The 'elevator pitch' - 45 - English at Work helps you pitch your ideas
source: BBC Learning English 2017年5月10日
Anna's about to pitch her plastic vegetable idea to Paul, but will she have the chance to speak to him? The only opportunity may be very short – Anna will need to get her elevator pitch perfect if she's going to be successful!

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator
Hello and welcome to English at Work. The company's computer system has been fixed and Anna seems to have found a new friend in Dave, the IT support man. But her main concern now is pitching her new idea for a plastic aubergine, to Paul the boss.
Tom
So Anna, that guy didn't really know what he was doing did he?
Anna
You mean Dave?
Tom
Dave – was that his name? He had a really bad smell.
Anna
No he didn't. He's done a great job. Look everything is working so, if you don't mind, I think we should get this pitch for Paul finished.
Denise
You'd better hurry up. Paul's taking the afternoon off to go to his biscuit lovers’ convention.
Tom
Oh right. Well, we might as well leave it until tomorrow then Anna.
Anna
No Tom. There’s no time like the present – I heard someone say that once – we've got to get our idea to Paul as soon as possible. Then we might have time for a drink, or shall I ask Dave?!
Tom
No, no, you're right. Look, I'll design some pictures of the aubergine and you get the results of our survey together, yeah?
Anna
Great.
Narrator
Well done Anna. Remember to make your pitch clear and exciting. Really sell it with words like 'exceptional!', 'fantastic!', 'quality', 'profit', 'efficiency', and 'value for money'.
Anna
OK, I've got all that. I'm just adding some of the facts and figures from our customer survey.
Tom
Anna, I've got the designs, they're coming off the printer now.
Paul
Denise, I’m off now. Can’t wait any longer for my garibaldis!
Anna
Wait Paul! I need to tell you about our new product idea.
Paul
Well, I, I, have to go. Can you tell me about it in the lift?
Anna
In the lift? Do I have to?
Paul
Sorry Anna, but that's the only time I’ve got.
Narrator
Right Anna. It's time for your 'elevator pitch' – an elevator is an American word for lift. You’ll need to pitch your idea quickly and concisely. You need to tell Paul what the product is and who your market is. Then talk about how you hope it will make money for the company. Talk about the evidence you have that it will be successful and convince him it will really benefit the business.
Anna
Phew, there's a lot to say in a short time but here goes.
Paul
Anna, could you just press the 0 button there, thanks.
Anna
Now Paul. Tom and I have come up with a new exciting product – the plastic aubergine.
Paul
Oh yes?
Anna
Yes. This fantastic product will be a great addition to table decorations in the café and restaurant market.
Paul
Will it now? Do you really think it will be a profitable addition to our plastic portfolio?
Anna
Oh yes. Using the same plastics as our fruits, we can easily re-mould our bananas and change the colour. We can increase efficiency but maintain quality.
Paul
And profits?
Anna
By my calculations, we can increase profits by 20%. That's based on selling the same quantity that we now sell of Imperial Lemons.
Paul
Hmm, 20%, really? But do you know who’s going to buy this product?
Anna
I do. We've conducted a survey and already found 10 new companies who would buy this and 27 existing customers who have shown an interest in it…
Anna
…and I'm confident this new product will be a huge success.
Paul
Very impressive. You've certainly done your homework. Look, let me chew it over – probably on a custard cream – and I'll get back to you.
Anna
Thanks. Paul, Paul… you've forgotten your bag.
Paul
Oh yes, I'll need that. Thanks.
Narrator
Great work Anna! You convinced me but have you convinced Paul?
So Anna's done her first 'elevator pitch' and kept to the facts. Here's a reminder of some of the things she said:
We've come up with an exciting new product.
This fantastic product will be a great addition to table decorations in the café and restaurant market.
We can increase efficiency but maintain quality.
By my calculations, we can increase profits by 20%.
I'm confident this new product will be a huge success.
Tom
So, how did it go Anna?
Anna
I'm not sure. I told Paul as much as I could and I think he listened.
Tom
Good, good. So, what are you doing now?
Anna
I've got to meet someone.
Tom
Anyone I know?
Anna
No, not really.
Tom
It's Dave from IT isn't it? What does she see in him?
Narrator
Do you want me to answer that Tom?! Anna may have fallen for the charms of Dave but let's hope she keeps her mind on her plastic aubergines. Join us again next time on English at Work.

