Conversation, Conversation, Conversation. If there’s a “secret” or “hack” to
learning a new language, it’s this: hours and hours of awkward and strenuous
conversation with people better than you in that language-the reason is that
language is something that needs to be processed, not memorized.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 115%;">
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">2. Start
with the 100 most common vocabulary words and then make sentences with them
over and over again. Learn just enough grammar to be able to do this and do it
until you feel pretty comfortable with all of them.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">3. Carry
a pocket dictionary which can be downloaded on your phone, there was an
immediate difference. Having it on your phone is great, because it takes two
seconds to look something up in the middle of conversation. And because you’re
using it in conversation, you’re that much more likely to recall it later. Even
something that simple affected my conversations and ability to interact with
locals a great deal.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">4. Keep
practicing in your head. The other use for your dictionary is that you can
practice while going about your day and not talking to anyone. Challenge
yourself to think in the new language. We all have monologues running in our
head, and typically they run in our native tongue. You can continue to practice
and construct sentences and fake conversations in your head in a new language.
In fact, this sort of visualization leads to much easier conversations when you
actually have them. For instance, you can envision and practice a conversation
about a topic you’re likely to have before you actually have it. You can begin
to think about how you would describe your job and explain why you’re in the
foreign country in the new language. Inevitably, those questions will come up
and you’ll be ready to answer them.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">5. Be
regular with your lessons as they are important for getting you from absolutely
no ability in a language to being able to speak basic sentences and phrases
within a few days time. They’re also good for teaching the fundamental
vocabulary (words such as: the, I, you, eat, want, thanks, etc.) and grammar
rules.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">6. When
you learn a new word, try to use it a few times right away. When you stop and
look up a new word in conversation, make a point to use it in the next two or
three sentences you say. Language learning studies show that you need to hit a
certain amount of repetitions of saying a word within one minute of learning
it, one hour of learning it, one day, etc. Try to use it immediately a few
times and then use it again later in the day. Chances are it’ll stick.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">7. TV
shows, movies, newspapers and magazines are a good supplementation. But they
should not be mistaken or replacements for legitimate practice.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">8. There
will be a lot of ambiguity and miscommunication. Fact of the matter is that for
many, many words, the translations are not direct. These subtle differences can
add up, particularly in serious or emotional conversations. Intentions can be
easily misconstrued. Nuanced conversations over important matters will likely
require double the effort to nail down the exact meaning for each person than
it would between two native speakers. No matter how good you are in your new
language, you’re not likely to have a complete grasp over the slight intuitive
differences between each word, phrase or idiom that a native speaker does
without living in the country for years.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">9. These
are the phases you go through. First, you’re able to speak a little and
understand nothing. Then you’re able to understand far more than you speak.
Then you become conversational, but it requires quite a bit of mental effort.
After that, you’re able to speak and understand without conscious mental effort
(i.e., you don’t have to translate words into your native tongue in your mind).
Once you’re able to speak and listen without thinking about it, you’ll begin to
actually think in the foreign language itself without effort. Once this
happens, you’re really hitting a high level.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; background: white;">10.
Finally, find a way to make it fun. As with anything, if you’re going to stick
to it, you have to find a way to make it fun. Find people you enjoy talking to.
Go to events where you can practice while doing something fun.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></span><br />

תבנית לכתיבת אי-מייל עסקי</h2>
<div style="direction: rtl;">
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: right;">
מכיוון שכתיבת מיילים הפכה לצורת התכתבות שכיחה, יש לזכור שמיילים עסקיים הם מסמכים רשמיים לכל דבר. לכן חשוב לכתוב בצורה רהוטה ומתומצתת וכן להשתמש בפתיח, סיומת, משפטים שלמים ובכללי הפיסוק המקובלים בכתיבה פורמאלית. להלן תבנית כללית של המייל העסקי הכוללת משפטי מפתח אפשריים לכל פסקה במכתב:</div>

