7 . You would want to make a good impression when you introduce yourself on the first day in class at your school, wouldn’t you? In this post, it will cover what to include in your introduction.
The start.
You can start with the obvious (明显的) information — your name.
The city you come from. You may add a sentence or two about the city as well if there is something interesting to talk about. Maybe the city is known for its historic monuments (历史遗迹).
What are your interests and hobbies?
Playing a sport? Traveling? Reading? Kite flying? Or something unusual, such as toy collecting?
Where can you help others?
Remember that all of you may need help in areas where others are stronger. Therefore, if you have a strength (长处) others in your class can benefit (受益) from, feel free to share it. For example, if you’re good at dancing, you can teach anyone who’s interested. If people know your strengths, they’ll readily turn to you when they need help.
| A．Where are you from? |
| B．But that’s a common start. |
| C．Where did you last attend the school? |
| D．Maybe it’s famous for its natural beauty. |
| E．This is an easy way to make friends in high school. |
| F．Describe small facts if you’ve followed the hobby with serious interest. |
| G．The organizer may ask to include your family and the place you come from in the introduction. |
There was a boy who was sent to a boarding school. He used to be the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. But things changed after that. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. He felt worthless and that no one loved him.
His parents began to worry. But even they did not know what was wrong. So his dad decided to visit the school and talk with him.
They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. Then he asked, “Do you know, son, why I am here today?” The boy said, “To check my grades?”
“No, no, ” his dad replied. “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”
Now the boy had everything he wanted.

My aunt Nancy is a truck driver. When she left school, she didn't know what she wanted to do, so she went to work in a supermarket. One day, she was talking to one of the truck drivers at the supermarket, and she got the idea to drive a truck herself. She went home and told her parents (my grandparents！), and they thought it was a good idea.
Nancy’s journeys are different every day, and she goes to every part of the country. She enjoys the driving, but she says that one day, she would like to get a job with a different company(公司) so that she can drive to more places.
Nancy says she likes being out on the road, seeing new towns all the time, but the best thing about driving trucks for her is talking to everyone she sees during her working day. She also says the trucks are comfortable, so she doesn't mind sleeping in them. For her, they are her home on wheels!
I asked my grandparents what they thought about Nancy’s job. They are happy that Nancy is happy, so they don't want her to change jobs. But they worry about her because it’s sometimes a dangerous job and she spends a lot of time away from home.
