ESL Gold – Useful Expressions for Meetings and Discussions
ESL Gold – Useful Expressions for Meetings and Discussions is a phrase bank for meetings, arranged by the move a speaker is making rather than by topic. Short headings group the expressions: getting started, introducing the items on the agenda, presenting options, stalling the discussion, asking for clarification, giving feedback, asking for opinions, checking for consensus, summarizing and closing. A video of the same phrases spoken aloud sits at the top of the page.
100% Free (unlimited): The page is open to anyone, with no account and no payment: the complete set of expressions and the video that goes with them. The rest of ESL Gold, including its speaking, listening and vocabulary sections, is free on the same terms.
How It Helps Your Business English
The page carries a short video of the phrases spoken aloud, then the expressions in lists under headings for each moment of a meeting: getting started, naming the first item, presenting options, holding the discussion back, asking for clarification, giving feedback, asking for opinions, checking agreement, summarizing and closing. Two related pages are linked at the end.
You look up the move you need to make, bringing the group back to the agenda or asking someone to explain, and take one of the four or five ways of saying it listed there. Keeping the page open during a call gives you a line to reach for when the moment comes, and the video lets you hear the stress before you use one aloud.