<b><u>Transcript</u></b></div>
Welcome back to the Skills 360 podcast. I’m your host Tim Simmons, and today we’re going to explore the topic of negotiations.<br />
Negotiation is something we all have to do on some level. You might be part of a team discussing a huge contract, or on the phone trying to get a good deal on office supplies, or in your manager’s office asking for a raise. Negotiation happens every day. In fact, you might say that in business everything is negotiable.<br />
To kick off, we’re going to look at what you do before you start negotiating. That’s right, this is about doing your groundwork. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of being prepared, not matter what type of negotiation you’re headed into. The more you know and understand going in, the better deal you’ll walk out with.<br />
So where do you start? Well, good preparation begins with learning about the other party.<br />
You want to understand their style, personality, and the way their groups work. And you also want to understand their negotiating style. What exactly do we mean by “style”? No, this isn’t whether they dress conservatively or casually. This is about how they negotiate. Are they formal or informal? Are they analytical or emotional? Are they aggressive or passive?<br />
Knowing these things will help you tailor your response and approach. For example, if you walk into a negotiation and open with an informal and slightly aggressive approach, but the<br />
other party is accustomed to more formal and rational negotiations, you may put them off.<br />
Of course, a lot of negotiating style comes down to culture. Germans, Koreans, Russians, and Indians will all negotiate differently. So do a bit of research and find out how these groups<br />
typically approach a negotiation. This will reduce misunderstanding and help you craft your<br />
own approach.<br />
Beyond style, you need to know how the other group operates. How do they make decisions?<br />
Are they aiming for group consensus? Or is there a top dog who you need to focus on swaying your way? Does the person in front of you have the authority to sign off on a deal?<br />
These are things you need to know. So do your homework and find out exactly what you’ll be facing.<br />
Great. Now you also need to understand the other party’s position. That is, what exactly do they want and need? And what are they willing and unwilling to give up? To do this, you can try to get inside information, analyze their business situation, and find out about previous deals. Why did they succeed or fail?<br />
Everyone heads into a negotiation with a list of priorities. It might not be written down anywhere. It could just be a general idea like: we can’t play around with price too much, but the timeline is less important. If you know this, you have power. You can also benefit from information about their options. If they can’t make a deal with you, do they have others waiting? Or are you the only one who can give them what they need? How time-sensitive is a deal? Can they wait? Or is that simply not an option for them? Again, this type of information will help you immensely during the negotiation.<br />
Understanding the other party’s position is also necessary in order to figure out your own basic positions. And you shouldn’t have one position in mind. In fact, you should have three.<br />
There’s your dream deal, your expected deal, and your deal breaker. Put another way: what do you really hope for, what can you be satisfied with, and what will you not settle for?<br />
Remember, your reach must exceed your grasp. In other words, aim for more than you think you’re likely to get. But don’t forget that you’re probably going to have to compromise somewhere.<br />
The final aspect of preparation I want to touch on is mental preparation. Be strong, not anxious. Think of the negotiation as a discussion between equals, not a boxing match in<br />
which there’s a clear winner and loser. Making too strong of a power play or appearing too subordinate will hurt you. So relax and treat the negotiation as a problem to be solved with the other party.<br />
In this way, negotiation is just like anything else in life. The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to succeed. So don’t leave too much to chance. Get ready, and get negotiating.<br />
That’s all for today. I’ll be back next week with some tips on what to do during the negotiation. We’ll talk about control, concessions, and, yes, money.<br />
If you’d like to test yourself on what we’ve just covered, have a look at the www.myBEonline.com website. There you’ll find a quiz about today’s show as well as a complete transcript.<br />
So long. And see you again soon.<br />

