Hello everyone.
2
This is Andrew at Crown Academy of English.
3
Today's video is an English speaking video.
4
So, in this video, you will hear a business meeting between two native English speakers.
5
So the first person is Mrs. Jones, who is American.
6
And she works for a company called called Venus Systems.
7
And she is the CEO, the Chief Executive Officer.
8
And the second person is Mr Lewis, who is British.
9
He works for ABC Solutions.
10
And he is the Sales Director.
11
The meeting is at Venus Systems New York office.
12
And Mr Lewis Mr Lewis has a business proposal for Venus Systems.
13
After the meeting, I explain some useful vocabulary.
14
OK?
15
So that is the context.
16
Get ready.
17
Here is the meeting.
18
Good morning, Mr Lewis.
19
Pleased to meet you.
20
I'm Mrs Jones, CEO of Venus Systems.
21
Please take a seat.
22
Good morning, Mrs Jones.
23
I'm pleased to meet you too.
24
Thank you very much.
25
Did you find us okay?
26
Yes, thank you.
27
The map and directions you sent me were a big help.
28
That's good to know.
29
Did you have any trouble finding a parking space?
30
No, it was fine.
31
By the way, I really like your offices.
32
What an amazing view.
33
Yes, I never get tired of that view.
34
It's one of the advantages of working on the 50th floor.
35
Have you been to New York before?
36
No, this was my first visit.
37
It's incredible how big everything is.
38
I know what you mean.
39
I've lived here for five years and I still feel very small.
40
Well, thank you very much for agreeing to meet me today.
41
You're welcome.
42
I have read the email you sent us, so you would like us to sell your products in the USA.
43
Please tell me a bit more about your company.
44
ABC Solutions is a British software company founded in 2010.
45
Our head office is in London and we have a second sales office in Manchester, in the north of England.
46
So you have two offices.
47
How many employees do you have in total?
48
We currently have 143 employees across both offices and we expect that to grow to 160 before the end of the year.
49
It sounds like you're growing very quickly.
50
What positions are you recruiting for?
51
Those new positions are in sales, IT development and tech support.
52
Tell me briefly about your company's products.
53
We develop and sell accounting software to small businesses.
54
The product, which is called ABC Accounts, tracks expenses, sends invoices, manages income,
55
generates balance and income statements, and other reports.
56
And how can Venus Systems help?
57
We would like Venus Systems to sell our software in the USA.
58
We understand that you already sell networking products and services to small businesses.
59
We believe your clients would also be interested in our products.
60
I see you've done your research.
61
It's true that we have a lot of existing clients who could be interested in some accounting software.
62
I would like to schedule another meeting with you, Mr Lewis, to discuss this in more detail.
63
In fact, this will probably need several meetings.
64
How long are you in New York for?
65
I'm here for at least a week, although I could extend my stay if necessary.
66
How about tomorrow morning at 10am?
67
Yes, that's fine for me.
68
What would you like to discuss?
69
I'd particularly like to discuss prices, payment terms, technical support and training.
70
That's fine.
71
I agree that we'll probably need several meetings to discuss all that.
72
Let's have the first meeting tomorrow and then we can play it by ear after that.
73
Good idea.
74
Well, thank you very much for your time, Mrs Jones.
75
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
76
Well, thank you for coming all the way from London.
77
I'll see you tomorrow.
78
Goodbye.
79
Goodbye.
80
OK, now let's look at some vocabulary.
81
So Mr Lewis says, those new positions are in sales, IT development and tech support.
82
So IT, what does this mean?
83
Well, it is in fact an abbreviation and it means information technology.
84
IT is information technology and it simply means it's the field of computing.
85
So the subject of computing.
86
Example.
87
We can say I work in IT.
88
So this means I work in the computing department or I work in the field of IT.
89
My job is in computers.
90
Another example.
91
Mark is studying IT at university.
92
OK?
93
So IT development here.
94
This in fact means computer development, which means computer programming.
95
So they were recruiting some computer programmers.
96
Tech support.
97
Tech support.
98
This is an abbreviation for technical support.
99
And if you have a problem with a computer or some software,
100
then you call tech support for help.
101
So it's sometimes called a hotline or a helpline.
102
Example.
103
My computer won't start.
104
I'm going to call tech support.
105
Okay?
106
Another word was said by Mrs. Jones.
107
So she said, I would like to schedule another meeting with you, Mr. Lewis.
108
Schedule.
109
And in fact, this has two different types of pronunciation.
110
and this is the American pronunciation.
111
Schedule, schedule.
112
Okay?
113
But there is also a British English pronunciation.
114
Schedule, schedule.
115
Okay?
116
So, here we are using it as a verb. To schedule.
117
And it means to organize the date and time of an event or appointment.
118
Let's schedule the interview for next week.
119
And schedule can also be a noun.
120
And it means your diary or your availability.
121
The manager says, let's have a meeting.
122
When are you available?
123
And Mark replies, I will check my schedule and call you.
124
Okay, so this was the British English pronunciation.
125
I will check my schedule and call you.
126
And with the American pronunciation, Mark would say I will check my schedule and call you.
127
Okay?
128
And finally, play it by ear.
129
Let's have the first meeting next Tuesday And then we can play it by ear after that.
130
So, play it by ear is an idiom.
131
It's an expression.
132
So, it's not a literal meaning.
133
And the real meaning is to decide how to manage a situation as it develops.
134
So in other words, we are flexible.
135
We are not following a strict plan.
136
Let me give you a better example.
137
The context is Jane and Mark are going to the cinema.
138
Before the film, they have this conversation.
139
Mark asks, would you like to go for a meal after the film?
140
And Jane replies, I don't know.
141
Let's watch the film and then play it by ear.
142
So Jane is saying, let's not follow a strict plan.
143
Let's not decide now.
144
We will decide later.
145
Ok?
146
So play it by ear.
147
And the origin and literal meaning of play it by ear, well it comes from music.
148
So to play a musical composition without reading the music.
149
So without reading the music.
150
If someone plays the piano or the violin without reading music,
151
then they are playing it by ear.
152
Okay?
153
So that's the end of the video.
154
I hope it was useful.
155
Here are some other videos which you might be interested in.
156
Thank you.
