 Telephone English tips

Do you know how to make and receive telephone calls in

English? Talking on the phone is more difficult than speaking
face-to-face, so improve your telephone tactics with these
useful expressions.

Who's calling please? This is a polite way to ask the name

of the caller.

I'd like to speak to... Use this phrase to give the name of the
person you want to speak to.

Speaking If you say "I'd like to speak to Shirley" and she is

the one who answered the phone, she would reply
"Speaking!", meaning This is Shirley speaking'.
Would you mind holding? If the line is busy, you should ask
if the caller is willing to wait for a few moments.

Would you like to leave a message? If the person you wish

to speak to is unavailable, the person answering the phone
can offer to take a message (write down the message) for
the caller.

Extension number You can use the extension number to get

through to individuals within a company.

I'll put you through to his office. Another way to say this is I'll
connect your call.

Sorry, you've dialed the wrong number. You might hear this
if you make a mistake and get through to the wrong person.
What does this sign mean?

Dear Mom and Dad,

How is everything back home? I’m having a great time

warmer here than in Canada; I’ll bet you already have snow

metrics, which are a set of indicators that performance should
be measured against.

Set a budget cost

Determine how much you anticipate the project will cost, and
set a budget cost at the start of the project. Later, you can
refine your budget and make it more detailed.

products that must be completed and delivered. Make sure they
are produced on time!

Negotiating in English 音標

In business, skilled negotiation can be the difference between

making a million dollar contract and being fired. Here are some
effective pointers to help you come out on top in the negotiation
process.

Starting on a positive
The people who you are negotiating with may be business
competitors. To have productive negotiations with competitors
it's important to set a positive tone early on, establishing that
you can both overcome your differences. For example, "The
United States and Russia, England and France, and Germany
and France are all former competitors who became allies. If
they could do it, so can we."

Dealing with unethical negotiators

It's possible that you'll come up against people who will try
every nasty negotiation trick in the book. Deal with such 黑板
音標
unethical behavior not by aggressive confrontation, but in a
dignified manner. For example, if you feel that you are being
lied to or deceived, you could say, "I've come to trust you
completely, but on this issue I sense some holding back."

Using effective questioning

Effective questioning forms the backbone of successful
negotiations. They give both sides an opportunity to gauge
each other's attitudes on key issues as well as set goals and
expectations. Asking open-ended questions early on will give
both sides an opportunity to gather this information. For
example, you could ask, "What are you hoping to achieve
today?“

Recovering from offending someone

Causing offense will happen at certain stages of the negotiation
process, so it's important to know how to recover from such 黑板 音標
incidents. One way to do so is to take the offensive comment
and put it in a positive light. For example, "If I seemed sharp a
few moments ago, be assured that it was only due to my
determination to make this work.“

Showing humility
Negotiations are a two-way communication, so it's a good idea
to avoid getting stuck in a series of, "I'm right, you're wrong,"
situations. Show humility and respect to the people you are
negotiating with, do not pretend to have all the answers, and
openly allow them to take control of some issues. For example,
"That's more your area of expertise than mine, so I'd like to
hear more.“

Recovering from negotiation breakdown

When negotiations break down due to anger, resentment or
simple unwillingness to listen, pay careful attention when
getting back to productive dialogue. Admitting mistakes and 黑板
音標
showing that you are still willing to proceed will help the
negotiations regain a more civil atmosphere. For example, you
could say, "What happened last week was unacceptable as it
was unintentional. Shall we move on?"

She is such a generous person. She cares _____ about the

money she spent to help her friends.
(A) much (B) something (C) anything (D) nothing

Don't bother to offer suggestions to him. His behavior is _____

criticism.

measures to improve quality control.

contract and talk with management. Then we'll

 Adventure novels have been the passion of teenagers for

Businesses Concerned about Possible Arrival of “Zero Profits” Era
Taipei, June 12 (CNA)
Many businesses have expressed concern that their minimal profit
margins could further dwindle over the next decade, with the
possible arrival of an era of “zero profits,” according to the results
of a survey released Tuesday.

