商务英语中级情景口语:合作关系
Dialogue1
A:Mr Hughes? Do you have a minute?I would like to discuss something with you.
B:What can I do for you?
A:I was wondering,I have heard many of my co-wokers that your knowledge and experience in international markets is phenomenal. Also, I’ve heard the rumor that you speak fluent Janpanese. Is that right?
B:Yes,that’s right.I do speak decent Janpanese.
A:Right now I’m working on a product launch project to open up our Asian market. We have several upcoming events to take place for the Japanese cities. We ’ll be heading to Tokyo next month to get things started. What I would like to talk to you about is joining our team to help bring this project to completion.
B:Excatly what kind of help did you have in mind?
A:We aer looking for someone who is familiarwith the market and curtural issues to act as an advisor to our marketing staff. We would like to set up a partership,where we can help each other.
B:So if I can help you as a consultant,what is in for me?
A:We could give you an oncite office,as well as potential to develop your own contracts in Japan.At the same time, after helping with our project, we will be willing to split our profit with you.
B:What kind of arrangement are you thinking about?
A:You would have a share of 30% of our profits from the launch events. So,what do you say,are you willing to work with us?
B:It sounds like a great offer ,give me a little time to think it over ,and I will get back to you by the end of the week.
DIALOGUE2
A:I heard that now you are working hand in hand with Michalsen Labs.How is the marriage of your firms working out?
B:It is not a match made in heaven ,but we are trying to make it work. In the beginning ,everyone was really gung-ho about our two teams working togeiher. After all,Michalsen has got a lot of resource that we don’t normally have access to. But I think our honeymoon period was over after thet started making some very unfair demands for our staff.
A:What kind of demands?
B:They aren’t willing to shoulder the burden equally. Partnership should mean both of our teams contribute equally. But they are not willing to get 100%,for example,they expect our team to put in over nearly everyday. But htay are out of the door at 5:30 everyay.
A:That doesn’t seem very fari. Did you discuss how the workload was going to be divvied up before you agreed on partnership?
B:See ,that is ont of the problems. We jumpped into this relationship too soon. So there are lots of things that are not clearly spelled out. Like responbility and profits sharing.
A:That is a dangerous situation. You have got to put everything in writing up front,or else later on,you could have some bad feeling between the two companies if the expectation is too different. It is on good to have bad blood between you afterwards.
B:You are right.
商务英语中级情景口语:简历
Dialogue 1
A: Could you do me a favor and proofread my resume before I send it out to the human recources department?
B: Sure, let me take a look... Personal Information, Education, Experience, Training... I think you should add another section for language. You speak three languages, so you might as well put that on your resume.
A: But languages don't have anything to do with engineering. Shouldn't everything I put on my resume have something to do with my field?
B: Not necessarily. I think people would be impressed by your language abilities. It says something about your level of intellect and experience. Also, I think human resources directors want to see more of a well-rounded person in a resume.
A: It's just a piece of paper, you think that they can tell if I am a well-rounded person by looking at it?
B: Well, you're right, the resume is limited in how much it can tell someone about a person. That's why job interviews are important to let people know the real you that they can't see from a piece of paper. But resumes can be helpful in explaining things and giving a good impression to a potential employer.
Dialogue 2
A: Let's review the CVs we received last week for our vacancy in the financial department. What have you got?
B: Take a look at this one... Experience, three years in accounting for a large marketing firm, before that she worked entry level in banking management. Looks pretty impressive. What do you think?
A: Her education background is also quite outstanding. She graduated with her Bachelor's degree from Harvard in Finance, later got a master's degree from Stanford. Looking just at that, I'd say she's qualified.
B: Maybe a little overqualified... She might have higher salary expectations. Also, she hasn't listed any personal information. We don't know her marital status, whether or not she has children. Why, she didn't even put her birth date on the CV! No picture either...
A: Oh, didn't you know? She's an American. Generally Americans will not put those types of personal statistics on their CVs. That's the difference between a CV and a resume.
