In this lesson, you'll learn "how to make gentle requests and suggestions" through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
Hi, Wanda! Do you have a minute?
Hi, Isabel! I always have time for you. What’s on your mind?
As you are aware, I’m a program director now, and my office has gotten a bit disorganized. I could really use a personal assistant, and I wondered if you had anyone to recommend.
Hmm, I’m not sure off the top of my head, but I’ll ask around.
Thanks! Also, I wanted to know if you received the invitation for our annual shareholder’s meeting. We’d love to have you!
Yes, I got it! I’ll be there. Anything else?
One more thing. I wanted to know if you were free for lunch next week.
I’ll have my secretary call you and arrange it.
Wonderful! See you next week!
