CUT 1
Eliz: Hello, again. We're here with Gary Engleton, our business language expert. We have an e - mail question for you, Gary. The question is,"In the United States, is it better to stay with one company or to change jobs? Gary: If you want to be an important executive in a large corporation, it is probably better to change companies at least once or twice. Large corporations hire at least half of their top executives from outside the company. You should try to stay at each job for at least a year, however. Otherwise, it will look bad. Eliz: Here's another e - mail question: “What should I do if I want to change jobs?” Gary: Well, the most important thing is to keep your skills up to date. This is especially important if you aren't young anymore. It is unfortunate, but some employers may think that your knowledge is out of date. Take college classes in your field at night or on weekends or even on the Internet. Eliz: Do you have any other advice? Gary: Yes, stay in close contact with everyone you know in other companies. Send them friendly e - mails and cards. Ask them for advice and offer yours. Build up your network. This network will be useful if you need their help to move to their company someday. Eliz: Thank you, Gary. Let's take a break. Music

Let's listen to a group of business people at a training session. The trainer asks them to introduce themselves. Trainer: Okay. Before we get started, let's go around the table and introduce ourselves. My name is Rachel Jones and I'm a cultural sensitivity trainer. I train executives to understand cultural differences in the workplace. How about you, Dan? Alvarez: My name is Dan Alvarez. I'm an accountant at Acme Accounting. I prepare tax documents for large and small businesses. Walters: I'm Janine Walters. I'm a sales representative for Ace Department Stores. I handle sales for the Northeastern United States.

What's your topics for today, Gary? Gary: Today I'll be talking about describing your job responsibilities. In many situations, you need to describe what you do in your job. In a job interview, for example, you need to be able to state two or three of your main responsibilities. And when you meet other business people at a meeting, a trade show, or even at a party, they may ask what you do in your job. You should be able to describe what you do in one or two sentences. Think of a clear way to describe what you do. Let's listen again to part of the Business Dialog. Listen for the expressions “I train,” and “I prepare.” Trainer: My name is Rachel Jones and I'm a cultural sensitivity trainer. I train executives to understand cultural differences in the workplace. How about you, Dan?
Walters: I'm Janine Walters. I'm a sales representative for Ace Department Stores. I handle sales for the Northeastern United States. Protowski: My name is George Potowski. I'm general manager at Astro Electronics. We sell TVs, VCRs, radios, that sort of thing. I'm in charge of the sales personnel, and I make sure that our inventory is up to date. Gary: We just heard people describing what they do in their jobs. Try writing down what you do in your work. Then think of one or two sentences that clearly describe what you do and practice saying them. Well, that's all we have time for today. I hope today's tips were helpful! Eliz: Thanks, Gary. Music

Interviewer: Tell me about the two jobs you held before your current job. White: All right. Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an assistant manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey. I was in charge of scheduling workers on the assembly line. Then at the end of 1994 I took a position as general manager with Ace Foods.

Ms. Graham is Senior Vice President at Advanced Technologies. Good evening, Ms. Graham. Thank you for joining us. Graham: My pleasure. Eliz: We have already met Mike Epstein, who is a Senior Systems Engineer at your company. He explained to us how he met Charles Blake in China at a trade show. Mr. Epstein was interested in purchasing industrial robots from Mr. Blake's company for one of your factories. Graham: Yes, that's right. Mr. Epstein felt that the industrial robots would increase productivity at our new factory. Eliz: And you were also involved in the negotiations about the robots? Graham: Yes, I was. Both Mr. Epstein and I met with Mr. Blake when he visited our company. Eliz: We'll be talking more about those meetings in the coming weeks. Let's tell our listeners a little about your work at Advanced Technologies. As Vice President, what are your main responsibilities? Graham: One thing I do is oversee our manufacturing plants and facilities. Last year we built a new factory, and of course we're always modernizing our existing facilities. Eliz: I see. And what are your main concerns in the construction of a new factory? Graham: That's a very complex question. Of course, one concern is keeping costs within limits. We also have to be concerned with a design that will help improve our productivity and provide flexibility for the future. Eliz: How many people work for you? Graham: Well, I have five senior engineers who report directly to me, including Mike Epstein. I also have my own support staff. Eliz: Before coming to Advanced Technologies, what did you do? Graham: I worked for Boston Electronics for five years. Eliz: And what did you do there? Graham: I was in charge of marketing. Eliz: Why did you leave? Graham: I felt I could handle more responsibility, and the company wasn't growing at that time. So I began looking for a new position. Eliz: Did you work with an executive recruiter? Graham: Yes, I did. She was very helpful. She told me that there was a position opening up at Advanced Technologies. Eliz: What attracted you to Advanced Technologies? Graham: The opportunities for growth and for greater responsibility. Eliz: I see. Do you feel that you made a good choice? Graham: Oh, definitely. My work is challenging and I'm well rewarded. Eliz: That's all very interesting. Music

