Could you say that again?” This is useful when you don’t hear clearly or when someone speaks too fast. 然後, in the second podcast (BEP 35), we’ll be looking at language for clarifying what was meant, for instanceWhat exactly do you mean by that?”

The listening today is from a shipping company. You’ll hear Wim Zeldenhuis and Andre De Vries in Rotterdam call their American colleague Benny McClenahan in Boston.

BEP 33 – 英語演講: 關閉 & 總結

This lesson has been updated – 在這裡查看改進的課程.

在今天的商務英語播客課程中, 我們將著眼於總結並總結您的 presentation in English.

就像我們之前提到的 BEP 101 (單擊此鏈接收聽播客), 強有力的介紹對讓聽眾有傾聽的理由很重要. 相似地, 一個強有力的結論對於給觀眾留下深刻的印象並給他們清楚的信息說明採取什麼行動非常重要。.

So what structure should you use to close down an English presentation? 我們建議這種簡單的格式:

1. 向聽眾明確表示您將要完成的信號.
2. 簡要總結您的演講要點.
3. State your recommendation or give your call to actionlet your audience know what you want them to do.
4. 通過感謝您的聽眾並邀請問題或討論來結束.

在今天的聆聽中,我們將探索這種格式. 聆聽在Harper-Tolland進行, 全球主要的特殊用途鋼生產商. 去年,Harper-Tolland推出了新產品線,但在歐洲的銷售業績令人失望. 尼古拉斯·菲舍爾, Harper-Tolland的新區域銷售總監, 已被雇用來解決問題. 他只是在結束一個正在討論他的提案的演示文稿.
