Tha characters are :

1. Brenton Whittle : Waitress / Assistant Lecturer

3. Victor Tang : Sales Representative for this region of Ocean Wide

4. Lin Chan : Sales Manager of Sam Eriks company

The points discussed in the video are:

1. Introductions

How did Sam introduce himself to Victor, who he didn't know?

2. A food phrase to use if you want to meet someone new

He also said "I don't think we've meet", and than say your name.

3. A good formal greeting for most situation

Victor replied by saying his name and "Pleased to meet you". After Sam introduce himself, say your name
and "Pleased to meet you".
4. Usually, when we first meet someone, in a business situation, we want to find out what they do, what
their job or position is.

5. We can be more specific by asking about someone's job.

Position means the same as job. We describe our job by saying "I am" or "I'm" and then naming the
position.

6. The business of names

Should we use formal titles, such as "Mr", "Mrs", or "Ms" ? Or we should informal more familiar names.

7. Introduce to someone else

Sam says "Let me introduce you to someone". This is a very useful phrase.

When Sam introduces Lin, he has four pieces of information.

 The first person's full name

 The first person's position
 The second person's full name
 The second person's position

This way, both Victor and Lin know enough about each other to start a conversation. When introducing
people at a function, it's important to try to make them feel comfortable.

8. Another formal phrase for introduction

"How do you do" and "I'm very well thank you"

9. When we meeting people, tell them something about yourself before being asked. When you ask
people questions about themselves in English, use a falling tone, it's sounds friendlier, instead of "Who
do you work for?" "Who do you work for?", and when introducing a colleague or someone you've met,
use the full names of both people and their positions.