0:35 My pleasure.

1:14 There are so many places to put the paper; I never know where it goes…
1:18 How many pages do you need to copy?

2:03 It’s easy. Take this street and go straight ahead two blocks, then make a right on Main St. You’ll see the hotel.
2:13 Thank you.
2:14 No problem.
2:17 Just one more thing…do you have the time?

2:42 Oh, the adjectives?
2:45 Do you remember what an adjective is, Kenny?
2:48 Sure! It’s a…it’s a…it’s like a description, isn’t it?
2:55 Well, in a way, yes. It gives quality to a noun. For example, when you say ‘intelligent man’, what’s the adjective?
3:07 The adjective is intelligent.
3:11 Very good, Kenny. Now find them in your text.
3:20 Excuse me. I’m looking for the wine section.

Do you feel the money governments spend to protect the environment would be better used elsewhere?
_________ the world over typically _________________________ ___________. There are reasons to support and refute this practice. Using examples from _____ ______, I will discuss both positions before declaring a personal stance.
Firstly, ___________________________ is beneficial for many reasons. For example, in _________, ___________________________, such as __________________. This _________ is important because it not only __________________________, but it also ___________________________. Because such _________ are common among most countries, it is clear why __________________.
However, despite these benefits, _________________ has undeniable merit. In _________, for example, ____________________________________. Similar _________ can be seen among _______________, such as ___________________________. Thus, it is clear that for _________, _________ may be better ___________________________.
Following this examination, I support _________, but I strongly feel this __________________________. This is __________________, and I hope to see it ______ ________________.
Governments the world over typically allocate a portion of their spending to preserving the environment of their respective countries. There are reasons to support and refute this practice. Using examples from my country, I will discuss both positions before declaring a personal stance.
Firstly, government-funded protection of a country’s environment is beneficial for many reasons. For example, in my country, the Canadian government has spent a tremendous amount of money to ensure large swathes of land, such as Algonquin Park in Ontario, are inaccessible to resource-hungry companies and city sprawl. This policy is important because it not only ensures the natural beauty and wildlife of Canada are maintained for future generations, but it also preserves Canadian identity, which is tied closely to the vastness and untainted nature of the land. Because such values are common among most countries, it is clear why many people the world over support government-funded protection of the environment.
However, despite these benefits, reallocating such funding to other needs has undeniable merit. In Canada, for example, preserving the integrity of the environment seems somewhat hypocritical when so many First Nations peoples, who have been historically driven off the land, are in need of resources that allow them to preserve and pass on their languages and cultures to their descendants. Similar needs can be seen among the native populations of other nations formed out of the colonial period, such as the United States and Australia. Thus, it is clear that for select countries, government funding may be better channeled to the preservation of not only the land but also its indigenous peoples.
Following this examination, I support the government-funded preservation of a country’s environment, but I strongly feel this funding should also be directed to promoting the health of other aboriginal facets, namely the cultures and languages of a nation’s indigenous peoples. This is a much more holistic approach to environmental preservation, and I hope to see it adopted by countries around the world.
Dealing with IT support - 44 - English at Work deals with your computer ...
source: BBC Learning English 2017年5月3日
