We have seen that in the early stages of doing a job courtesy 禮貌 can help you establish good relations with your colleagues. Do you have the language you need to make requests and to thank people for helping you in a natural way?

In this programme you will hear a clip of someone on the first day of an internship who uses some authentic phrases to get people to help her. Our language expert Simon Cuddihy practises these phrases with our regular panel of Chinese students from the LSE.

在我們的網(wǎng)站上你可以看到商務(wù)課堂同學(xué)們的介紹。在團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作商務(wù)專(zhuān)家的頁(yè)面里你還可以看到此節(jié)目錄音片段的文字稿。請(qǐng)登錄 bbcukchina.com/learningenglish 然后點(diǎn)擊 BBC Business Class.

在收聽(tīng)之前

Think about the following questions:

• Have you ever been to an English-speaking country?
• What were the differences in that country from China in what counted as polite behaviour?

Now imagine that you are on holiday in London. You have lost your way and need to ask for directions. What polite language would you use to stop people and to ask for help, and to thank them for sending you the right way?
