 Business English:
Expressing Opinions,
Agreeing and Disagreeing -
Activity
Activity 1:
Using the table below, work
with a partner expressing your opinion
about the issue your
coworker has raised. Be sure
to practice Agreeing AND
Disagreeing.
|
Coworker:
I don't know,
but it seems our
sales are down
because we
raised our
prices too high.
|
Coworker:
I'm really
upset! The
boss has asked
me to work the
weekend AGAIN!
That's just not
fair.
|
|
Coworker:
Business is
really up this
year. I
think we could
increase
business even
more if we
opened a new
store on the
other side of
town.
|
The Boss!:
Sales are way
down this month.
I think you guys
just aren't
working hard
enough.
|
Activity 2:
Now work with a partner
expressing your opinions -
agreeing AND disagreeing
about issues would be common where
you work.
If you are little
uncomfortable with
expressing strong opinions
with your coworkers - just
make us a funny issue about
your company. Example:
Move around
the classroom and talk to
several students. |