CUT 1
Eliz: Hello again. We're here with Gary Engleton, our business language expert. Let's look at our e - mail question, Gary. Gary: All right. Eliz: Our first question is, “Is it common for a woman to be a manager in the U.S.?” Gary: In fields such as law and medicine, the percentage of women is increasing quickly. However, in corporations there are still not many women in the top jobs. Eliz: Here's another question. “Is women's pay equal to men's?” Gary: In corporations, women still generally make less than men. Pay equality is an important issue in business. Eliz: And one more question. “Is it difficult for a woman to supervise men?” Gary: Some men don't like to have a female boss, but that's changing. Eliz: In my experience, most of the men I supervise accept me as their supervisor. Gary: Yes, I think most men today are quite comfortable with a woman as a supervisor. Eliz: Let's take a break, Gary. Gary: OK Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là phần thực tập. Xin nghe rồi lập lại. Phần này gọi là VARIATIONS - cách nói một ý khác nhau. Thí dụ như trong câu: In some fields, the percentage of women is increasing = Ở vài ngành, tỷ số phần trăm phụ nữ đang tăng. Thay vì dùng chữ PERCENTAGE - phần trăm, quí vị có thể dùng chữ PROPORTION = tỷ lệ. Tương tự, thay vì dùng chữ TOP JOBS = chức vụ cao, có thể dùng chữ HIGH - LEVEL POSITIONS. FIELD = AREA = ngành, địa hạt. Xin nghe và thực tập. CUT 2 Larry: Variations. Listen to these variations. Eliz: In some fields, the percentage of women is increasing. Larry: In some fields, the proportion of women is increasing. (Pause) Eliz: There are not many women in top jobs. [chức vụ cao] Larry: There are not many women in high - level positions. (Pause) Eliz: Pay equality is an important issue. Larry: Equal pay for equal work is an important issue. [vấn đề] (pause) Eliz: Most men today are comfortable with a woman as a supervisor. Larry: Most men today are comfortable being supervised by a woman. (pause) [comfortable = thoải mái, dễ chịu; ngày nay phần lớn đàn ông cảm thấy thoải mái khi được chỉ huy bởi một phụ nữ] Music

Eliz: Today's Business Dialog is about asking personal questions. Fred and Sue are at a cocktail party at a professional meeting. They are meeting each other for the first time. During the conversation, they ask each other some personal questions. Let's listen. Fred: Hi, my name is Fred Jones. Sue: Hello, Fred. I'm Sue Carter. Fred: Nice to meet you, Sue.

Sue: Do you go to the theater a lot? Fred: Yes, my wife and I see a lot of plays. New York is great. Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây chú trọng về phần vụ - Focus on Functions - Personal Questions - những câu hỏi về đời tư. BUSINESS CONTEXTS = hoàn cảnh thương mại = BUSINESS SETTINGS,

