BEP 29 INT - Meetings: Disagreeing
In the previous episode (BEP 28) of this 2 part series, we looked at expressing agreement. We practiced four ways of agreeing: Using standard phrases, using synonyms, giving an example and making a general comment.
In this Business English Podcast, we’re going to focus on disagreement. We’ll learn different ways to disagree, from polite to strong.
As you’ll remember, the listening takes place in the R&D department of PharmaTek, a pharmaceutical company. Pharmaceutical means medicine (or drug). This meeting is between Gene, the head scientist, and Louis and Karina, two researchers. They are talking about the results of a new trial. Here, “trial” means “test” - the test of a new medicine on animals or patients. The new medicine is called Zorax.