Disaster strikes the computers of Tip Top Trading! Something has happened and everyone's work has disappeared. Anna calls in the IT support, but can she explain to them what the problem is and can they actually help?
For more English at Work and other great content:: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/...
TRANSCRIPT
Anna
It's frozen. Nothing will work…
Tom
Yeah and all my football scores… I mean company accounts… have disappeared.
Paul
Can anyone get their computers to work? Or is just me?
Narrator
Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading where, as you can hear, there appears to be a bit of computer trouble. Everyone's work seems to have disappeared. This is serious so who can sort it out?
Denise
Leave it to me I'll sort it out. You just need to switch it off… and on again … like that.
Anna
Hold on, let's check… Denise! All my documents have gone now!
Denise
Oh, sorry, I was just trying to help. You'll just have to call I.T. Support, look, here’s their number.
Anna
'It' Support?
Narrator
No Anna not 'it' but I.T. Support – information technology – sometimes called Computer Support. Most big companies have them. These are the people who sort out your computer problems and get everything working again. But be careful, they might ask some tricky questions.
Anna
OK, thanks. But what should I say to them?
Narrator
Tell them: "I am having problems with my computer", then say "the screen keeps freezing" and "I seem to have lost some documents". Tell them "I have turned the computer off and on but that hasn't fixed it". Finally, ask if they can help – please!
Anna
Well, I'll give it a try. Here goes.
IT Man
I.T., Dave speaking, how can I help?
Anna
Oh hello Dave – I'm having some computer problems – in fact everyone is here.
IT Man
Right. What system are you using?
Anna
What system?
IT Man
Yeah, what are you using? PC, laptop, Windows XP?
Denise
Tell him it's Windows 7.
Anna
Erm… it's Windows 7 on a PC.
IT Man
Good, good, this should be easy. Were you using many applications when it crashed?
Anna
Applications?
IT Man
Did you have lots of things open – documents, spreadsheets, videos, other software?
Anna
Well, I suppose I did.
IT Man
Right, well… Anna isn't it?
Anna
Yes.
IT Man
Right, well Anna, try pressing control, alt, delete, at the same time – after that try opening Windows again.
Anna
OK. Tom, could you open the windows please.
Tom
What eh? The windows?!
Anna
Yes. Dave says so.
IT Man
No, no, no. Open Windows 7 on your computer.
Anna
Oh, silly me! No, the screen just freezes. I'm a bit worried because I think I've lost some documents.
IT Man
Hmmm. In that case the only thing to do is reboot it.
Anna
Reboot it?You mean kick it?!
Denise
No! Reboot means turn it on and off again.
Anna
Oh I see. No Dave, I have already tried turning it off and on again but that hasn't fixed it. What am I going to do?
IT Man
Don't panic! I'll come and have a look. You're on the 2nd floor right?
Narrator
Oh dear. This is a bit worrying but I'm sure Dave, the IT man, will get things sorted. Remember if you have important documents, it's best to back them up on a memory stick just in case you have a problem like this. Let's remind ourselves of the phrases we might use if we have to call computer support:
I am having problems with my computer
The screen keeps freezing
I seem to have lost some documents
I have turned the computer off and on but that hasn't fixed it
Can you help, please?
IT Man
Oh hi. Is Anna here?
Denise
She's over there.
Tom
So Anna, I'm just going to unplug the screen and put the wire back in here…
Anna
OK Tom but are you OK down there? Mind your head.
IT Man
Excuse me, are you Anna? I've come to fix your… computer.
Anna
Oh, hello… you must be… Dave. I really like your hair.
Tom
Ow!
IT Man
Thanks. You look rather lovely. I'd better take a look at your computer.
Tom
Don't worry, it’s OK, I think I've fixed it!
Narrator
Looks like Tom has a rival. Is Anna going to fall for the charms of Dave, the IT man, or is he just going to upgrade her software? This could get very interesting – but there's still work to be done – so join us again soon for English at Work. Bye.

