Betty: Charles, I have a favor to ask of you.

Saly: ສຳລັບຄຳກິຣິຍາ wonder, w o n d e r, wonder ຄຳນີ້ແປວ່າສົງໄສ ຫຼື ບໍ່ແນ່ໃຈ.
ຕໍ່ມາ Betty ໄດ້ເວົ້າຢ້ຳ ຄຳຂໍຮ້ອງລາວໂດຍກ່າວວ່າ: “ຖ້າເຈົ້າຊ່ອຍຂ້ອຍ ພາຂ້ອຍໄປພົບລາວຂ້ອຍກໍຈະຂໍຂອບໃຈເຈົ້າເປັນຢ່າງຍິ່ງ” ຊຶ່ງ Charles ກໍຕອບວ່າ “ແນ່ນອນ ຂ້ອຍຈະເຮັດເທົ່າທີ່ຂ້ອຍຈະສາມາດເຮັດໄດ້.”
Betty: If you could help me meet him, I’d really appreciate it.
Charles: I’ll certainly do what I can.
Saly: ຄຳກິຣິຍາ appreciate, a p p r e c i a t e, appreciate, ເປັນຄຳສຸພາບທີ່ເວົ້າອອກມາເພື່ອສະແດງວ່າເຮົາພໍໃຈຫຼືການຮູ້ບຸນຄຸນເຊັ່ນໃນປະໂຫຽກ: “ຖ້າເຈົ້າຊ່ອຍຂ້ອຍໄດ້ ແນະນຳໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ຈັກກັບລາວ ຂ້ອຍຈະຂອບໃຈເຈົ້າເປັນຢ່າງຍິ່ງ.”
If you could help me meet him, I’d really appreciate it.
Saly: ນອກຈາກນີ້ແລ້ວ ເພ່ືອຢ້ຳຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈຂອງເຮົາໃຫ້ຄັກລົງໄປອີກ Gary ຍັງໄດ້ຍົກເອົາ
ຕົວຢ່າງທີ່ມີຂຶ້ນໃນເມື່ອກ່ອນມາໃຫ້ພວກເຮົາຟັງນຳ ຈາກບົດສົນທະນາລະຫວ່າງ

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!
