responding to short and simple self-introduction by considering the social function,

generic structure, and language features based on the context of use.

Objective: In this topic, you will learn how to tell more details about yourself; how to

ask about others’; and how to answer when people ask some details about you.

We know that there are many things we can share or ask when we meet someone

new.

LESSON

Key Points

o In the previous topic, we have learned about how to introduce ourselves and

some other information about ourselves. When you meet new people,

sometimes you want to know some details about people you have just met.

o To ask about someone’s name, you can say:

“What is your name?” or “What’s your name?”

“What should I call you?”

“What do they call you?”

o To ask about someone’s origin or where they live, you can say:

“Where do you live?”

“Where do you come from?”

“Where are you from?”

Jamie : “My hobby is playing football. Do you like sport? What is your favorite

sport?”

Alia : “Yes. I love cycling.”

Jamie : “Nice to meet you Alia.”

Alia : “Nice to meet you too.”

Thinks about it

Important point

Sometimes different questions have similar answers. For example, “What is your


hobby?” and “What activity you love to do?” mean the same thing. It means there

are many ways to ask about the same information. It is important for you to know

so that you can use different phrases in the introduction.

Expressing Self Introduction

When you meet new people, or you are in a new class or school, you need to

introduce yourself. Introducing yourself to someone doesn’t mean you only tell your

name. You can also share more details about yourself.

To open your introduction, you can start with greeting such as, Hello or Hi. After

that, you have to tell your name.

• Hello, my name is Zaky.

• Hi, I am Anita.

In a more formal situation, you might want to say Let me introduce myself or I’d like

to introduce myself and tell your full name.

• Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Zaky Triawan.

• Hi, I’d like to introduce myself. I am Anita Mariska.

You can also tell people more about yourself such as address and hobby. See the

examples below.

Name : ZakyTriawan

Age : 13

Job : Student

City : Jakarta

Hobby : Football

Hello, Let me introduce myself. My name is ZakyTriawan. You can call me Zaky. It

is spelled Z-A-K-Y. I am 13 years old. I am a student. I live in Jakarta. My hobby is

playing football. It is nice to meet you.

Name : Anita Mariska

Age : 12

Job : Student

City : Bandung

Hobby : Cycling

Hi, I am Anita. It’s A-N-I-T-A. I am 12, and I am a student. I come from Bandung. I


love cycling. It’s nice to meet you.

From the two examples above, we know that Zaky and Anita share the same

information about themselves but a different way. Zaky’s introduction is more

formal. Anita’s introduction is less formal (informal/ casual). When your teacher

asks you to introduce yourself in front of your new class, it means that the situation

is forma. You can use Zaky’s introduction. When you are between friends, you can

use Anita’s introduction because the situation is casual.

o To tell how old you are, you can say:

I am 13 years old.

I am 13.

o To tell about your job (or what you are doing now), you can say:

I am a student.

o To tell about where you live or your origin, you can say:

I live in Medan.

I come from Bandung.

I am from Jakarta.

o To tell about your favorite activity, you can say:

My hobby is reading.

I love fishing.

I really like to play basketball.

o To end your introduction, you can say:

It’s nice to meet you.

(I am) glad to know you.

Tips

Important points

• When introducing yourself, you can tell information such as where you live, what

your hobby is, and your age. There is no strict rule on how to introduce yourself, it

depends on the situation you are in and what the questions are.

• You can use contraction such as

My name is .… = My name’s .…


I am .… = I’m ....

It is nice to .… = It’s nice to .…

Time, Month, Day, Year, Numbering Time: Date, Days, Month, Years

Description: students can define the time correctly. They know how to write date,

month and year in a formal and informal style. They also know some terms and

vocabularies about time in the daily conversation.

Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about date, days, months and years. To express

date, days, months and years, people can use names of the day, names of the

month and the numbers of the year. Read and learn the following explanation:

1. Dates of the months In a month, there are many days. Sometimes, it is twenty

eight, thirty or thirty one days. Read and say:

Ordinal

number

Cardinal

number

Ordinal

number

Cardinal

number

1st First 11th Eleventh

2nd Second 12th Twelfth

3rd Third 13th Thirteenth

4th Fourth 14th Fourteenth

5th Fifth 15th Fifteenth

6th Sixth 16th Sixteenth

7th Seventh 17th Seventeenth

8th Eighth 18th Eighteenth

9th Nineth 19th Nineteenth

10th Tenth 20th Twentieth

The way of writing the date is specific. Although it looks like regular numbers,

expressing dates has some rules. Look and learn.

