1
Welcome back English learners.
2
My name is Marco and I am joined by...
3
Erika.
4
How are you Erika?
5
I'm doing great Marco and you?
6
Excellent.
7
I'm doing really well and I'm really excited about our lesson for today.
8
That's right.
9
We've got an intermediate lesson today and we're gonna study some real English.
10
English that you use every day, right?
11
That's right.
12
English that native speakers really use.
13
Exactly.
14
And today, as Erica mentioned, we have an intermediate lesson.
15
And not only is it intermediate, but it's a business lesson.
16
Yeah.
17
So today we're listening in to a sales meeting
18
and we're going to learn some great useful English to talk about sales strategies.
19
So we're going to learn English for sales strategies, for making suggestions and for responding to suggestions.
20
Great.
21
So why don't we take a look at our vocabulary preview for today?
22
vocabulary preview so our vocabulary preview is a part of our lesson
23
when we teach you some really important words
24
that will help you to understand the dialogue better okay great
25
so that is what vocabulary preview is we have two words for you today
26
and we can start off by looking at the first one
27
our first word today is drive sales drive sales drive sales to drive sales
28
and that means to increase sales right to sell more exactly
29
so to drive sales okay so now let's look at our second word
30
and it's an interesting one it's promotion promotion promotion promotion so erica what is a promotion exactly?
31
Okay, so here we're not really talking about getting a better job, right?
32
Okay, not like a job promotion.
33
No, we're talking about a marketing strategy.
34
Okay, so I can give you an example.
35
Suppose that I want to buy shampoo.
36
Uh-huh.
37
And if I go to the supermarket and I see buy one and get one free.
38
So that's a two for one.
39
That's a two for one promotion.
40
Yeah, okay.
41
That's a sales promotion
42
or perhaps the shampoo in the supermarket is less expensive than usual maybe yeah usually maybe it costs five dollars
43
but today it costs four dollars that's a sales promotion great
44
so that's a really good marketing strategy exactly
45
and we'll hear this word in our dialogue today great
46
so we are ready to listen to our dialogue it's gonna be pretty fast
47
so it might be a little bit difficult to understand
48
but don't worry if you don't understand everything
49
because later in this lesson we're going to explain all the important words and phrases
50
all right people we're holding this meeting today
51
because we've got to do something about our sales and we need to do it now.
52
I want concrete solutions.
53
How do you plan to drive sales?
54
Roger.
55
Well, in fact, we're the most expensive in the market, so maybe we need to lower our prices to match the competitors?
56
Lower our prices.
57
Not very creative.
58
It'll never fly with Swan.
59
What kind of thinking is that, jeez?
60
Anyone have a better plan?
61
Natalie.
62
Um, perhaps a promotion.
63
Maybe a two-for-one offer or something like that.
64
What?
65
It's the same thing.
66
Bad idea.
67
Really bad idea.
68
Damn it, people, come on.
69
Think.
70
The CEO will be here any minute.
71
Hello, Mr. Swan.
72
Oh, Mr. Swan.
73
Hello, Mr. Swan.
74
Do we have any ideas yet?
75
Yes, Mr. Swan.
76
We were kind of considering a two-for-one offer to get more competitive.
77
A two-for-one promotion.
78
Hmm.
79
I kind of like the sound of that.
80
It sounds like something we should consider.
81
Yeah, exactly.
82
That's just what I was thinking.
83
In fact, it's a brilliant idea.
84
I'm glad we thought of that.
85
Very creative.
86
OK, so an interesting manager, right?
87
I don't know about interesting.
88
Maybe I would think bad manager.
89
We're going to talk about him later on in the show.
90
But now let's take a look at our language takeaway.
91
Language takeaway.
92
Okay, so language takeaway is the part of our lesson where we teach you the most important words from the dialogue.
93
All these words that we are going to focus on can be found in today's dialogue.
94
Exactly.
95
So we have three words for you today.
96
Let's look at the first one.
97
Match the competitors.
98
Match the competitors.
99
Match the competitors.
100
Match the competitors.
101
Great.
102
So we have some examples for you so you can listen
103
and try and see if you can figure out what match the competitors really means.
104
Example one.
105
We guarantee that we can match the competitors' lowest price.
106
Example 2 It's impossible for us to match the competitors.
107
Our costs are just too high.
108
Example 3.
109
Do you think we can match our competitors' prices and still keep our quality high?
110
Ah, okay.
111
So I see that match the competitors means to be as good as or better than other companies in the same industry.
112
Exactly.
113
Match the competitors.
114
All right, so let's move to our second word today for language takeaways, and it is in the market.
115
In the market.
116
In the market.
117
In the market.
