Business Communications

 

Business COMMUNICATION

today’s phrase is:

About the…,

We use this to bring up a topic 

of communication.

 


repeat after me:

About the party, 

should we invite the president?

About the newspaper ad, 

did we finalize it already?

About the property near the river, 

do we have to pay taxes this month?

About the contract, 

I'd like it by tomorrow if that’s okay.

About the architect, 

do you think he needs more time?

 


Okay now let’s practice this

with a short conversation:

 


Mr. Jones, I'm sorry to bother you.

No problem. What is it?

About the construction, 

can they stop for a few hours.

Um… I’m not sure about that.

My department has a meeting 

here at two.

We'll be finished by four.

I'd really appreciate it if 

they'd stop for just two hours.

Well… I'll check and see 

if we can make it work.

Beautiful Music

  When I was a kid, I had a passion for planting seeds in my backyard garden. I would dig small holes, place the seeds inside, cover them with soil, and water them daily, eagerly waiting for something magical to unfold. However, the reality was a little different. Days would pass, and I wouldn’t see any signs of growth emerging from those patches of dirt. As a child, I struggled to grasp why it took so long for the seeds to sprout into little plants. My impatience wanted instant results! But my mom always reminded me that good things take time. She explained that the seeds needed to rest beneath the soil to develop before they could break through. That experience with seeds taught me a valuable lesson that still resonates with me today. Just like those seeds, many wonderful things in life—like learning new skills, achieving goals, or becoming a better version of ourselves—require time to evolve from small beginnings into something remarkable. We live in an age where we can get near...

A simple Story

  Once upon a time, a traveler arrived at the gate of a city after a long and exhausting journey. He paused for a moment, gazing at the city and pondering about the people who lived within. Nearby, he noticed an old man sitting quietly. The traveler approached him and inquired about the kind of people who resided in the city. The old man replied with curiosity, "What were the people like in the place you left behind?" The traveler frowned, reflecting on his past. "They were selfish and unkind, caring only for themselves," he answered. The old man nodded thoughtfully. "You will find the same type of people here," he said, offering a sympathetic gaze. The traveler sighed, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over him. Not long after, another traveler arrived at the same city, walking briskly and taking in the surroundings with enthusiasm. He spotted the old man and stopped to ask, "What kind of people live here?" Once again, the old man regarded ...

Positivity

  I have the power to change my thoughts in a second. I'm allowed to do what I want with my life. I have the power to change myself. I allow myself to play and enjoy life. I am making a difference in this world. I am at peace with all that has happened. I am at peace with all that is happening. I am at peace with all that will happen. My life is just beginning. Today, I abandon my old habits. I take up new habits, more positive ones. I've given up my bad habits and am so grateful for that. I am now free from my bad habits. I only do positive habits. I am thankful that I get to live another day. I see the world with beauty and color. I deserve whatever good comes my way today. Today is rich with opportunity. I open my heart to receive the opportunities of today. I take the time to show my friends that I care about them. I live a positive life and seek only the best.
