NG words in business English: I'm too busy. i don't know. i can't~ (+ nice way to end a conversation).
Reading Notebook (Day 172) For this month's reading theme on English, here is another book for you today.
The author, William-san, taught at Yale University as Director of Business School Communication and was introduced as someone with a reputation for English communication.
The first edition was published 13 years ago in 2011, but I am sure the phrases are not that old and I will try to refer to it. (Finally, I'm going to check the English phrases I'm interested in on ChatGPT to see if they aren't out of date.)
So the book here consists of the following five chapters.
I see..! The three biggest NG words in my personal opinion in business English that I learnt in Chapter 2 were... I'm too busy. I don't know. I can't~.
These are the three most common words I tend to say when I'm stuck in the middle of an English conversation, so I'll remember examples of desirable responses so that I can say them at a moment's notice.
I've already committed myself to something. I'm unsure, but let me find out. It's difficult for me to~
I was also looking for a better way to say the closing greeting at the end of an online English lesson, so I thought the following sequence of steps introduced in this book could be memorised and used as is! I thought.
So, Chapter 2 was three NG words in business English and closing greetings for conversations.
Well, that's all for today! I hope you all have a great Sunday. See you soon! 😉✨