Vietnamese explanation Sau đây, xin nghe Gary mách cách hỏi những câu có tính cách cá nhân ở môi trường thương mại. QUESTIONS WHICH ARE SAFE TO ASK = câu hỏi không va chạm đến đời tư khi hỏi [ở đâu, chức vụ, làm bao lâu, etc..] QUESTIONS WHICH ARE NOT SAFE TO ASK = câu không tiện hỏi [như lương (SALARY); tôn giáo, theo đạo nào (RELIGION); tình trạng gia đình (MARITAL STATUS). Xin nghe lại mấy lời đàm thoại giữa Fred và Sue. CUT 5
Gary's Tips: Personal questions in business settings. UPBEAT MUSIC Larry: Gary's Tips.
Let's listen to the Business Dialog again. In the conversation, Fred asks Sue how she likes living in Philadelphia and how long she's lived there. Let's listen. Sue: I'm the sales rep for Acme Electronics in Philadelphia. Fred: How do you like living in Philadelphia? Sue: Philadelphia is great. The people there are very nice. Fred: Have you lived there a long time? Sue: No, I just moved there two years ago. Gary: Then Sue asks Fred if he likes living in New York. She also asks him a question about his interest in the theater. Let's listen. Sue: How about you? Do you like living in New York City?
Gary: There are some topics which are not to ask someone unless you know the person well. You shouldn't ask if someone is married, or about the person's age or religion, or about how much money a person makes or spends.[đừng hỏi kiếm được hay tiêu bao nhiêu tiền.] It's also a bad idea to talk about politics in business situations. It is much better to stay with very safe topics. Well, that's all we have for today. I hope today's tips were helpful! Eliz: Thanks very much, Gary. Music
Eliz: Well, our time is up. Tune in next time for Functioning in Business. See you then! Music

Hello again. We're here with Gary Engleton, our business language expert. Let's look at our e - mail questions, Gary. Gary: All right. Eliz: We have an interesting question today about using telephones in business. A listener writes: “When I make a telephone call to a big company, what should I say to the person who answers the phone?” Gary: That is a very good question. At big companies, the people who answer the phones are called receptionists. You have to tell the receptionist who you are and who you want to speak with. You may also have to give some information about the purpose of the call [mục đích của cú điện thoại]. Eliz: Could you explain that again? Gary: Sure. Here are the three things you should do. First, be sure to identify yourself and the name of your company. Use the expression: This is...” For example, when I call, I say,"This is Gary Engleton from Culture Tips.” Next, tell the receptionist who you want to speak to. The best way to say is,"I would like to speak to... and the person's name. Eliz: That's not so difficult. Gary: Then, you can give some information about the purpose of your call. This is especially important if the person may not remember who you are. For example, you could say,"I met him in Hong Kong last year and he suggested I call when I come to town.” Eliz: Yes, that makes sense. Gary: One more tip. If the person called you first, be sure to say,"I'm returning his call.” Eliz: What happens next? Gary: After you give your information, the receptionist will put you on hold. That means that you have to wait while the receptionist tries to find the person. The receptionist will usually say,"Please hold” or “One moment, please.” While you are on hold, you may hear music or just a period of silence. Don't hang up! Eliz: Thanks, Gary. That was very helpful. Gary: I'm always glad to help! Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây quí vị tập điền cho đầy đủ câu bằng những chữ đã nghe trong bài - SENTENCE COMPLETION. Đó là những chữ như receptionist, on hold, identify yourself, put you through.

Today I'll be talking about how to make suggestions. In the Business Dialog, Mr. Bliss asks Ms. Milton to suggest a day for their meeting. He asks her,"When would be convenient?” Listen to the conversation. Notice how Ms. Milton uses the expression “Could we meet...” to suggest a day for the meeting. Milton: I'm calling to see if we can arrange a meeting. There are several matters I'd like to discuss with you. Bliss: Okay, when would be convenient? Milton: Could we meet tomorrow? Bliss: Yes, that's possible. Gary: Saying,"Could we...” is way to make a suggestion. Another good way to make a suggestion is to say,"How about...?” Let's listen. Bliss: What time would be convenient? Milton: How about 2:30? Bliss: Fine. Gary: You can also make a suggestion by mentioning a time, and then asking “How does that sound?” Listen to the conversation between Mr. Epstein and Mr. Blake. Listen for the expression “How does that sound?” or “How's that sound?” Epstein: Ah, I'll tell you what. I'm free after eleven o'clock. How's that sound? Blake: That sounds fine with me. Gary: Thanks for joining us today for Gary's Tips. We'll see you again next time. Music
Eliz: Our time is up. Tune in again next time for Functioning in Business. See you then! Music

