Business (Upper Intermediate)｜ビジネス会話（中上級）Business Communication 5: 職場での交流 5

PART A_1

First, we will check the points in this lesson. Please repeat after me.

まず講師とレッスンのポイントを確認します。講師に続いて読みましょう。

PART A_2

1.	When trying to delicately answer a question, instead of replying on Yes/No, use “I’m afraid not,” or “I’m afraid so.”
2.	Instead of focusing on the negative, find something positive about the situation at hand. For example, if a colleague is disappointed because there is no cafeteria in the building, point out the shops and restaurants near the office.
3.	It is more natural to say “I don’t think we should…” than “I think we shouldn’t…”

PART B_1

A:	Oh, sorry, Bob. I’m afraid we don’t have a cafeteria.
B:	I didn’t realize that.
A:	Sorry to disappoint you.
B:	I’m wondering where I should eat for lunch.
A:	There are some shops and restaurants nearby. See, I don’t think we should have a cafeteria. It gives us the chance to go out and get some fresh air.
