PORTAL ACADEMY

Introduce yourself in one minute

Start with four simple details: your name, your work or studies, an interest, and your goal. A clear introduction does not need complicated words.

Start with the basics

Say your name and where you live. Use I am before a name or description.

Hi, I’m Omar. I live in Cairo.

Add work or education

Use I work as before a job, or I study for education. Say I work, not I am work.

I work as a sales supervisor.

I study engineering at university.

Finish with an interest and goal

Choose an interest and explain why you are learning English. Connect the sentences without memorizing a long speech.

I enjoy football. I’m learning English to speak more confidently at work.

Try it yourself

Record a 30–60 second introduction. Listen again and check that your work or studies are clear. Try again without reading.

Check your understanding

Choose the correct sentence.
