Jerry: 我对Mona的突然出现感到惊讶，并询问她是否在寻找Isabel。我提到生意进展顺利，并暗示我希望她能回来帮忙。我试图确认Mona是否想念我的帮助，并对客户对网球课程的兴趣表示惊讶，主动询问何时开始。我很高兴Mona能回来。 我一开始对Mona的来访感到意外，因为我以为她来找别人。我利用反问句来确认生意是否如外界所说的那样进展顺利，并试探性地询问Mona是否想念我的帮助，以此来引出她回归的可能性。当Mona提到网球课程时，我立刻抓住了机会，表达了强烈的兴趣，并主动询问何时可以开始，显示出我重返工作岗位的积极性。 Mona: 我来找Jerry有事相谈。我确认生意进展顺利，并表示业务发展需要人手。我没有直接表达想念Jerry的帮助，而是提到客户对网球课感兴趣。我邀请Jerry进来起草合同，欢迎他回来。 我直接表明来意，是为了和Jerry谈事情，没有拐弯抹角。我肯定了生意的发展，并以此为契机，提出需要人手帮忙，暗示可以给Jerry提供工作机会。我没有正面回应Jerry关于想念他帮助的问题，而是巧妙地转移到客户对网球课的兴趣上，为他重返工作岗位创造了机会。最后，我主动提出起草合同，正式欢迎他回来。 Daphne: 我将教你如何通过对话确认信息。 我作为旁白，主要目的是介绍课程内容，即如何通过对话来确认信息。我的角色是引导学习者掌握确认信息的技巧，因此我的发言主要集中在教学目标上。

Do you know how to confirm information in English? Hi, my name is Daphne and this is 3-Step English by EnglishClass101.com. In this lesson, you'll learn how to confirm information through a quick conversation. Let's look at the dialogue. Mona, what a surprise! Are you looking for Isabel? She just left, but I'll tell her you stopped by. Actually, I came to talk to you, Jerry. Oh, really?

The business has been going well, hasn't it? At least that's what people have been saying. Yes, it's going very well. So well, in fact, that I could use another pair of hands. You've missed having my help, haven't you? I'm not sure I would say that exactly, but some of my clients have shown an interest in tennis lessons. Tennis lessons? When do I start? Why don't you come inside and we can draw up a contract?

Glad to have you back. Glad to be back. Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time. Mona, what a surprise! Are you looking for Isabel? She just left, but I'll tell her you stopped by. Actually, I came to talk to you, Jerry. Oh, really? The business has been going well, hasn't it? At least that's what people have been saying.

Yes, it's going very well. So well, in fact, that I could use another pair of hands. You've missed having my help, haven't you? I'm not sure I would say that exactly, but some of my clients have shown an interest in tennis lessons. Tennis lessons? When do I start? Why don't you come inside and we can draw up a contract? Glad to have you back.

Glad to be back.
