1. Greetings & self-introduction
Myself:
A conversation about myself is where I talk about who I am, what I like, and some basic details about my life. I can start by introducing myself, saying my name and maybe where I’m from. Then, I can share some information about my family, like how many brothers and sisters I have. I can talk about my hobbies or favorite activities, such as playing sports or reading books. I might also mention my favorite foods or colors. It’s a chance for me to tell someone else a little bit about myself so they can get to know me better
Here are some basic points Advik uses to talk about himself:
- Name: “My name is Advik.
- Age: “I am ten years old.”
- Nationality: “I am from India.”
- Hobbies: “I like playing football and reading books.”
