A material scientist, a biologist, a physicist, and a boat driver are in dingy in the middle of a river with a crocodile in a cage. The boat driver is nervous and is worried the crocodile might brake out of the cage and eat them all.
The material scientist says he doesn’t need to worry about the crocodile breaking out because the cage is much to strong for the crocodile to break out. The biologist says he doesn’t need to worry about the crocodile breaking out because the crocodile was recently fed and won’t attempt to break out until it is hungry. The physicist says that he doesn’t need to worry about the crocodile breaking out because with four people, a crocodile and a heavy metal cage in the dingy the boat will soon sink and they will all drown.

I have experienced many special occasions throughout my life. However, one very special occasion was my graduation. All of my family and friends came to my graduation to celebrate with me. I graduated from university and received my master’s degree, so they were very happy for me. Even though it seems like yesterday, it was actually 15 years ago in the winter. Specifically, it was in the month of Feburary. I graduated from Michigan State University, which is a well-known university in Michigan. I worked very hard for my degree. So, I was happy to be able to share my graduation with my family and friends.
The entire occasion made me feel amazing. I was also proud of myself because I never gave up, even though my classes were extremely hard. But, I was also grateful to my family and friends for their support each and every day.
One special thing that I remember from the occasion happened when I received my diploma. As I mentioned, my parents have always supported me. Throughout my time in university, my parents sacrificed everything for me so that I could reach my dreams. So, when I got up to receive my degree, I called my parents to the stage as well. They cried tears of joy as we stood on the stage together holding my degree high in the air. My parents taught me that it is important to always thank people who have helped you. I will never forget that lesson.

Coursera 자막 통해서 강의할 때 사용한 표현과 학습내용을 함께 익히면 좋을 것 같습니다.
[Lecture script]
In this lesson,
we'll look at how to startan email, what we write in the first sentence,
and how to end an emailwith a friendly closing sentence.
At the end of this lesson,
you will beable to use what you've learned earlier in this module to writea well formatted and organized email with an appropriatesubject line and tone.
In professional emails, we usually give the reason for writing in the first sentence.
We often start with I'm writing to,and then you use a verb phrase.
Some common verb phrases are request,inquire about, inform you about, or inform you of.
As you learned in the last lesson,these are more formal verbs.
Here is some examples.
> I'm writing to request some information.
> I'm writing to inquire about your program.
> I'm writing to informyou of our new product.
And here are some examples usingthe more neutral verbs ask for, ask about, and tell you about.
> I'm writing to ask for some information.
> I'm writing to ask about your program.
> I'm writing to tell youabout our new product.
Instead of a verb phrase,we can use a noun phrase.
After I am writing, we can use a wordregarding, followed by a noun phrase.
For example, > I'm writing regarding my order.
> I'm writing regarding the advertisement.
> I'm writing regardingthe package you sent me.
In a more neutral style,you can use about instead of regarding.
> I'm writing about my order.
> I'm writing about the advertisement.
> I'm writing about the package you sent me.
So if you want to be lessformal in the opening sentence, you can start with I wanted to,instead of I'm writing to.
Here are some examples.
> I wanted to ask for some information.
> I wanted to let you knowabout our next conference.
> I wanted to ask about yournew service agreement.
Remember that using a past formwanted is a way of being indirect.
Sometimes you need to answersomeone's email, so how do you start?
Well, you can start like this.
> I'm writing in response to youremail requesting information.
In a more neutral style,you can write,
> thank you for your email asking about our new software.
Notice that the purpose the previous emailis given by adding I-N-G to the verb.
> I'm writing in response to youremail requesting information.
We can also use the word regarding.
> I'm writing in response to your emailregarding our new service agreement.
> Thank you for your email regarding yourorder,
or in a more informal style, about.
> Thank you foryour email about last week's meeting.
A common mistake is to includeyour name in the opening sentence.
It's not considered professional. But you can use your position like this, > I'm the new head of marketing for Moonstone and I'm writing.
Okay, now that you've learned how to beginan email you just need to learn how to close one.
If you were talking to someone face toface you wouldn't just suddenly say bye, you would use a phrase like well it's been nice talking with you. Or, listen I'd better get going.
It's the same in email.
It's important to end an emailwith a closing sentence.
Especially when you're writing tosomeone you don't know very well.
If you don't use one,it might sound too abrupt.
Meaning that it would sound rude.
There are several friendly closingsentences that we commonly use in email, let's learn a few.
Here we can use the expression,I look forward to.
Notice that after to we use a verb andi-n-g.
If the reader has helped you, you canuse thank you in the closing sentence.
If you're asking the readerto do something in advance, you can write thank you in advance.
In these examples we can use please.
Often in the closing sentence werepeat the main purpose of the email by using the word again.
Finally, let's talk about layout.
The friendly closingsentence is often by itself in a separate paragraphbefore the closing and name.
Look at this example. The layout helps to avoidending too abruptly.
Great, sonow you know how to close out an email in a friendly, professional way.

