Career – Career Training Courses – Smart Business Talk
There are so many ways of saying the same thing on a business-related occasion. Depending on the impact you would like to make
and the audience you are facing, you should have an arsenal of words and expressions to choose from to tailor your message and
achieve the optimal results.
We will start the course with some warm-up exercises with a list of verbs, adjectives, business idioms and colloquial
expression commonly used in business settings. We will then introduce to you various synonyms and phrases with similar meanings,
however, slight different connotations and usages. Some group exercises will be conducted to reinforce your understanding and
familiarity of the words. Special business situations such as interviews, business travel, meetings and conference calls,
will be addressed as well.
The topics will then be switched to how you can best present yourself in meetings and at presentations. We will discuss the
recommended posture, tone and pace. Choice of words is also an art when you speak to a group of people. It is on those occasions
that your mastery of English vocabulary is truly put to test.
You also need to react fast in a lot of situations to either defend yourself or make your opinions heard. How to be more
assertive, without being over-bearing, can also be an art in properly expressing yourself. We will provide a list of quick guides
to prepare you more naturally for those unforeseen moments.

Now I am preparing for my GMAT tests. The course books Turbocharge Your GMAT and Official Guide For GMAT are very helpful. I think the combination of these two books is very good. What I like the most about Turbocharge Your GMAT course is Vocabulary lists. The other books don't provide such lists, but for me as a foreigner it is very important to learn the words that may appear in GMAT. For example, I was afraid not to understand a task in math section or to misunderstand it, and not to give correct answer to relatively easy question just because I didn't understand the data or the question. But after I learned Math Vocabulary list I very seldom misunderstand a task. Now the hardest GMAT task for me is Reading comprehension, because my vocabulary sometimes is not enough to understand a text, especially if it is historic matter. So now I am learning words from Vocabulary lists. Now I study hard every day, because I realize I am at a disadvantage in comparison to test takers, whose native language is English.
