Customer Complaints

NB: This is not a word for word transcxxxxript

Feifei: Hello! I’m Feifei and this is 6 Minute English with me is Neil. How are you Neil?

Neil: Ah… I tell you what I’m going to write a very strong letter to the train company – it took 4 hours to get to work today.

Feifei: I know it took me ages yesterday as well.

Neil: Well it’s a good thing we’re looking at complaining in today’s programme! Whether you’re making a complaint or you’re dealing with an unhappy customer we’ll be looking at useful language and also some dos and don’ts but first I have a question for you Feifei.

Feifei: Go on then…

Neil: What do you think more people complain about? Is it transport or shopping?

Feifei: ba xxxxsed on what we’ve just talked about I’d go for transport.

Neil: Well according to the UK website https://www.360docs.net/doc/8616431218.html, almost 17% of customer complaints in the UK are about transport and travel compared with the shopping and retail sector which receives about 25% of complaints. So Feifei you were absolutely wrong about that one I’m afraid.

Feifei: That can’t be true!

Neil: Now if you want to complain about something in English it always helps to know the right thing to say. And if I’m not mistaken –

Neil/ FF: It’s Business Betty!

BB: Hello!

Feifei: Hello Business Betty can you give us some tips on complaining in English?

BB: Of course! Whether you’re complaining or dealing with a complaint it’s important to be polite calm and clear. Let’s look at the customer’s complaint first. Imagine you own a clothes shop and you’re unhappy about some T-shirts you’ve just bought. You’re talking to the supplier about it. First of all be clear that you have a complaint. Say “I’m afraid I’ve got a complaint.”

Feifei: I’m afraid I’ve got a complaint.

BB: Or you can say “Actually there’s a problem.”

Feifei: Actually there’s a problem.

BB: Well done Feifei. Next state exactly what the problem is. What’s the problem Feifei?

Feifei: I ordered 200 blue T-shirts but the ones you sent are black.

BB: Next say how you want the problem to be fixed.

Feifei: Can you get the right ones over to us by the end of the week?

BB: Good! Try saying that one another way:

Feifei: Look I really need the blue T-shirts as soon as possible.

BB: Well done Feifei. And remember to be polite!

Feifei: I will. Thanks for your help Betty.

BB: You’re welcome.

Feifei: Neil I feel a role-play coming on.

Neil: So do I. Of course today it’s my turn to be the boss.

Feifei: But I’m afraid there isn’t a boss in this role-play…

Neil: Awwwww….typical!

Feifei: But you can be the customer service representative if you like. I’m a client who isn’t happy with your company’s service and you have to deal with my complaint. Okay?

Neil: OK I think I’ll be good at that. Shall we start?

Feifei: Let’s go!

Role-play

Feifei: Ring ring ring ring…

Neil: Hello?

Feifei: Good morning my name is Feifei from Feifei’s Fashions and I’m afraid I’ve got a complaint. Neil: Oh yeah? You are not the only one.

Feifei: I ordered 200 blue T-shirts but the ones you sent are black.

Neil: Oh yeah? It happens all the time that’s life eh…

Feifei: Look I really need the blue T-shirts as soon as possible.

Neil: Hmm yeah OK I’ll tell someone alright? Bye!

Feifei: Err just a minute – Hello? Hello!

Neil: Ooh that was good. How was it for you?

Feifei: Hmmm… well I think we need to ask Business Betty for some feedback.

Neil: OK. – Business Betty how did we do??

BB: Well. Feifei – you were great and you did everything I told you. But Neil: we need to work on your customer service skills. When a customer has a complaint take it seriously! Find out what the problem is.

Neil: I see what exactly is the problem?

BB: And if there is a problem apologise.

Neil: I’m so sorry about that.

BB: Investigate the problem.

Neil: Let me check your order.

BB: And say what you’re doing to solve the problem.

Neil: I’ll get the correct order sent to you by the end of today.

BB: And be polite!

Neil: Thanks for calling.

BB: So Neil do you think that will help?

