4 . Making an introduction is an important social and professional skill.     1     Whether you are introducing two or more people to each other, introducing a new idea at a meeting or need to introduce yourself to others, preparing and practicing different introductions can make you feel more confident when it is time for you to do one. In this article, we discuss how to prepare and deliver a great introduction with tips and examples.

•     2    

The polite way to begin an introduction is to start with the name of the person you are making the introduction to. In most situations, this is the person who is older, or that you have known the longest. You can skip this step if you are introducing yourself to someone you are meeting for the first time and you don’t know the other individual’s name.

• Inform them of your intention.

The next statement you make should inform both parties of your intent to introduce them to each other. Here are a few examples of statements you can use to inform others you are making an introduction: “I would like you to meet...” “It’s a pleasure to introduce...”     3    

• State the name of the person who is being introduced.

After informing the parties of your intention to make an introduction, state the name of the person you are introducing.     4     If you are introducing more than two people to each other, state the name of each person in ranking order beginning with the highest rank and working your way down.

• Offer additional information, as appropriate.

    5     You can use details such as common interests both parties share, your relation to each party or how long you have known each person for.

A．This kind of statements may change based on the individuals you introduce.

B．Often, this is usually the younger person or who you know the least about.

C．Everyone can benefit from learning the proper way to do an introduction.

8 . Social boundaries are established social rules that are considered typical because most people in society agree that they are reasonable ways to live. For instance, in Amerca, it is rude to belch (打嗝) in front of others.     1    However, in other countries, it is a sign that a person has greatly enjoyed himself. In fact, it is a praise to the chef. In these societies, it is acceptable as a definite sign of gratitude and satisfaction.

    2    We tend to categorize people even within the first few seconds of meeting them. Social boundaries make it easier to determine what is similar and different about us in comparison to others that we meet. In some countries, it is rude to look ab people directly in the eyes while speaking with them.     3     If we’re able to understand that others social boundaries may be different in some ways, we can learn to understand other cultures and display appreciation for those differences.

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone you recently met and thought, ”This person is standing way too close to me”? In this case, it may feel more like a strange behavior than a matter of social boundary. In some societies, however, it is quite common to stand very close to another individual while having a conversation.     4    

Social boundaries can influence various aspects of a person’s behavior, from what one wears when attending a religious service, to how loudly or softly a person speaks in public.     5     Openly sharing emotions is either strongly discouraged or welcomed in different cultures.

A．However, in other countries, it is rude not to do so.

B．Social boundaries allow people to assess others quickly.

C．They may even direct how much people share about their feelings.

D．Therefore, it’s important for Americans to avoid belching around others.

E．Social boundaries usually give rise to some misunderstandings between us.

F．In fact, there is an unspoken expected distance while people are interacting.

G．In other societies, however, it is impolite to have direct eye contact with them.

Medieval (中世纪的) manners

While I was growing up, “keep your elbows (肘) off the table” was a common remark at dinner time. But, as I learned in our recent podcast episode with medieval historian and author Cybulskie, such remarks have a long history —     1     (date) all the way back to the Middle Ages.

In the medieval period, manners proved more important than today and     2     (prize) particularly by social climbers, because a firm grasp of manners was a way of standing out from the crowd: “It showed you were worldly and educated, and ready to hang out with the most important people of the day.”

But what would have ingratiated (讨好) you with a medieval host, and what kinds of social faux pas (失礼) would have ensured     3     you were never invited back? Practising good hygiene was key, particularly when it came to the dinner table. In this era, dining was a much     4     (intimate) experience, according to Cybulskie, than it is today. When sharing a meal with a dining partner, you would also be sharing cups and plates.

“Don’t blow your nose at the table, or wipe your face on the tablecloth,” Cybulskie advised. As well as listing some behaviour     5     (avoid), Cybulskie shared tips on how to be an attentive dining partner. “You would want to give the best portions of food to your partner at the table,” she said, “and make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of.”

Such social codes were set out in handbooks at the time, one of     6    , The Book of the Civilised Man, written in the early 14th century, was aimed at boys and young men — and, with advice     7     (tailor) to this audience, warned its young readers against “making bodily function jokes at the table”.

Social conventions extended     8     the dining hall. When visiting someone’s house, for instance, it was considered fashionable to wash your hands on arrival,     9     that you didn’t bring dirt inside. Though this is one custom that is in line with us in the 21st century, others feel decidedly medieval: one book asks readers “to make sure you     10     (get) down from your horse before entering someone’s house”.
