Hi everyone and welcome back to our B1, B2 English podcast.
2
Alex, imagine we're planning a trip together.
3
You want to stay in an expensive hotel in the city center, but I think we should choose a cheaper one outside the center.
4
How would you convince me?
5
Well, I'd probably say I understand why you want to stay in the center, but hear me out.
6
If we choose the cheaper hotel, we could save a lot of money.
7
And we could use that money for restaurants, activities, or even stay an extra night.
8
Okay, that's actually a good argument.
9
You didn't just say, no, my idea is better.
10
You gave me a reason and showed me the benefit.
11
Exactly.
12
And that's the difference.
13
When you're trying to persuade someone, you usually need more than an opinion.
14
You need to explain why your idea makes sense.
15
And sometimes the other person still won't agree.
16
That's when you might need to negotiate.
17
For example, I could say, okay, I understand your point, but I still want to be close to the city center.
18
So maybe we need another option.
19
Right.
20
I might respond, what if we find somewhere halfway between the city center and the cheaper area?
21
Now we're negotiating.
22
I'm not completely giving up my idea
23
and neither are you we're trying to find something
24
that works for both of us and we do this all the time at work
25
while traveling when buying something when making plans with friends even
26
when deciding where to eat
27
and there are some really useful expressions for these situations for
28
persuasion the main reason is think about it this way the advantage is and And when negotiating,
29
what if we, would you be willing to, how about we meet halfway?
30
So in this episode, we're going to practice how to persuade someone without sounding aggressive,
31
how to offer alternatives, and how to negotiate until you reach an agreement.
32
And if you want structured practice to improve your speaking, listening, vocabulary, and everyday communication,
33
you'll find all the details about our English courses in the description.
34
By the end of the episode, the goal isn't to help you win every conversation.
35
It's to help you explain your position clearly, understand the other person, and find a solution that both sides can accept.
36
Let's start with persuasion.
37
Imagine I tell you, I don't think I need to exercise.
38
I'm too busy.
39
How would you try to change my mind?
40
I wouldn't just say, you're wrong, you need to exercise.
41
I'd probably start with, I understand you're busy, but think about it this way.
42
You don't need to spend two hours at the gym.
43
Even 30 minutes a few times a week could make a difference.
44
So you're first showing that you understand my situation,
45
then you're giving me a reason to reconsider exactly another useful
46
expression is the main reason I'd recommend it is for example the main reason I'd recommend exercising is
47
that it can give you more energy during the day
48
or you can focus on the benefit the advantage is the advantage is
49
that you don't even need to leave your house you could exercise at home.
50
And sometimes people need a real example.
51
Imagine I'm trying to convince my friend to start learning English.
52
I could say, think about the opportunities it could give you.
53
You might be able to apply for better jobs, travel more confidently, or communicate with more people.
54
That's stronger than simply saying English is important.
55
Exactly.
56
And one useful technique is to ask a question instead of making a statement.
57
For example, wouldn't it be better to start now rather than wait another year?
58
Or, what do you have to lose by trying it for a month?
59
Questions can make the other person actually think about your idea.
60
So, when you're trying to persuade someone, don't just repeat your opinion more loudly.
61
A much better structure is acknowledge their position, give your reason, explain the benefit,
62
and when possible, give an example.
63
Because good persuasion isn't, I'm right and you're wrong.
64
It's, I understand your point.
65
But here's why I think this option is worth considering.
66
Now, let's move from persuasion to negotiation.
67
Imagine I'm selling my old laptop for $600 and Alex wants to buy it.
68
Alex, what's your offer?
69
Well, I like the laptop, but $600 is a little more than I want it to spend.
70
Would you be willing to take $500?
71
500 is too low for me.
72
The laptop is still in great condition, and I've only had it for two years.
73
But I could do 550.
74
Okay, we're getting closer.
75
What if we meet halfway at 525?
76
I can also pick it up today, so you won't have to wait for another buyer.
77
That's a better offer.
78
How about 540, and I'll include the laptop bag as well?
79
Hmm.
80
If you can do 5 .30, we have a deal.
81
All right.
82
5 .30 works for me.
83
Deal.
84
So notice what happened there.
85
Neither of us immediately accepted the first offer, but we also didn't simply say no. Exactly.
86
We kept the conversation moving by making counter offers.
87
And there are several useful expressions you can use.
88
Would you be willing to...
89
I could do.. what if we, how about we meet halfway?
90
And if you can do X, we have a deal.
91
And negotiation isn't always about money.
92
Imagine your manager says, I need this report by Wednesday, but you need more time.
93
Instead of saying, I can't do it, you could say, would you be willing to give me until Thursday?
94
Or I can finish the first part by Wednesday and the rest by Thursday, now you're offering an alternative.