Neil: I think that should do nicely. Thanks Betty.

BB: You’re welcome. And if there’s nothing else I’ll be leaving now. Bye! Neil / FF: Bye!

Neil: Shall we have another go at the role-play?

Feifei: I think we or should I say you need to.

Role-play

Feifei: Ring ring ring ring…

Neil: Hello?

Feifei: Good morning I’m calling from Feifei’s Fashions and I’m afraid I’ve got a complaint.

Neil: I see what exactly is the problem?

Feifei: I ordered 200 blue T-shirts but the ones you sent are black.

Neil: I’m so sorry about that. Let me check your order.

Feifei: Look I need the blue T-shirts as soon as possible.

Neil: Yes of course I’ll get the correct order sent to you by the end of today.

Feifei: Thanks for your help.

Neil: Thank you for calling.

Neil: And that’s the end of today’s role-play!

Feifei: That was better: I think I even believe you might send me the right T-shirts this time.

Neil: Of course I will. Anyway it wasn’t my fault somebody else sent the wrong T-shirts I never ever get anything wrong you know that…

Feifei: That’s it for today Neil! But we’ll be back soon and we hope you don’t feel like complaining about that! Join us again for more 6 Minute English! Bye!

Neil: Stop your moaning. Bye!

银川海派英语:古罗马神话中的花神Flora(上)

银川海派英语:古罗马神话中的花神Flora(上) No. 43. 古罗马神话中的花神:Flora(上) Flora 是古罗马神话中的花神 (goddess of flowers),预示着鲜花的盛开和春天的到来。她后来嫁给了古罗马神话中“西风之神”:Favonius. 西风之神 Favonius 代表着轻柔和美好的微风(breeze)。于是 Favonius 的衍生出了favorable,意思是“有利的,有好处的”,以及favorite,表示“特别受喜爱的”。 例如:The terms of the agreement are favorable to both sides. 协议条款对双方都有利。 It is one of my favorite movies. 这是我特别喜爱的电影之一。 注意哦,西风之神Favonius 还有一个好听的名字:Zephyr,而zephyr作为名词,同样表示“和风,微风”:a soft gentle wind. 我们把花神 Flora 的名字的首字母小写,就会得到flora,表示“植物群”,也就是一个地方植被的统称。与 flora相对的是fauna,表示“动物群”,也就是一个地方所有动物的统称。 花神 Flora 的名字衍生出了两个同音异形字 (homophone):flower 以及 flour. flower表示“花朵”,而 flour表示小麦“花朵”长出麦穗之后研磨的“面粉”。注意哦,flower 与 flour 的发音方式是一样的。 再后来,花神 Flora 的名字衍生出了一个重要的词根:flor-,表示“花朵”,托福和SAT 考试中floral,florid,florist,floret,inflorescence 都是有它衍生的。 1. floral 表示“用花装饰的”,例如:a floral dress 花裙子;a floral vase,花瓶。floral 的同义词是“flowered”,它同样表示“用花装饰的”。 2. florid 表示“过分花哨的,过分修饰的”,常常用来修饰文章或者语言的风格。 例如:the florid language. 过分华丽的辞藻。 有时候,florid 还能够表述一个人的脸色“绯红的,面色红润的”,就像鲜花盛开一样。 例如:He was a stout florid man. 他是一个身材结实,脸色红润的人。 如果我们在florid这个单词的后面加上字母“a”,首字母大写之后,Florida,这就是佛罗里达,因为这里是“鲜花盛开的地方”。

