IN THE REAL WORLD 11
A Read the prompt. Prepare a short presentation.
PROMPT:
First impressions are very important in a professional setting.
Prepare a presentation that covers the following information: your name, age, education, skills, goals, likes, and dislikes.
Names are important. They can tell us about a person’s culture. Here are some fun facts about names!
Most people have a last name or family name.
People in many countries have one family name. In Spain and Latin American countries, people have two! They use the family names of their mother and father. Some people also have two first names. Names in these countries are often long!
Example Victor Manuel Cruz Chávez (first names) (father’s last name) (mother’s last name)
In Iceland, many people do not use family names. Their last name comes from their father’s first name. For boys, they add -son to the father’s first name. For girls, they add -dóttir.
For example, the son of Jón Einarsson will have the last name Jónsson. The daughter will have the last name Jónsdóttir.
Example Jón Einarsson
Ólafur Jónsson (son) (father) Anna Jónsdóttir (daughter)
Some countries in East Asia use Chinese characters for their names. These characters have different meanings. For example, the Korean name Jeong Eun can use the characters 貞 (Jeong) and 恩 (Eun). This means “honest kindness.”
