ACTIVITY

Activity 1: Talk about the time you joined your current company. How were you introduced to the staff? How did you feel? Have you ever had to introduce a new employee to the staff? If so, how did you do it? If not, how would you do it?

Activity 2: Find out some professional information about your tutor. (work experience, where he/she is from, etc…) and then use the information you have been given to do a pretend introduction at a company meeting. Try to think of as much pertinent information you would need to give at thorough introduction.
