Here is my code for that: 

string entry; 
Console.Write("What is your name?:"); 
entry = Console.ReadLine(); 
Console.WriteLine(entry);

Console.WriteLine(); Prints text to the screen and makes the next text on a new line.

Console.Write(); Same as Console.WriteLine(); but the next text will be on the same line.

Console.ReadLine(); Gets input from the user and returns it in a string value.