银川海派雅思听力需谨慎的11个陷阱

雅思听力需谨慎的11个陷阱 雅思考生们常会碰到这样的情况:经过一段时间的密集练习,已经基本能够找到听力中的关键信息点,但答案有时却还是会错。 有人会问:我明明听到了这个词,这个信息点,为什么写出来还是错呢?其实在听力输入和答案输出的过程中,还需要增加一个辨识的环节。如果缺少这一环节,就容易掉入出题者的陷阱中。下面就来看看雅思听力考试中常出现的集中陷阱~ 1. 时间先后 考题中经常通过现在和过去的状况的比较来设置陷阱,考生要特别注意used to, in the past, many years ago, at present, now,in the future 等一系列提示时间先后的词。 例如在租房场景中房东会说这里从前有5个人住,后来走了两个,所以现在就只有三个人住了,而题目问的是现在房子里住的人数,答案就自然应该是3 而不是5了。 又例如有健身俱乐部在介绍设施时说现在只有健身房,将来还会开设游泳馆。题目中问此俱乐部有什么设施,答案就只能是健身房。 2. 数值比较 考题中经常会出现一连串数据连报的现象,让很多考生颇为头疼,特别是当数据较多或对数据的解释较难时。因引起注意的词有:minimum, maximum, least, most, up to等。 例如在旅游场景中会说一个旅游团的人数通常在30人左右,但是在淡季时也会有20人的小团,而旺季最高会达到40人,考题中问最大的团几人,就应填40。 3.信息拆分 这一个陷阱表现得比较明显的就是数字。很多烤鸭们现在都知道重点靠后原则,所以答案中往往会写最后听到的一个数字。绝大部分情况下这么做是没错的。但是还是有小部分的情况,需要烤鸭们很小心。在考试中有时会把一个完整信息拆成两半,在答题时就要注意综合两方面的信息,其中重点词不是非常明显。 举个例子来说,录音中说一个学校里男生有500人,女生有480人,但在题干中,问的却是这个学校总共有多少人。这时候就需要烤鸭们把两个数字加起来。 又如在面试场景中,面试者介绍经历时说在纽约住了5年,又在西雅图住了2年。那班级的总人数和在美国居住的时间就应该是前后两个数据的相加。 4.信息选择 这类陷阱在两人对话中是经常发生的,特点是由一人列举大量信息让对方选择,对方在评价后作出决定。注意:…should do, decide on,don’t want to 等接出决定的用法及一些表评价的形容词。这时要分清谁是做决定者,且做决定的人的语气有一定提示作用。 例如在讨论旅游携带物品时,一方说要带防晒霜,水壶,毛衣,另一给建议的人说防晒霜是必须的,因为会去海滩晒太阳,但水壶太占地方,而且如果换了是他的话,不会带毛衣会带雨衣。则最后要带的物件是防晒霜和雨衣。 5.主观和客观 很多烤鸭对这个陷阱不是非常敏感,常常在不知不觉中就把答案写错了。在做雅思听力题的时候一定要看清题干,看要求回答的到底是主观还是客观的情况。考题中会出现主观愿望和客观事实的冲突,这时要注意usually, common, want to, plan to等词。 举例来说,一个教授和一个学生正在就论文延期的情况讨论,教授说论文延期的理由只能是生病或批准的事假,学生说是因为正在做另外一个重要的论文;而在题干中问的是教授说的理由。那么这时候烤鸭们就一定要注意了。 又比如面试官问面试者会呆多久,面试者回答他一般要在学校学习三年,但是他打算在两年内完成所有课程。则该学生决定要呆的时间就是2年。

银川海派英语【外贸英语】运输(3)

银川海派英语【外贸英语】运输(3) (三) We think it necessary to move the articles by way of combined transportation. 我们认为联运货物十分必要。 Sometimes, the way of combined transportation has the complicated formalities. 有时联运的手续十分繁琐。 The two sides agreed to employ “combined transportation” to ship the goods. 双方决定联运货物。 Since there is no direct vessel, we have to arrange multimodal combined transport by rail and sea. 由于没有直达船只,我们只好安排海陆联运。 I don't like this kind of combined transportation. 我并不喜欢这种联运方式。 It's easy to cause a delay in shipment or even lose the goods completely when we arrange such combined transport. 这种联运方式货物容易丢失,也常误期。 It's simpler and cheaper for both of us to arrange multimodal combined transport. 安排联运对我们双方都既简单又经济。 Insurance covers both sea and overland transportation. 保险应包括水陆两路的运输。 If the goods are to be transshipped from one means of transportation to another during the course of the entire voyage, it's called “combined transport”。 如果货物在运输途中交换交通工具,这便是“联运”。 Words and Phrases Train-Air-Truck (TAT;TA) “陆-空-陆”联运;或“陆空联运” combined transportation 联运

They'll be in weekly probably on a Monday and after that we are planning to focus on TV and Radio.