The survey was conducted by 104 Job Bank, Global Views

Monthly and 30 Monthly on 1,058 business representatives from
May 21 – 25. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.21
percent.

Just over 80 percent of the respondents predicted that their

businesses will face a crisis of “profitless operations” by 2015.

This sense of crisis is most evident among small and medium

sized businesses with 20 – 100 employees, with 89 percent of
representatives of these businesses sharing this view.

 English for Business Meetings
Meetings are an important part of doing business. And if you're
in a multinational company, many of those meetings will be
conducted in English. Whether you're leading or just attending
one, be prepared with these phrases for each stage of a
business meeting:

Greeting/Opening
The structure of a meeting is usually the same, regardless of
the language. And meetings always start with a greeting! In
English, you'll use the more formal "Good morning" or "Good
afternoon" rather than "hello." Then, if you're leading the
meeting, you'll need to announce that the meeting is starting.
Example: "Good morning. It looks like everyone's here, so let's
get started."

State the Purpose

Next, you have to remind everyone what the purpose of the
meeting is, what business needs to be addressed. If you're in
charge, say: "We're here today to..." Other phrases you might
hear are: "Our goal today is..." or "I've called this meeting to..."
Then finish with a brief explanation. Example: "We're here
today to discuss last quarter's sales figures."

Review Past Business

Since meetings often deal with ongoing business, you have to
review old information before presenting new. This happens
when someone reads the minutes from the previous meeting.
Minutes are the official notes from a meeting. Before reading
the minutes say, "To begin, let's quickly go over the minutes
from our last meeting." "Go over" means to review something
and is commonly used in business.

Introducing the Agenda and Discussion

Now it's time to discuss new business! Usually, you'll follow a
list of discussion items called an "agenda." The meeting leader
will start by drawing everyone's attention to the agenda. They'll
say: "Please look at your copy of the agenda. There are xx
items on the list today. Let's start with number xx."

Then, the key to a successful meeting is keeping it moving

forward. When it's time to move onto the next topic, say, "Now
that we've discussed..., let's move on to..." "Move on" is
commonly used in business settings and means to leave one
topic and start another.

Finishing the Meeting

Finishing a meeting requires a few phrases: summarizing
everything that's been discussed, thanking everyone for
coming, and then dismissing the meeting. It's not hard, though!
To summarize, start with: "To sum up..." Example: "To sum up,
we've determined the sales figures could be better and
discussed solutions." Then, thank everyone for attending:
"Thank you all for attending/coming." Let everyone know it's
okay to leave with, "The meeting is finished." Finally, if there's a
follow-up meeting say, "We'll see everyone next..."

 To Cheer Someone Up (Part 1 of 5) 如何替人打氣呢？

Hilltop and valley experiences come into all our lives. When
we're down, a few words of encouragement make a big
difference. Often a smile or friendly "hello" is all that we need
to make us feel better. But sometimes it's hard to know what
to say to cheer someone else up. First of all, be sensitive.
Perhaps a sad friend just wants someone to listen. Let him
know you understand by giving gentle feedback like "hmm,"
"uh-huh" and "oh." Also try giving a suggestion that brings
laughter or leads to problem solving.

Conversation 1
Sharon: Hi, Joyce! Are the kids keeping you busy?
Joyce: Busy is hardly the word. Both kids have been sick all
week. Besides trips to the doctor, they've fussed
 about nap time and refused to eat!
Sharon: You must be exhausted!
Joyce: I'm so tired. Last night Bruce came home with a pile of
work from the office, so he was no help!
Sharon: I know it's tough. Hang in there. Let me order a pizza
for you tonight. Have Bruce feed the kids while you
take a long, relaxing bath.
Joyce: Thanks. I'd really like that.

To Cheer Someone Up (Part 3 of 5)

When the situation is more serious, active listening is called for.

Ask questions that help your friend sort out his feelings. Give
affirmation and support. Think of saying what you'd like to hear
in the other person's place. Rather than focusing on the
negative points in the situation, help him look to the future with
a positive attitude.

