Lesson Two Reading and Writing

In English we often use pronouns when introducing other people. We say someone is "our friend", "a colleague of mine", "his boss", etc. Here are some examples of introductions of other people:

  • "Nancy, I would like you to meet Harry Jennings. Harry is a colleague of mine. Harry, this is Nancy Smith, my assistant."
  • "It's nice to meet you Harry."
  • "It's nice to meet you too."
 

  • "Alan, this is Jane Kentworth. She is the head of our department. Jane, this is Alan Tripp. He is an intern in my team."
  • "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Kentworth."
  • "It's a pleasure to meet you, too. Please call me Jane."
  • "Thank you. Please call me Alan."
 
  • "Frank, this is Beth, my colleague from work."
  • "Hi Beth, it's nice to meet you."
  • "It's nice to meet you too, Frank. How do you know John?"
  • "He was an employee of mine."