0:16 Hi there, Jannet. Let’s take our dogs to the dog park today.
0:20 Alright! That’ll be fun! Laika would love that!
0:23 My Bunny is sometimes afraid of the big dogs over there.
0:27 Yeah, some dogs are really aggressive. You can never be sure about them.
0:31 Last time I took him to the park, he was bitten by a pit bull.
0:35 Gosh...You should always stay close to your dog in the park.
0:38 I was but I also had to keep an eye on Joe!
0:42 Yeah! Always remember that the dog park’s not a child’s playground!
0:52 Gina, do you buy dog food?
0:55 Nope. My labrador is already used to eating beef.
0:58 Really?! Wow! My yellow lab eats waste! Can you believe it?
1:02 Oh! That’s a common problem, try some meat tenderizer on your dog’s food. It gives a metallic taste to dog waste. It’ll help.
1:11 That’s an idea! I’ll buy it today at the grocery store.
1:15 I have one problem with my Bo. He won’t stop barking when he hears even the slightest sound.
1:22 Okay, let me give you some advice. Keep a leash on him. If he barks, pull the leash and firmly order him to be quiet.
1:30 Alright! I doubt it will work, but I’ll try.
1:39 Hmmm...your K-9 is looking so moody today!
1:43 Rocky’s been behaving this way since we were put on the detection squad. I don’t know what’s the matter with him.
1:48 Why don’t you get a Beagle like I have? Shepherds are better used as attack dogs.
1:54 He has become more like a close friend to me. He probably won’t like a new master.
1:58 Do you ever get the airport duty?
2:01 Not usually. I’m sure if Rocky gets an airport shift, he’ll muddle up everything!
2:07 Yeah, it seems passengers don’t mind a Beagle as much. In fact some of them enjoy it when Ted sniffs their stuff.
2:15 That’s great. My Rocky is so aggressive!
2:23 Have you heard of Hachiko?
2:26 The Akita? Yeah sure, he’s the dream-dog of every dog owner! He waited 9 years for his master!
2:33 I doubt anybody can be loyal to somebody to such an extent.There are less than 100 pure Japanese Akitas now.
2:41 What about Chips, the Second World War hero?
2:45 Nope, I was thinking of the space dog Laika actually. What about Chips?
2:51 He was a German Shepherd K-9 during the war. He attacked an enemy machine gun nest on his own, and made them surrender,
2:58 but sacrificed his own life.
3:01 Some dogs prove themselves to be better than we are! Anyway, how’s your special dog, Rocky?
3:08 He’s a real friend! He even takes care of my keys and my wallet!
3:15 Let’s take our dogs to the dog park today.
3:21 Yeah, some dogs are really aggressive.
3:28 You should always stay close to your dog in the park.
3:35 Gina, do you buy dog food?
3:42 My labrador is already used to eating beef.
3:51 He won’t stop barking when he hears even the slightest sound.
4:04 Why don’t you get a Beagle like I have?
4:12 He probably won’t like a new master.
4:19 I doubt anybody can be loyal to somebody to such an extent.

http://www.youtube.com/letstalkpodcast
A Song a day –
Listen to one English song every day. The best way to learn English through songs is to watch the songs on YouTube with subtitles. Whenever you come across a difficult word or don’t understand the pronunciation. You could figure that out by looking at the subtitles.
Call a customer service –
You could call up a customer service hotline of your service providers such as a mobile phone company or an internet service provider. On the IVR select the language as English. When you speak to the customer service representative, it gives you a good practice on listening and speaking English. You could call up many other service providers to enquire for a product or a service. It’s a great opportunity to practice English as these representatives are fluent in their English communication skills.
Host a dinner-
This is a very good idea to learn English over dinner, food and learning, isn’t it? Invite some of your friends or colleagues who are at the same level of English as yours, you could also invite someone who speaks good English, set the communication theme as English. This is a great opportunity to interact with people in English and you are learning English actually used in the real world.
Watch movies with subtitles-
As we looked earlier how you could learn English through songs, similarly you could learn English through movies. Choose your genre of movies such as fiction, action, true events etc. and set the subtitles on.
Learn two words a day –
I am sure you have heard this many times, but I would like to add something here. Implement the newly learned words in your everyday conversation. You could also visit our YouTube channel Daily Video Vocabulary – http://www.youtube.com/letstalkpodcast to learn new words daily and how to use them in your daily conversation.
A post a day on Facebook-
Post something every day on your Facebook account. You are sure you get some reactions, comments on that post, reply to these comments in English. Something very important, don’t use short forms such as TAT(Thanks a tonne) avoid such abbreviations, remember you are learning English.
Reading hoardings and signboards-
As you travel you come across a lot of hoardings and sign boards displayed on the streets, shops for publicity. This is a great opportunity to learn new words and enhances your vocabulary.

