Introducing Yourself – How to Introduce Yourself In English— (2.57)
What’s the first thing you need to do when you meet someone new? Introduce yourself of course! You need to tell your new acquaintance your name in English and maybe some more information about you in English. Do you feel prepared to handle it? Do you know of all the English words and phrases that you can use when you introduce yourself, and the replies that the other person might give? What about the things you’d have to say in return of those replies. In this lesson we have a detailed look at introductions. We tell you how to introduce yourself and respond to basic questions.

Roxette – How Do You Do (lyrics) (3.11)
I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin
It’s making me spin now, spinnin’ within
Before I melt like snow
I say “hello, how do you do!”
I love the way you undress now, baby begin
Do your caress, honey, my heart’s in a mess
I love your blue-eyed voice, like *Tiny Tim shines through
How do you do! (How do you do)
Well here we are cracking jokes in the corner of our mouths
And I feel like I’m laughing in a dream
If I was young I could wait outside your school
‘Cause your face is like the cover of a magazine
*How do you do, do you do, the things that you do
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do, did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye
I see you in that chair with perfect skin
Well how have you been baby, livin’ in sin?
Hey I gotta know, did you say hello
How do you do (how do you do)
Well here we are spending time in the louder part of town
And it feels like everything’s surreal
When I get old I will wait outside your house
‘Cause your hands have got the power meant to heal
*How do you do, do you do, the things that you do
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do, did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye
Well here we are *cracking jokes (how do you do)
Well here we are spending time
How do you do, do you do, the things that you do
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do, did it ever make sense to you
To cry bye, bye bye
How do you do, do you do, the things that you do
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do, did it ever make sense to you
To say bye, bye bye
Yeah, how do you do, do you do, the things you do
No one I know could ever keep up with you
How do you do, did it ever make sense to you

• *how do you do: significa “come stai?” ma se la domanda
è posta, come succede in seguito, come “how do you do
the things that you do” significa una cosa totalmente
diversa (come puoi fare le cose che fai?)
Johnson DMG 2 years ago.
Back in those school day’s when i had 1 lover and many other girlfriends, oh men ,those day’s when i was 13 to 18 years old, now am 34 sitting on my couch thinking about those early days of my childhood, those early days of the 90’s,I can’t believe that I had it so good at the time, nowadays nobody (from my likes) seems to impress me whatever I do. So hearing this song & lyrics brings up memory’s but also become a slap in the face at the same time.