but I like to have a cup of coffee and relax first.
At the start of the day, I always check my emails and answer the most important ones,

Please call me back at 558- 8976. Thank you.
Watch and listen to Gabriela return Sofia's call.
Hello, Epic Events. This is Sofia, how may I help you?

Hi, Gabriela, thanks for calling back. I want to schedule a meeting with you to discuss our plans for conference.
Are you available on Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock?
Yes, Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock is fine for me.
Sorry, can you repeat that?

Hi, sorry, who is this?
It's Lucy.
Hi Lucy. I don't have this number for you.
I know, this is a new phone. Save this number for me.
Okay, great. Well, what's up?
I'm calling about lunch today. Gabriela, Paolo and I want to order a delivery. What kind of food do you like?
In this area, there's pizza, Peruvian food, vegetarian food and sushi. Do you like sushi?
Yes, I do. But Gabriela is vegetarian, does she eat sushi?
Yes, she does. In fact, sushi is her idea. Do you think 30 pieces of sushi is enough for our group?
No, I don't. I'm very hungry.
Okay, 40 pieces then. Do you want to eat around 1:30?
Sorry, could you say that again?
Do you want to eat around 1:30?
That's better. Yes, 1:30 is fine. Let's eat at the tables outside. Call me when the sushi arrives.
Okay.
Great, talk to then, bye.
Bye.
Model situation 2: Coordinating by Phone. Watch and listen as Gabriela calls Sofia for suggestions about planning a conference. Epic Events.
This is Sofia. How may I help you?
Hi, Sofia. This is Gabriela Cortes from Global Voice.
Hi, Gabriela. It's great to talk to you again to review the plans for the conference.
I'm glad to have your help. This is the first time I've planned a conference, and what's more, a conference for 200 attendees. It's good that we are planning one year in advance.
Do you have exact dates?
Yes, I do. The conference starts on Monday, June 2nd, and ends on Friday, June 6th.
For those dates, I recommend the Star Hotel. I'm not familiar with the Star Hotel.
Can you tell me about it?
It's located on 3rd Avenue near many offices and government buildings.
It has plenty of parking, it's also accessible by metro. Best of all, it has all the facilities we need in one location.
Two auditoriums, 12 meeting rooms, three banquet halls, and 10 executive suites for special guests.
That sounds perfect. We should meet with the hotel managers as soon as possible.
Can you please schedule a meeting with them next week?
Of course.
Next, I suggest that we think about how to register the 200 attendees.
I think we should use an online registration system,
that way we can process all of the attendees' payments and easily maintain contact with everyone.
Excellent. Let me arrange it. It's a good idea to have a website for the conference and connect the registration system to it.
What else should we think about?
We need a marketing plan.
I recommend using the online system to help us market the event by sending out emails.
It's not a good idea to only use the website for marketing, though.
We should arrange a social media campaign and connect the website to all of the major social media platforms.
My colleagues, Camila and Paolo, know a lot about social media; we should ask for their help.