118
We heard this phrase in the dialogue, and it means in the industry.
119
Exactly.
120
I can say, for example, EnglishPod is the best language pod in the market.
121
So, of all the podcasts that teach English, EnglishPod is the best.
122
Of course, no doubt about it.
123
I totally agree.
124
Right.
125
Or I can give you another example.
126
iPods are the most popular MP3 players in the market.
127
So of all the MP3 players in the world, iPods are the most popular.
128
So let's move to our final word for today.
129
And it is...
130
It'll never fly.
131
It'll never fly.
132
It'll never fly.
133
It will never fly.
134
So this phrase sounds a little bit strange.
135
I know.
136
Fly?
137
Are we talking about an airplane here?
138
What's going on?
139
Exactly, but we're not.
140
So we're going to give you some examples and try and guess what It'll Never Fly really means.
141
Example one.
142
This marketing plan will never fly.
143
It's just too expensive.
144
Example two.
145
What?
146
You want to sell bikinis in Alaska?
147
That'll never fly.
148
Example 3.
149
Brad told me his idea for a film script, but the story will never fly.
150
It's not interesting enough.
151
So it means it won't work.
152
It won't work.
153
It's not a good idea.
154
They'll never agree.
155
Exactly.
156
Great.
157
So now we've seen a lot of useful phrases, and we are ready to listen to our dialogue a second time.
158
But this time it's going to be slow.
159
So you'll be able to understand a little bit better, and you'll be able to hear the words and phrases we were just talking about.
160
All right, people, we're holding this meeting today
161
because we've got to do something about our sales and we need to do it now.
162
I want concrete solutions.
163
How do you plan to drive sales, Roger?
164
Well, um, in fact, we're the most expensive in the market,
165
so maybe we need to lower our prices to match the competitors.
166
Lower our prices.
167
Not very creative.
168
It'll never fly with Swan.
169
What kind of thinking is that?
170
Jeez.
171
Anybody else have a better plan?
172
Natalie?
173
Um, perhaps, um, a promotion.
174
Maybe a two-for-one offer or something like that.
175
What?
176
That's the same thing.
177
Bad idea.
178
Really bad idea.
179
Damn it, people, come on.
180
Think!
181
The CEO will be here any minute.
182
Hello, Mr. Swan.
183
Oh, Mr. Swan.
184
Hello, Mr. Swan.
185
Do we have any ideas yet?
186
Yes, Mr. Swan.
187
We were kind of considering a two-for-one offer to get more competitive.
188
A two-for-one promotion?
189
Hmm.
190
I kind of like the sound of that.
191
It sounds like something we should consider.
192
Yeah, exactly.
193
That's just what I was thinking.
194
In fact, that's a brilliant idea.
195
I'm glad we thought of that very creative.
196
Okay, great.
197
I hope everyone understands a lot better now.
198
And I hope everyone could listen out for some of those key words.
199
Right.
200
So now it's time for us to take a look at Fluency Builder.
201
Fluency Builder.
202
So with Fluency Builder, we try to help you increase your fluency.
203
We take a word or phrase that you already know and show you how to say it a little bit more naturally.
204
A little bit more like a native English speaker.
205
Right.
206
And we have three of these words for you today.
207
Yeah.
208
Let's start with the first one.
209
Okay, so often students will say something like...
210
I'll be here soon. Or...
211
I will arrive soon.
212
Right.
213
And these sentences are correct.
214
They're totally fine, but I think there's a better way to say this.
215
Right, and we heard it in the dialogue, so let's listen to what the person in the dialogue said.
216
The CEO will be here any minute.
217
The CEO will be here any minute.
218
Okay, so be here any minute.
219
He'll be here any minute.
220
It just sounds a little bit more natural.
221
Yeah, I think I use this phrase quite often.
222
He'll be here any minute.
223
He'll be here soon.
224
Yeah.
225
Great.
226
Okay, so let's move on to our second phrase for Fluency Builder.
227
So this phrase will help you to learn how to say, I'm thinking about something in a better sounding way.
228
Right.
229
So you can say something like, we are thinking about a sales strategy.
230
Or that sounds like something we should think about.
231
Right.
232
And it's perfectly correct.
233
Yeah, there's no problem with this.
234
But in the dialogue, we heard something a little bit different.
235
So let's listen to it.
236
it sounds like something we should consider it sounds like something we should consider
237
so consider sounds like a pretty natural way of saying it right yeah
238
and you know what i think it sounds really kind of
239
smart yeah it sounds more formal even a little more professional yeah yeah it's a good word yep okay brilliant
240
so let's move on to our third word marco you already said our third word.
241
Oh, yeah, I actually did.
242
Brilliant.
243
That's a great word right there.
