13:55>> No, not at all. I like my sleep.
13:59>> I understand completely. Sleeping is
14:02very important.
14:04>> So, this is a good way to describe
14:06yourself. You can say what you like and
14:10what you don't like.
14:12Yes, that's a very good point. It shows
14:15your personality. For example, hello, my
14:19name is Paul. I am a teacher. I like
14:22dogs and pizza, but I don't like olives.
14:29>> That's a great introduction. Hi, I'm
14:32Emily. I'm a student. I love cats and
14:37pasta, but I don't like to wake up
14:40early.
14:41Perfect. It's simple. It's clear. And
14:44it's friendly.
14:46>> I think we have covered a lot. Name from
14:51live, age, job, family, pets,
14:58hobbies, likes, dislikes.
15:02Wow,
15:03>> that is a very good list for tell me
15:06about yourself. You don't need to say
15:09everything at one time.
15:11>> Oh, no. That's a good tip. You can
15:14choose. Maybe you say your name and your
15:18job.
15:19>> Yes. Or your name and your hobby. It
15:23depends on the situation.
15:25>> If you are in a class, maybe you say
15:28your name and why you are learning
15:31English.
15:32>> Exactly. You can say, "My name is Paul.
15:36I'm from the United States. I like to
15:39learn new things.
15:40>> And if you are at a party, you can say,
15:43"Hi, I'm Emily. I love to paint and
15:47listen to music."
15:49>> That's a great way to start a
15:50conversation.
15:51>> It is. The person can then ask, "Oh,
15:55what do you paint?" or "What music do
15:58you like?"
15:59>> And a new friendship begins. It all
16:02starts with, "Tell me about yourself. It
16:06really does. It's not a scary question.
16:10It's an invitation.
16:12>> An invitation to share a little bit
16:15about you. That's a beautiful way to
16:17think about it.
16:18>> I think it's been very nice to learn
16:21more about you, Paul.
16:23>> Me, too, Emily. I learned you are an art
16:26student who loves pasta and green, and
16:30you have a sleepy cat named Luna.
16:33and I learned you are a teacher who
16:36loves pizza and blue and you have a
16:39friendly dog named Max.
16:42>> It was a very successful conversation.
16:45>> Yes. And I hope it was helpful for all
16:49our listeners.
16:50>> I hope so too. Remember, you can use
16:53these simple sentences to talk about
16:55yourself.
16:56>> Yes. Don't be afraid. Keep it simple and
17:00be friendly. That's the most important
17:02part.
17:04>> That is the perfect advice. A smile is
17:07very important, too.
17:08>> Always.
17:10Well, I think our time is almost up for
17:13today.
