Langkah selanjutnya adalah mengungkapkan siapa diri anda, dari mana anda berasal, jika anda sedang mewakili perusahaan/instansi tertentu maka nama instansi/perusahaan itulah asal anda bukan kota dimana anda berasal, selanjutnya sebutkan profesi/pekerjaan/posisi/jabatan anda, dan berikan sedikit penjelasan/gambaran mengenai pekerjaan anda.

Umur dan hobi tidak disarankan dibicarakan ketika melakukan perkenalan dalam situasi pertemuan bisnis, namun akan lebih baik jika di ungkapkan pada acara-acara pertemuan non formal seperti arisan, undangan makan malam, dsb, atau pada situasi percakapan.

Contoh mengungkapkan siapa diri anda.

My name is . . . / I’m . . . (nama anda),

I’m from . . . (daerah asal /nama kantor/perusahaan anda),

I’m a. . . . (jabatan/Pekerjaan/profesi anda),

I’m responsible for/I handle . . . (sedikit penjelasan tentang pekerjaan anda)

Apabila anda seorang mahasiswa :

I’m taking /I’m majoring. . . (jurusan anda)

Yang perlu diingat :

• Apabila jabatan anda hanya ada satu di kantor/perusahaan anda (kepala sekolah, direktur, dst), maka pergunakanlah kata sandang “The” bukan “a/an”.

• Pada saat menjelaskan job description (gambaran tentang pekerjaan), jika menggunakan “I’m reponsible for” maka diikuti dengan V ing, jika memakai “I handle” maka diikuti kata benda (Object).

Beberapa Contoh ungkapan penutup

o “OK guys, I think it’s enough, thanks”

o Well, everyone, I think that’s all I want to say for now, and don’t forget to come by my store, just come by, I’ll give you special prize. Nice to see you and Thank you.

o Ladies and gentlemen I’m afraid I’ve come to the end of my speech, for the unpleasant words I’d like to say sorry, and thank you very much for your attention.