<b>Price tag</b>: the overall cost of a project or item; “The price tag is just too high for the average person.”<br />
<b>Heading</b>: to be going somewhere; “Frank Hebert is heading over to our New England office for the next two years.”<br />
<b>No skin off one’s back</b>: if something is “no skin off one’s back,” it means it is not a problem to give it up or let it happen; “It’s no skin off my back if you decide to leave early today.”<br />
<b>To be desperate</b>: wanting or needing something very much; “Colleen was desperate to hire more staff because sales had doubled over the previous two months.”<br />
<b>To soften</b>: to become more flexible or less demanding; “After three long weeks of negotiation, management softened their position on the issue of wage increases.”<br />
<b><u>Transcript</u></b><br />
Welcome back to the Skills 360 podcast for the second part of our look at getting the most out of your negotiations. I’m your host Tim Simmons and today we’re going to tackle the actual negotiation. What should you be thinking about and saying when you’re sitting down at the table working on a deal?<br />
Let’s start with the idea of control and restraint. And here I’m talking about controlling yourself. You might want to go in with guns blazing and overpower the other party with a show of strength. But that is usually the wrong thing to do. You<br />
might scare them right out of the room. Enter the negotiations calm, cool, and collected. Like I said in the last episode, treat it as a business discussion. So discuss, don’t attack. Now, a wise man once said ‘we have two ears and one mouth and we should use<br />
them in those proportions’. In other words: listen more than you speak. When you listen, you get information. And the more information you have, the better your position. Listening also makes the other party feel validated. And that’s important,<br />
because if they feel they are not being heard, you have slimmer chances of success.<br />
Of course, the other party might not have listened to this podcast. They might be belligerent or have poor listening skills. They might use fear or pressure tactics. But remember, if you lose your cool in the face of these methods, it means they work.<br />
So continue to show restraint and resist emotional responses. This is business, and you shouldn’t take things personally, even when it feels personal.<br />
Okay, so that’s all about control and restraint. Now how can you deal with the actual give and take of a negotiation? Well, I’ve got a few tips for you. First of all, when you talk about money, don’t be the first to give a number. You might miss out on a<br />
sweet deal if you divulge too much information. For example, maybe your company designs websites and you’re in talks with a big company about a project. Their budget might be much bigger than what you usually charge. If you learn that, you stand to gain a lot.<br />
But you also need to remember not to get too hung up on money. Price might be an important point, maybe even the most important point to you, but it’s never the only one. Some negotiations get stuck on the issue and never move past it. There could be a great deal possible for both parties but they don’t even realize it because<br />
they’re not talking about other terms.<br />
Negotiations are all about concessions. You get some, and you give some away. And hopefully you get more than you give. So you should always be looking for the chance to gain concessions. Never give anything away for free! If the other party says “oh, we need this faster than the three months you propose,” then you can say<br />
“well, that will come with a higher price tag.” And when you make concessions, try to find ones that are easy for you but very valuable to the other party. For example, maybe a client wants fast delivery on an order. You already have a half-full delivery truck heading their way, so it’s no skin off your back. But you don’t tell them that.<br />
You make the concession and ask for something valuable in return.<br />
I mentioned that some negotiations get stuck. That’s okay. It happens. And when it does, don’t be desperate. According to some experts, the key to successful negotiating is the willingness to walk away. If you need a deal, you’ll get a bad one.<br />
If you are prepared to not make a deal, you may get a better one. When the other party knows that you can and might walk away, they may soften their position.<br />
Great stuff. So remember what we’ve talked about: exercise restraint, don’t take things personally, look beyond money, make sure you get more than you give, and be willing to walk away. With those things in mind, you’re sure to walk out of your next negotiation with a smile on your face.<br />
That’s all for today. If you’d like to test yourself on what we’ve just covered, have a look at the myBEonline.com website. There you’ll find a quiz about today’s show as well as a complete transcript.<br />
So long. And see you again soon!<br />

