BEP 28c – الاجتماعات باللغة الإنجليزية: How to Agree
مرحبًا بك مرة أخرى في اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال. Today’s lesson is the first in a series about agreeing and disagreeing. This is part of a broader project to take another look at some of our older lessons.
Success in business can depend on how your opinions align with other people’s ideas. لهذا السبب, agreeing and disagreeing are essential communication skills. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the board room, the meeting room, or the staff room, you need to know how to agree and disagree effectively.
اليوم, we’re going to focus on agreeing. في الحقيقة, there are many ways to agree with someone! Sometimes we want to use a short expression. Sometimes we need something longer and more polite. Sometimes we want to show energy and enthusiasm. And sometimes we want to use an example or repeat someone else’s idea. It really depends on the situation.
في حوار اليوم, we’ll hear a conversation between three people who work for a pharmaceutical, or drug company. Gene, Louis, and Carina are talking about the results of a new trial for a drug called Zorax. في حديثهم, they use many different expressions for agreeing.
أسئلة الاستماع
