CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

Giving introduction and basic questions in taking admissions or in the other situation
are used to ask simple information such as asking the name, address, age, and etc. in this
chapter, it tells you how to introduce yourself and the others as well. Introducing yourself is
much more than saying your name; its a way to connect with someone new by exchanging
words and often, physical contact. Introducing yourself to strangers can be tricky because
what you say depends entirely on the context. You may introduce yourself differently
depending on whether you are addressing an audience before you give a speech, meeting
someone at a networking event, or just starting a conversation with a new person at a party.
What is important is to introduce yourself in a way that is appropriate and makes people
like and remember you.

There are also several types of nurse differing in their level of education and expertise.
When deciding to pursue a career as a nurse, you must first decide whether you want to
specialize in a particular area. There are nurses who work closely with general physicians
and help them in their daily tasks, while there are other nurses who work specifically with
obstetricians to help deliver babies and care for pregnant woman. Depending on your
specialty, you may need to receive additional credit and training in order to work in the area
you choose.

Here, we will study how to giving an introduction to the others people and trying not to
feel nervous while we are starting a new conversation with the people that we never meet
before, and also we will study what the types of nurse so we will not afraid what nurse we
will be.

DISCUSSION

A. Giving Introduction
a. Definition introduction
An introduction refers to a beginning, maybe presenting someone new to a
group, or inserting a new idea into a project. In a piece of writing, the
introduction makes clear to the reader the texts purpose. The noun introduction
comes from the Latin verb introducere, meaning to lead in. This leading
in might be the formal introduction of a speaker, or the speakers own
introduction to his remarks, or it might be the insertion of a new and different
idea.
Introducing yourself is much more than saying your name; its a way to

Introducing yourself to strangers can be tricky because what you say depends
entirely on the context. You may introduce yourself differently depending on
whether you are addressing an audience before you give a speech, meeting
someone at a networking event, or just starting a conversation with a new person
at a party. What is important is to introduce yourself in a way that is appropriate
and makes people like and remember you.

b. How to introduce yourself.

Method 1 (Introducing yourself in any social situation)
1. Make an eye contact.
Eye contact shows that you're engaged in the interaction. Eye contact is one
way to connect with another human and show that the other person has your
attention. When you make eye contact, it shows that you are open and
engaged.
If you're not comfortable looking straight into someone's eyes, stare
at the point between the eyebrows; she won't notice the difference.

2
 If youre in a group setting, make periodic eye contact with those
around you.
2. Smile
It is important to keep a genuine, bright smile when you meet a new person.
Be genuinely happy to meet someone new and to share a positive experience
and it will help create a genuine smile. Including the upper part of your face
in your smile creates a more genuine and less fabricated smile.
3. Use appropriate body language
Your body language should communicate that you are confident and at ease.
Stand with your head high and your back straight, being careful not to
slouch. Mirror the body language of people around you. Also mirror the
pace of speech and tone of speech of those near you to built rapport.

Method 2 ( Introducing yourself to an individual)

1. Exchange names
If the introduction is formal, say "Hello, I'm [first name][last name]." If it's
informal, say "Hi, I'm [first name]. Immediately after you've stated your
name, ask for the other person's name by saying "Whats your name?" in a
pleasant tone. When you learn the other person's name, repeat it by saying
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Pedro" or "Nice to meet you, Caroline."
Repeating the persons name will help you remember it, and give the
introduction a more personal touch.
2. Offer a handshake or other culturally appropriate greeting.
Most cultures have a form of physical contact to accompany a greeting. In
the United States, it is often a handshake. Be sure to keep the handshake
brief and not too loose (floppy) or firm (bone-breaking).
Be aware of cultural differences. For instance, it is considered rude to
firmly shake hands in China.

3
 It is often appropriate to greet with a hug, especially if youre
meeting a friend of a friend or an in-law. Hugs show more openness
than a handshake. Women more often than men may prefer a hug to a
handshake.
In many cultures, it is culturally appropriate to greet with a kiss. In
South America, for instance, all women are greeted with one kiss,
and in France, women are greeted with one kiss on each cheek. If you
are unsure of the appropriate greeting, follow the other persons lead
or watch how other people greet around you.
3. Ask questions.
Its important to show interest in the other person. Ask where she is
from, what she does for a living, or ask about any common bonds
you may have. Ask about what she loves to do and the passions she
has in life. Show that you are engaged and interested in what she has
to say.
You may tell a little bit of your background in order to engage
conversation and share about yourself. Telling someone where you
work or that you love rock climbing is appropriate and may lead to
more conversation topics.
Dont take the opportunity to talk only about yourself. You will come
across as selfish or uninteresting .
4. Close the conversation.
After you've met someone for the first time, you should end the conversation
by restating that you enjoyed meeting. If the interaction was formal, say
something like "Mrs. Castro, I'm delighted to have met you. I hope we can
talk again soon." If your conversation was informal, you can say "It was
great meeting you, Harold. Hope to see you around."

