[전화영어] Business course pro #1

오늘 5월 첫 수업을 다시 시작한다.

 

오늘은 가볍게 free talking 만 진행했지만, 

교재에 있는 표현을 정리하고 넘어가는 게 좋을 것 같아서 간단히 정리해 봤다.

• in the works:  진행 중인
  • We have a new smart medical device in the works.
  • In this year, the migration works to use this software in our environment are in the works.

하고싶었던 표현 보강하기

 

- 나는 외국인들이랑 회의를 매 주 진행하고 있는데, 일에 대한 대화는 가능하지만, 일반적인 대화가 조금 어색해 그래서 영어 공부를 하고 있어.

 

> The reason why I'm studying English is.. I've had meetings with foreign co-workers in the United States every Monday for 2 years. In that meetings, I can have a talk to discuss technical things, what I do.. but sometimes it's awkward to have small talk about common things. That's why.