Question16 I shall be coming round to each of you to discuss how you think things have gone so far. I'm going to need as much detail as possible BECause I want the documentation to be a realistic record of events. Question17 It's very sophisticate model. You can programme it to send stuff at any time and then if there’s a problem a message appears on this little screen here. It's even suggests what you can do about it to put it right! Section Two. Questions 18—22 Question18 Well in a sense I've got no choice in the matter. No one’s act ually told me to get the qualification. It's just that form my point of view my own sense of confidence if you like I feel that if I’m going to be responsible for instructing other people in the company then I should do something to improve my own level of knowledge. On the other hand I don't know what I feel about the course itself. One thing is for sure I am not looking forward to the journey there and back every day. It’s going to be very tiring. Mind you I know I shouldn't complain. It’s only for a mont h after all. Question19 It's certainly a challenge isn’t it? Of course I am nervous in some ways. Who wouldn't be? Then again there’s a lot to look forward to as well. For starters it's going to be something like twenty people doing it. So I’m sure that's going to include some interesting types you know people you enjoy spending time with on the course itself and also afterwards. Could be some useful contacts too. Well OK. I need the course. If I don’t it I won't be able to cope with all the latest

商务英语考试听力的常见短语汇总.doc

商务英语考试听力的常见短语汇总 BEC即剑桥商务英语证书考试,是剑桥大学考试委员会(UCLES)设立的。很多人误认为BEC考试针对是那些学与商务有关的专业人员的,其实不然。因为无论你学的专业是什么,都要在某个特定的商务环境中运用,BEC考查的正是这种普遍存在的商务环境中应具备的通识与能力。剑桥大学考试委员会设立BEC考试的目的是在全球范围内建立一个测试商界雇员英语水平的统一标准,使BEC证书被跨国公司和非英语国家的大公司用作商务英语测试标准,以评估在真实商务环境下雇员的英语水平,使人力资源部门能准确评估雇员商务英语的运用技能。 因此,与我国的四、六级考试相比较,BEC考试更侧重对英语实际运用能力的考查。换句话说,BEC中的考查内容都是可以马上拿到实际工作中去的,不会出现所谓高分低能现象。 1. fill a prescription 按处方抓药 Would you please fill this prescription for me? 2. fill in for 代替; 同义:fill one s place(position.shoes); take the place of; take over Dave. can you fill in for me tonight at therestaurant? I d like to go out of town. 3.food for thought 令人思考的东西;同义:thought-provoking There is a lot food for thought in what he had tosay. 4.for nothing 免费 To pay to see that movie would be foolish. when you can see it on TV for nothing. 5.from top to bottom 从上到下 A: Maybe you lost your wallet in this room.

