Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary
Engleton!
Gary: Hello, Elizabeth! Today I’ll be talking about some ways toconfirm information.
One very common way to confirm information is to make a
statement, then add a question such as “Is that right?”
We can see this kind of confirmation in today’s Business
Jennifer: And you can have them to us by this Friday,
is that right?
Marvin: Yes, that’s right. They may actually arrive on
Thursday.
Jennifer: Excellent!
Gary: Another way to confirm information is to make a
statement, but to raise your voice at the end, as if
you were asking a question.
For example, this is a statement: “You plan to build
a warehouse.”
This is a confirmation question: “And you plan to build
a warehouse?”
Listen how Jennifer uses this kind of confirmation question:
Marvin: Yes, that’s right. They may actually arrive on
Thursday.
Jennifer: Excellent! And you plan to build a warehouse in
San Jose by the end of the year?
Marvin: Yes, that’s correct. Construction began last week.
Jennifer: I’m glad to hear that.
Gary: One last way to confirm information is to use tag questions,
like “isn’t it?” “won’t they?” and so on.
Here’s an example from today’s Business Dialog, using
“won’t they?”
Marvin: They’ll also hold at least fifty percent more
information.
Jennifer: And they’ll cost more, won’t they?
Marvin: Well, of course, they will be somewhat more
expensive.
Gary: As we have said before, in business discussions it’s very
important to confirm information.
I hope today’s tips have been useful!
Eliz: Thanks, Gary!

ຢ້ຳຄວາມຄັກແນ່ກໍຄື ເວົ້າປະໂຫຽກບອກເລົ່າທຳມະດາ ແຕ່ຢູ່
ທາງທ້າຍຂອງມັນ ໃຫ້ຕື່ມຄຳຖາມສັ້ນໆໃສ່ ຊຶ່ງຄຳຖາມດັ່ງ
ກໍຄື Is that right? ແປວ່າ ແມ່ນບໍ່? ແລ້ວລາວກໍຍົກຕົວ
ຢ່າງໃຫ້ຟັງດັ່ງນີ້:
Jennifer: And you can have them to us by this Friday,
is that right?
Marvin: Yes, that’s right. They may actually arrive on
Thursday.
Jennifer: Excellent!
Saly: ຄຳເວົ້າທີ່ສຳຄັນ ໃນຕົວຢ່າງທີ່ເຮົາຫາກໍໄດ້ຟັງຜ່ານໄປ
ໃນການຖາມຢ້ຳຄືນກໍຄື is that right? ແມ່ນບໍ? ຊຶ່ງຈະ
ແປວ່າແທ້ບໍ ອີ່ຫຼີບໍ ກໍວ່າໄດ້. ແລ້ວຜູ້ຕອບຈຶ່ງບອກວ່າ
ແມ່ນແລ້ວ ຫຼືວ່າແທ້ ກໍວ່າໄດ້. ລອງຟັງອີກເບິ່ໃທ່ານ.
Jennifer: And you can have them to us by this Friday,
is that right?
Marvin: Yes, that’s right. They may actually arrive on
Thursday.
Jennifer: Excellent!

ຂ້ອຍພາຍໃນວັນສຸກແມ່ນບໍ? ແມ່ນແລ້ວ, ຄວາມຈິງ
ມັນອາດໄປເຖິງວັນພະຫັດກໍເປັນໄດ້. ແລ້ວຜູ້ຢາກຮູ້ຄວາມ
ແນ່ນອນກໍດີໃຈ ຈ່ຶງເວົ້າວ່າ ດີຫຼາຍ, Excellent!
Gary Another way to confirm information is to make a
statement, but to raise your voice at the end, as if
you were asking a question.
For example, this is a statement: “You plan to build
a warehouse.”
This is a confirmation question: “And you plan to build
a warehouse?”
Saly: ສຳລັບຄຳອະທິບາຍຕອນນີ້ Gary ເວົ້າວ່າ ວິທີນຶ່ງອີກ
ໃນການຖາມຢໍ້າເພື່ອຊອກຫາຄວາມຄັກແນ່ກໍຄືຍົກສຽງຂຶ້ນ
ໃສ່ທາງທ້າຍຂອງປະໂຫຽກບອກເລົ່າທຳມະດາ ເຊັ່ນຖ້າ
ປະໂຫຽກ ທຳມະດາວ່າ You plan to build a
warehouse. ແຕ່ເມື່ອຢາກໃຫ້ມັນເປັນປະໂຫຽກຄຳຖາມ
ຢໍ້າເຮົາກໍຈະວ່າ You plan to build a warehouse?
ມື້ນີ້ພໍມາຮອດໜີ້ ເວລາຂອງເຮົາກໍໝົດລົງພໍດີ. ພໍ້ກັນໃໝ່ໃນບົດຮຽນ
ໜ້າ.
