When you start a new job, it’s important to be able to start a conversation by introducing yourself:
Hello, my name’s Mostafa
Sometimes you may need to introduce someone else to other people:
Can I introduce you to our new trainee?
Sometimes you have to get somebody’s attention or interrupt them, and you should do this in a way that’s not rude:
do you have a minute?
it’s just as important to be able to excuse yourself and end a conversation politely, for example:
It’s been nice talking to you
MEERA: Excuse me, are you Sally?
SALLY: Yes. Can I help you?
JULIA: It’s been nice talking to you, Meera.
MEERA: You too, Ms Khan.
Hello, welcome to Barton & Craig!
Thanks, it’s very exciting to be here.
Pleased to meet you.
Good to meet you too.
Why don’t I introduce you to some members of the team?
That’d be great!