WORD STRESS & INTONATION - Improve your pronunciation
source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2017年4月14日
http://www.learnex.in/
In this English speaking lesson you will learn to perfect your English pronunciation with correct “word stress”. We are already so stressed with the traffic, our jobs and assignments and now even words want to stress us. Stay with Michelle in this spoken English lesson ease yourself of the confusing word stress.
Let’s count the number of syllables for some words:
(In some cases it’s enough to count vowels in others we need to count the number of vowel sounds.)
Number of syllables:
• Japanese-3
• Dance-1
• Lonely -2
• Education-4
• Joyful-2
Many languages have regular stress patterns or fixed stress.
For example: In Finnish or Icelandic almost all almost all words are stressed at the first syllable. In Swahili one before the last syllable is almost always stressed.
Unfortunately for learners of English it’s not true. There are lots of rules but many exceptions also. So we won’t learn too many rules but just a few because that will help us understand word stress.
Word Stress Rules
*Rule 1: For most two syllable adjective and noun the stress is on the first syllable.
• SCA-ry Lion
• PAIN-ted Berries
*Rule 2: For most two syllable verbs the stress is on the second syllable.
• Pre-PARE
• Ob-SERVE
*Rule 3: For words ending in “tion” the stress is always on the penultimate syllable i.e. the syllable before “tion”
• Edu-ca-TION
• Sta-TION
• De-di-ca-TION
• Ir-ri-ta-TION
Rule 4: Let’s look at some words that can change meaning, form and pronunciation depending on the word stress:
NOUNS VERBS
REcord reCORD
REbel reBEL
CONduct conDUCT
CONtent content
Record
Noun: to set down or register information
Verb: to record something- audio/video
Rebel
Noun: a person who refuses to obey
Verb: to reject/ resist
Conduct
Noun: personal behaviour
Verb: to lead or guide
Content:
Noun: usually something that is contained
Verb: to make content (satisfied)
You can use word stress rules for learning word stress however for other words you need to practice word stress. Remember, it’s very difficult to understand for the listener if the word is stressed wrongly. Therefore word stress is important.
Here’s a tip for you to master word stress: Make sure you check the stress for every new word you learn in the dictionary.

2:03 This is what your doctor prescribed, but I can give you a generic one if you want. It's the same formulation, but different brand.
2:10 Yes, I think that's a good idea. Should I check with my doctor?
2:15 It's the same formula and it's FDA approved medicine, but you can check, sure.
2:20 Alright! Give me 2 days worth of the dose. I will check with him and then buy the rest.
2:25 That's a good idea.
2:30 Do you have something for stomach pain?
2:38 Can you just give me some medicine for now? The pain is not so severe.
2:48 Do you have something for headache?
2:54 I can only give you an over-the-counter pain killer.
3:02 Please give me a complete dosage for a month.
3:09 I think it expired last month.
3:15 This medicine is too expensive. I don't think I can afford it.
3:25 It's the same formula and it's FDA approved medicine, but you can check, sure.

The story
Measures to bolster Britain's online defences are being set out by the government, which is promising to make the country one of the safest places in the world to do business. The Chancellor Philip Hammond says the plans will help protect the government, firms and citizens from online threats and will allow the UK to strike back against state-sponsored hackers.
Rory Cellan-Jones - BBC News
A year ago George Osborne announced that the government would spend 1.9 billion pounds on cyber security by 2020. Now his successor as Chancellor is outlining how that money will be used to shore up Britain's cyber defences.
In a speech later today, Phillip Hammond will underline the threat posed by hackers taking advantage of new opportunities like the growth of connected home devices. More will be spent on automatic systems, tackling spam and malicious software.
Key words and phrases
strike back: attack someone who has attacked you
vow: make a strong promise to do something; make a determined decision to do something
malicious: (here) intended to harm or steal private information from a computer
cyber: relating to computers
shore up: make more secure
