Each of us has ever faced the task of writing or speaking about ourselves. It could be when applying for a job, when meeting new people, when filling out a questionnaire, taking an exam, or simply it was the topic of your school essay.

It is important to immediately determine how deep and extensive your story about yourself should be. Of course, it all depends on the situation. If you are preparing for an interview, then the story should be clear, concise, business-like. You should focus on your education, work experience, your business qualities, and in general, your strengths and prospects as an employee. If your story is focused on new acquaintances, then most likely you will mainly talk about your hobbies, habits, character, etc. In a school essay, you will definitely have to talk about your family and friends and plans for the future . Situations in which you need to talk about yourself can be very different.

We draw up a plan for a story about myself “About myself”

If you are faced with the task of telling about yourself in English, then ready-made phrase templates will come to your aid, adding to which you will receive a full-fledged essay. First you need to determine for yourself what exactly you want to talk about and draw up a clear plan for the story. I suggest you learn a “universal” self-talk plan that works for almost any situation. You yourself will be able to decide which points in your essay will be covered in more detail and which ones will not. For each item, you will be offered template phrases with a translation, which you will need to supplement with information about yourself.

Our story plan is as follows:

1. Introduction and general information about myself (Introduction and general information about myself)
2. Place of residence (The place where I live)
3. Information about family
4. Education
5. Place of work (My job)
6. My hobbies, talents, interests (My hobby, talents and interests)
7. Traits of character (Сharacter)
8. Plans for the future Template phrases are the main assistants in writing a story about yourself

Writing a story "About myself"

As an introduction, if the situation allows, you can say the following phrase:

• It’s hard to speak about myself as only people surrounding me can see me objectively - It’s very difficult to talk about yourself, because they can objectively perceive me only from the outside

• Let me introduce myself - Let me introduce myself
• Let me tell you a few words about myself - Let me tell you a little about myself

First, state your name:

• My name is Valentin - My name is Valentin

If your loved ones call you differently, you can add the following words:

• But my friends call me Vel - But friends usually call me Val
• But people usually call me Valea - But they usually call me Valya
• But you can call me Vel - But you can call me Val

You can specify the origin of your name or something interesting about it:

• It is a Latin name - This is a Latin name
• I was named after my grandmother - I was named after my grandmother
• My name is quite unusual and I like it - My name is quite unusual and I like it

After that, you can specify the age:

• I am 25 years old
• I was born in 1988 - I was born in 1988
• I will be 30 in three months - I will be 30 in three months
• I will be 20 next Octomber - I will turn 20 next October

• I am from Saint Petersburg
• I come from France, I live in Paris - I am from France, I live in Paris
• I used to live in Saint Petersburg, but now I live in Moscow - I used to live in St. Petersburg, but now I live in Moscow.
• I was born in London and I have lived there all my life - I was born in London and have lived there all my life
• I was born in Balta. It is a small town near Odessa. When I was 16 I moved to Saint Petersburg with my family - I was born in Balta. This is a small town near Odessa. When I was 16, I moved to St. Petersburg with my family

If your interlocutor is interested, you can dedicate a couple of sentences to your city, its location and attractions. In America, when meeting a new person, this item is simply mandatory. For some reason, this is very important for Americans. A person can be born, for example, in the state of Illinois and in early childhood move to another state, but when meeting, he will certainly mention that he is from the state of Illinois.

• My home town is very big, one million people live there - My hometown is very big, a million people live there