<strong>האדם שמאחורי</strong> </div>
</strong><div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
זכור כי מאחורי כל מחשב נמצא אדם. כאשר אתה "מדבר" באמצעות דואר אלקטרוני, המכותב אינו שומע את קולך ואינו רואה את הבעת פניך, ולכן עלול להיפגע כתוצאה מפרשנות לא נכונה של דבריך. בחר בקפידה את מילותיך ודייק במסר. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
2</div>
<strong><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: right;">
<strong> קצר ולעניין </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
</strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- דואר אלקטרוני הוא כלי עסקי – אופן השימוש בו חייב לשקף זאת. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- הצגת הנושא אמורה להיות תמציתית וברורה. הדבר יסייע לעמיתך </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
להבין את המסר. סיכוייך לקבל תשובה עניינית ומהירה יגברו בהתאם. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- המנע ככל הניתן משליחת מסרים ארוכים במיוחד, או מהעברת תמונות, קטעי וידאו וכד'. דואר "כבד" דורש זמן הורדה ארוך, ואף עלול למלא את נפח תא הדואר של המקבל ולחבל בעבודתו. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
3</div>
<strong style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
<strong>בדואר אלקטרוני גם הקנקן חשוב</strong></div>
</strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- המכתבים שאתה כותב באמצעות דואר אלקטרוני משקפים את גישתך לעסקים ומשמשים ככרטיס הביקור שלך. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- בפניה ראשונה, אמץ טון כתיבה רשמי, המבטא הערכה. בתרבויות שונות, קשרים עסקיים מתנהלים בסגנון רשמי יותר מהמקובל אצלנו. היה ערני לסגנון הכתיבה של האדם איתו אתה מתכתב. תן לו לקבוע את מידת הקרבה ואת הסגנון, ו"העתק" אותו. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- היה מנומס. כלול את המילים "תודה", "בבקשה" וכד' בתקשורת הכתובה, בדיוק כפי שאתה כולל אותן בתקשורת מילולית. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- הקפד על כללי הדקדוק, והמנע משגיאות כתיב. כתוב משפטים קצרים, וחלק את מכתבך לפסקאות כנדרש. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- כתיבה באותיות לועזיות גדולות בלבד בדואר אלקטרוני נחשבת לצעקה, ואינה מקובלת. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- כתוב מסר ברור, שאינו כולל קיצורים מיותרים ולא מוכרים, אינו "מתחכם", ואינו דורש "פענוח". </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- אל תפנה אל האדם אליו אתה כותב בשמו הפרטי, אלא אם הוא פנה אליך כך קודם לכן. התארים בהם רצוי להשתמש: </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Mr. - מר, אדון – בפניה לגבר </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Mrs. - גברת - בפניה לאישה נשואה </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Miss - עלמה - בפניה לאישה לא נשואה . יש הרואות בשימוש ב- Miss פניה בעלת אופי מתנשא, לכן השימוש ב- Ms. עדיף </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Ms. – אישה - נשים רבות מעדיפות תואר זה, הנחשב למקבילה הנשית של Mr. , אינה מתייחסת למצב המשפחתי ומתאימה לאשת העסקים בת ימינו. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Dr. - פניה לבעל/ת תואר דוקטור </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
Prof. - Professor – פניה לבעל/ת תואר פרופסור.. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- סיים את המכתב בברכה מתאימה, בשמך המלא, בתואר תפקידך ובשם החברה. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- זכור כי "שיחת" e-mail מונצחת בכתב. חרטה על מילים מיותרות שנכתבו לא תמחק אותן. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
4</div>
<strong style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
<strong>עצור!</strong> </div>
</strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- עשה לך כלל: בטרם תשלח את מכתבך, עבור עליו שוב בעין ביקורתית. וודא כי אתה שולח אותו לכתובת הנכונה. אם אתה עונה למכתב שנשלח למספר מכותבים, וודא כי תשובתך נשלחת לגורמים הרלוונטיים בלבד, לאו דווקא לכל המופיעים ברשימת המכותבים במקורית. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- אם קבלת בטעות דואר המיועד לאחר – החזר אותו אל השולח, תוך ציון הטעות, וכמובן – המנע מלקרוא אותו. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
5</div>
<strong><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: right;">
<strong>שורת הנושא </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
</strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
נסח בקפידה את שורת הנושא של מכתבך (Subject:). על הנושא למשוך את תשומת לבו של המכותב, להיות קצר ומדויק ולשקף את תוכן המסר. לדוגמא, “Meeting with CEO” עדיף על “Meeting planned”. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
6</div>
<strong style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
<strong>.ויפה שעה אחת קודם</strong></div>

</div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
השימוש בדואר אלקטרוני יצר דינאמיקה, המהירה מזו של התכתבות באמצעות מכתבים או בפקס. השתדל לענות על דואר אלקטרוני נכנס תוך 24 שעות ממועד קבלתו, גם בימים עמוסים. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
7</div>
<strong><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: right;">
<strong> הזכות לפרטיות </strong></div>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
</strong><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">
- כתובת דואר אלקטרוני כמוה כמספר טלפון – הפעל את אותו שיקול הדעת בטרם תמסור את הכתובת לאדם שלישי. במקרה של ספק - בקש תחילה את רשות בעל הכתובת. </div>
</span><div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: right;">

בדיקת הדואר האלקטרוני במהלך פגישת עסקים משדרת זלזול בשותפים לפגישה – המנע מכך. היוצא מן הכלל הוא, כמובן, מצב בו גם המשתתפים עצמם ממתינים לקבלת הודעה דחופה. </div>

המענה האוטומטי מאפשר לך להודיע לפונים אליך באמצעות דואר אלקטרוני כי תעדר מן המשרד עד תאריך מסוים, וכי תתייחס לדואר שנשלח אליך עם שובך. מענה מסוג זה לא יותיר את האנשים עמם אתה נמצא בקשר עסקי במצב של אי בהירות, ויחזק את תדמיתך כאיש עסקים אחראי ומסודר. </div>

</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: right;">

</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: right;">
מקו = - = dash, hyphen (דש, או: הייפן) </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: right;">

