When you introduce yourself to a stranger, you usually do these things :

1. Greet them
2. Say your name
3. Give extra information
4. Say something pleasant

Example model 1 :
Eko is a new student in the class. The teacher asks him to introduce himself to the class.
Eko : Good morning everybody.
Student : Morning.
Eko : Well, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Eko Sudarmakiyanto, my friends call me Eko. I’m from Papua (Irian Jaya). Because of my father’s duty, my family moved here a couple of weeks ago. I live at Jln Raya Karangpucung-Ciraja, No.02 Cilacap.
Ica : Telephone number?
Eko : Thank, (0280) 6261-775. If you’d like to call me up personally you can dial my HP 085227545xxx. You may add my email ekosudarmakiyanto@yahoo.co.id as your friend on facebook, here my facebook address http://www.facebook.com/ekosmax or my twitter http://www.twitter.com/ekosmax You’ve got it, thanks. Err… being a new student and new comer in Cilacap, I’m not familiar with the habit, any places, etc. so, I’d be very delighted if you all like to help me. Well, I thing that’s all. Thank you very much.