Vietnamese explanation Quí vị vừa học xong bài 21 trong chương trình ANH NGỮ SINH ĐỘNG NEW DYNAMIC ENGLISH. Phạm Văn xin kính chào quí vị thính giả và xin hẹn gặp lại trong bài học kế tiếp. BÀI 22 Đây là chương trình Anh ngữ Sinh động New Dynamic English bài thứ 22. Phạm Văn xin kính chào quí vị thính giả. Chủ đề của bài học hôm nay là phần CULTURE TIP - mách giúp về văn hóa. Trong phần này là phần SMALL TALK = nói chuyện xã - giao về những đề tài thân mật (như hỏi thăm về chuyến bay, thời - tiết) trước khi bàn chuyện chính. Vây, SMALL TALK = câu chuyện xã giao, mào đầu, qua loa, trước khi bàn chuyện chính. IN BUSINESS PHONE CALLS, WE RARELY GO DIRECTLY TO THE MAIN TOPIC = trong khi nói chuyện bằng điện thoại về thương mại, chúng tôi hiếm khi nói thẳng ngay vào vấn đề chính. RARELY (adv.) = hiếm khi, họa hoằn. GIVE THE CONVERSATION A FRIENDLY START = bắt đầu câu chuyện bằng một chuyện vui hay thân mật. COMFORTABLE = dễ chịu, thoải mái BUILD PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS = gây thêm tình thân. AVOID TALKING ABOUT VERY PERSONAL TOPICS = tránh bàn về những đầu - đề có tính cách rất riêng tư. Hãy nghe ông Gary Engleton chỉ cho ta cách nói chuyện. TOPIC = đầu đề, đề tài COMMON = thông thường IMMEDIATELY = lập tức, ngay. PERSONAL = có tính cách riêng tư. HOBBY, HOBBIES = thú tiêu khiển, khác công việc hàng ngày. Xin mời quí vị nghe: CUT 1 Larry: Culture tips. Eliz: Hello again. We're here with Gary Engleton, our business language expert. Let's look at our e - mail question, Gary. Gary: All right. [Tiếng bàn máy điện tử] Eliz: Well, today we have a very important e - mail question about business culture. Gary: What is it? Eliz: The question is: “In a business telephone call, should you immediately begin talking about business?” Gary: That is a good question. Actually, in business phone calls, we rarely go directly to the main topic. Eliz: Really? Gary: Before talking about business, we usually talk about a friendly topic. Talking about friendly topics is called “small talk”. Eliz: Can you give us an example? Gary: Yes, when Mr. Epstein talks with Mr. Blake, he first asks Mr. Blake about his flight. Eliz: Oh, I see. Gary: It gives the conversation a friendly start. Eliz: What are some good topics for small talk? Gary: Common small talk topics are weather, hobbies, and travel. These topics are usually very comfortable. Gary: But you should avoid talking about very personal topics. Eliz: I see. Gary: Small talk helps people in business build better personal relationships. For example, if someone comes to town by airplane, you can ask,"How was your flight?” If they say their flight was terrible, you can say,"That's too bad,” or “I'm sorry to hear that.” And if their flight was good, you can say,"I'm glad to hear it.” This shows that you're interested in personal feelings, and not just business. Eliz: That's very interesting, Gary. Thank you again for your culture tips! Gary: My pleasure! Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là phần thực tập. Xin nghe một câu, rồi định xem câu đó có thuộc loại “small talk” (câu chuyện thân mật để khơi mào) bằng cách trả lời YES hay NO sau khi nghe tiếng chuông. CUT 2 Language Focus: Small talk. Larry: Is this a good topic for small talk? Yes, or No? Eliz: Nice weather we're having, don't you think? (ding) (pause for answer) Eliz: Yes. The weather is a comfortable topic for small talk. (short pause) Eliz: Did your company make much money last year? (ding) (pause for answer) Eliz: No. Money or business is not a good topic for small talk. (short pause) Eliz: Is this your first time in San Francisco? (ding) (pause for answer) Eliz: Yes. Travel is a good topic for small talk. (short pause) Eliz: Do you have any children? (ding) (pause for answer) Eliz: No. In the U.S. marriage and family are not good topics for small talk, when meeting someone for the first time. Vietnamese explanation Business Dialog: Making an Appointment. Tiếp sau đây, quí vị nghe một mẩu đàm thoại về thương mại. Henry Michaels thuộc hãng Stetson Industries xin gặp ông Bob Harmon, làm quản đốc sản xuất của một hãng kỹnghệ. Hãy nghe những câu Henry dùng để xin hẹn. DELIVERY SCHEDULE = thời - biểu giao hàng. I WAS WONDERING IF WE COULD GET TOGETHER SOMETIME THIS WEEK = Tôi muốn hỏi xem chúng ta có thể gặp vào một lúc nào đó trong tuần này không. I'M FREE ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON = tôi rảnh lúc xế trưa hôm thứ năm. DISCUSS = thảo luận, bàn về. HOW DOES THAT SOUND? = Như vậy có tiện không? FIRST PART OF THE WEEK = mấy ngày đầu tuần lễ. CUT 3
Eliz: Let's listen to today's Business Dialog. We'll hear a young businessman calling to make an appointment with the production manager of another company. [Phone call = tiếng điện thoại reo] Mr. Harmon: Bob Harmon. Henry: Hello. Mr. Harmon. This is Henry Michaels...Of Stetson Industries. Mr. Harmon: Oh, hello, Henry. What can I do for you? Henry: I was wondering if we could get together sometime this week. I'd like to discuss our delivery schedule. Mr. Harmon: Well, let's see. I'm busy the first part of the week. But I'm free on Thursday afternoon. How does that sound? Henry: That's good to me. What time? Mr. Harmon: How about 3:00? At my office. Henry: That's great. Music
Vietnamese explanation Trong phần kế tiếp, Focus on Functions, quí vị học cách hỏi lịch sự, lễ phép, nhã - nhặn (Polite suggestions). Thí dụ như câu: I was wondering...if we could get together...sometime next week, thì câu này bắt đầu bằng “I was wondering... tôi tự hỏi... if we could get together..chúng ta có thể gặp nhau... sometime this week”...lúc nào đó trong tuần này. Để ý đến chữ COULD... một lối nói lễ phép. Thay vì hỏi thẳng,"Can we get together next week?” tuần tới chúng ta gặp nhau được không? muốn lễ - phép hơn, ta dùng “I was wondering if we could get together next week.” Xin nghe đoạn kế tiếp. CUT 4 Larry: Focus on Functions: Suggestions. Eliz: Let's focus on Polite Suggestions. Polite suggestions are often long and use difficult language. Here is an example from Business Dialog. Eliz: I was wondering...if we could get together...sometime this week. Larry: Listen and repeat. Eliz: I was wondering... (pause for repeat) Eliz: if we could get together... (pause for repeat) Eliz: sometime this week. (pause for repeat) Eliz: I was wondering...if we could get together...sometime this week. (pause for repeat) Eliz: I was wondering if we could get together sometime this week. (pause for repeat) Eliz: I was wondering if we could get together sometime this week. (pause for repeat) Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là phần Gary's Tips: Suggestions. I was hoping that...I was wondering if... Phần này chú trọng đến vài cách đề nghị gặp lúc nào và nơi nào. Muốn hỏi xem ngày và giờ và nơi hẹn có tiện không thì hỏi,"How does that sound?” FORMAL = nghiêm trang, chính thức; INFORMAL = thân mật. POLITE = lịch sự, lễ phép, nhã nhặn. Nghe câu: I was hoping that we could perhaps arrange a meeting for tomorrow sometime. Trong câu đề nghị lịch sự này, quí vị để ý đến câu mở đầu, “I was hoping that..,” hay “I was wondering if...” Cũng để ý đến những chữ như “perhaps” (có thể), “sometime” (một lúc nào đó), như vậy, người nghe được tự do lựa chọn về đề nghị của ta. Và khi nghe rồi, ta cũng phải đề nghị lúc và nơi hẹn rõ rệt bằng cách hỏi lại một câu như, “How about two - thirty tomorrow at your office?” = Thế thì gặp lúc hai giờ rưỡi chiều mai ở văn phòng của ông có được không? CUT 5
UPBEAT MUSIC Larry: Gary's Tips. Eliz: Now it's time for Gary's tips with Gary Engleton! Gary: Hello, Elizabeth. Today we'll look at some more ways to suggest the time and place for a meeting. First let's review some expressions we discussed on our last show. One way to make a suggestion is to say,"How does that sound?” Let's listen. Mr. Harmon: Well, let's see. I'm busy the first part of the week. But I'm free on Thursday afternoon. How does that sound? Gary: You can also use the expression “How about...” Let's listen. Henry: What time? Mr. Harmon: How about 3:00? At my office. Gary: A more formal and more polite way to make a suggestion is to use the expression,"I was wondering if...” Listen to the following example from the Business Dialog. Henry: I was wondering if we could get together sometime this week.
Let's listen. Epstein: Say, when shall we get together?

