If you haven't figured out, we will review the steps together.

如果你还没有弄清楚，我们会一起回顾一下这些步骤。

Step one: Keep it simple.

第一步：保持简洁。

No need for long, awkward speeches.

不需要长篇大论或尴尬的演讲。

Just stick to the basics — your name, where you live, and what you do.

只需要说些基本信息——你的名字、你住在哪里以及你的职业。

Like, "Hey, I'm Sarah. I live in New York, and I work as a graphic designer." There you go. Easy.

比如，“嗨，我是莎拉，我住在纽约，是一名平面设计师。”就是这样，很简单。

Try practicing sentences like this daily!

试着每天练习这样的句子！

Step two: Body language matters!

第二步：肢体语言很重要！

Smile, make eye contact, stand up straight.

保持微笑，眼神交流，身体站直。

You don't need to look like a superhero — just look welcoming!

你不必看起来像超级英雄——只要看起来友好就行！

A warm smile can make things way less awkward.

一个温暖的微笑可以大大减轻尴尬。

Step three: Adapt to the situation.

第三步：根据情况调整。

Your introduction isn't one-size-fits-all, adjust it based on where you are and who you're talking to.

你的自我介绍不是一成不变的，要根据你所处的场合以及和你交谈的对象来调整。

At a party?

在派对上？

Keep it casual: "Hey, I'm Alex! I love hiking and trying new foods." Fun and relatable.

那就随意一点：“嗨，我是亚历克斯！我喜欢徒步旅行和尝试新食物。”有趣又能引起共鸣。

In a job interview?

在工作面试中？

Stay professional: "I have five years of experience in marketing and specialize in growing businesses." Clear and confident.

需要保持专业：“我有五年的市场营销经验，擅长拓展业务。”清晰又自信。

Same person, different settings, different introductions.

同样一个人，在不同的场合，需要进行不同的自我介绍。

You wouldn't introduce yourself the same way to your boss as you would to a new gym buddy, right?

你不会用和跟新健身伙伴介绍自己一样的方式来跟老板介绍自己，对吧？

So, pay attention to the situation and adjust your intro to fit!

所以，注意场合，并根据场合调整你的自我介绍！

Step four: Be memorable. Add a fun fact!

第四步：给人留下深刻印象。分享一个有趣的事实！

Instead of just saying, "I'm Alex," make it stick — "I love baking and recently tried making macarons." Now, you're not just Alex — you're the macaron person!

不要只说，“我是亚历克斯”，可以让自我介绍更吸引人，比如：“我喜欢烘焙，最近还尝试做了马卡龙。”现在，你不只是亚历克斯了——你是那个会做马卡龙的人！

Sharing something unique gives people an easy way to remember you and makes conversations flow naturally.

分享一些独特的事情能让人们更容易记住你，也能让对话自然地进行下去。

Plus, it can lead to fun follow-up questions like, "Oh, what flavor did you make?" Step five: Confidence is key.

此外，这还可能引出一些有趣的后续问题，比如，“哦，你做了什么口味的？”第五步：自信是关键。

You don't have to be perfect — just clear and natural.

你不必做到完美——只要表达清晰、自然就好。

Speak at a steady pace, don't rush, and avoid overthinking.

以稳定的语速说话，不要着急，避免过度思考。

A small pause is fine — better than filling the space with "uhh" and "umm." And remember, people aren't judging you as harshly as you think.

稍微停顿一下也没关系——总比用 “呃”“嗯” 来填充空白要好。记住，人们对你的评判并不像你想象的那么苛刻。

The more you practice, the more natural it will feel!

你练习得越多，就会感觉越自然！

Final tip: Keep the conversation going!

最后一个建议：让对话继续下去！

A great introduction doesn't just end, it sparks a conversation.

一个好的自我介绍不会戛然而止，而是会引发对话。

Instead of stopping after your intro, turn it into a two-way street.

不要在自我介绍完就停下来，要让对话变成双向的交流。

Ask, "What about you? What do you like to do for fun?" This keeps things engaging, helps you find common interests, and prevents those dreaded awkward silences.

问对方，“你呢？你喜欢做些什么来消遣？”这能让对话保持有趣，帮助你找到共同的兴趣，避免那些可怕的尴尬沉默。

The best introductions lead to real connections!

最好的自我介绍能建立起真正的联系！
