Self-Introduction Based on a Personal Object: In the academic environment, you are often required to introduce yourself to a body of people. The purpose for an introduction may vary; you might be required to introduce yourself to network with other students, or share your experience about a particular subject\/topic. Introduction speeches can be formal or informal.Your self-introduction speech should include:<\/p>\n
An effective, overarching theme with logical main points (which includes a personal object as a visual aid)<\/p>\n
An interesting \u201chook\u201d that provides a preview of specific main points<\/p>\n
Smooth transitions between sections of your speech (\u201cFirst,\u201d \u201cSecond,\u201d \u201cIn conclusion,\u201d etc.)<\/p>\n
A summary of your key points at the end<\/p>\n
What should you talk about?<\/p>\n
Talk about a particular aspect of your life or personality that describes something about who you are. Examples include a hobby, the ways you like to spend your free time, your career goals, your favorite subject, or your family.<\/p>\n
Choose only one topic to discuss. For instance, your speech could be about your hobby as a marathon runner.<\/p>\n
Stick to your chosen topic and do not introduce additional topics into your speech. Then choose two or three supporting points and a personal object as a visual aid that allow you to go into more detail about that aspect of who you are.<\/p>\n

A conclusion:\u00a0\u201cThink of school as a marathon sport and keep up the pace.\u00a0And if you ever want to go for a run, let me know!\u201d<\/p>\n
Delivery:\u00a0You may\u00a0extemporaneously\u00a0glance at your notes or speaking outline, but do not read.<\/p>\n