B: Why don't they put those vital statistics on their resumes?
A: Because America has many laws to ensure equality and prevent discrimination, Americans are not required or even expected to put information of such a personal nature on their resumes. The purpose is to prevent discrimination in hiring based on age, gender, or marital status.
B: Oh, I didn't know that.
A: An American employer would never even ask for a photo on a resume.
商务英语中级情景口语:求职面试
Dialogue 1
A: Hello Mr. Jones, please have a seat. Thank you for coming in today. I have read your resume. You completed University in England?
B: Yes, I went to Cambridge. After graduation, I started right away into the advertising industry. Later, I made a bit of a switch to focus on marketing research.
A: So, what experience do you have?
B: I have ten years marketing experience. This includes both entry level and management positions. In my last position, I worked my way up to being director of the markeing department.
A: I can see that from your resume. Your last position was marketing director for a pharmaceutical company, is that right? Later, why did you decide to leave your former post?
B: I felt after five years in one place, I was ready for something new. I would like to have a job that is challenging, something that I can see and do new things every day. I loved many things about my former job, and I left with amiable feelings on both sides. I was just ready for something new.
A: I see. Do you want to work full-time or part-time?
B: I would rather work full-time.
A: I'll make note of that. Now, what are your salary expectations?
B: I am willing to negotiate, but I expect at least $40,000 a year.
Dialogue 2
A: Thanks for coming in on such short notice. Did you find our studio okay?
B:Oh, yes, it was very easy to find with the directions you gave me.
A: Good. Well, let's get right into your interview. We're looking for someone who will be able to work on a part-time basis only.
B: That's no problem. I can work either part-time or full-time, but I actually prefer something part-time.
A: Tell me a litter bit about your qualifications. We've already had over fifty applicants for this position. What sets you apart from all the other candidates?
B: I think something I can offer that is different from everyone else is that I can speak several languages fluently. I have experience in intercultural communication, and I can help your station to reach a wider audience.
A: Have you ever worked in broadcasting before ?
B: I have done some work in print media, but this will be the first time to do broadcast media. Even though it is new for me, I learn really quickly. I have confidence I can get the hang of things in no time at all.
A: Would you mind giving us a demo right now?
B: No problem! I'd be happy to.
商务英语中级情景口语:劳动力中的妇女
Dialogue 1
A: Do you think discrimination against women in the work force is still prevalent even today ?
B: From my own experience as a career woman, I would have to say that while things are better now than they used to be. It is still a widespread problem. Society is changing, but there is still a glass ceiling for women in many career tracks.
A: Do you think the glass ceiling phenomena is because of traditional social customs? Or are there more issues coming into play?
B: I think it's a very complicated issue. A part of the difficulties women have advancing in the work force are due to few opportunities and many male managers. Don't underestimate the good ole' boy system. Men have power, so it's easier for them to stay in power.
A: What about affirmative action? Hasn't legislation changed a lot of the male hierarchy?
B: Affirmative action has given us management quotas and bans sexual discrimination, but it's still a man's world.
Dialogue 2
A: I am totally fed up with my boss. He has crossed the line one too many times with his sexist comments. This time I am really going to report him for sexual harassment.
B: What happened? Did your boss say something to offened you at work?
A: He constantly lets inappropriate things slip out, referring to the women employees as “girls” or calling us “sweetheart” or “darling”. I doubt any of my male colleagues would stand for such treatment.
B: Don't you think you're overreacting a little? Calling you by nicknames shouldn't be so bad...
A: Yor're missing the point. It's about respect. He treats us with such a patronizing attitude, as if we are not equal or not as serious as our male co-workers. It's his attitude that needs to be changed, not just his words.
B: That's what you get for working in a male-dominated field. I think you'll find that most male bosses in your industry are already conditioned to treat females in this way. You probably won't be able to change him.

