西方公司的商务会议在很多方面都和中国公司大不一样。其中比较突出的一点是在西方公司会议中每一位到会者都需要发言，表达出自己的意见和建议。在这样的会议中我们怎样能熟练的用英语来清晰有力的表达出自己的意见呢？
我们的节目特邀英语语言专家 Simon Cuddihy 先生在今天的节目中会和主持人董征一起，给六位伦敦政经学院的中国同学教授在西方商务会议中需要掌握的英语语言词汇与技巧。而六位同学学到的这些技能也会被在节目最后出现的一位神秘节目嘉宾进行考核。
你可以从我们的按键 节目组人员介绍网页上了解 Simon 、董征、以及参加节目录制的六位中国留学生的背景信息。
在收听之前
Think about the last time you disagreed with someone in Chinese. It might have been a friend at university, or a colleague at work, or a family member. Do you remember what you said?
See if you can repeat your conversation, but this time in English. What language should you use to express your opinion? Remember to be polite!
今日语言点
在今天的节目中， Simon 和董征主要教授了以下几个方面：
How to raise a concern
A polite way to do this is to ask questions. This shows that you are unsure about what people have suggested and is a polite way of asking people to justify their opinion.
How to disagree politely
Matt Geezer is a very disagreeable man
It's usually not necessary to say, "I disagree with you". It's more polite to simply state your own view. However, using signal words will highlight the fact that you have your own take on matters. Simon and Jean discuss these signal words further in the programme.
How to make your point with force
There are words which add emphasis to what we say to make sure people pay attention. There are also phrases which you can use to soften the impact of something that might be difficult to hear. Listen to the programme to find out more.
