Lesson 1

Self-identification refers to expressing personal information about oneself

It is important in various contexts, including when buying the perfect camper. Here are some rules and useful guidelines for self-identification:

1. Introducing Yourself: 
When introducing yourself, use the phrase "My name is [your name]."


For example:
















Example Explanation
🔊
Hello, my name is John.
This is a simple and straightforward way to let others know your name.





2. Providing Additional Information:

In addition to stating your name, you can include more details about yourself, such as your occupation, hobbies, or interests.


For example:














Example
🔊
I'm an outdoor enthusiast, and I enjoy camping and exploring nature.



3. Expressing Preferences and Needs:

When buying the perfect camper, it's essential to express your preferences and needs. Use phrases like "I'm interested in..." or "I'm looking for..." followed by the specific features or requirements you have.


For example:














Example
🔊
I'm interested in purchasing a camper that can accommodate a family of four.




4. Describing Personal Characteristics:
Self-identification can also involve describing personal characteristics that are relevant to the camper purchase.


 For example:















Example
🔊
    Hey there! I'm Michael, and I'm a solo traveler who loves exploring new places.
    I'm looking for a camper that offers a cozy interior and is easy to set up.




5. Using Pronouns:
To refer to yourself, use personal pronouns like "I," "me," or "my." These pronouns help to clarify that you are talking about yourself.


For example:














Example
🔊
             Hi, I'm Lisa.
             I'm planning a cross-country road trip, and I need a camper that can provide me with the necessary amenities along the way.




6. Adjusting Language to Formal or Informal Contexts:
The level of formality in self-identification can vary depending on the context. In more formal settings, it is common to use complete sentences and proper language, while in informal situations, a more relaxed and conversational tone is acceptable.


For example:
















Formal Informal
🔊
Greetings, I'm Mr. Johnson.
I am seeking a camper with advanced
safety features and ample storage space
for my family's upcoming vacations.
Hey, I'm Alex!
I'm on the hunt for a camper that can fit
my group of friends and has a cool entertainment
system for our road trip adventures.
