原汁原味商務英語播客第140課:開會暢所欲言(3)
This is the third and finAl part of our Business English Pod series on getting your ideas across in meetings.
Meetings are a great opportunity to get your ideas across and influence other people. But doing that is no easy task. You need the right combination of tact, frankness, confidence, and humility. And you need some effective language techniques to manage that combination.
開會是一個表達自己觀點和影響到別人的絕好機會。但是做起來可不容易。你需要機智，坦白，自信和謙虛，並且你需要用一些語言技巧去結合這些要素。In today's lesson, we're going to look at several advanced techniques for expressing your ideas and commenting on other people's opinions. These include leading into opinions, highlighting consequences, and redirecting a discussion. A lot of these techniques revolve around agreeing and disagreeing. We've looked at many of these in the first two parts, and today we'll continue by learning about strongly agreeing and disagreeing with negative questions.
