Giving
personal information
Giving personal information is a common topic covered in A1 level English language lessons. In these lessons, students will learn how to introduce themselves and ask basic personal information from others. This can include information such as name, age, nationality, occupation, address, phone number, etc. Students will learn vocabulary and grammar related to asking and answering questions about personal information. They will practice asking and answering questions in various situations, such as meeting new people, making introductions, and forming simple connections.
Example of giving personal information in English:
Person 1: Hi, my name is John. What's your name?
Person 2: Hi John, my name is Sarah. Nice to meet you.
Person 1: Nice to meet you too, Sarah. Where are you from?
Person 2: I'm from Canada. How about you?
Person 1: I'm from the United States. What do you do for a living?
Person 2: I'm a teacher. How about you?
Person 1: I work in finance.
Person 1: That's interesting. How long have you been a teacher?
Person 2: I've been teaching for 5 years now. It's a great job.
Person 1: I can imagine. I've been in finance for about 8 years. It can be challenging, but I enjoy it.
Person 2: Yeah, I think finding a job that you enjoy is important. What do you like most about finance?
Person 1: I really enjoy analyzing market trends and making investment decisions. It's always interesting to see how the market changes.
Person 2: That does sound interesting. Well, it was nice chatting with you, John.
Person 1: Nice chatting with you too, Sarah. Have a great day!
Person 2: You too! Bye.
In this example, Person 1 and Person 2 introduce themselves and exchange basic personal information. They ask and answer questions about each other's names, where they are from, and what they do for a living. This exchange demonstrates the use of vocabulary and grammar related to asking and answering questions about personal information, which is an important aspect of building connections and forming relationships in English.
