Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!
Gary: Hello, Elizabeth! Today I’ll be talking about requests and promises.
In today’s Business Dialog, Betty asks Charles a favor.
One way to ask a favor is to say “I’d like to ask you a favor.”
She uses another expression, “I have a favor to ask of you.”
Let’s listen:
Betty: Charles, I have a favor to ask of you.
Charles: You know that I’ve always done my best to help you.
Gary: Betty tells Charles what she needs, and then she uses the expression, “I was wondering if you could help me.”
This is a polite way to make a request.
Betty: I need an introduction to Henry Hightower, the President of Global Tires, Inc.
I was wondering if you could help me.
Gary: Later on, she repeats her request, using this expression:
Betty: If you could help me meet him, I’d really appreciate it.
Charles: I’ll certainly do what I can.
Gary: This conversation is similar to the earlier conversation between Mr. Epstein and Mr. Blake.
Let’s listen:
Epstein: If you could keep me informed of any new developments, I’d really appreciate it.
Blake: I’ll certainly do that.
Gary: Making requests and promises are an important part of using English in business situations.
I hope today’s tips were helpful!
Thanks for joining us today.
Eliz: Thanks, Gary!
