Here are some ideas to help you.A: Lanlan,morning, our manager asked us to carry out market research for the new brand of cosmetic.B: Yes, what do you think of it? What methods can we use?A: I think face-to-face questionnaire, telephoning and interview are the most effective research methods.

So their opinions will be valuable.A: Ok. That’s settled.At the Frankfurt Exposition, Mr. Black shows interest in men’s shirts and jeans and is inquiring about them.

What time is your flight?B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off.

They have expanded and are doing better than theywere last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.A: Why would you say that?B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.B: Have you ever been to Japan?A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.BEC英语情景对话:工作午餐The working lunchDialogue 1A: Excuse me, Don? I hate to bother you, but I need your help on something. Do you have time to brief me on the Martin account today?B: Oh, that's right. You are supposed to deliver a brief on that account tomorrow.

Things are really busy for me today, the only time I can manage to squeeze out might be over lunch break....A: I hate to make you work through your lunch break with how busy you are....B: It's okay.... I've already had several days in a row working through lunch....A: How about this.... We can make it a working lunch this afternoon, and I'll order some Chinese food for delivery.

I'll cater to your taste.B: Actually I do like Chinese.... Let's make it a date for Chop Suey and the Martin account at about 12:30. Does that sound good?A: Great. I'll bring the food.Dialogue 2A: For our lunch meeting with the investors, do we have to make a reservation at the restaurant or do we just show up?B: Usually for lunch, we don't have to reserve a table, they should allow walk-ins. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a table for half-past twelve. Will that suit your schedule?A: I've arranged to meet them at the restaurant at twelve. Can you make the reservation a little earlier? If we start earlier, it will give us more time for a longer lunch.B: Are you planning on treating the investors to a full-course meal?A: Yes, we'll start with appetizers, follow with a soup and salad course, then main dishes of prime rib or cordon bleu chicken, and finish up with a delicious rich dessert of some sort.B: That'll be pretty heavy for a mid-day meal, don't you think?A: As along as we stay away from anything alcoholic, we should be okay.B: With your prime rib and chicken choices, you'd better hope nobody's vegetarian.A: We can make some special arrangement if we need to.

The meeting is set to start at 9 am.B: He's late again. Traffic is probably holding him up. You know, he commutes from the suburbs. It's not easy commuting every day. We should cut him some slack.A: Even though the trafic is bumper-to-bumper out there, I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late. He takes the train, remember?B: Oh, that's right. Well, the train shouldn't be late. That means there is only one explanation.... Bill must have overslept.A: Well, to be fare, since he's coming all the way from Lancaster, he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us. He must get start on his commute about 6:30, no telling what time he actually gets up.B: That's right, because he's got to get to the train station from his house, then take the blue line into the city, then switch trains to the red line. In all, the trip's got to take more than 2 hours.A: Why doesn't he just drive to work?B: It's too difficult to park your car in the city. Also, the traffic coming in from the suburbs is a nightmare.Dialogue 2A: I can't wait until my car is repaired. The commuting with public transportation is killing me.B: It can't be that bad.A: But it is! Take this morning for example. The subway was so packed this morning, I got totally squished by about a hundred busy commuters on the way to work.B: At least the subway is better than the bus. It's faster for one thing. And usually less crowded. But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus. It adds up over time, if you take it every day.A: That's true. The bus is even worse. Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired! Hey, how do you get to work every day?B: I ride my bike. I don't live too far away, so it's pretty convenient. it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office.A: I'll bet it's good exercise, too...a good way to keep fit.B: Yes, not only a good way to keep in shape, but a good way to relieve stress as well. While you're stressed out by your commute, I'm releasing all the stress of the day with mine.BEC英语情景对话:集体讨论BrainstormingDialogue 1A: 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 fortoo long.Dialogue 2A: 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.。

In fact it was so popular that manufacturers started building skateboards and they even put together teams to promote their early skateboards.Nick: Wow! Sounds like skateboarding was becoming a big thing!Vanessa: Actually it became so big that in 1965 the international championships were broadcast on national TV.Nick: Why are most people under the impression that skateboarding took off in the 70’s, when commercial skateboards hit the market?Vanessa: Probably because its popularity dropped in 1966 and remained low until the early 70’s?Nick: You might be right!Vanessa: Or you might have probably associated its popularity with the development of equipment specially designed for skateboarding.Nick: Technological advances did their trick too!Vanessa: They certainly did!

2-1 机场迎宾Greetings at the AirportA: Excuse me, sir; is this Prof. Tallack from London?B: Yes, I’m George Tallack from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. You must be Miss Dai, if I’m not mistaken.A: Yes, I’m Dai Jiajia, manager of Human Resources, the Haitong Group. I have been expecting you, Prof. Tallack.B: Thank you for coming to meet me at the airport. This is a fantastic airport, absolutely one of the top-notch international airports.A: I’m very glad to have the pleasure of meeting you in my hometown.

I really appreciate this opportunity, which is also an opportunity for me to learn about Chinese enterprises at a close distance.A: How was the trip? It must be very tiring, flying for more than10 hours.B: Not too bad. But we were later than expected. Our plane delayed taking off as we ran into a storm. We were held up for several hours at the airport, waiting for the storm to clear up. But we had good flying weather and we enjoyed a good attending service, of course.A: Well, you must be very tired after the long trip, and you have to get over the jet-lag. We have got all the luggage, haven’t we? Let’s drive directly to the hotel.B: Yes, I’m a bit tired. I’m very bad with a jet-lag. But I’ll be all right in a couple of days.A: Good. We’ll take you to the hotel for a good rest. You don’t have to get up early tomorrow. Here’s the schedule for tomorrow. We’ll host a reception lunch in your honor.