Phạm Văn xin kính chào quí vị thính giả và xin hẹn gặp lại trong bài học kế tiếp BÀI 23 Đây là chương trình Anh ngữ Sinh động New Dynamic English bài thứ 23. Phạm Văn xin kính chào quí vị thính giả. Trong bài học này quí vị sẽ gặp ông Max và cô Kathy, hai người phụ trách chương trình Anh ngữ căn bản nhằm giúp quí vị hiểu thêm về người Mỹ và văn hóa Mỹ. Chủ đề của bài học hôm nay là câu How Much Does It Cost? - Món đồ ấy giá bao nhiêu? Quí vị sẽ học về giá hàng (prices) và quần áo (clothing), và chú trọng về cách so - sánh (comparisons). Cũng học động từ COST. Như trong câu: HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Món đồ ấy giá bao nhiêu? Cũng học danh từ COST nghĩa là “chi phí, phí tổn”. COST MORE THAN = đắt hơn; COST LESS THAN = rẻ hơn. CLOTHING STORE = tiệm, cửa hàng bán quần áo. CLOTHES = quần áo (số nhiều); nhưng CLOTHING = cũng có nghĩa là quần áo nói chung, là một collective noun, danh từ tập hợp; số ít). STORE MANAGER = quản lý tiệm bán quần áo. Trong đoạn đầu bài học, Kathy nói chuyện với Max về chuyện cô khách mời lên đài là Maria Alvarez, chủ một tiệm bán quần áo phụ nữ. Sau đó là phần nghe rồi lập lại, tập đếm từ số 10 đến số 20. CUT 1

