PART A_2

1.	When you agree with someone’s idea, instead of keeping it to yourself, it’s important to show your support of the idea by expressing agreement.
2.	To express different degrees of agreement, these expressions are useful: “I basically agree,” “I’m inclined to agree,” and “I agree completely.”

PART B_1

We will read aloud the dialogue below. Once we are done, we will switch roles and read aloud the dialogue again. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.

PART B_2

A:	I basically agree with you, Sue.
B:	I’m really glad to hear that. Do you have any concerns?
A:	Yes, actually. While I’m inclined to agree that the division needs to be sold, I think it’s a premature move. I think the division’s value needs to be evaluated first.
B:	Yes, but if we know the division is not profitable, shouldn’t we just cut our losses and sell immediately?
A:	No. We can’t rush this. First, we calculate the value, then sell. We can’t sell too low after all.
B:	Yes…well, I basically agree.
A:	So we’re on the same page then; once we know the value we can sell. Then we’ll be able to move forward.
B:	Sounds like we can soon move forward with this.