95
Exactly.
96
You can negotiate prices, deadlines, responsibilities, plans, and even small everyday decisions.
97
The important thing is to avoid closing the conversation too quickly.
98
If the first option doesn't work, make another offer and try to find something both sides can accept.
99
Sometimes negotiation gets more difficult because both people want different things.
100
Imagine Alex and I are working on a project together.
101
I want to finish everything today, but Alex wants to continue tomorrow.
102
I might say, I really think we should finish tonight.
103
Then we won't have to worry about it tomorrow.
104
And I might respond, I see your point, but I don't think we'll do our best work if we're tired.
105
How about we finish the most important parts tonight and do the rest tomorrow morning?
106
That's a compromise.
107
Neither person gets exactly what they originally wanted, but both sides get something.
108
Another useful phrase is, could we meet halfway?
109
For example, you want three more days and I want it finished tomorrow, could we meet halfway and agree on two days?
110
You can also say, I'm willing to if you can.
111
For example, I'm willing to stay an extra hour today if you can come in early tomorrow.
112
Now you're offering something in exchange for something else.
113
And if you're close to an agreement, you might say, I think I can work with that, or that sounds fair.
114
But if the offer still doesn't work, I'm afraid I can't agree to that.
115
Then explain why and offer another option.
116
Exactly.
117
A good negotiation doesn't have to end with one person winning and the other losing.
118
Sometimes the best result is simply finding a compromise and saying, that sounds fair.
119
Let's do that.
120
Let's finish with a real situation.
121
Imagine Alex and I are planning a holiday.
122
I want to travel for seven days, but Alex thinks it's too expensive.
123
Alex, convince me.
124
Okay.
125
I understand why you want a full week, but think about it this way.
126
If we stay for five days instead of seven, we could choose a better hotel and still spend less money.
127
That's true.
128
But five days feels a little short.
129
What if we stay for six days and choose a slightly cheaper hotel?
130
I could agree to six days, but only if we book the flights early and find a good price.
131
That sounds fair.
132
And maybe we could save some money by using public transport instead of taxis.
133
Exactly.
134
In that case, six days works for me.
135
So what happened in that conversation?
136
First, I acknowledged Julia's idea.
137
Then I explained my concern and suggested an alternative.
138
Julia made a counteroffer and eventually we found a compromise.
139
And that's your challenge for today.
140
Choose one situation.
141
You want your friend to start exercising?
142
You want a later deadline at work?
143
Or you and a friend disagree about where to travel?
144
Try to speak for one minute using expressions like, think about it this way, the advantage is, would you be willing to?
145
What if we, I'm willing to, if you can and that sounds fair.
146
Don't try to memorize everything.
147
Choose three or four expressions and practice using them in different situations.
148
And if you want structured practice to improve your speaking, listening, vocabulary, and everyday communication,
149
you'll find all the details about our English courses in the description.
150
Remember, persuasion and negotiation aren't about forcing someone to agree with you.
151
You explain your position, listen to the other person, offer alternatives, and look for common ground.
152
If you can do that naturally in English, you're not just learning more vocabulary, you're learning how to handle a real conversation.

真实场景:旅行住宿与说服谈判
视频中模拟了旅行住宿的讨论场景:一方想住市中心昂贵酒店,另一方提议住郊外便宜酒店。通过这段对话,我们能学到如何用英语温和地说服他人,以及在意见不合时协商解决方案。这种场景在工作、交友、日常决策中十分常见,掌握相关表达能让你更高效地沟通。
实用表达与搭配
- 说服类:“hear me out”(听我说完)、“the main reason is”(主要原因是)、“think about it this way”(换个角度想)、“the advantage is”(好处是)。这些表达能让你的观点更有说服力,而非强硬灌输。
- 谈判类:“what if we...”(如果我们...呢)、“would you be willing to...”(你愿意...吗)、“meet halfway”(各让一步)。协商时使用这些短语,能体现你尊重对方,共同寻找双赢方案。
影子跟读挑战:现在就练习
看视频学英语时,影子跟读是提升口语的高效方法。你可以这样做:选择视频中30秒的对话片段(比如说服对方住便宜酒店的部分),播放一句后暂停,立即跟读,模仿发音、语调和节奏。重复5次后,尝试不看字幕跟读。这个方法被称为“英语影子跟读”(shadowspeaks/shadow speech),能帮助你快速掌握自然的表达习惯。完成后,用学到的“the main reason is”和“what if we”造句,比如“the main reason I suggest this restaurant is the fresh ingredients”或“what if we go to the park first then the museum”。
通过这样的练习,你不仅能记住实用表达,还能在真实场景中灵活运用,提升英语沟通能力。
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
