【参照范例】
A:Hi, Jason and Mark, shall we discuss the work experience programme for a while?
B: No problem, I heard that the students were from a local business college and had no technical knowledge in manufacturing. So I wonder whether they could fit it here. After all, our company manufactures mobile phones.
C: No worries, our company can provide work experience that doesn’t require professional skills.
A: That’s right, I have decided to carry out the programme in the after sale department. Students should take a two days training before they their work and the after sale department will arrange several experienced staff to supervise their work, the students are expected to develop their skills in customer service and learn to deal with customers’ complaints and help the companies to improve their products image and service.
B: It seems you have got everything settled down.
A: Not yet.
C: Then what shall we do next?
A: The selection of participants. The company can offer the working experience for 20 students. Could you give me some suggestions on selecting the ideal participants for the programme?
B: In my opinion, ideal participants should be junior students because they have time to take part in this programme and have been trained formally in business college for more than two years. Students should also be proficient in English because a number of our clients speak English. Mark, what do you think?
C: I agree with you. What’s more, potential participants will be asked to take an English speaking test before the programme starts. In addition, students should have a good attendance record and academic performance in school because they are in a demanding work environment which requires them to follow strict discipline and work as a team.
A: Thank you very much to your advice. Now, there just one thing left, the feedback and evaluation of the programme.
B: I think after the sale department should have meetings for students at the end of every working day to help them conclude their work.
C: And after the programme ends, students are required to write a report of their work experience in our company, the report should include the arrangement of the programmme, the training classes in the after sale department, work experience during the two weeks, the things they have learned and the problems, troubles they have met. They are encouraged add anything they want to the report.
A: Good ideas. Finally, I think the supervisors will give each student a grade for the programme based on their performance and other standards of evaluation.

A: It is nice to join this programme and work with you two.
B: The honor is mine. I think we should start from the preparation because a good start is the half of the success.
C: You are absolutely right. I think we should start from selection the trainees.
A: In your mind, who will benefit most from the training programme?
B: I believe staff from the marketing department will do. They use English a lot in their work, but in the beginning, we should make it an open opportunity to everyone. I mean everyone should have the access to this language training programme, and when people find it difficult or unrelated to their working field, they will naturally quit. In this way, we will figure out who needs the training most.
C: You have my vote here. We have to make sure that the selection of the trainee is open and fair. Then how to encourage the staff to attend the training? What if they are unwilling to spend their time doing this?
A: We can make this training programme a part of the annual performance evaluation. By doing so, the staff will realize the importance of it.
B: That is definitely a perfect motivation. Ok, let’s move on to what programme fits most.
C: We have plenty of choices and various teaching methods and syllabus will result in different commands of a foreign language. I think here the million dollar question is in what form the training programme should be carried out. Personally, I prefer syllabus containing business writing and speaking because according to my experience they are the most practical for the time being.
A: I can’t agree more. We have to make sure through the language training the company can indeed benefit from it. In other words, what ever the programme is, it has to be related to our business life.
B: Exactly! I am thinking about a renowned language training organization. They use communicative and situational teaching methods and can ask them to design the programme.
C: Ok, you have my vote. Some professional opinions can do no harm.

A: Ok, let’s get start to make some arrangement of the trip. If you have any opinions, please feel free to share it here.
B: I think the selection of the participants is the essential part. If we send out the wrong guy, there will be no room to fix it when it is over.
C: Yes, I agree. The member of the programme must have something in common, yet something distinctive. So they can learn from each other and depend on each other, we can meet the HR and refer to their education background, their specialty and so forth.
A: I see eye to eye with you on this point. Now, let’s move on to the next item. That is, what work and leisure acclivities we should offer them.
B: Since it is a trip designed to enhance team-working spirit, we should involve corporative activities such as hiking, ball games etc. so they can get to know each other. C, do you have any comment on this? What’s your proposal?
C: I generally agree with you on that, but I’m thinking of something innovative. Hiking and ball games are cool, but there are organizations providing more interesting programmes enhancing team working spirit. My former company once has training in the suburb and we had a lot of fun because they provided activities full of imagination and excitement.
A: Ok, we can consult that organization you just mentioned and make the decision later. Any way, it’s a good thing to have more choices, but whatever form it is, we also have to think about how to evaluate the success of the trip. That is to say, when they come back, how do we know they are a better team or not? What if the members didn’t learn much from it?
B: We can ask them to write a report and see what happens during the trip. Or we can even ask them to keep journals and note whatever they come across and whatever they feel.
C: With regard to the evaluation, I may choose otherwise. I prefer to give them an assignment, that’s the best way to see whether they are better individuals and better members of the team. You know, action speaks louder than words.
A: Or, we can do both. I think both of you came up with excellent idea.
B: Two heads are always better than one.
C: I assume the trip will be a success.

I agree with you.
I see what you mean.
That’s absolutely true.
【参照范例】
A: Now, let’s discuss the details of the programme for the visit of our foreign clients coming next Thursday. I think we should finalize the programme this afternoon.
B: Yeah, I have made reservation in Hilton Hotel and I’ll pick them up in the airport.
C: Good job. Will you be able to accompany them during their visit as well?
B: I’m afraid not. I’ll be away on a business trip next Friday, so we will have to find someone else to do this job.
A: How about Linda? She’s well-acquainted with our company’s business and her English is very good.
B: Yes, Linda is lovely and considerate. She’s perfect for the job.
C: I agree. I enjoy working with her, too. By the way, there are more than 30 members in this group, how about letting David assist Linda?
A: That’s a good point. All right then, let’s moves on to the next item. What kinds of activities would be suitable for their visit? We haven’t decided on that.
B: They will be staying here for three days including one non-working day. So I think we should arrange a tour in our company and a meeting with the concerned department and staff. I know some clients would renew their contracts with our company during this visit.
A: And I suggest we should leave one day for sightseeing because for most of these foreign clients, this is their first visit to Beijing.
C: Of course, the last day of their visit is Saturday, it’s non-working day. How about taking them to some tourist attractions on that day? Such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and the Tiananmen Square.
B: Good idea, but do you think a one-day tour can include so many places?
C: Well, that’s a tough question. What’s more, Saturday is a public holiday, so I suppose there must be a lot of people in those places, which will take up more time.
A: Absolutely, so I think we should have an early start on Saturday. We’ll first take them to the Great Wall in the morning, and visit the Forbidden City and the Tiananmen Square in the afternoon. The Summer Palace has to be left out this time.
B: Yeah, I agree with you.
A: Ok, we’ll have a one day for sightseeing, and two days for business. We’ve just arranged a company tour and a meeting. And I think we still got a lot of time to cover.
C: I’ve contacted our clients and they told me they want to see and experience our latest products.
B: Well, we’re going to have a big launch of them next month, and I am not sure whether it is a good time to display the products to them before the launch.
A: Maybe we can have a video presentation for them.
B: Wonderful! And we can follow the presentation with a discussion on our latest products.
A: Right on! What else should we take into account before finalizing the programme?
B: Oh, I almost forgot, is there any Muslims in