A SKIRT = váy. A SWEATER = áo nịt, áo len. A DRESS = áo dài phụ nữ. A DRESS COSTS FROM 35 TO 65 DOLLARS = một áo dài giá từ 35 đến 65 Mỹ kim (dollars). OVER $100 = trên một trăm dollars. [Nhận xét: trong tiếng Mỹ, dấu hiệu chỉ dollar viết tắt bằng mẫu tự S có một gạch dọc, và đứng trước số tiền; có một dấu chấm trước số chỉ xu. Thí dụ: $1.50 = đọc là “one dollar and fifty cents,” một dollar 50 cents.] SUIT = bộ đồ. [Phân biệt với SUITE = phòng sang trong khách sạn; để ý cách phát âm: SUIT [su:t] = bộ đồ; SUITE [swi:t] = phòng lớn]. CUT 2

Vietnamese explanation Bây giờ quí vị nghe đoạn phỏng vấn Maria Alvarez. Hãy nghe mấy câu sẽ hỏi trong đoạn kế tiếp: Where does your clothing come from? Hàng quần áo của cô từ đâu đến? Some of the clothing comes from the United States and some of it comes from other parts of the world: Một số quần áo làm ở Hoa Kỳ; một số làm ở nhiều nơi khác trên thế giới. CLOTHING = [collective noun, danh từ tập hợp, số ít] = quần áo [nói chung]. OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD = nhiều nơi khác trên thế giới. EUROPE = Âu châu. MEXICO = Mễ - tây - cơ, Mê - hi - cô.

