While you were introducing yourself, which items do you feel very strong about and should be mentioned to present yourself properly? What is essential for you?
Why are these so important? Try to describe this.
Were there items that you forgot to mention and afterwards thought about? Or subjects that are although very important not to be mentioned in front of people you do not or hardly know? Why do you feel like that about them?
Would you change your introduction of the previous days if you were e.g. on a hiking trip in India and you’ve met local people? What would you change and why?

How might these circles change when you are abroad? For example, did you list your nationality in one of the circles? Or your social class? Did you list the languages you speak?
How might these circles change in time?
What could be the effect of those changes?
