一、比较选择
1)两种较熟悉比较方法。(than 搭配 more + 形容词)(bigger 或者 better 更高级)
eg:Bangkok is more expensive than New Deihi. 曼谷比新德里更费钱。
eg:Spain is better place for the conference. 西班牙是更适合举办会议的地方。
2)使用 as + 形容词 + as 的结构来进行比较
eg: New Deile isn't as expensive as Bangkok. 新德里没有曼谷费钱。eg:New York isn't as far as Los Angeles. 纽约没有洛杉矶远。
备注(这一短语常用于否定,它有多种构成方式)
eg:Berlin isn't as exciting as London. 柏林没有伦敦令人激动。eg:Berlin's not as exciting as London. 柏林没有伦敦令人激动。
2.介绍观点
1)开始新的话题,So很有用
eg:So, the conference is next month. 这么说,会议是在下个月。
eg:So, we're having a meeting later today. 那么,我们是今天晚些时候开会。
2)提出观点,可以用For me这样的短语
eg:For me, Rio is a better location. 在我看来,Rio是最好的地方。
3)表示同意或者部分同意可以用True和Yes,but来eg:London's not as hot as Paris in the summer. 伦敦夏天没有巴黎热。
Yes, but Paris isn't as expensive. 是的,但是巴黎没有伦敦费钱。
True. 没错。
4)Well和Hmm可以用来表达思考接下来要说的话eg:Which place is better? 哪个地方更好?
Well, Moscow is very nice. 嗯,莫斯科非常漂亮。
Hmm. I'm not sure. 嗯..,我不确定。
二、做决定
1.最高级
1)the nearest 最近的
2) the farthest 最远的
3)the cheapest 最便宜的
4)the most expensive 最贵的
5)the best 最好的
2.有的比较级和最高级构成方式规则,分别为 + er 和 the + 形容词 + esteg:cheap — cheaper — the cheapest 便宜的—更便宜的—最便宜的
eg:far — father — the farthest 远的—更远的—最远的eg:expensive — more expensive — the most expensive 费钱的—更费钱的—最费钱的
3.其他比较级和最高级
good — better — the best
2.表示异议
1)表示异议时,我们应该礼貌的提出,而不是直接加以陈述。
eg:I think LA's the best city. 我认为洛杉矶是最好的城市。
really? 真的吗?
eg:Paris is so boring. 巴黎非常无聊Do you really think so? 你真这样认为吗?
2)表示异议前,我们可以使用一个短语,提醒对方即将要说的话。
eg: To be honest, I think Tokyo's better. 坦白讲,我认为东京更好。
备注(听取主要思想可以听过 to be honest 和 I think that,来听)
三、讨论细节
1.会议语言
1)team building 团建
2)department 部门3)venue 场所
4)meeting 会议
5)facilities 设施
6)presentation 展示
7)projector 投影仪
2.提出建议和推荐
1)在组织会议活动中,动词recommend(推荐) 和 suggest(建议)非常有用。
eg:So, first, about the venue. What would you suggest?
那先说说场地,你有什么建议?I'd recommend the VK Hotel. It's the best in Rio, and it has the most modern conference facilities, too.
我推荐VK酒店。它是Rio最好的酒店,有着最先进的会议设施。
OK, and how many days do we need?
行,那我们需要几天?
I'd suggest three days — one for the presentations, one for the team building and one for smaller meetings.
我提议三天,一天做演示,一天进行团建,一天开小会。
2)还可以建议具体的事物eg: I’d recommend a large projector. 我推荐使用一台大的投影仪。
备注(使用动词would 或者缩写‘d与动词搭配,建议会更礼貌)
3)还可以用 recommend + that 或 suggest + that 建议一种行动eg: I’d recommend that we get a large meeting room. 我建议我们找一个宽敞的会议室。
eg:I‘d suggest that we travel in June. 我建议我们六月去旅行
四、总结决定
1.阅读具体信息
学会找关键词
eg:As I mentioned in Monday's meeting, we're going to Moscow for the conference this year.
关键词为:going,Moscow,conference。 (开会信息已体现)
2.报告并指代决定
1)提及说过的事情:As I mentioned,As I discussed
As I mentioned in Monday's meeting, we're going to Moscow for the conference this year.
如我在周一会上所提到的,我们今年打算去莫斯科开会。As I discussed in the meeting, there will be presentations from all departments.
如会上所讨论的,所有部门都会做演示。
2)宣布决定:decide,choose,agree等动词We’ve decided to book three rooms. 我们决定预定三个房间
We've chosen to have presentations on the first day. 我们决定第一天演示。
