In the first unit of our English course, we are introduced to a new friend named Gina. Her name is simple but meaningful, and it sets the tone for learning how to introduce ourselves in English.

When we meet someone new, one of the first things we usually ask is, “What’s your name?” This question helps us get to know each other better. In this unit, we learn that the correct way to answer this question is by saying, “My name is...” followed by our own name. For example, if your name is Tom, you would say, “My name is Tom.”

Gina is a friendly and curious girl who loves making new friends. She often starts conversations with people by asking about their names, which shows her interest in others. Through her experiences, we learn that knowing someone’s name is an important step in building a relationship.

In addition to introducing ourselves, we also practice saying our names clearly and correctly. This is especially important for non-native speakers who may have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds in English. By repeating our names out loud and listening to how they sound, we can improve our speaking skills and feel more confident when talking to others.

Another key part of this unit is learning how to respond to greetings. When someone says, “Hi! What’s your name?” we should reply politely and clearly. A good response would be, “Hi! My name is Gina.” This simple sentence helps us start a conversation and shows respect to the person we are talking to.

Through this unit, we not only learn how to introduce ourselves but also understand the importance of communication and kindness in our daily lives. Gina’s story reminds us that even small actions, like sharing our name, can make a big difference in connecting with others.

By the end of Unit 1, students should be able to confidently say their names, ask others for theirs, and respond appropriately in basic conversations. This foundation will help them build more complex language skills as they continue their English learning journey.
