinguishes this from
other types of decision, e.g. medical, political. This group of adjectives are
often referred to as classifying adjectives, and rarely occur in the
predicative position unless we specifically want to emphasise a contrast,
e.g.

Example :

 a chemical reaction not, *a reaction which was/is chemical

 the phonetic alphabet not, * the alphabet is phonetic
 It was an indoor pool. not, *the pool was indoor.
 Other adjectives which generally appear in the attributive position
are those which are used for emphasis, e.g.
 The show was absolute/utter rubbish.
 You made me look a complete fool.
 The project was a total disaster.

Position: predicative only

There are some adjectives which usually occur in the predicative position,
as complements of be or other link verbs. For instance, you can say He felt
glad but wouldn’t normally talk about a glad person.
Adjectives which usually occur in the predicative position include those
which describe feelings, such as afraid, content, glad, ready, sure, sorry
and upset, e.g.

Example :

 She felt afraid. but not, *an afraid girl .

 My daughter is upset but not, *my upset daughter.
 They also include a group of adjectives with prefix a-, such as
asleep, alive, alone, ashamed, awake, aware, e.g.
 I like being alone. but not, * I like being an alone person.
 The baby’s asleep. but not, *the asleep baby.

Position: immediately after noun

Some adjectives that describe size or age can occur immediately after a
noun that indicates a unit of measurement, e.g.

Example :

 She was about five feet tall.

 Her baby is ten months old.
 The walls were six inches thick.

There is a small group of adjectives, sometimes referred to as post

nominal adjectives, which can only occur immediately after a noun.
Examples are:

 the president elect

  the devil incarnate

Many other adjectives can be used immediately after a noun when they
form part of a (reduced) relative clause, e.g.

 Let’s use the time available.

 Is he someone capable of making difficult decisions?
 I’d like to speak to all the people involved.

Position and meaning

There are some adjectives which can occur either before or after a noun,
but the position they occur in has an effect on their meaning, e.g.

 the concerned parents (= the parents who are worried)

 the parents concerned (= the parents who are involved/mentioned)
 the present situation (= the situation which exists now)
 the people present (= the people who are here/there).
 a responsible person (= a person who is sensible/reliable)
 the person responsible (= the person who is to blame or has
responsibility for something)

Adjective complementation

When adjectives occur in the predicative position, after be or other link

verbs, they are sometimes followed by a prepositional phrase or verbal
complement. Some typical examples are summarised in the table below:

Pattern typical adjectives example

Adjective + of aware, proud, capable She was proud of her son.

kind, sensitive, similar,

Adjective + to Her house is similar to mine.
equal

Adjective + with angry, impatient, honest I felt angry with him.

He’s totally dependent on his

Adjective + on keen, gentle, dependent
parents.

We’re not interested in

Adjective + in interested, disappointed
selling our house.

She was anxious about the

Adjective + about pleased, glad, anxious
results.

Adjective + to-
difficult, easy, ready The book was easy to read.
infinitive

Adjective + that- I’m confident that she’ll

worried, confident, sure
clause succeed.

Adjective + wh- He was uncertain what to do

unsure, uncertain
clause next.

They’re busy painting the

Adjective + -ing busy, silly, awkward
kitchen.

Order of adjectives

Adjectives describing the main characteristics of a person or thing are

often grouped together before the noun they describe, e.g.

 a beautiful young woman

  a large round table

Two or three descriptive adjectives are often used together in this way,
though note that placing more than three adjectives before a noun would
start to sound unnatural, e.g.

 a beautiful wooden table

 Sounds fine, but a structure like:
 a beautiful large round carved wooden table

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
opinion size age Shape colour origin material
lovely big old triangular white Italian wooden

though grammatical, would not normally occur in everyday speech or

writing. Descriptive adjectives used in this way belong to seven main
types. This table summarises the types and the usual order in which they
appear if more than one adjective is placed before a noun.

For example, if you wanted to use an adjective referring to size and an

adjective referring to shape, you would put the size adjective first, e.g.

 a large round table

Similarly, an age adjective would normally be placed before an origin

adjective, e.g.

 a young Italian woman

An opinion adjective would occur before a shape or colour adjective, and
a shape or colour adjective would occur before a material adjective, e.g.

 a beautiful green silk dress

If two colour adjectives are used, then and is placed between them, e.g.

 She was wearing a long black and gold scarf.

If three colour adjectives occur, a comma is placed after the first and the
last two are linked with and, e.g.

 The table was covered by a large red, white and blue flag.

As a general rule, the adjective which is closest to the noun is the most
closely linked to the meaning of the noun, describing a feature which is
the most permanent about it, compared to adjectives which express a
variable characteristic, such as an opinion. For instance, if we consider:

 an expensive/cheap/beautiful black leather bag

... the ‘leather-ness’ of the bag is a more essential characteristic than cost
orappearance.

If more than one adjective occurs which expresses an opinion or describes

a general quality, then the adjective with a more general meaning, e.g.
nice, bad usually precedes the one with a more specific meaning, e.g.
comfortable, clean, for example:

 a lovely soft blanket

If two adjectives with similar meanings are used, the shorter one often
comes first, e.g.

 a soft comfortable pillow

The conjunction but is sometimes placed between two adjectives which

describe contrasting qualities, e.g.

 a difficult but rewarding job

The order of adjectives in predicative position, i.e. after the verb be or link
verbs such as seem or feel, is less fixed than the order before a noun. The
conjunction and is generally used to link adjectives in this position,
occurring before the last adjective used, e.g.

 The room was small and dirty.

 He felt cold, wet and hungry.
 Adjectives expressing opinion are often placed last, e.g.
 Annabel was young, tall and beautiful.

If we want to imply a contrast between adjectives, the conjunction but is

sometimes used, e.g.

 The flat was small but comfortable.

words and often, physical contact. There are four method for introducing
your self. First method is introducing yourself in any social situation with
make eye contact, smile, and use appropriate body language. Second
method is introducing yourself to an individual such as exchange names,

description of what you do, respect people’s space, follow up with a
question, say goodbye like a professional.
Adjectives are often quite fun to teach and the rules surrounding
them are, usually, quite straightforward. We start by looking at adjectives
in relation to the wider phrasal structures they occur in, examining issues
of position, complementation, and ordering.
