NEXT MBA Business Networking Conversations: Business English
NEXT MBA Business Networking Conversations: Business English lists twenty eight-minute speaking and writing exercises on talking with new contacts at work. NEXT MBA, which publishes free practice material for professionals, gives each exercise a situation to play, a language pattern, vocabulary for that moment, a working sheet and questions, together with versions that make the task easier or harder.
100% Free (unlimited): The twenty exercises are open to any reader, with no account and no sign-up. Each one opens in full: the situation, the language pattern, the vocabulary list, the eight-minute practice, the easier and harder versions, the working sheet and the questions at the end, free to use alone or with a partner.
How It Helps Your Business English
Twenty exercises on business networking conversations are listed, each of about eight minutes: opening the conversation, asking open questions, checking understanding, making a polite request, disagreeing politely, explaining a delay, declining a request, handling an unexpected question, summarizing decisions, agreeing next steps and writing a follow-up message among them.
You choose the moment you need and open its exercise, where a short situation puts you in a role, a language pattern shows the shape of what to say, and a vocabulary list gives you the words for it. You can record both parts yourself or work with a partner for the eight minutes. Each exercise carries a working sheet you adapt to your own job, and settings that make the task easier or harder.
