101.com imagine you're on a plane say
someone next to you what do you say hi
Alicia here introducing yourself in
English is easy in this lesson you're
going to learn how with Gustavo and
Henry who meet on a plane the Salvos
moving to New York
his family is going to join him later in
the month Henry is in the seat when
Gustavo gets on a plane let's watch
excuse me sorry about that
hi how do you do I'm Gustavo
nice to meet you Gustavo I'm Henry
Eddins I'm sorry can you say that again
please a bit slowly Henry Eddins Henry
Eddins that's it but please call me Hank
Hank nice to meet you
now the lesson focus here's how to
introduce yourself ready
do you remember how Gustavo introduced
himself hi how do you do I'm Gustavo
when Gustavo introduced himself he
started with hi and then used a set
phrase how do you do how do you do this
is a polite expression people often use
with an introduction it sounds like a
question but it has no particular
meaning and there's no expectation the
other person will try to answer it next
he says I'm Gustavo the first part of
this sentence is a contraction of two
words I and am the am here functions
like an equal sign in math I'm I'm the
next word in the sentence is a named
Gustavo together it's I'm Gustavo the
structure of the pattern is hi how do
you do I'm plus your name now you try
imagine your name is John say hi how do
you do I'm John
hi how do you do I'm John now imagine
your name is Aiko
say hi how do you do I'm Aiko
hi how do you do I'm Aiko now use your
name
okay there are two additional things you
need to know first there's a shortcut
for giving your name just drop the I'm
from the final sentence of the self
introduction for example if Gustavo just
said hi how do you do
Gustavo Henry would have understood it
was his name
this would be especially clear if
Gustavo extended his hand for a
handshake while saying this in very
casual situations you can even drop the
hi and how do you do all that is left
would be your name the second thing you
need to know is you can use I'm with
just the first name or your first name
and the last name together
I'm Henry Eddins Eddins is Henry's
family name using both your first name
and your last name is a little more
formal it also gives you less privacy
for example if people know both your
first and last name they can find you on
the internet more easily so it may be
more common for strange to say just
their first name than people meeting in
a more friendly environment next you'll
learn how to tell people to call you by
a nickname just like Henry did in the
scene but please call me Hank but please
call me Hank
the first word in the sentence is but
this word is not necessary but it makes
the transition to the rest of the
sentence smoother Henry uses this to
introduce a new piece of information and
this information changes something about
what he said before but makes this clear
the next word introduces a polite
request please PLEASE next is a request
to use a certain name call call
this is the word me me last is a common
nickname for men named Henry Hank Hank
please call me Hank the sentence
structure is please call me plus your
nickname now you try
imagine your nickname is Matt say please
call me Matt
please call me Matt now imagine your
nickname is Lulu
say please call me Lulu
please call me Lulu now use your own
nickname say please call me and then use
your nickname
finally when you meet someone for the
first
it's polite to say a set phrase at the
end nice to meet you nice to meet you
usually both people will say this or
something similar to it now you try
nice to meet you imagine you're on a
plane your seatmate wants to know where
you're from what do you say hi Alicia
here there's no need to worry in this
lesson you'll learn how easy it is to
tell somebody where you're from Gustavo

conversation as their plane lands in New
York City let's watch excuse me but is
that the Statue of Liberty yes that's
right so are you from New York yes I am
and you where are you from I'm from
Brazil really so are you from Rio no I'm
not I'm from Sao Paulo
Oh Sal Paulo
now the lesson focus here is how to talk
about where you're from ready
do you remember how Gustavo explained
where he was from
I'm from Sao Paulo first is a
contraction meaning I am I'm next is the
word from and last is a place named Sao
Paulo
together it's I'm from Sao Paulo
the structure is I'm from plus the place
name you can use it with cities
countries or even with regions imagine
your hometown is Shanghai what would you
say
I'm from Shanghai now imagine you're
from Egypt what would you say
I'm from Egypt do you remember how Anna
asked Gustavo if he was from Rio de
Janeiro are you from Rio first is the
second person singular form of the verb
to be our next is the word you
sir this is the word from and last is a
city named Rio together it's are you
from Rio
the structure is are you from plus a
place named it's similar to the above
expression I'm from Sao Paulo
except that the verb to be which has
been contracted with the word I to make
I'm has been moved to the beginning of
the sentence and put in the second
person along with the subject are you
from Rio now imagine you meet someone on
the plane ask him or her if he or she is
from Los Angeles
are you from Los Angeles now imagine you
meet someone with an Australian accent
ask him or her if he or she is from
Australia
are you from Australia now if you have
no idea where someone's from you can ask
where are you from in this case the
place name has been removed and the
sentence starts with where it's also
said with a different intonation
together it's where are you from imagine
you meet someone new but have no idea
where they're from ask them where
they're from
where are you from imagine you've just
landed after a long flight to America

here on business okay thank you
welcome to the United States
now the lesson focus here's what you say
to navigate passport control ready
do you remember the first question the
immigration officer asked after Gustavo
gave him his passport
how long will you be saying immigration
officers asked this question to find out
about the length of a visitor's stay
they want to know if a visitor plans to
stay for two weeks for example or one
month first is the phrase how long next
is the word will after this is the word
you and last is the phrase be staying
Gustavo responds with a length of time
for six weeks first is the word for next
is the number six and last is the word
weeks together it's for six weeks the
sentence structure to answer the
question how long will you be staying is
four plus number of days or weeks
imagine you're going to stay for two
weeks answer the question how long will
you be staying
for two weeks do you remember the second
question the immigration officer asked
Gustavo in the scene
and where will you be saying this
question is identical to the first
question except instead of saying how
long the immigration officer asked where
the immigration officer is asking to
find out which hotel or address a
visitor will be staying at again it's
where will you be staying in response
Gustavo gives the name of his hotel
at the Four Seasons Hotel
first is the word at and after this is
the name of the hotel the Four Seasons
Hotel together it's at the Four Seasons
Hotel the sentence structure to answer
the question where will you be staying

answer the question where will you be
staying
at the Plaza Hotel do you remember the
third question the immigration officer
asked in the scene what's the purpose of

this is the word purpose next is the
word of following this is the word your

together its what's the purpose of your
visit in response
Gustavo answers I'm here on business
this starts with the core phrase I'm
here on following this core phrase is
the word business altogether it's I'm
here on business
this means that Gustavo is in the
country to do business and not just to
sightsee alternatively he could have
said I'm here for pleasure this is the
same pattern as the first response the
only difference is that on business has
been taken out and for pleasure is used
instead again that's I'm here for
pleasure now you try
imagine your trip is for sightseeing

of your visit
