Teamwork 3: 语言专家

本期节目

We have seen that in the early stages of doing a job courtesy 礼貌 can help you establish good relations with your colleagues. Do you have the language you need to make requests and to thank people for helping¹ you in a natural way?

In this programme you will hear a clip of someone on the first day of an internship² who uses some authentic³ phrases to get people to help her. Our language expert Simon Cuddihy practises these phrases with our regular panel of Chinese students from the LSE.

在收听之前

Think about the following questions:

Have you ever been to an English-speaking country? 

What were the differences in that country from China in what counted as polite behaviour?

Now imagine that you are on holiday in London. You have lost your way and need to ask for directions. What polite language would you use to stop people and to ask for help, and to thank them for sending you the right way?
