Cultural Notes

In English speaking countries, the given name (or the

first name, often called Christian name) of a person is placed

before the surname (the family name or the last name). For

example, David Brown, Brown is the surname and David is the

given name. Many people also have a middle name but they do

not often use it except in certain contexts. Direct personal

questions such as "What's your name?" and "How old are

you?" are usually only asked by officials or public servants on

formal occasions. In everyday life. however , people tend to use

more polite expressions such as "Can 1 have your name,

please?" or "Could you please tell me your home address?".

Notice that questions about a person's (especially a woman's)

age and income are not usually asked, for they are considered

to be private matters, therefore it is impolite to ask these ques-

tions.

Training focus: understanding personal information and

practising note-taking

Situation: Dr. Dover interviewing a tutor candidate for

her son

Pre-listening

Exercise 1 is a pre-listening activity. Start by asking the

students what personal infonnation usually includes. Elicit

some useful expressions of asking about this kind of informa-

tion. And then let the students work in pairs to discuss and

write down more such expressions. Summarise these expres-

sions in the end by asking the students to read their lists and

also by referring to the following list.

Asking someone's name:

--Are you Mr. Black?

--Can you tell me your name?

-What's your name (family name, full name)?

-May 1 have your name?

-Could you give me your name, please, Sir?

-May 1 know your name?

--Would you give me your name?

--Sorry, what did you say the name was?

Asking someone's age:

--How old are you?

--What's your age?

--Are you 20 years old?

--May 1 have your age?

--Could you please tell me your age?

--Do you mind telling me your age?

--May 1 have your date of birth?

Asking someone's hometown:

--Where is your hometown?

--Where do you come from?

--Where are you from?
