Meeting 2 : Introductions & Getting To Know Colleagues

Hello friends, back to my blog again.

Today, 3 September in the second week I learned about the introductions and getting to know colleagues which Miss Noopyy gave in the English business course.

What are the important points that I learned from this quiz?? Let's see the explanation!!!

INTRODUCTIONS

When you first join a company, there are many phrases that you can use to introduce yourself. Other people may also use a variety of phrases to introduce you.

It is common to shake hands with new colleagues and introduce yourself.

•         Use when you meet someone you have heard about : You must be Raka from the UK. Tiza has told me a lot about you.
•     When you meet someone you think you may have met before : I think we met in Bandung, didn”t we? I’m Nurul from SM Group.
•     When you meet someone for the first time : Hello, I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Nuti.

GETTING TO KNOW COLLEAGUES

Talking about your past work experience is a good way to get to know your colleagues. Past simple and past continuous tenses are often used to do this.

• Use the past simple to talk about a single, completed action in the past, past habits, or a state that was true for a time in the past.

“I fixed computers.” “I worked for TCE consultants.” = Add "-ed" to most verbs to form the past simple.

“I ran may own construction company.” “I was a legal assistant.” = Many common verbs have irregular past simple form.

• Use the past continuous to talk about ongoing actions that were in progress at a certain time in the past.

For example:

Kai : What was your last job like?

Sehun : Awfull I was working 60 hours a week before I came here.

I hope my explanation can help all of you. 

Today, I was given a quiz on the application that I had mentioned at the previous meeting. What's the quiz like? definitely related to the introduction material and getting to know colleagues that I explained to you earlier. Interestingly, the quiz method is not boring, friends. Because it uses audio. So, we can increase our listening skills. That's all the quiz for this week's meeting. I'm sure you guys can be more excited for the next quiz..
