BEP 126 – 英語會議: 討論問題 (1)

商務英語, 會議英語, ESL 播客, 中級英語 / 二月 28, 2009

召開會議的最常見原因之一就是解決問題. 會議可能是執行此操作的好地方, 因為具有不同經驗和觀點的各種人可以共同努力找出問題並提出可能的解決方案.

但, 雖然我們可能有合適的人參加會議, 該過程經常有缺陷，因為沒有明確地提出和回答一個問題: “問題是什麼?「所以, 在今天的節目中，我們將重點討論如何透過討論來定義問題，然後將問題重新表述為挑戰. 在本系列的第二部分中, 我們將研究如何評估和消除建議，然後就行動計劃達成一致.

我們會聽凱瑟琳的, 一家中型公司的人力資源主管, 誰正在與部門主管開會討論公司所有部門員工士氣低落的問題. 士氣是用來形容整體感覺或情緒的詞.

凱瑟琳希望每個人都考慮公司士氣低落的可能隱藏原因. 我們將看到她如何幫助參與者專注於解決士氣問題. 對話框開始時, 凱瑟琳請大家注意並開始會議.

聽力問題:

1) 凱瑟琳等人看到的表面問題是什麼?
2) 小組決定什麼是這個問題的真正原因?
3) 對話結束時小組面臨的挑戰是什麼?

Business travelers can’t always get where they need to go by catching a plane or taking a taxi. Sometimes we need our own means of transport, and that usually means renting a car. 所以, in this ESL播客 we’ll cover language you can use when choosing a car, discussing features and clarifying insurance options.

在最後一集中 (BEP 124 – Checking our of a Hotel), we met Honesto Salvador and Alan Chan, who have just finished attending a training program sponsored by their company in Boston. They’ve just arrived now at Logan Airport, where they need to rent a car for their upcoming trip to New Haven.

當你聽, pay attention to the language they use to ask about vehicle types, standard features, extras and insurance options.

3. Why does Honesto not need extra insurance?