<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2 </strong>Ask the students to write this down on a piece of paper. Remind them quickly about the email/s in the last lesson, and explain that you are going to write similar ones in a chain round the class. However it is not a memory exercise, they shouldn’t refer directly to the earlier emails, and students can develop the email in whatever way they want. Looking at a phrase bank to help them is fine.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3</strong> Each student adds their own second sentence to the email, then passes their paper to the person on their left, who adds one more sentence. They continue writing and passing, one sentence at a time.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4</strong> Whenever an email is complete, that particular student keeps it until the end, when they read it out for everyone to hear.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(241, 241, 241); border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Follow-up language work. </strong>I’m sure you can think of lots. Personally I would use blu-tac to stick all the emails on the walls around the room, and then the students can go round looking at them (like at pictures in an art gallery). At the end I would ask them which ideas and which language they liked best. I would finish with a few additional comments of my own about good structure, good use of language, and areas for reformulation into more complex or more appropriate or more accurate language.</div>

collection between 3 and 5 PM on Thursday 21 October, so I would be grateful if
you could arrange for it to be collected at that time. They have agreed to
include the sunroof, remote alarm and the CD player at the price we originally
agreed. I've also arranged for your old car to be collected from the car park at
Head Office on the afternoon of the same day. Please let me know immediately of
any faults that you notice. When we're paying this amount of money for a car it
should be perfect! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Subject: Innovations in Drugs Conference 21st October</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've just had a phone conversation with Frank Fielding of Kemiko, who are the major drug manufacturing company organizing</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> the above conference.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">He tells me that there is going to be a presentation by the manufacturers of</span><span style="font-size: medium;">Supranine, a revolutionary new drug for hay fever sufferers that has just been approved for sale over the counter by r</span><span style="font-size: medium;">etailers in this country.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've read several reviews of this new drug, and it looks set to take a very large share of the o</span><span style="font-size: medium;">verall market.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I feel that the market in hay fever remedies is one that we have never properly got to grips with in this company, and s</span><span style="font-size: medium;">ince the size of this sector of the market expands every year, we must do something about this. We also regularly s</span><span style="font-size: medium;">ee drug sales plummet in the spring and summer months when cold remedies are not selling - increased sales of hay f</span><span style="font-size: medium;">ever products would help to reduce this.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">I've arranged a meeting with Karen for the week after the conference to discuss this, but she is on holiday the week b</span><span style="font-size: medium;">efore and therefore cannot attend the conference itself. I want you to make sure that you bring back a copy of all h</span><span style="font-size: medium;">andouts relating to this product and any other information that you think we'll need when coming to our decision as to w</span><span style="font-size: medium;">hether or not to market this product.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>What do you do?</strong></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A - Attend the conference</span></div>

Good morning Group 1,</div>
<div>
In the last lesson I asked you all to go to the web site.</div>
<div>
I sent you homework to do - 2 units to study, practice and be ready to do
the exercises at the bottom of the units in class.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I asked you to find a 'Flex Buddy' from the group and arrange some time to
study and speak together.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So far nobody from the group has registered on the 'Flex Buddies' page and
so I understand that nobody has done the homework.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Homework is not optional - practice is the only way to improve your
English.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Please be ready to speak and have conversations in class today - personal
introduction and work description.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Everyone participates please.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Have a great day, </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div>
I have attached 2 more units so, as I told you in class, you have now a
choice of 5 units to study, individually or with a 'buddy'. Practice the dialogs
and the exercises and prepare at least 1 of the 'tranfer' or 'role play' at the
bottom of each unit to discuss together in class.</div>
<div>
Make your appointments for your 'Buddy' sessions by email and CC me
in.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Send me copies of emails that you have from work to discuss.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Start thinking about a 'negotiation' situation connected with work for a
class simulation later.</div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've completed final negotiations with the garage supplying your new company car.

Things to do:</div>
<div>
1) HW - 2 units attached to practice and prepare before next lesson.</div>
<div>
2) Find a friend from the group to practice with and register it on the
page:
<br />
<div>
<a href="http://flextronicsisrael.blogspot.co.il/?zx=5d3653183decd139" title="http://flextronicsisrael.blogspot.co.il/?zx=5d3653183decd139">http://flextronicsisrael.blogspot.co.il/?zx=5d3653183decd139</a>. If
you can't access the site then send me your gmail and I will allow you
access.</div>
- it can be a simple 10 minute conversation, chat about work or
doing the HW units together.</div>
<div>
3) Prepare to speak in the lesson next week - personal introduction and
work related discussion.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The <span style="color: red;"><strong><em>ONLY</em></strong></span> way to
improve your English is to use it and practice, practice, practice. </div>
