Introduce individuals to each other using both first and last names. 2. If youre introducing someone who has a title, a doctor, for example include the title as well as the first and last names in the introduction. 3. Introduce the younger or less prominent person to the older or more prominent person, regardless of the sex of the individuals. (However, if a considerable age difference lies between the two, it is far more courteous to make introductions in deference to age, regardless of social rank.) For example: “Arthur Prefect, Id like you to meet Dr. Gertrude Smith”. 4. If the person you are introducing has a specific relationship to you, make the relationship clear by adding a phrase such as my boss, my wife or my uncle . 5. Introduce an individual to the group first, then the group to the individual. For example: Dr. Brown, Id like you to meet my friends Kym Hsu, Shawn Kampbell and Michael Via. Everyone, this is Dr. Kurt Brown.Think and compare! Homework Surf on the internet to learn about Braille.
