脚本

We're back.

It's time again for another language video of Business for Finance and Economics.

What was the last time you had to come to an agreement at work?

Were you satisfied with the outcome?

Were you able to find common ground?

We've learned from Beatrice the when, how, and why for concessions.

Now, let's get a few tips and phrases on how to handle and

control conversations when you reach those forks in the road of your disagreements.

What I found works best, is to memorize a few of these phrases, so you'll be ready

with the right words to say when those situations do come up in your workplace.

An easy one is, while it is true that, it doesn't necessarily mean that.

Here's an example sentence.

While it is true that Elizabeth wanted the particular machine,

it doesn't necessarily mean that it was the only one available.

These types of phrases also show you audience that you been listening to what

they're saying, but that you don't whole heartedly agree with them.

Another good phrase in this category is, on one hand,

I agree with x, but on the other hand, I still insist that y needs to happen.

If you still need to make your case and aren't ready to concede yet,

a few phrases that work are, can I say something?

Could you let me finish, please?

Have you thought about this?

I'd like to add something too, or, the issue is not this, but this.

Buffer phrases like, I suggest, or, I propose, also help soften

the situation instead of just jumping into your concerns or argument.

When you're able to show both sides, phrases like, let's look at the pros and

cons, or, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages, work well.

Let's take a break and practice using some of these phrases.

Here's a situation,

your spouse really wants to buy a new car that you know you can't afford.

You don't want it to turn into a huge argument, but

you don't want to concede either.

Write your first three sentences of your discussion using some of the phrases

already mentioned in this video.

Wow, you did great.

Okay, here are a few more phrases.

These are best used when you're able or ready to concede or

agree with the situation.

It does include negotiation however where both sides feel

like they're getting something out of the deal.

That's a possibility, let me check with.

Or, would you be willing to do that, if you could.

As long as this happens, we can agree to this, this, or this.

As long as Elizabeth is honest with her reports,

Catherine can agree to go along with purchasing the more expensive machine.

To her, it doesn't matter what brand or style the tool really is.

She's a numbers woman and just cares that the numbers are accurate.

So, what are the takeaways from this lesson?

First, there are many phrases to use for arguing your point or

conceding, or even negotiating,

where both sides feel like they're getting something out of the situation.

It's best to memorize a few of these phrases to be ready when disagreements

arise.

Please look for the reading in this lesson that gives many more phrases for

concession and counterarguments.

Thanks for watching this language video of English for Finance and Economics.
