ビジネス英語ポッドへようこそ。今日はビジネス英語ポッドの始め方についてのレッスンです。 英語での会議.
Many jobs require us to spend a lot of time in meetings. Sometimes we might think there are too many meetings. ある程度, we might feel this way because a lot of meetings aren’t run very well or facilitated effectively.
There’s a good chance that you will have to run meetings some day, if you don’t already. You have a chance to make sure those meetings are effective by running the meeting well. 幸いにも, running a meeting involves skills that you can learn.
Today we’ll focus on starting a meeting, which begins with getting people’s attention and acknowledging them. 次, you might clearly state the purpose or goals of the meeting before reviewing the agenda with everyone. Then you may invite someone to begin speaking about the first item on the agenda.
このレッスンでは, we’ll hear the start of a meeting about budget cuts at an international shipping company. The meeting is being led by Martin, the General Manager. We’ll also hear Sandra, デビッド, and Sam, employees who are attending the meeting.