Kaye: Hi, Peggy! Why are you looking so down today?
Peggy: Oh, Kaye! (sob) Tom broke our date for Saturday,
and he's asked Jane to the dance.
Kaye: That's awful! I know you thought he was special.
Peggy: Yes, I did. But now I'm hurt and angry.
Kaye: I don't blame you. I'd feel that way, too. He'll wake up
one day and realize what a jerk he was. But look on
the bright side. There are other fish in the sea.
Peggy: I guess you're right.

To Cheer Someone Up (Part 4 of 5)

Many people avoid visiting someone who is in the hospital

because they don't know what to say. Taking flowers or a
cheery balloon gives something to start the conversation. It
also serves as a reminder that you care. You might want to
share news of friends and the workplace or tell about a funny
happening. Remember to keep your visit short so the patient
can rest. Often the fact that you were there is more important
than what you said during your visit.

 Taking trains to different cities is one of my favorite
pastimes. I live in Taipei, so I go to Taipei Train Station to
catch the trains to other cities. I enjoy taking trips by train
because when I am on a train I can watch the view on both
sides of the railroad. It’s not too fast like MRT. It’s not too
slow like the bus. It’s not as dangerous as riding a
motorcycle. It’s not as tiring as driving. I always take a
round-island trip by train during the summer vacation.

Many people like to go to foreign countries for touring,

but to me all the specialties in different cities and towns
around this island are just as interesting. My plan is to visit
every town and city in Taiwan. I started this plan when I was
18 and I have visited about 10 town s a year since then. So
far, I have only visited thirty-two. When I am done, I will write
a book on traveling in Taiwan.

 CHARACTERISTICS of Beavers

The beaver is usually about 76 cm (about 30 in) long and stands

less than 30 cm (12 in) high. The broad, flat, scaly tail is about 25
cm (about 10 in) long and serves as a warning signal when
slapped against the water, as a support when the beaver is
standing on its hind legs, and as a rudder while swimming. The
body is plump, the back arched, the neck thick, the hind feet
webbed, and all the digits clawed. The fur is usually reddish-brown
above and lighter or grayish below. The eyes are small and the
nostrils closable. The two front teeth on either jaw, which can cut
down large trees, are like those of other rodents. It can fell trees
with diameters as large as 76 cm (30 in). Beavers have a pair of
anal scent glands that secrete a musk like substance, probably for
marking territories. The animals tend to be monogamous and may
live 20 years or more. The female has one litter a year, usually of
two to four young.

 Telephone English tips
The airline lost your baggage. The hotel laundry ruined your
favorite shirt. The taxi driver overcharged you. When you're
abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do
something about it! Use these tips when you want to express
an effective complaint in English.

No matter how unfair the situation, it's best to phrase your

complaint politely. In English, you'll sound more polite if you
use indirect language. Here are some examples:

I'm sorry to bother you ...

Starting a complaint with "I'm sorry to bother you" puts the
listener ?who may have heard many complaints that day ?at
ease. Use this phrase if the situation isn't that serious. For
example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked
potato, not fries."
Can you help me with this?
Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than
told! So try phrasing your complaint as a request for help:
"Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the
laundry missing buttons.“

I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding.

This is a polite way of saying, "Your information is wrong.
Please fix it now." You'll most likely use this phrase if you
made reservations for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when
you arrive, it's not what you expected. For instance, "I'm
afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-
smoking room.“

I understand it's not your fault ...

Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person
who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the
problem isn't your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when
you need swift action. Tell the person you're dealing with you
understand they're not at fault and then directly state the
problem: "I understand it's not your fault, but the airline
promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday.“

Excuse me, but I understood that ...

Using this phrase lets the person know you're well-informed
and are suspicious they might be trying to take advantage of
you. Don't say, "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead,
start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: "I
understood that the taxi ride to the airport was only 25
dollars." Then give them an opportunity to respond.
