introductions

It’s open house at your new school, and the place is packed. You spot

a girl you knew in preschool, a boy from the pool, even your old babysit-

ter. So many familiar faces! What do you do when you end up in the

library with friends who don’t know each other? Introduce them.

Say both names and get things started by offering a little information

about each person. There are a few rules about how to do this, but if

you forget the rules, it’s not the end of the world. The worst mistake is

not to make the introduction at all.

Address the older person first.

Mr. Kander, I’d like

to introduce my friend

Freddy Ebb.

Freddy,

Mr. Kander

works with my mom.

Address a woman before a man.

Lynn Fontanne,

I’d like to introduce

my swim coach, Al Lunt.

Al, Lynn used to

babysit for me.
