You sound very much like a non-native speaker. What you need is to appear confident, extrovert, easy-going, but also hardworking and dedicated at the same time. Start by introducing who you are and your connection to his team. Don't say things like "if my words offend you, please do forgive me" or "I am a sample and objective person" (what the hell does that suppose to mean anyway). As your priority, confidence should be emphasized throughout your introduction, which means that appropriate body language is much more important than what you like as a hobby. This is what you do: 1. Look him in the eye and greet him with "hello/good morning/good evening, etc," 2. Step forward and reach out to shake his hand 3. Then, you introduce your name: this is James/ My name is James/ I am James from XXX department". 4. You wait until he answers you in return. 5. pull up something about yourself but no more than 1 sentence, and nothing too personal, something about your work/position/responsibility in the company should be fine. 6. Explain to him what you do in the team, "I will be responsible for XXX/I will be working on XXX/I will be working closely with XXX. 7. It is nice meeting you in person and I look forward working with you in the future. Bear in mind: 1. Don't mention your English being poor, he/she will tell by how you speak. 2. Don't mention about offering constructive ideas, just do when you can. 3. Confidence comes before accent. Don't worry too much about your pronunciation as long as your have tried your best.

Hello Yuhua! I really like your first opening statement about not being a native English speaker. When I speak another language I always feel like starting off with that helps the other person have a little more patience and understanding when I make mistakes. However, talking about your goals at this meeting is also a good idea. Here's a sample suggestion of how you could word it. "Hi, I'm happy to meet you again. I'm not a native English speaker, so please forgive me if i make mistakes when speaking. Now that I'm part of your team, I really want to give my best effort to support your company. I also would like to mention that I feel I need more help and support in my work. I have some constructive ideas that I think can help business be done more efficiently after this merger." I hope that helps. I've worked with a lot of students on the topic of business English and I know it can be difficult, so I tried to not make it too complicated. I do have a question, though. Did you join this team because the company you worked for was bought by another company? If so, the term commonly used in English for that situation is "merger", that's why I used that instead of "combination". Also, about your comments on what sort of person you are, did you mean "simple and objective"?
