Preparation
Transcript
Lucy: Hi, Anna. Do you have a minute to talk about the meeting next Tuesday?
Anna: Sure. We said 11, didn't we?
Lucy: Yeah, we did. But I have a bit of a problem with the time. Would it be possible to move it?
Anna: Oh, I see. We could postpone it to the afternoon, to 1 p.m., for example. Or bring it forward to earlier in the morning. What would suit you?
Lucy: Could we make it 9 o'clock? That would really help me. I have another important meeting in the central office at 12.
Anna: No problem. It's important you're there.
Lucy: Thanks a lot, Anna.
Anna: Do you need help with any preparation? Did you get the agenda I sent out?
Lucy: Yes, I did. And no, that's all fine, thanks. My report is ready and I'm looking forward to presenting it.
Anna: Great.
Lucy: I can tell Sven about the time change. I'll see him later.
Anna: Don't worry about telling Sven. I'll send an email to everyone to confirm the time has changed and with an updated meeting invite.
Lucy: Great. Thanks, Anna.
Anna: OK. I'm happy that works for you. We really need you there and it's good we don't have to cancel it.
Lucy: See you then. Have a good weekend in the meantime.
Anna: You too.
I like the activities because they are interesting and make learning English more fun.
Hi! I’m Silvianta, a student from Tanjungpura University in Pontianak, Indonesia. This listening activity is very helpful for me to improve my English, especially my listening skills. I really enjoy learning through this activity. Thank you!
I think this listening activity is useful because changing a meeting time is something that can happen in college or at work. The conversation teaches us how to politely ask someone to change a schedule and suggest another time. I also learned some useful expressions that I can use when arranging meetings or group discussions with my classmates.
I have to go to work meetings and sometimes appointments. I usually arrange them by checking my schedule, choosing a convenient time, and sending a meeting invitation with the date, time, and place. If something comes up, I try to postpone or reschedule the meeting.
I so exited for this improving my level , i learn many words in this scrip and i will need the wosds in real life .
I am ready to start a new script
What meetings do you have to go to? How do you arrange them?
Now, I don’t have to schedule any meetings. But during my last internship, I had a morning briefing every day at 9:00 a.m. to talk about what I did the day before. So, at the end of each day, I prepared what I was going to say in the next morning briefing.
Well , In these days I don't have any meeting , because I'm not working , but when I was , I has meeting almost everyday.
Thank you for this listening
