Min Min, Love the site. Can you please tell me if there is any correct formal way to introduce ones self within the Chinese Culture. Say you would be at a Rotary Style or a class, meeting for the first time and comes the time to introduce ones self to the members/class of who you are , what you do, your family detail and general information ie good Morning, my name is … my job is…. I live in… my hobbies are and etc. It hard to believe but it happens you freeze to know what to say. If there is a format I could create a script to learn and rattle it off when asked.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is ……
I am…… years old. I was born in…… province/Beijing, northeast/southeast/southwest…… of china, and I am currently a freshman（大一新生）/sophomore（大二学生）/junior（大三学生）/senior（大四学生） student at Capital Institute of Physical Education.
After that, you can proceed with what you want to tell others about yourself.
Hi Min Min
doesn’t this word for biography have a fourth tone all the time? The tone for the common words seems ok.
Regards
Art chen
Hi Art chen,
Thanks for correcting the error. I have changed it to the fourth tone.

Hi stevemillarband,
I google the keyword “自我介绍” and I found this may what you are looking for:

Just like English, you can start self-introduction with greetings, like 大家好，早上好, and some brief intro about yourself:
上午好/下午好/晚上好！我的名字叫……。
我今年……岁，出生在……省/北京，它位于中国的东北/东南/西南……等部。我目前是首都体育学院大一/大二/大三/大四的学生。
Good morning/afternoon/evening, my name is ……
I am…… years old. I was born in…… province/Beijing, northeast/southeast/southwest…… of china, and I am currently a freshman（大一新生）/sophomore（大二学生）/junior（大三学生）/senior（大四学生） student at Capital Institute of Physical Education.
