UPBEAT MUSIC
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.
“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!