Example:

Date: 21st July

We say: the twenty first of July


Date: February 24th

We say: the twenty-fourth of February

1. Days of the week There are seven days in a week. Weekdays are Monday to

Friday. This is because people go to work, school and college from Monday to

Friday in the English speaking countries. Saturday and Sunday are week ends,

because the position is at the end of the week where people have a short break

(holiday) from work, school and college.

Important notes: notice that day of the week and weekdays are not same:

Days of the week are all seven days in a week from Monday to Sunday.

Weekdays are only five days from Monday to Friday.

Weekend is Saturday and Sunday.

1. Month of the year There are twelve months in a year. In writing the names of the

months, use capital letters at the beginning of the names.

Example: August; January, July

Month Season

January February March April May June

July August September October

November December

Winter Spring

Summer Autumn

Winter

Every four years, in the fourth year, the month of February has 29 days instead of

28. This year is called a “Leap year” and the 29th day of February is called a “Leap

day”. Years that can be divided by four are leap years (ex: 2000, 2008, 2016,

2020).

In Australia, because of its climate, the seasons are the opposite of seasons in

Europe. Winter in Australia is between June to August; Spring is between

September to November, Summer is between December to February and Autumn

is between March to May.


1. Years Years consist of numbers. However, the way you say the years is different

than the way you say price or numbers in math. Read and learn:

• 1984 : you say nineteen eighty four (19: nineteen; 84: eighty four)

• 2014 : you say two thousand and fourteen or twenty fourteen

1. Writing the date Formal

British Day-Month-Year American Month-Day-Year

The fifteenth of August, 2014 August the fifteenth,2014

15th March 2014 August 15th, 2014

Generally, the longer formats are more polite, it shows the respect for the reader.

You use formal way to write dates on printed items like wedding invitations,

graduation invitations, meeting or conference invitations, and other formal letters

(business letters, academic documents).

Informal

British Day-Month-Year American Month-Day-Year

15/8/2014 8/15/2014

Shorter formats are used in less formal situation, for example in a letter to a friend,

a memo, an invoice, and technical documents.

Important notes:

• Add ending ‘th’ to the numbers if you want to say and write about dates

• Pay attention to the following endings: 1st (first); 2nd (second); 3rd (third). These

are exceptions that do not use ending ‘th’.


Expressing Time, Month, Day, Year

Numbering Here, we will learn about time. We use time when telling about hour (using clocks,

watches), date, month and year (using calendar).

1. It is about Clock

• O'clock is only used at the full hour.

Example: I wake up at six o'clock.(06.00)

• Past is used to say time after the hour until half past. From 1st minute until 29th

minute.

Example: She goes to school twenty past six in the morning.(06.20)

• To is used to say time before the hour. From 31st minute to 59th minute

Example: He arrives in the office at a quarter to eight.(07.45)

• Quarter is 15 minutes of an hour. At 15 minutes past the hour we can say

“Quarter past” or “fifteen”. At 15 minutes to the hour we can say “Quarter to” or

“forty-five”

Example: My class starts at quarter past seven. (7.15)

• Half is 30 minutes of an hour.We can say “half past” or “ thirty”

Example: I go home at half pas one. (1.30)

• We can also say the number of time.

Example: I have lunch at twelve thirty.(12.30)

Important notes: </span>

When speaking about time, in a day there are 24 hours, generally we use the 12-

hours clock. We use a.m. and p.m.

• a.m. stands for Ante Meridiem, the time between midnight and noon. 00:01 –

11:59

• p.m. stands for Post Meridian, afternoon 12:01 – 23:59

• Noon or midday is for 12.00 or 12 p.m.

• Midnight is for 24:00 or 12 a.m.


2. When speaking about different time in the day, we have morning, noon,

afternoon, evening and night. There are indicators for using the time expression.

• Morning is the time between sunrise and noon, sunrise-11.59.

• Afternoon is the time between noon and sunset, 12.01-sunset

• Evening is the time between sunset and night, sunset-darkness

• Night is the time after evening and before sunrise, it usually uses to greet before

sleep.

3. In telling about time, it needs preposition, it uses "in the" for morning, noon,

afternoon and evening. Ex: in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.

But it is different for night,it uses "at". Ex: at night.

4. Telling date: day, month, year

• For single days or dates we use ON

Example: I will go to Bali on 7th of this month.

• For months we use IN

Example:

I was born in January

I was born on February 17th.

• For years we use IN.

Example:

This building will finish in 2015.

This restaurant is going to be opened on July 25th, 2015.

Preposition ON is used in the exact time with date, if there is only ‘months’ or

‘years’ we use IN.
