What you get
Make first impressions easy (and fun)! This pre-intermediate ESL workbook gives students the tools to introduce themselves confidently in both business and social settings. With real-life examples, role-plays, and practical vocabulary, learners practice sounding natural, building connections, and showing off their best selves in English.
The vocabulary section introduces students to essential phrases for self-presentation and connection. They’ll practice using expressions like “strengthen the team,” “deal with challenges,” and “be passionate about” to talk about their skills, experience, and personality. The focus is on building confidence to make introductions sound natural, professional, and memorable.
