Ⅰ.Background Information
1. We often give our own name first if we want to find out somebody's name. In a formal situation, you may say "May I introduce myself? My name is ..." If the situation is informal, you may introduce yourself in this way: "Hello. My name's..." or "Hello. I don't think we've met before. My name's..."
2. When we introduce ourselves we usually do not add "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Miss" or "Ms" in front of our names. And we should use the full name on these occasions.
But sometimes middle-aged women do add Miss, Mrs. or Ms before their surname in self-introduction in order to show the way they want to be addressed.
*3. The English name includes the first name (名), the middle name and the last name
(姓). When someone asks you, “What's your name, please?”, he usually wants to know your full name. For example,Harry Potter (哈利·波特), Harry is the first name and Potter is the last name.
The first name is also called the given name. This means the name is given to you by your parents or someone else. The last name is the family name. When a woman gets married, she takes her husband's family name. The English may have their middle names, but they don't often use them.
