In this interactive lesson, I'm going to teach you how to make and respond to suggestions during a meeting.

You'll learn 12 extremely useful phrases and you'll practice using them with me in realistic meeting dialogues.

Hi there, I'm Derek and this is English for Professionals, the best place to improve your professional communication skills for work.

This lesson is actually one of 21 lessons in my 21-day meetings challenge.

A complete course that gives you all of the phrases and strategies to go into any meeting and communicate confidently and professionally.

The challenge also includes downloadable PDF guides,

quizzes, mp3 audio to listen on the go and a complete meetings toolkit.

I've left a link in the video description below

so feel free to check it out and get more info

and now let's start the lesson by talking about why making suggestions is important

so first of all making suggestions helps bring new ideas

and improvements often leading to better ways of doing things

and the second point you have valuable ideas and opinions to share

and you want to get involved you want to make your voice heard

and making suggestions is a great way to do that.

The other point we have here is that it supports teamwork.

Sharing your ideas helps everybody to work together and consider different viewpoints which can be really important for building team spirit.

Okay so those were a few notes about why making suggestions is important.

Now let's move on to our key phrases.

So the first section we're going to focus on is actually

introducing ideas and suggestions and we look at a couple of informal examples first

so these ones are for spontaneous ideas

and suggestions first one i haven't thought this through yet

but how about we try a new marketing strategy

so how about we a great very very common way to make a suggestion second one this might sound crazy

but why don't we organize a team building retreat Why don't we?

Very similar to how about we.

Next we have some neutral phrases so not informal or formal somewhere in the middle.

Here's something that might be worth thinking about.

Extending our customer service hours.

Or I'm not sure if this will work in practice but maybe we could implement a flexible working schedule.

Next we have some more formal ways to make suggestions.

Perhaps we could consider partnering with a local charity for our next campaign.

Or, one potential approach might be to invest in new project management software to streamline our processes.

Okay so there we have some great phrases for introducing suggestions.

Now let's take a look at reacting to suggestions.

And first of all we look at reacting positively.

Our first example is an informal one.

Brilliant idea.

I can't think of any reason not to try this new marketing strategy

or the neutral one that's definitely worth considering it could really benefit our project timeline

and the formal example i'm absolutely convinced

that would work let's move forward with this plan now we don't always have to respond positively

if a suggestion is made and we don't like it

or we have a different viewpoint we should make our voices heard let's take a look

so reacting negatively to

or challenging suggestions an informal example wouldn't it be better to try option two first and see how it works

a neutral example i'm sorry

but i don't believe this is the right way forward we will probably lose a lot of customers

if we go in this direction and the formal version i'm sorry

but shouldn't we consider the potential impact this could have on our business operations?

Excellent!

So some really useful phrases there for responding to suggestions.

Now it's practice time.

We're going to practice four short meeting dialogues with my simple three-step method.

First I'll read the whole dialogue and you just read along and listen.

Pay attention to my pronunciation, sentence stress

and my intonation then we'll read the dialogue together you'll take

the role of you you'll see what I mean in a moment

and finally we read the dialogue together a second time

but this time the key phrase is missing can you remember it

and the first dialogue we're going to practice is informal suggesting

so I'm going to read the full dialogue first I haven't thought this through yet

but how How about we host a monthly webinar to engage with our clients?

That could work.

What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?

We could cover industry trends and provide tips on how to maximise the use of our products.

OK and now we'll do it together.

You take the role of you and I'll be the colleague.

You can start now. That could work.

What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?

Okay, great.

Now we're going to practice it again, but this time with the missing phrase.

Are you ready?

You can start now. That could work.

What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?

Okay, let's see if you got it right.

Here's the answer.

I haven't thought this through yet.

It's a little bit difficult

that one with with with all of those ths i haven't

thought this through yet okay next dialogue to practice we're going to do a formal example

and i'm going to read the full dialogue first this one

is a conversation with your boss one potential approach might be

to extend our customer service hours to improve client satisfaction that's

a good suggestion how do you propose we manage the additional hours.

We could rotate shifts among the current team and consider hiring part-time staff if needed.

Okay, now let's practice it together and you can start now.

That's a good suggestion.

How do you propose we manage the additional hours?

OK, and now let's focus on that key phrase.

We're going to practice it now.

Can you remember it?

And you can start now.

That's a good suggestion.

How do you propose we manage the additional hours?

Okay, let's see if you got it right.

One potential approach might be two.

Okay, good.

100

Our third dialogue is where we're going to practice responding positively.

101

So I'm going to read it in full first.

102

It's an informal version.

103

How about we create a dedicated feedback portal for our customers?

104

Brilliant idea.

105

I can't think of any reason not to try this approach.

106

Great.

107

I'll start working on the design and functionality of the portal.

108

OK, great.

109

So now let's read it together.

110

I start.

111

How about we create a dedicated feedback portal for our customers?

112

Great, I'll start working on the design and functionality of the portal.

113

Okay, and now with the missing phrase.

114

I start.

115

How about we create a dedicated feedback portal for our customers?

116

Great.

117

I'll start working on the design and functionality of the portal.

118

Now, I hope you got that one right.

119

It's a very short phrase.

120

Brilliant idea.

121

Okay, excellent.

122

And now let's move on and practice our final short dialogue.

123

This time we're responding negatively to a suggestion made by the boss.

124

I suggest we cut down on employee training programs to save costs.

125

I'm sorry, but shouldn't we consider the potential impact this could have on employee performance and satisfaction?

126

Cutting training programs might hinder our team's development.

127

I see your point, but we need to find a way to balance the budget.

128

Can you suggest any other areas where we might cut costs?

129

Okay, now let's read it together.

130

I suggest we cut down on employee training programs to save costs.

131

I see your point, but we need to find a way to balance the budget.

132

Can you suggest any other areas where we might cut costs?

133

Okay, and now with the missing phrase.

134

Can you remember it?

135

I suggest we cut down on employee training programs to save costs.

136

I see your point, but we need to find a way to balance the budget.

137

Can you suggest any other areas where we might cut costs?

138

Okay, let's see if you got that one right.

139

I'm sorry, but shouldn't we consider?

140

Excellent.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
