How It Helps Your Business English
The video gathers twenty phrases for making a request in a business setting, together with the strategies behind them, so that a request is received as respectful rather than abrupt. It runs for about nine and a half minutes. Its page also points to the channel's longer collections of business phrases and to its listening practice for meetings and presentations.
You can keep the video open and repeat each phrase after the speaker, then choose three or four that fit the people you work with and use those until they come without thinking. Because the phrases are short, the video also serves as a review before a call where you have to ask for something, and the listening practice linked from the page carries it further.