Let's think about the price of the conference. How much does it cost for attendees?
I recommend that you consider different prices for students and professionals.
I think that for a five-day conference,
the price should be 70,000 pesos for students and 100,000 pesos for professionals.
It's a good idea to offer a discount in hotel rooms for attendees during the conference.
Yes, of course. Now, let's think about the on-site details.
With 12 meeting rooms, each session can have 16 or 17 people attend.
That's a good small audience size.
I suggest that we walk through the venue and see it from the attendees' perspective,
that way we can predict any problems they might have.
We should, of course, provide a map of the venue for the attendees.
Great. Let's walk through the venue next week during our meeting with the hotel managers.
Let's talk more about the materials for the attendees.
I recommend a standard welcome kit containing a pen, notebook, name tag, and
the conference information booklet.
Can you print the conference logo on the bags, pens, and notebooks?
Yes, absolutely. Please send me the logo by May 19th and expect the materials to be ready by May 26th.
Excellent.
I think this event is in good hands with Epic Events.
Let's have a follow-up meeting in two weeks.
When is a good time for you?
Can you meet on Friday morning at 10:00?
That's Friday the 15th?
Yes, the 15th. 11:00 is better for me because I have another meeting.
Okay, 11:00 it is. See you then.
Thank you, Sofia. See you then.
WEEK4
Model situation 1:
Gabriella Coordinates Meetings.
Watch Gabriella reserve a meeting room with Paolo, the office assistant.
Listen carefully to the vocabulary and grammar they use.
Good morning, Paolo, how are you?
I'm good. Thanks. How are you?
I'm well thanks but very busy today.
How can I help you?
I'm going to interview three candidates on Friday the 24th for a job in the finance department.
Okay, so do you need me to reserve one of the meeting rooms for you?
Yes, please.
What time do you need the room?
Please can you book the room from quarter past 9 to 12 o'clock?
We're going to interview people from 9:30, but I need a little time to arrive and organize myself before we start.
Okay, let me see which reading rooms are available on Friday.
Okay, Meeting Room 3 is available here on third floor.
Would you like me to reserve it for you?
Is the meeting room on the second floor available?
Unfortunately Camille is going to use the room all morning.
I think she has a meeting with the clients.
Okay, no problem. Can you reserve Meeting Room 3 for me please?
Certainly done.

And Maria is the third candidate at quarter to 11.

No, thank you. They aren't going to need any food. Just some tea and coffee please.
No problem. Send me their email addresses today and I can contact them and send them instructions for Friday.
Great. Can you remind them to arrive 10 minutes early so we don't start late.
Yes. By the way, I'm not going to be here on that day.
I'm going on a holiday from the 13th to the 27th.
Karen is going to replace me while I'm away.
Where are you going? Anywhere nice.
Yes, I'm going to the south with my family for two weeks.
We're going to fly to Chillaway and then travel from Chillaway to Taurus and Pregnant. I can't wait.

