Hi! My name is Tabarana Liviu-Ionut and I am 21 years old. Currently, I

am a student at the University of Agronomic Sciences Bucharest, respectively
the Faculty of Management and Rural Development. My hobbies are walking
around the world, going out with friends, board games, computer games, but
especially football. I have loved football since I was little, and since then I have
been a player for various teams and I graduated from high school in this field. I
took part in various matches in many cities and countries and I can say that I
love the atmosphere in the stadiums and the collegiality between us, the football
players. For me, football is something very important, it is part of me and I hope
that soon I will make this hobby a whole career. In the past, I have worked as a
firefighter and I can say that this step has helped me understand many aspects
and how important a danger must be treated. In this field, I have made friends, I
have realized how important it is to be careful and always prepared and I can say
that now I am proud of myself and I want to give my all for my career. My plans
for the future are to finish college, because I have a very well-developed goal. I
want to take things seriously, to reach the stage of accessing European funds and
to be a true engineer. I can say about myself that I am an open person, an
adventurer, I like to make friends and document myself. I am calm, I take things
step by step and I always like to get where I want to go. If I were to describe
myself in one word, he would be a perfectionist, and the funny phase is that I
don't know if it's a defect or a quality. I say this because I am very ambitious
until I reach the proposed results, and this is a positive thing, but on the other
hand, this can lead to failure, because I try too hard and do not see the essentials.
Some of my qualities would be: the fact that I am competitive, ambitious,
hardworking, friendly, I like to work in a team, probably because of that and I
appreciate football so much and I can also say that I am a cerebral man. Like
any human being, I have bad qualities, although I try to diminish them, some of
them would be: I am an introverted person, sometimes even shy, but that until I
enter my comfort zone, I am also proud, and because of that I lose a lot of
things. I like to think about myself that I am a balanced man, that I can handle
any situation, spontaneously and, last but not least, a convinced family man.
Quality: Defects:
-ambitious -shy
-positive -introverted person
-competitive -a little naive
-balanced man -punctuality
-friendly -perfectionist

3. What is this thing for?
4. What do you do?
5. Where are you going for holidays this summer?
6. What time do you usually get up on weekends?
7. What is the nicest thing you’ve ever done for someone else?
8. Why don’t you talk to him about this problem?
9. Why is that going to happen?
10. What colour would you like for the kitchen?
11. What are you doing here?
12. What sound do you find more difficult in English?

18. Who did you speak to last time you were there?
19. When was the last time you went out for dinner?
20. Who will this affect your future position?

III. Make a list of topics to avoid in conversations with people we meet for the first time (give
some examples of sentences).
Anything negative: "My job stinks." "I hate this company." "My boss is a jerk."
Nothing tanks a first impression faster than negativity, Price says. "Even if these statements
are true, they're best left unsaid in a social or business setting, especially when you're putting
your best foot forward in a first-time meeting." If you have a genuine complaint about
someone or something, communicate the issue with the person who can do something about
it, such as human resources.

Anything about money: "What's your salary?" "How much do you make?" "What do
you get paid?"
The amount of money a person earns is a very personal matter. "It's considered rude to ask,
and unconscionable on a first encounter," she explains.

Anything about pregnancy: "When is your baby due?" "Congratulations! I see you're
expecting." "Are you pregnant?"
If you imply a woman is pregnant when she isn't, there is no recovery. It's a colossal insult.
"Besides, this observation (whether true or false) is too personal to mention for a first time
meeting," Price says. "Unless the woman brings it up, stick with professional topics that relate
to your industry or business function."
Anything about your sexual orientation: "I'm gay." "I'm straight." "I'm asexual."
"It doesn't matter, and it's no one's business other than yours and your partner's," Price says.
"It's also likely to make other people uncomfortable, and may even border on sexual
harassment."

IV. Decide which are the best replies (sometimes more than one is possible):
1. How are you?
b) I’m fine, thank you.

2. Pleased to meet you!

a) Likewise.
b) You, too.
3. Thanks, you’re so kind.
c) No problem.
4. What are you doing?
a) Just coming from the market.
c)Fine, thanks. And you?
5. How do you do?
a) Very well, thank you.
6. It’s great to see you again!
a) It’s great to see you, too.
7. What do you do?
b) I’m an engineer.
8. Oops! I’m sorry!
a) That’s OK.
c) Don’t worry about it!
9. Well, I’m leaving now.