Where does your clothing come from? Maria: Some of it is from the U.S. Some comes from Mexico or from Asia. Some clothing is from Europe, but it's more expensive. For example, this dress from Mexico costs $15 dollars. Kathy: I see. Maria: And this dress from France costs $60. Kathy: Sixteen dollars? Maria: No, sixty dollars. Kathy: It's very expensive. These dresses look the same. Maria: Yes, they do. But they don't cost the same. Not at all. Kathy: Our guest today is Maria Alvarez. We'll talk more after our break. This is New Dynamic English.

Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là mẩu điện thư e - mail: Why does this dress cost more than that dress? Tại sao cái áo này đắt hơn cái áo kia? Dresses from rich countries cost more than dresses from poor countries. Áo may ở xứ giầu đắt hơn áo may ở xứ nghèo. COSTS VS. PRICES = phí tổn đối nghịch với giá hàng. VS = VERSUS LOW = hạ, thấp. HIGH = cao. MATERIALS = vật liệu, hàng. COTTON = bông. SILK = lụa. Silk is expensive, so silk dresses are expensive: Lụa đắt nên áo lụa đắt. Cotton dresses are less expensive than silk dresses = áo bằng vải bông rẻ hơn áo bằng lụa. The silk dress costs more than the cotton dress = Áo lụa này đắt hơn cái áo bằng vải bông. MAKE A LOT OF MONEY = kiếm được nhiều tiền. Xin mời quí vị nghe trước; sau đó nghe rồi lập lại. CUT 6
E - mail: Why does this dress cost more than that dress? Kathy: Ms. Alvarez manages a clothing store in San Jose, California. It's time to check our e - mail. We have an e - mail from Irene in Portland. Her question is: Why do some dresses cost fifteen dollars and other dresses cost fifty dollars? Maria: Some cost 15 dollars...one, five...and some cost 50 dollars? Kathy: That's right. Maria: That's a good question. Some dresses are very expensive. Other dresses don't cost very much. They're in - expensive. Some inexpensive dresses come from poor countries... Countries where workers don't make much money. So costs [phí tổn] are low, and prices are low [giá hạ]. In rich countries, where workers make a lot of money, costs are high and prices are high. Kathy: What about materials? Maria: Yes, that's a good point. Expensive dresses use expensive materials. Silk is expensive, so silk dresses are expensive. Cotton is less expensive than silk. So, cotton dresses are less expensive than silk dresses. Kathy: I see. Thank you. Music
The French shirt is more expensive. Larry: Listen carefully and repeat. Max: The silk dress costs $50. (pause for repeat) Max: The cotton shirt costs $20. (pause for repeat) Max: The silk dress costs more than the cotton dress. (pause for repeat) Max: The English dress costs $25. (pause for repeat) Max: The Italian dress costs $45.

Interview. Blake, Meeting with Epstein. Eliz: Did Mr. Epstein meet you as planned? Blake: Yes, he did. We had a very nice lunch in San Francisco, then we went for a drive. Eliz: Did you discuss business? Blake: Yes, we did...a little. Mr. Epstein wanted to explain some of the details of the project... about their plans to build a new factory. And he wanted to learn more about our industrial robots. As you know, we wanted to sell our robots to Advanced Technologies, for use in their new factory. Eliz: Did you discuss other topics? Blake: Well, yes. He told me that the new factory was scheduled for completion in October. So this October deadline was very important. He was also concerned about aftersales service. Eliz: Do you mean maintenance, repair, and so on? Blake: That's right.

