I've left a link in the video description below
9
so feel free to check it out and get more info
10
and now let's start the lesson by talking about why making suggestions is important
11
so first of all making suggestions helps bring new ideas
12
and improvements often leading to better ways of doing things
13
and the second point you have valuable ideas and opinions to share
14
and you want to get involved you want to make your voice heard
15
and making suggestions is a great way to do that.
16
The other point we have here is that it supports teamwork.
17
Sharing your ideas helps everybody to work together and consider different viewpoints which can be really important for building team spirit.
18
Okay so those were a few notes about why making suggestions is important.
19
Now let's move on to our key phrases.
20
So the first section we're going to focus on is actually
21
introducing ideas and suggestions and we look at a couple of informal examples first
22
so these ones are for spontaneous ideas
23
and suggestions first one i haven't thought this through yet
24
but how about we try a new marketing strategy
25
so how about we a great very very common way to make a suggestion second one this might sound crazy
26
but why don't we organize a team building retreat Why don't we?
27
Very similar to how about we.
28
Next we have some neutral phrases so not informal or formal somewhere in the middle.
29
Here's something that might be worth thinking about.
30
Extending our customer service hours.
31
Or I'm not sure if this will work in practice but maybe we could implement a flexible working schedule.
32
Next we have some more formal ways to make suggestions.
33
Perhaps we could consider partnering with a local charity for our next campaign.
34
Or, one potential approach might be to invest in new project management software to streamline our processes.
35
Okay so there we have some great phrases for introducing suggestions.
36
Now let's take a look at reacting to suggestions.
37
And first of all we look at reacting positively.
38
Our first example is an informal one.
39
Brilliant idea.
40
I can't think of any reason not to try this new marketing strategy
41
or the neutral one that's definitely worth considering it could really benefit our project timeline
42
and the formal example i'm absolutely convinced
43
that would work let's move forward with this plan now we don't always have to respond positively
44
if a suggestion is made and we don't like it
45
or we have a different viewpoint we should make our voices heard let's take a look
46
so reacting negatively to
47
or challenging suggestions an informal example wouldn't it be better to try option two first and see how it works
48
a neutral example i'm sorry
49
but i don't believe this is the right way forward we will probably lose a lot of customers
50
if we go in this direction and the formal version i'm sorry
51
but shouldn't we consider the potential impact this could have on our business operations?
52
Excellent!
53
So some really useful phrases there for responding to suggestions.
54
Now it's practice time.
55
We're going to practice four short meeting dialogues with my simple three-step method.
56
First I'll read the whole dialogue and you just read along and listen.
57
Pay attention to my pronunciation, sentence stress
58
and my intonation then we'll read the dialogue together you'll take
59
the role of you you'll see what I mean in a moment
60
and finally we read the dialogue together a second time
61
but this time the key phrase is missing can you remember it
62
and the first dialogue we're going to practice is informal suggesting
63
so I'm going to read the full dialogue first I haven't thought this through yet
64
but how How about we host a monthly webinar to engage with our clients?
65
That could work.
66
What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?
67
We could cover industry trends and provide tips on how to maximise the use of our products.
68
OK and now we'll do it together.
69
You take the role of you and I'll be the colleague.
70
You can start now. That could work.
71
What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?
72
Okay, great.
73
Now we're going to practice it again, but this time with the missing phrase.
74
Are you ready?
75
You can start now. That could work.
76
What topics do you have in mind for the webinars?
77
Okay, let's see if you got it right.
78
Here's the answer.
79
I haven't thought this through yet.
80
It's a little bit difficult
81
that one with with with all of those ths i haven't
82
thought this through yet okay next dialogue to practice we're going to do a formal example
83
and i'm going to read the full dialogue first this one
84
is a conversation with your boss one potential approach might be
85
to extend our customer service hours to improve client satisfaction that's
86
a good suggestion how do you propose we manage the additional hours.
87
We could rotate shifts among the current team and consider hiring part-time staff if needed.
88
Okay, now let's practice it together and you can start now.
89
That's a good suggestion.
90
How do you propose we manage the additional hours?
91
OK, and now let's focus on that key phrase.
92
We're going to practice it now.
93
Can you remember it?
94
And you can start now.
95
That's a good suggestion.
96
How do you propose we manage the additional hours?
97
Okay, let's see if you got it right.
98
One potential approach might be two.
99
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

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
