Cultural Background
Self-introductions don't usually involve titles or job positions.
In normal introductions, just say the occupation and name,for example, this is Mr. Wang,that is Teacher Li. This is Liu Ming and that is Li Hong, etc.
In China the surname "姓" comes first, while the given name" 名"or" 名字"comes second. This is the opposite order from what we use in English. In our dialogue there is a character called Liu Ming, the correct way would be to address him as Mr. Liu. Unfortunately, in order to make it more convenient for English speakers, sometimes Chinese people switch the order around. So he might introduce himself as Ming Liu. But there are ways to tell which the surname is and which the given name is. For example, most names are made of three syllables. For instance, Liu Xiaoming, so if the name is written together, you know that the syllable by itself, or Liu, is the surname. Xiaoming. would be the given name. The only exception occurs when some Chinese surnames have two syllables. For instance, "司徒","欧阳", "诸葛"is a very common two syllable surname.
In China, when introducing two or more people, start with the elder, then the younger person; start with the person in a senior position, to a junior person; the younger or junior person usually say "Hello" first. If someone is in a position of authority or much older, it can be considered impolite to call them directly by names. In this case, it is much better to call them by their titles. For instance," 刘部长"Minister Liu, or" 刘老师" Teacher Liu "刘经理"Manager Liu. Or if the person is much older,"刘叔叔", uncle Liu, is also considered polite.
Handshaking is the norm, while embraces are rare.

Language Points
1、"这是谁?" — "Who is this?", here the "谁" is an interrogative pronoun. In questions, the word can have two positions in the sentence: after the verb, "她是谁?""Who is she?";in front of the verb, " 谁是老师?" "Who is the teacher?"
2、"让我来介绍一下儿" — "Let me introduce.", the "来" + verb means to do something. "一下儿" or "a bit" after the verb indicates the action or activity is for a short time.
3、"哪" — "Which" is followed by measurement words, it is pronounced as "n?i" when spoken; used on its own in spoken language it is pronounced "n?".
Explanatory Notes:
1、"您贵姓" is a polite way of asking for someone's surname. "贵"is a respectful word for others. Reply with: "My surname is...", or say your whole name: "My name is ...". But leave out the polite word, i.e. don't say" 我贵姓??" .
2、"我的女朋友??". In China, "女朋友girlfriend "or " 男朋友boyfriend" refer to lovers, if only talking about a normal friend, introduce them as: "This is my friend";to avoid misunderstandings when talking about friends of the opposite sex, some people prefer to stress "female friend" or "male friend".
3、The "就是" in "您就是" stresses that something is really true. In the dialogue for example, "So you're Liu Ming!"
4、"还好,还好。" — "Pretty good, pretty good.", doubling"好"together expresses warmth.