CULTURE TIPS. Eliz: Hello again. We're here with Gary Engleton, our business language expert. Let's look at our email, Gary. Gary: Okay. Eliz: We have a question today about making appointments. The question is: “How should I suggest a meeting time?” Gary: Well, it depends on your relationship with the person you want to meet. Eliz: I'm not sure that I understand. Gary: Well, if it's someone you know quite well, you can be very direct. For example, let's say that you want to suggest a meeting time to a coworker, someone you've known for a long time. You can just say,"Let's meet tomorrow for lunch” or “How about tomorrow for lunch?” But even with friends, you shouldn't be too direct. Don't say,"I want to meet with you at 3:00 tomorrow.” Eliz: Oh, I see. Gary: But with someone you don't know well or someone very important, it's better to be more general, more indirect. For example, you can say,"I was hoping that we could meet sometime in the next few days.” Or,"Would it be possible for us to meet sometime tomorrow?” Very polite suggestions are often very long. Eliz: Isn't it rather vague...very general? Gary: Sometimes it's good to be vague. Vague means no definite time. That gives the other person a lot of freedom to suggest a good time. Eliz: What if the other person asks you what time you should meet? Gary: Well, you can suggest a time... or if you want to be very considerate, you can say, “What time is good for you?” Eliz: Very interesting and useful. Thanks again, Gary! Gary: I'm happy to be of help. Music
Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là phần thực tập. Xin nghe một câu rồi lập lại, định xem câu đó thuộc loại direct suggestion (đề nghị trực tiếp) hay indirect suggestion (đề nghị giántiếp). Nhớ là đềnghị thẳng thường bắt đầu bằng câu như “Let's...” hay “How about...” còn đề nghị gián tiếp thì thường bắt đầu bằng câu,"I was hoping that...” hay “I was wondering if...” hay “Would it be possible..” Như trong câu,"Would it be possible for us to meet sometime tomorrow?” Ngày mai vào một lúc nào đó, chúng ta có thể gặp nhau được không? CUT 3 Larry: Listen carefully. Eliz: Let's meet tomorrow for lunch. (pause for repeat) Eliz: How about tomorrow for lunch? (pause for repeat) Eliz: I was hoping that we could meet sometime in the next week. (pause for repeat) Eliz: Would it be possible for us to meet sometime tomorrow? (pause for repeat) Vietnamese explanation Business Dialog.

Vietnamese explanation Sau đây là phần Gary's Tips: Response to Suggestions: Trong phần này Gary chỉ cho chúng ta mấy cách trả lời một đề nghị. Đó là những câu như: OK. Fine. That's fine.

UPBEAT MUSIC Larry: Gary's Tips. Eliz: Now it's time for Gary's tips with Gary Engleton! Gary: Hello, Elizabeth. Today we'll look at some more ways to respond to suggestions. There are ways to show agreement in English—words like “OK,” “Sure”, “Fine" - and so on. Let's listen to the first part of the Business Dialog. Bob suggests that he and John meet that afternoon. Bob: Hi John. I was wondering if we could get together sometime this afternoon? I'd like to go over our sales forecasts. John: Sure, Bob. That's fine. Gary: John says “Sure, that's fine” to accept Bob's suggestion. Then he politely asks John to suggest a meeting time. Let's listen. John: When is good for you? Bob: How about 3:00? John: That sounds good. Gary: “That sounds good” is a good way to accept a meeting time. John asks Bob to suggest a place for the meeting. Let's listen. John: Where shall we meet? Bob: I can come to your office. Or the conference room might be more comfortable. John: OK. Let's meet in the conference room. Gary: Bob suggests two places for the meeting - John's office or the conference room. John chooses the conference room by saying directly: “OK. Let's meet in the conference room.” (short pause) Gary: Now listen to a conversation which does not go so smoothly. Bob: Hi John. I was wondering of we could get together sometime this afternoon? John: I'm sorry but I'm busy all afternoon. Can we make it some other time? Gary: The expression “I'm sorry but...” is a polite way to refuse a suggestion. That's all the time we have. Thanks for joining us today for Gary's Tips. We'll see you again next time. Eliz: Thanks, Gary. MUSIC
Eliz: Well, our time is up. Tune in again next time for Functioning in Business. See you then! Music
