are closer to you than your teacher, so you would introduce your parents
to the teacher.
2. You should be between yourself and the two people you are introducing.
Stand about an arm's length away from each.
3. Show enthusiasm about the situation and use a pleasant
voice.
4. Use last names when appropriate.
5. Say, "Mrs. Turner, I'd like to introduce you to my mother."

Turner. Mrs. Turner, this is my mom."

are introducing the two. "Jim, this is Mr. Taylor, my P. E. teacher
and baseball coach this year."
