2. HHi! I’m Abbey.
Abbey Wilson, and I’m
going to introduce you
to some of my friends.
But first, let me tell you a
little bit about myself.
I’m 12 years old and I’ve
got one brother and two
sisters.
Brian is 7, Lottie is 10 and
Rosemary is 14.
We live in a big apartment
in Canterbury, Kent.

3. Let’s start with simple greetings.
In English we say “Good Morning”,
“Good Afternoon”, “Good Evening”
when we greet people and “Goodbye” when we
leave - but remember that “Goodnight”
means that you are saying goodbye to
someone at night.
It´s not the same as “Buenas Noches” in
Spanish.
We have lots of ways of greeting each other –
but the most common is simply:
1. Good morning
2. Good afternoon how are you?
3. Good evening
I´m fine, thanks – and you?
Fine, thanks

4. Introductions
So what are the rules for making introductions?
How do you introduce yourself?
