The usage of "about" in English
In my oral self-introduction, can I use “about”in the following way?
I know it is not acceptable in writing. But is it acceptable in informal conversation? (I'm not going to be interviewed and I just want to know the usage of "about" in English)Thanks for your help.
Good morning sir/madam, my name is Bob, from .
About my hobbies, I like playing chess and listing songs.
About my strengths, I am a good thinker and quick learner.
As to my family, my father is a government employee, and my mother a teacher.
That’s all about me sir.