Method 3 (Introducing yourself by giving a speech)

1. Greet the audience and state your name.
If you're giving a speech, it's important to state your first and last
name. As you say hello and give your name, remember to speak
clearly and confidently.

4
 Say, "Good morning, Im Chelle Arnold" or "How is everyone doing
today? My name is Lisa Carroll"
2. Share some relevant information about yourself
After you provide your name, share why you and the speech are
relevant, making sure you provide your credibility. The sort of
information you share will depend on the audience and the subject
you'll be talking about. If you're giving a speech about the
importance of eating organic foods, tell people that you're a scientist,
chef, or environmental professional. If youre giving a speech about
child development, be sure to include that you are a child
psychologist.
Provide any other relevant information. For instance, you can provide
a brief background of your credible experience. My name is Erica
Lafaurie and I am a professor of environmental science at Berkeley.
After I conducted my research in the Amazon rainforest, I realized
how important it is to share ways to protect this land.
3. Communicate effectively
From the very start, make sure your voice is loud enough for everyone to
hear you. Avoid mumbling by enunciating your consonants crisply. You can
even ask the audience if you are speaking loudly enough for all to hear.
People will not be able to understand you or respect what you are sharing if
they cannot hear you.
4. Move your body
Stand with good posture, and move freely while you speak. Stand up tall,
move your shoulders back instead of slouching, and keep your hands free,
using them to gesture when necessary. If you don't have to stand behind a
podium, then walk around to show the crowd how comfortable you are and
to make yourself look less stiff.

5
 Method 4 (Introducing yourself at a professional event)
1. Say your full name.
Make sure you provide your full name so that the person can remember your
name. You can say, "Hi, my name is Mark Salazar," or "Hello, I'm Angela
Grace," and they'll be more likely to remember you.
2. Give a one-sentence description of what you do.
If you're at a networking event, then it's likely that you'll be talking about
what you do to a variety of people. So, what do you say when a new
connection asks, "What is it that you do?" Do you launch into a ten-minute
story about your career path? Do you reel off a list of your accomplishments
in your field? Absolutely not. Unless you're having a more lengthy
conversation, you should be prepared to give a one-sentence description of
what you do that gives the following information.
Who are you, professionally? Are you a teacher, a project manager,
or a health care professional?
Who do you work with? Do you work with children, cross-cultural
project teams, or micro-finance organizations?
What do you do? Do you help second-grade children develop their
writing skills, do you help cross-cultural teams meet complete their
goals while keeping their budgets, or do you help microfinance
organizations expand their market base in developing countries?
Now, put your sentence together. State who you are, who you work
with, and what you do.
3. Respect peoples space.
If you have items, dont place them on recruiters or presenters tables.
Respect their space and dont overwhelm them. You can also disrupt their
materials, such as knocking over a poster or messing up pamphlets. Wait to
be asked to exchange business cards, resumes, etc.
4. Follow up with a question.
If the person has asked you what you do first, don't just walk away and
praise yourself for a job well done. Instead, ask the person what he or she
does in return. This is not only polite, but shows that you have a real interest
in this person's career path and want to build a meaningful connection.

6
 5. Say goodbye like a professional.
Don't just wave and say, "Nice meeting you" and walk away from the
person. Anyone you meet at a networking event can have the potential to
help you in the future, so make sure that you make eye contact, repeat the
person's name, and exchange business cards or any other pieces of relevant
information before you walk away.

B. Grammar Focus
a. Definition from grammar
Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar
as the "rules" of a language; but in fact no language has rules*. If we use the
word "rules", we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then
spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that.
Languages started by people making sounds which evolved into words,
phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All
languages change over time. What we call "grammar" is simply a reflection
of a language at a particular time.

b. Part of speech
The part of speech explain how a word is used in a sentence. There are eight
main part of speech (also know as word classes): nouns, pronouns,
adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
Most parts of speech can be divided into sub-classes. Prepositions can be
divided into prepositions of time, prepositions of place etc. Nouns can be
divided into proper nouns, common nouns, concrete nouns etc. It is
important to know that a word can sometimes be in more than one part of
speech. For example with the word increase. Increase can be a verb e.g.
Prices increased and increase can also be a noun e.g. There was
an increase in the number of followers.

7
The eight main parts of speech in English are:

1. NOUN - (Naming word)

A noun is the name of a person, place, thing or idea.

countable nouns are called count nouns.

Many abstract nouns are uncountable.
Examples of abstract nouns: love, time, happiness, bravery,
creativity, justice, freedom, speed

f. Gerunds
A gerund, sometimes called a verbal noun, is a noun formed from a
verb. Since all gerunds end in -ing, they are sometimes confused as
being a verb (present participle).
Example: Running is good for you. Here running looks like a verb
because of its -ing ending but it is a noun (gerund) because we are
talking about the concept of running, we are talking about a thing.
Examples of gerunds: reading, writing, dancing, thinking, flying

2. PRONOUN - (Replaces a Noun)

A pronoun is used in place of a noun or noun phrase to avoid repetition.

Examples of pronouns: I, you, we, they, he, she, it, me, us, them,
him, her, this, those

dance with me.
