Greetings and Introductions
My name is Carlos. I am from Barcelona, Spain. I am 35 years old. I am a sales manager at a technology company. I speak Spanish and English. I live in Madrid now. At work, I meet many new people every week. I always say: 'Hello, my name is Carlos. Nice to meet you!' It is important to make a good first impression. A smile and a friendly greeting are always a good start.
💡 Did you know? In Japan, people bow when they greet each other. The deeper the bow, the more respect it shows. In France, people kiss on both cheeks. Every culture has different greeting customs!
