What's your name?
22
Bonjour, Alec.
23
I'm Ivy.
24
Nice to meet you too.
25
Is bourgeois a French word?

27
Oh, that's interesting.
28
So, Ivy, tell me a bit about yourself.
29
Where do you live?
30
I live in New York City.
31
It's always busy, and there's so much to do.
32
What about you?
33
I live in a small town called Maplewood.
34
It's quiet but nice.
35
Not as much fun as New York, though.
36
I bet it's peaceful.
37
How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
38
I'm 28.
39
How about you?
40
I'm 26.
41
So, we're not too far apart in age.
42
What do you do for work?
43
I'm a graphic designer.
44
I make cool stuff on the computer logos, websites, things like that.
45
It's a lot of fun, but sometimes I feel like my brain is about to explode from too many ideas.
46
I bet your life must be really exciting.
47
What about you?
48
I'm a teacher.
49
I work with little kids and let me tell you, it's fun.
50
But you need lots of energy.
51
I can imagine.
52
Teaching sounds like a job where you never get bored.
53
What's the best part about working with kids?
54
They ask me the funniest questions and they see the world in such a unique way.
55
It's inspiring.
56
But it's also a bit tiring sometimes.
57
but it must be rewarding too.
58
Do you have any hobbies to unwind after a long day with the kids?
59
I do.
60
I love reading mystery books they're like little puzzles.
61
I also enjoy hiking.
62
Being out in nature helps me relax.
63
And I'm pretty good at cooking too.
64
I once cooked for 10 people, and nobody got food poisoning.
65
That's definitely a win, I'd love to try your cooking someday.
66
How about you?
67
Any hobbies?
68
I love painting, and I play the guitar.
69
I'm not in a band or anything, but I enjoy making music.
70
It's a great way to express myself, just like painting.
71
That's so cool.
72
Music and art sounds like you've got a lot of talent.
73
What's something you're really good at?
74
I'd say I'm pretty patient.
75
It helps with designing because you have to keep fixing things until they're just right.
76
I can see that.
77
Patience is a good strength to have.
78
What's your strength?
79
I can stay positive even when things get tough.
80
That's such a great quality, especially as a teacher.
81
I'm sure the kids love that energy.
82
Do you have any fun stories to share from your hiking adventures?
83
Well, once I got lost on a hike for hours, It was pretty scary at first, but I found my way back using just the stars.
84
I felt like an explorer from an adventure book.
85
It was kind of cool looking back on it.
86
Wow, that's awesome.
87
Not many people could do that.
88
Thanks.
89
How about you?
90
Do you have any interesting stories from your hobbies?
91
Well, one time, my painting fell off the wall during an art show, but people thought it was part of the display.
92
That's funny.
93
Art really does have a mind of its own, doesn't it?
94
It sure does.
95
This was fun, Ivy we should chat more often.
96
Definitely.
97
I had a great time getting to know you, Alex.
98
What do you think about Alex and Ivy's conversation?
99
Does it give you enough information?
100
In this part, I will sum up the basic steps to introduce yourself
101
if you don't have time to listen to the conversation.
102
Let's start with the basics.
103
When you introduce yourself, the first things you should share are your name, age, and where you live.
104
For example, you could say, "Hi, my name is Nathan." I'm 24 years old and I live in London.
105
simple, right?
106
It's all about giving people a little bit of information to start the conversation.
107
Next.
108
Let's talk about what you do.
109
Do you have a job or are you a student?
110
This helps people understand what you're interested in.
111
You could say something like, "I'm an artist.
112
I love drawing everything around me." Or if you're a student, I'm a biology student in my last year of university.
113

Think about a quality...
122
that helps you in your job or studies.
123
For example, I'm really good at managing my time, or I'm great at making people laugh.
124
It's not about bragging.
125
It's about letting people know what makes you unique.
126
Now, this part is optional, but it can really make your introduction stand out.
127
Share a short story or a fun fact about yourself.
128
It's a great way to make people smile and remember you.
129
Let me share my story.
130

131
It ended up looking like a flying saucer.
132
My friends still laugh about it.
133
All right.
134
Let's keep it short and sweet.
135
Your introduction shouldn't be longer than one, two minutes.
136
You want to share enough to be interesting, but not so much that people lose focus.
137
Finally, The most important tip.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
