Hello, I’m Alicia and I’m 27 years old. Although I was born in Barcelona I have lived in
London since I was a child. I work in a travel agency as a business analyst. I like
dancing and swimming in my free time. What I like the most is to walk around in the
countryside. I really hate to get up late, because I think it’s better not to waste time! –

Personal presentation in English: the importance of knowing how to describe


ourselves
We know that one of the first things you will want to do as you progress in English is to
talk about yourself and express who you are. What do you like? What motivates you?
What do you do and what are your hobbies? Do you live in the city or do you prefer the
tranquility of the countryside or a smaller town?

In English, as in any other language, there are certain basic aspects to take into
account if what we want is to make a personal presentation in English with feet and
heads:
A personal introduction in English involves talking about yourself in detail.
You have to provide objective data about yourself and also talk about more personal
aspects, such as your interests.
Pay special attention to grammatical issues to be able to say what you want correctly.