剑桥商务英语(BEC)听力和口语之备考技巧

剑桥商务英语(BEC)听力和口语之备考技巧 BEC考试是剑桥商务英语证书考试,是由教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作举办的考试。该系列考试是一项语言水平考试,根据公务或商务工作的实际需要,对考生在一般工作环境下和商务活动中使用英语的能力从听、说、读、写4个方面进行全面考查,对成绩及格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一的成绩证书。本文主要给大家商务英语听力、口语的学习及备考方法,希望对你们有用。 一、听力LISTENING Part 1(Questions 1-12) 第一部分大多情况下是电话对话。答题纸上分为3个部分,以表格、发票、日程安排、留言条等形式出现,每部分有4个空格,要求考生听录音填空(听两遍)。该部分的电话对话内容一般是:客户抱怨、道歉、询价、订座、订货、安排、计划等。 考生拿到试卷后应抓紧时间将题目看一遍,根据文字信息,揣测填充题中可能要填什么词。一般来说,这部分要填的内容是:公司名称、人名、号码(电话号码、定单号码等)、日期等,这一题主要是考考生的辨别词汇的能力。在听第一遍时,考生要尽可能的记下有关的名称、地点、号码等内容,听第二遍时检查所填内容,填上漏掉的内容。 Part 2(Questions 13-22) 该部分分为两个部分,一般为两段独白。考生必须抓紧时间弄懂供选择的单词的意思。这些单词一般是有关职业、身份的,如:“hotel manager, salesman, technician, travel agent, engineer, cook, tourist guide, money changer”等。另外,这部分单词也可以表示功能、行为等,如:“refusing, agreeing, making excuses, boring work, an uncomfortable office, low pay, to order a meal, to book a room ”等。所以,考生在听录音前,先快速阅读供选择的单词的意思,然后,在听录音时要特别抓住key words,辩明独白所要表白的主要意思,再作出选择。需要当心的是:有些单词听上去似乎是答案,但别忙着确定,一定要等听完该段独白的全部录音才能最后定答案。 Part 3(Questions 23-30) 该部分通常是两个人或更多人之间的对话,如:开会讨论、面试、一般业务会谈等;另外也可能不是对话,而是独白,如:业务报告、产品演示会的讲话,工作汇报等。考生做这一题时首先仍然是先快速阅读选择题,从而了解录音中对话或独白的背景、大意,以便听录音时有一个大致的方向。 考生听录音时要认真将主要内容抓住,决不能因为某一个问题没听懂就停下来,听录音的过程中可以针对每一个问题做些快速记录,记下录音中人的身份、讨论的问题,以及不同的观点;如果是独白,对独白的主题,涉及到的人或物等则要尽可能弄清楚。 二、口语SPEAKING BEC口语考试总时间约为12-16分钟(一组两个考生)。 Part 1 这部分是主考官与考生的对话,考官问的问题一般有:姓名、职业、所学专业,对所从事的工作或所学专业是否喜欢,为什么喜欢或不喜欢等等。另外,考官会就某一方面问考生,如有关就业就可能问:“What would your ideal job be? Do you think all companies ought

BEC商务英语的等级和其他考试之间并没有严格对等的换算,一般而言,在校大学生如果是报考BEC初级的话略显简单,在此我们建议大家选择BEC中、高级。大体上,如果通过了大学英语四级考试,而且取得了较高的分数,比如450分甚至是500分以上,是完全可以挑战BEC中级的;如果已经过了大学英语六级,而且考到了500分以上则完全可以挑战BEC 的高级。下面是一些关于BEC专业术语装运的句型和重点短语,让我们来看看吧! 第二部分 Can our order of 100 cars be shipped as soon as possible? 我们订的100辆小汽车能尽快装运吗? An early reply from you will help us to speed up shipment. 如果你们尽快答复,我们便可以加速装船。 The order No. 105 is so urgently required that we have to ask you to speed up shipment. 第105号订单所订货物我们要急用,请你们加快装船速度。 Could you manage to hasten the delivery? 你们能否加快装运? Could you possibly effect shipment more promptly? 你们能不能提前一点交货呢? A timely delivery means a lot to us. 及时交货对我们来说关系可大了。 I'm sorry to say that we can't advance the time of delivery. 非常抱歉我们不能把交货期提前。 There's still another possibility to ensure a prompt delivery of the goods. 还有另一种可能可以确保即期交货。 If shipment were effected from Hong Kong, we could receive the goods much earlier. 如果在香港交货,我们可以更早些收到货物。 Could you do something to advance your shipment?