I’ll check our reservation record…Oh, thank you for waiting, sir. But I’m afraid we have no record of your reservation. Where was it made? Do you have a confirmation letter?B: That’s very strange.

It gives me a great pleasure to host the banquet in honor of our dear friends and dedicated experts, and celebrate the successful conclusion of our talks. In particular, I’d like to thank Ms.Kelland for her coming. Without her last-minute effort, we would still be in the middle of nowhere, probably in the middle of negotiations, I’m afraid. B: Thank you, President Li. You all did very well. I just contributed my share. We all maneuvered successfully to get our job done, so to speak. Well, ladies and gentlemen, are we carrying out another round of talk over the dinner?A: No more business talks today. We’ve already put an end to it.I propose we limit our talk to friendship tonight. And of course, we’ll delight ourselves completely in the foods that Mother Nature grants us.B: That’s great, the delicious Chinese food! I can’t wait to enjoy your food. What are we expecting tonight?A: Tonight we have prepared a typical Shanghai meal. I hope you will like it.B: Yes, eat in Shanghai as Shanghai people eat. But, to be frank, I’ve heard of the famous Cantonese food, Sichuan food, Shandong food, but not that much of Shanghai food. What’s special about Shanghai cuisine?A: Shanghai cuisine, usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisines in China, with a history of more than 400 years. Like all other Chinese regional cuisines, Benbang cuisine takes“color, aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements. It emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality texture, and original flavors.B: It sounds very appetizing.A: I’d like to recommend a special snack known as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings and a special dish called “Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”. Nanxinang Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup. The Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a crispy skin and tender meat, all covered with a sweet and sour sauce. They are absolutely tasters’ choice.I bet you will like them.B: Oh, I suppose they are the perfect combination of the three elements“color, aroma and taste”. Especially the Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish. I can’t figure out how the chef makes the dish look like a squirrel. Shall we add “appearance”to your judgement criteria?A: Absolutely right, plus “appearance”-that makes the fourth element. Ok, here we are. Please help yourself to the dishes.B: The dinner is so delicious. The dishes are complete with color, aroma, taste and appearance. Thank you very much for your invitation and hospitality. I hope I have n’t missed anything, have I?A: I’m very glad that you like the dishes. But this is just the beginning of the dinner. We have more surprises to expect. Ladies and gentlemen, I consider it a great honor to have you all here for this wonderful time of the year. Let us drink to the health of Ms. Kelland.B: And toast to the health of President Li and to the health of everybody here. Cheers!A: To our lasting friendship and cooperation, cheers!2-4 参观访问Getting AroundA: Hello, welcome to Jinghe High-Tech Park. I am Operation Manager of the Park. I’m honored to be your guide and take you to tour around the Park. May I know your major interests?B: I’m interested in the general layout of the Park. Would you please give me some idea of its setup?A: Very good. First of all, we’ll take a bird’s-eye view of the Park. And then we’ll look around in the Park and, to use a Chinese metaphor, we’ll “cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on horseback”.B: Good idea, but we’ll cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on your car…in a more comfortable manner.A: I really like your humor, sir. Now let me come back to our story.

It takes only 30 minutes to reach the Capital’s International Airport, 20 minutes to get to the Beijing Railway Cargo Station, and an hour to arrive at the Tianjin New Harbor. The Park is a national development project approved by the State Council. It is authorized to approve projects with preferential policies,operating under the management system of international standards.B: When was it put to use?

The Part went into its full operation in 2000, supported by the generous loans from 5 Chinese banks and 2 overseas banks.B: The Park is well planned and arranged in perfect order.A: Yes, it is. A golf course lies on its east, the Moon River to its west, and a kilometer-wide green belt to its north. Inside the Park, industries cluster in the east and residences concentrate in the west. In –between you find the public service area.B: What do you do to attract direct foreign investment?A: The Park Administration takes strong measures to improve the investment environment, to foster new competitive advantages, and to make the Park an investment paradise in North China for hi-tech and new-tech companies, multinationals, and large enterprises of pillar industries. The Park’s two leading industries are information technology and modern biotechnology.B: Are there any particular requirements that prospective foreign enterprises must meet?A: The target industries must meet the Park’s selection criteria. That is, they must strengthen research and development functions, use locally available technical resources and materials, develop suitable supporting industries, and collaborate with universities and public research institutes. Multinational companies from the United States, Japan, Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, Holland and Norway have settled down in the Park. The Park enjoys strong government support and has complete high-tech industry chains. It focuses on the integration of industry, education, and R&D. The Park provides a stream-lined one-stop service for incoming enterprises.B: The physical environment of the Park is wonderful.A: Yes, it is one of the things that we take so much pride in. The Park Administration has been pursuing the policy of ecological conservation and sustainable development. To ensure the quality of the local environment, we stick steadfastly to our development strategy of “attracting investment with a green environment and maintaining a green environment through investment”. As you can see, the Park has a green coverage ofmore than 45%. It really boasts stretches of green grass, forests of green trees, streams murmuring, birds chirping, air refreshing, fragrant flowers blossoming all year round. The whole environment is enveloped in a peaceful, elegant and relaxing atmosphere.B: You’re a real poet. Do you have independent and complete establishments for water and power supply, and for waste treatment?A: Yes, the Park has an independent techno-support and security service center, which is equipped with high-standard facilities for water and electricity supply and provides the enterprises with reliable, stable and quality power, clean water, internet maintenance services, as well as a 24-hour security service.B: That’s wonderful.【下载本文档,可以自由复制内容或自由编辑修改内容,更多精彩文章,期待你的好评和关注,我将一如既往为您服务】精品文档交流。
