Good evening, members and guests, tonight its my first speech here. The topic is self introduction. Sometimes I need to break the ice, when I start a meeting, have an interview, or my first blind dating with a charming girl. I introduce and it works. But tonight quite hard, for its all in English and later should be evaluated by some of u.
Usually I began like that:
My name is chenwengang, 29 years old, grown up in Hubei province.
I entered Wuhan University in 1998 for bachelor degree on architectural design. 8 years later I graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2006 with master degree. Then I came to Shenzhen, worked for Huayi Design Company until now. I worked here first as an assistant, then an architect, and right now a project-in-charge.
During my 3 years here, i practiced a lot. I assist my supervisor to discuss with teammates and handle some general paper works, sending emails and faxes. as a project architect, I handle residential projects over 200,000 sqm, I need to discuss with clients and make presentations during meeting. After meetings, I report to my vice principle directly.
I learned a lot not only from my job but also my family. I was born in a big family with two elder sisters. One is a doctor, another is a trading manager. When we were children, we played and fight, for the last apple. As a child, I learned how to communicate with peoples from different background. I learned how to negotiate in a very tough situation. They really taught me a lot. I kept patient when they shopping, I performed gentleman when they dinner. I am so lucky to have two such sisters in a big family, i need to thank them.
We 3 guys all have one in common that we all like English. As a busy working man, I never imagine that I would come to English corner one day. In my university, English corner is not a place for English, but have a very bad reputation for hunting girls, I never go there so I have a no chance to speak. When I worked, everything changed, I need to report to my boss everyday. That's why I want to make some changes this year.
Tonight I am standing here in front of every peoples making my first speech, just as parkman said, some of us I did not talk, most of us I did not know. But that's wont be a problem, I hope in the coming days we can communicate each other much more, and would be good friends
