欢迎回到Business English Pod，今天的课程 社会化at an office party.
Office parties can be fun, but have you ever stood there with a colleague and felt like you don’t know what to say? Maybe you’ve got a great working relationship, but outside the office it feels like a different game? 实际上, good working relationships are supported by good personal relationships. The more we know our co-workers, the better our work can be. And the office party can be a great chance to get to know them better and build that relationship.
所以, how do we do that? What are some techniques for socializing at office parties? 在今天的课程中, we’ll look at paying, or giving, someone a compliment, declining a drink, and gossiping. We’ll also learn how to change the topic and introduce two people who haven’t met before.
在对话框中, 我们会听到琥珀, who works for a pharmaceutical company. At a company Christmas party she runs into one of her colleagues Max. Max and Amber chat for a while before Finn, a new colleague of Amber’s, shows up on the scene.
听力问题
1. What compliment does Amber give to Max? 2. What reason does Amber give for not wanting a drink? 3. Max and Amber are talking about work colleagues when Amber changes the topic. What topic does she ask about?
办公室聚会是在正常工作环境之外结识同事的绝好机会. 除了, 俗话说, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But have you ever found yourself at a party, 手喝, 一直不确定如何进行对话? 也许您正在与其他部门的人见面. 你眼神交流, 微笑, 然后什么? 你说什么?
