Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!
Gary: Hello, Elizabeth! Today I’ll be talking about how to propose a toast.
In today’s Business Dialog, the managers of a small company are addressing the employees at their annual dinner.
You can hear the sound of knives tapping against glasses.
This is one way to welcome a speaker and to ask for quiet.
SFX: loud conversations and dinner noises
Carol: Excuse me!
SFX: sound of knives clinking on glasses - gradual lowering of voices
Carol: I would like to offer a toast.
Gary: Carol uses the expression, “I’d like to offer a toast.”
You can also say “I’d like to propose a toast,” as Carol does later.
Carol: Our sales are up fourteen percent from last year and our costs have fallen almost ten percent.
I don’t know how you all have done it, but you’ve done a great job!
So I’d like to propose a toast. offer a toast propose a toast
“Here’s to all of you! Thank you for your hard work.”
Gary: In this case, the toast is a kind of thank you.
She thanks the employees for their hard work.
Another common toast is for good health and prosperity, as in this part of the Business Dialog.
Notice that Harry begins his toast with the phrase “Let’s all drink....”
Harry: Let’s all drink “To good health and prosperity for everyone in the coming year!”
Gary: You can also toast to the success of a business relationship, as in the toast that Mr. Blake makes at this dinner with Mr. Chapman and Mr. Gomez:
Blake: I’d like to propose a toast!
To a long and prosperous relationship between Federal Motors and International Robotics.
Gary: Offering a toast is a good way to help build both a personal and business relationship.
I hope today’s tips were helpful!
Eliz: Thank you, Gary!