剑桥商务英语测试BEC听力备考

剑桥商务英语测试BEC听力备考 BEC的听力,是很多考生头痛的考项,在ESOL中心每年的统计报告中,中国考区的听力部分得分最低,究其原因,大致可分为以下几种: 1. BEC的听力以英音居多,占了整个音频的70%,这对当今美剧流行的校园学生族和学习BEC的白领们,是一个听觉冲击; 2. 听力的第二部分和第三部分,虽然给考生朗读两遍,但是由于涉及了明显的工作场景和商务管理技能,给同学在理解方面造成巨大障碍; 3. 听力中的同义解释很多,但是大部分都是同学们没有接触过的,解释的方式本身,就很商务,绕圈子,需要很强的理解能力和瞬间分析能力。 我们就同学觉得比较难的中级听力第二部分,给同学一些备考建议。真题选自人民邮电出版社 BEC真题第三辑Test One Listening Part II 首先,这道题目考生是可以有20秒钟以上的时间读题的,音频里本身给15秒,再加上朗读steps 的时间,超过20秒钟,考生要变被动为主动,快速跳读右边方框里的

选项,划出核心名词和动词。 然后在听原文的时候,适时地抓住听力原文中的目标词汇,这段听力原文如下: No matter what kind of business situation I’m in, it’s always important to know exactly who the individual is I’m communicating with. The worst mistake you can make is to fail to find out what drives them -- money, status or whatever. Once you’ve worked that out, you’ll be able to ensure you communicate what’s in it for them personally. This should essentially govern the way you respond to people, enabling you to stay in control of the situation and achieve the desired outcome. 能够对答案产生影响的结构:it is always important to......这样的结构后面一定跟随积极的信息,对后面信息的跟踪理解:什么很重要,确切了解与我沟通的每一个人,很重要;worst mistake表面看来是个负面信息,但是后面又跟了fail to ....what drives them, fail to 我们知道这是个暗含否定意义的动词,与前面的worst 结合在一起,产生肯定概念,可见这个管理者认为了解人的需求,发现员工工作的驱动力,在管理中是很重要的。因为这样可以使你掌控全局,实现既定目标。

银川海派英语【BEC写作】商务英语新闻翻 译示范4 英国服务业增长缓解经济衰退担忧促英镑汇率反弹 Source: Daily Telegraph(英国《每日电讯报》) The pound rose for the first time in more than a week after better than expected (好于预期的)data from Britain’s dominant(最重要的,主流的,处于市场领导地位的) services sector (服 务行业,sector常在股票中作“。。。板块”解)eased fears that the economy may slip back into recession (再次进入经济衰退)this quarter. 英镑汇率一周多以来首次上升,这是因为在英国(经济)占据重要地位的服务业有高于预期的(增长)数据,从而缓解了这一季度中有关经 济再次进入衰退期的担忧。 Sterling(即英镑,英国货币的别称) which had been hammered over (hammer的原意是指 铁锤,用作不及物动词产生词组hammer over sth,原指用力捶打、打击某事物,此处指英镑 汇率遭受重创)recent days by political uncertainty(政局不稳) rose back up above the psychologically (心理上)important $1.50 mark(重要标志,财经数据的“大关”) after closing at (于。。。价格收盘/报收)$1.4927 in the previous session(较早前). 近期,英镑汇率由于 政局不稳而遭受重创,其对美元的汇率较早前曾以1英镑兑1.4927美元报收,现已回升到1:1.50的重要支撑位之上。 翻译讲解: 1.本句翻译难度较高。同学们首先要知道,在翻译一种货币的汇率价格时,一定要表达 清楚“针对何种货币的汇率”,这一点学习者容易出现错误。比如本句中,由于出现了“$”符号,可见是在讲英镑兑美元的汇率。一般分析英镑汇率时,经常涉及的是兑美元或兑欧元的汇率。 2. 本句中还有一处值得注意。就是psychologically mark.这一部分,要理解其语言传递出的 意思并不是很难,就是指“具有重要心理影响力的基准水平”。不过,如果译文这样进行机械 化的文字对应式翻译,显得生硬、繁琐。其实在外汇领域,这个概念有个习惯性的说法,称 之为“支撑位”。
