A2, 商務英語, 客戶服務, 中級英語, 電話英語, 旅行 / 行進 8, 2008

Booking tickets on the phone is a basic part of business travel. 在這個 intermediate Business English Podcast, we will practice useful phrases and language for making travel arrangements on the telephone.

Viva is an Italian manufacturer of ladies’ apparel, or clothing. Marco and Francesca, Viva employees, are on a business trip. After visiting customers in the UK, they are now heading to Las Vegas in the United States to meet with their American distributor – the company that sells their product there. Marco calls a travel agent to book tickets for them.

聽力問題

1) When does Marco want to leave and when does he want to return? Will he and Francesca be flying first class, business class or economy?
2) Does Marco ask the travel agent to “hold the fare” or does he pay for it immediately?
3) Does Marco need to pick up his and Francesca’s tickets at the travel agent’s office?

BEP 72 – 打電話: 語音信箱留言

A2, 商務英語, ESL 播客, 中級英語, 電話英語 / 十一月 10, 2007

當你打電話給某人但他們不在時, 通常是他們的語音信箱 “拿起” 或接聽電話. 那你必須留言. 任何在工作中使用電話的人都必須處理語音郵件.

您是否曾經開始在某人的語音信箱上留言, 然後當你聽到 “嘟” 聲音, 你不知道該說什麼? 當你說外語時, 沒有準備就說話可能會很困難, 尤其是當您看不到或聽不到與您交談的人時. 但只要稍加練習, 你將成為語音信箱專家.

這就是我們將在商務英語課程中學習的內容 – 語音郵件訊息的標準短語和語言, 這樣下次來這裡的時候 “嘟” 你會確切地知道該說什麼.

首先我們來聽一個不好的例子. 賈斯汀·托馬斯 (Justin Thomas) 為一家名為 Trivesco 的航運經紀人工作. 經紀人是 “中間商” – 在這種情況下，賈斯汀是一個 “新建築物” 經紀人, 這意味著他幫助人們買賣新船. 賈斯汀正在給西爾維·彼得森打電話, Schmidt and Larsen 造船公司經理. 在第二個例子中，我們聽到賈斯汀的同事, 馬克蘭德, 留下更專業的留言.

聽力問題 (好消息)

1) 馬克·蘭德希望與西爾維談論什麼?
2) 他什麼時候可以接西爾維的電話?
3) 馬克如何對資訊做出積極的總結?

商務英語, ESL 播客, 中級英語, 電話英語 / 十月 21, 2007

This lesson has been updated in anew series: BEP 69A Redux & BEP 69B Redux.

人們很忙. When you telephone people, they often aren’t there to take your call, so you need to leave a message. And almost everyone has to answer the telephone and take a message sometimes. Doing so professionally leaves a good impression on your customers, colleagues and boss.

Today we will hear a bad example and a good example of taking and leaving a telephone message.

Justin Thomas is with Trivesco, a major shipyard, or maker of ships. He is calling Sylvie Peterson at Daneline, a shipping company. Sylvie is a sales and purchase (S&磷) 經紀人. A broker is a middleman or negotiator. Sylvie specializes in negotiating the purchase of “newbuildings” or newly built ships. Amy, 接待員, answers the phone.

聽力問題

不好的例子
1) Does Amy answer the phone professionally?
2) Is Justin prepared?

好的例子
1) How does Amy answer the phone?
2) What is Mark calling about?
3) How does Amy make sure that she has got Mark’s correct phone number?