F: Did you get it into our legal counsel Mr Devis? He knows about this, right?
M: Yes, as soon as I got notice, I contacted him right away, he's suposed to be comging into office now.
F: When is the hearing scheduled?
M: In two weeks' time. I hope that Mr Devis has time to make a good defense.
F: Perhaps it wont't even make it to trial, if we're lucky, the judge would dismiss the case in the prenominated hearing, that would save us a fortune in legal fees.
M: If it does go to trial, I'm afaid the prosecution would have a head day marking our company through the press, there could be a lot stake. Where is Mr Devis?
F: I'm sure he's on his way, maybe he's rounding up some witnesses for us now.
Dialogue 2
M: Miss Hubble, as your legal counsel, I want to advise you against making any statements to the press about the trial, it could be very damaging to our case.
F: Mr Lawrence, I appreciate your advice, I know you're good lawer, but I want to prove to the people I'm innocent.
M: Talking to the press won't prove anything, proving your innocent is my job, we can work up good case to withstand the prosecution, other than a few witnesses who gave comforting tesimonies, they don't have any substential evidence against you.
F: Do I have to take the stand tommorrow?
M: Yes, you're scheduled to take this stand, remember, you will be under oath, be careful not to make any misstatements, they could ditch you for perjury.

中级商务英语情景口语:合同
Dialogue 1
A: Did you go over the contract with our supplier? They drafted a new contract after we changed our pricing agreement last summer. Nothing has been signed yet, we only have a verbal agreement so far.
B: I saw the contract before it wen to our legal department. It seemed really detailed this time. I guess they want to make sure we don't leavey any loopholes.
A: I am glad we have our legal team to review it. The legal jargon in all the clauses make my head spin!
B: Mine too! But it's important to have a detailed and specific contract in case there are disagreements that arise later. If there is a problem, we can just go back to what's on the paper. It's a good way to protect us, and them.
A: Sometimes I really long for the time when a man's word was good enough.
B: That time doesn't exist anymore. If you don't have it in writing, then it's your word against theirs. Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on!
A: I guess you're right!
Dialogue 2
A: Can you help me make sense of this contract? I don 't quite understand this phrase....
B: Let me see, “The two undersigned are in agreement to the following terms. Party A shall be responsible for furnishing Party B with materials as follows.” Well, that's a pretty complicated way to say you both agree to something and sign your names to certify.
A: So if I sign here, that makes me Party A, right?
B: Yes. Then you have to abide by all the requirements listed in this contract for Party A.
A: What about what is says here, “Terms and conditions of this agreement are void in the case of natural disaster or acts of God.”
B: That means unless something very big happens, like an earthquake or a tsunami, you will be bound to the contract and can't get out of it.
A: That serious, huh?
B: Sounds like it. Before you sign this contract, I would go over it with a fine-tooth comb if I were you. Make sure it's what you want.
A: Good idear. I'll probably have to get a dictionary!

年商务英语中级情景口语:客户服务
D1
A: Excuse me.
B: Yes, sir. How may I be of service?
A: I would like to return this item. Are refunds allowed?
B: Certainly, the customer is always right. We are here to serve you. Is there a reason that you would like to return it? Do you have problems with our product or services?
A: No, no. It was just the wrong size.
B: Would you be interested in an exchange as opposed to a refund? I think I can help you to find the appropriate size.
A: No. I would rather just return it.
B: Sure, no problem. Do you happen to have the receipt?
A: Yeah, right here.
B: Ok, just a moment, please. Here you are. I need you to sign here, please. And here is your refund. Is there anything else I can help you with?
A: No, thank you.
B: You’re welcome. Have a nice day!
A: According to our customer training the other day, the main principle of keeping people happy in this service industry is: under promise and over deliver.
B: So what does that mean?
A: It just means to manage your customers’ expectations. Don’t promise them something you are not going to come through on. And if you deliver more than you promise, they are sure to be satisfied.
B: So how did you solve problems when the customers are not satisfied. How do you deal with complaints?
A: You have to deal with complaints sensitively, and try to understand where they are coming from. Always appologize and take the blame, because the customer is always right. Then figure out what is the least expensive way to mitigate the problem. For example, if they were upset with the food, you can offer an upgrade. That’s a less expensive solution than a full refund.
B: Anything else you should do?
A: Don’t give them a dead end to their questions. When the customer ask you a question, never just say: I don’t know or we can’t help you. The best kind of response helps customers find the answers they are looking for. Always try to help them solve their problems. You can say: I don’t know, but I can help you find the answer, or we can’t help you here, but I know who can.

B: I didn't talk to the editor, I didn't think it's necessary to talk to her. But I did converse with the person we usually go through in sales. She said that would be no problem with missing the deadline as long as we got a final to her before Thurseday. Because we are long-standing customer, they've already got ad space reserved for us.
A: It's a full page A4 ad in tri-color, right?

You can use either your own designers or if it is more than convenient for you, we have a team of inhouse graphic designers that can put something together for you.
B: That won't be necessary, we already have the image.If we run a full page ad in your Fall edition on a nomal gloss paper, tri-color, what do you think that will run me ?

Brainstorming
Dialogue 1
A: Have you thought up any good ideas for our business proposal?
B: I haven't come up with anything good yet. Somehow my brain isn't functioning today.
A: Maybe you should take a break, you've been sitting at your computer for three hours trying to put something together. No wonder your mind isn't very sharp now.
B: I came up with a few different thoughts on the proposal, but now I've completely run out of ideas.
A: Maybe we can shelve the proposal for a while while you brainstorm.
B: We could do that, but I hate to put everything on hold.
A: You're right, it's no good to have things up in the air for too long.
Dialogue 2
A: We've got to come up with a way to solve this problem! No one is getting all their work done during the work day. We need to do some brainstorming to come up with a time-management solution for our office.
B: Well, what do you suggest? It's not that we are all wasting a lot of time. Fact is, we're understaffed. People just have too much to do.
A: So you think we should hire some new people? That is one possible solution. What else could be the problem?
B: Maybe we do have some problems with time-management. If people were always on time to work, they might get more done in the morning before lunch.
A: That's true. Also, maybe we could shorten the lunch break from one hour to forty five minutes. That would add a little time to everyone's day.
B: Fifteen minutes would be good, but I wonder if it would make a big impact on the employees' output. I still think it's a problem with too much workload.
A: We ended up right where we started. Maybe it is time to look for some temp workers to help with a few projects. That would lighten everyone's load.
