EnglishRadar Business English Small Talk Phrases
EnglishRadar Business English Small Talk Phrases provides eight printable prompt cards for the conversations that happen before and after meetings. EnglishRadar, which trains business English, divides every card into the same five stages, starting the conversation, choosing a topic, listening and responding, bringing others in the group into it, and closing, and gives phrases for each stage.
100% Free (unlimited): All eight cards are open to any reader, with no account and no sign-up. Each one can be enlarged and printed, and the phrases for the five stages of the conversation are on the page, free to use with colleagues or in a class.
How It Helps Your Business English
Eight printable prompt cards cover work and location, transport to work, work in general, the weather, free time and sport, holidays, food and drink, and education and training. Each card is divided into the same five stages, with phrases for starting a conversation, choosing a topic, listening and responding, bringing others in the group into it, and closing.
You can enlarge and print the card for the topic you expect to come up and take a few of its phrases with you. Because every card follows the same five stages, learning one or two expressions per stage covers any of the eight topics. The advice is to vary what you use when you meet the same people often, so the cards work as a bank rather than a script.
