[English Study] The Etiquette of Introductions

Introductions are important, and there are different rules for different situations. Generally speaking, when making introductions, try to say the most important person's name first. For instance, you should say, "Mr. President, pleas allow me to introduce Jon Smith."

In social situations, introductions are usually made according to age, then gender, and then social status. To introduce your friend Sally to someone older, you would say, "Mr. Jones, this is my friend Sally." However, to introduce Sally to someone of the same age, you would say, "Sally, let me introduce you to Ken."

In business situations, it is polite to make introductions to the client first; for example, "Mr. Brown, please let me introduce you to our marketing manager, Deb Jones. Deb, this is Mr. Brown, our client at ABC Technology."