244
Yeah.
245
A lot of people might say, that's a great idea or great.
246
But in the dialogue, we heard another way of saying the same idea.
247
That's a brilliant idea.
248
That's a brilliant idea.
249
Okay, so this is great, but I would have to say that it's a little bit more British English.
250
Yeah, I'd agree with you there, but I also think it sort of gives more power to this idea that it's a good idea, brilliant idea.
251
That it's really really good idea yeah yeah I like
252
that word yeah okay so we're ready to listen to our dialogue again a third time but at its normal speed
253
all right people we're holding this meeting today
254
because we've got to do something about our sales and we need to do it now I want concrete solutions
255
How do you plan to drive sales?
256
Roger.
257
Well, um, in fact, we're the most expensive in the market, so maybe we need to lower our prices to match the competitors?
258
Lower our prices.
259
Not very creative.
260
It'll never fly with Swan.
261
What kind of thinking is that?
262
Geez.
263
Anyone have a better plan?
264
Natalie?
265
Um, perhaps, um, a promotion.
266
Maybe a two-for-one offer or something like that.
267
What?
268
It's the same thing.
269
Bad idea.
270
Really bad idea.
271
Damn it, people, come on.
272
Think.
273
The CEO will be here any minute.
274
Hello, Mr. Swan.
275
Oh, Mr. Swan.
276
Hello, Mr. Swan.
277
Do we have any ideas yet?
278
Yes, Mr. Swan.
279
We were kind of considering a two-for-one offer to get more competitive.
280
A two-for-one promotion.
281
Hmm.
282
I kind of like the sound of that.
283
It sounds like something we should consider.
284
Yeah, exactly.
285
That's just what I was thinking.
286
In fact, it's a brilliant idea.
287
I'm glad we thought of that.
288
Very creative.
289
All right, so listening to this dialogue makes you think about this boss.
290
I'm pretty sure everyone has had a manager or a supervisor that's similar to this guy.
291
Yeah, this boss, Clark, I would have to say he sounds like a terrible person to work for.
292
Yeah, that's true.
293
If you're a manager, you want to motivate your employees.
294
I think it's the most important thing a manager does is to encourage his
295
or her employees and to help support them to grow and to be better people in the job.
296
And this guy is totally not doing this.
297
And you can tell because they are a little bit scared of talking and he cuts them off with saying, oh, it's a bad idea.
298
Give me a better idea and stuff like that.
299
Yeah, I could never work for a guy like this.
300
You know, my first boss that I had when I first entered the workforce, I was in a very junior position and I was working for a large company and the general manager of the company,
301
he was amazing.
302
He was so encouraging.
303
He knew every single employee's name, first name, and he would make an effort to stop and say hello and ask them how things were going.
304
and you know what, this left me with such a good feeling about the company
305
that I really wanted to work hard for this company
306
and try my best and I think that I've never met such a great boss as this guy.
307
No, I think that's true.
308
Definitely, if you have a boss that's encouraging and motivating like that, it makes you work harder and makes you feel part of a really special team
309
and that's something we can all agree on and I'm sure all our managers out there do the same.
310
Well, you know what, I hope some of our listeners log on to our website
311
and maybe they can tell us some experiences with bad managers or good managers, or if they are managers, how they handle things.
312
Yeah, and hopefully they can use some of these great phrases that we talked about today.
313
Great.
314
So be sure, everyone, to visit our website at EnglishPod.com
315
and where you can find a lot of other information and really good resources to continue improving your English.
316
That's right.
317
So thanks for listening today, everyone.
318
And until next time, this is Goodbye.
319
Bye.

Mẹo Thực Hành
Khi bạn thực hành những câu tiếng Anh trong video, hãy áp dụng kỹ thuật shadowspeak để cải thiện phát âm tiếng Anh chuẩn của mình. Hãy chú ý đến tốc độ và ngữ điệu của người nói trong đoạn hội thoại. Nếu bạn cảm thấy khó khăn trong việc theo kịp, hãy lặp lại từng câu một cách chậm rãi trước khi thực hiện toàn bộ đoạn hội thoại. Kỹ thuật shadowing tiếng Anh sẽ giúp bạn cải thiện không chỉ khả năng nghe mà còn cả kỹ năng nói của bạn.
Ngoài ra, hãy ghi âm lại bản thân khi bạn thực hành để có thể nghe lại và điều chỉnh phát âm. Sử dụng phần mềm shadowing có thể là một công cụ hữu ích để theo dõi tiến bộ của bạn. Đừng nản lòng nếu bạn không hiểu mọi thứ ngay lập tức; kiên nhẫn và luyện tập đều đặn sẽ mang lại kết quả tốt nhất.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