Model situation 2.
Camila asks for directions to a meeting.
You will now see an interaction between Camila and Gabriela.
Listen carefully to the directions Gabriela gives, and follow the route on the map.
Hi, Gabriela.
Hi, Camila. How can I help you?
I need to go to the bank, but I don't know the area very well.
Are there any banks near here?
Yes, there are two near here. One of them is only five minutes away.
Perfect.
Leave the office and turn left. Go straight ahead until there's a park in front of you.
Then turn right, go straight ahead for two blocks and it's on the left,
between the pharmacy and the movie theater.
You can't miss it.
So I turn left out of this building, walk until the park is in front of me and then turn right?
Yes, that's right.
Can you do me a favor when you go to the bank, please?
Of course. What do you need?
There is an amazing coffee shop just around the corner from the bank.
Can you get me a cappuccino, please?
Of course. Thank you.
So when you leave the bank, take a left, then take the first right down Main street.
The coffee shop is on the right behind the shopping mall.
There's a restaurant next to it.
So I take a left out of the bank, and then take the second right?
No, take the first right. It's only two blocks away. First right.
There aren't many good coffee shops in this part of town, so I recommend you try the coffee from there.
I should be back in 30 minutes. See you later.
See you later.
WEEK5
Model situation 1:Model Situation one. How did the interviews go? Watch and listen to
Gabriela talk to Paolo about past work activities.
Hello, Gabriela.
Hi, Paolo. Welcome back. How was your trip?
It was so relaxing. The weather was beautiful in Chiloe and [inaudible] was spectacular.
That's great.
And how were things here will I was away?
Well, if you remember, we talked about my plans to interview three candidates for the job in the finance department?
Yes. The interviews were on Friday, the 24th?
Yes, that's right. They were.
Were you able to use room three? Was everything in good condition?
Yes. The room was very comfortable.
The interviews were engaging and the candidates were interesting.
Great and you're still planning the human resources conference, right?
Yes, that's right. Last Friday after the interviews, I talked to Sophia Martinez from Epic Events.
And how did that call go?
It went really well. It was really productive. We made a lot of progress, planning the conference.
Excellent.
Sophia's ideas were helpful and her advice was effective.
We decided on dates and a venue for the conference.
What was your decision about the venue?
Sophia recommended the Star Hotel. It was interesting, because I didn't know about it before.
Were there any other details to be discussed?
Yes. We talked about a website and a marketing plan for the event, the prices for the event, and the materials to provide.
It was exhausting trying to think about everything at the same time.
But Sophia was so organized that I know we will have a good plan.
Model situation 2:
Gabriela follows up with Epic Events.
Watch Gabriela and Sofia have a follow-up meeting.
Hi, Gabriela. Welcome back to the office.
Thank you, Sofia. It's great to be here.
Would you like some coffee, tea, or water?
No, nothing for me. Thanks.
I arrived early and had a coffee across the street.
Well, we have a lot to follow up on, so let's get started.
Yes. Let me tell you about what I did this week.
Yesterday, I brainstormed with a conference committee about the sessions during the conference.
We discussed our ideas about topics for the conference sessions
and we prepared a plan for the conference schedule.
Did you file the plan in our shared folder?
Yes, I did. I checked to see that it was saved.
Great. I talked to the managers at the Star Hotel,
and they advised me on the best meeting rooms to use for particular activities.
They recommended one meeting room for lectures and
a different meeting room for group activities.
I reserved the meeting rooms
and I reserved a group of hotel rooms for guest speakers and attendees from out of town.
Did you ask the hotel management about the discount on hotel rooms for conference attendees?
Yes, I did. They offered a good discount for conference attendees to stay at the Star Hotel.
What else did you talk about with the hotel management?
We also planned the meal services for every day of the conference.
The hotel can provide breakfast and lunch each day.
We arranged for two dinners at restaurants outside the hotel, correct?
That's correct.
Also, it's possible to have catering services to provide some dinners in the hotel banquet rooms.
The hotel manager commented on some caterers that he knew, and recommended one in particular.
I scheduled another meeting for next week with the hotel management and the caterers.
I contacted two potential guest speakers last week.
We chatted a bit about their speeches for the conference sessions and they are very enthusiastic.
I prepared the contracts for the guest speakers and emailed them to you yesterday.
Yes, I received them. I researched online reservation systems and web designers.
I decided on one web designer.
Can you meet with me and the web designer next Tuesday at 10?
Yes, I can.
Well, that concludes my report.
Do you have anything else?
Well, to close this meeting, I have some good news.
The National Human Resources Association approved our plan for this conference,
so they are now a sponsor.
Wonderful. Congratulations.
This is great for promoting the conference.
Well, thank you for your time today, and I look forward to our next meeting.
