Tips: Business Introductions
Larry: Culture Tips
This Culture Tip answers the question: “How should I introduce a colleague to an American?”
“Phải nói sao khi giới thiệu một đồng nghiệp với một người Mỹ?”
Eliz: Welcome once again to “Culture Tips” We’re here with Gary Engleton
Gary: Welcome, everybody!
Eliz: Today we’re going to talk about business introductions in American companies The e-mail question is:”How should I introduce a colleague to an American?”
Gary: Well, just remember, you have two responsibilities First, you have to make sure that each person learns the other person’s name and business title That’s the easy part
Eliz: Why is that the easy part?
Trang 2Gary: Because you can use standard language like,”Harry, I’d like you to meet Sally.” “Sally
is our Vice President of Marketing.”
Eliz: Saying “I’d like you to meet ” is pretty standard
Gary: But after you’ve introduced the two people, you should try to help them continue the conversation
Eliz: Because when two people meet for the first time, they may not know what to say to each other?
Gary: Yes, that’s exactly right So you can add some information that will help them start talking For example, you can say,”Harry just got back from Singapore.” Then Sally can say,”How was your trip?” or “How did you like Singapore?”
Eliz: So you help them to begin to make small talk?
Gary: Yes, exactly Small talk makes everyone very comfortable
Eliz: Thanks, again, Gary, for your valuable information!
Gary: I’m always glad to help

Vietnamese Explanation
Trong đọan tới quí vị nghe Gary chỉ thêm về cách giới thiệu Phân biệt cách dùng “It’s nice to meet you,” hân hạnh gặp bạn, dùng lần đầu Và khi đã được giới thiệu rồi, và gặp lại thì nói,”It’s nice to see you.” Making introductions is more than giving a name and job title.= Giới thiệu không phải chỉ nói tên và chức vụ mà thôi
You can also help people feel comfortable with each other through small talk.=Bạn cũng giúp cho họ cảm thấy dễ chịu (tự nhiên, thoải mái) bằng những câu hỏi thăm mào đầu
Cũng nhận xét là khi gặp lần đầu, người Mỹ gọi người khác bằng họ người đó Thí dụ: Sau khi được ông Epstein giới thiệu với ông Charles Blake, “Shirley, this is Charles Blake from International Robotics,” thì bà Shirley Graham trả lời,”It’s nice to meet you, Mr Blake.” Và ông Charles Blake trả lời,”Pleased to meet you, Ms Graham.” Ôn lại: khi giới thiệu ai, ta dùng một trong những câu sau đây:
“This is ” hay “I’d like you to meet ,”hay “I’d like to introduce you to ” Và khi được giới thiệu lần đầu, ta có thể dùng:
“How do you do?”
“Pleased to meet you.” Hay: “It’s nice to meet you.”

Gary’s Tips: Introducing someone else
Larry: Gary’s Tips
UPBEAT MUSIC
Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!
Gary: Hello, Elizabeth! Today I’ll be talking about how to make introductions Sometimes you will need to introduce one of your business colleagues or co-workers to another And
sometimes you will be introduced to someone else So it is very useful to know the
expressions to use in these situations Earlier, we listened as Mr Epstein introduced Ms Graham and Mr Blake He first introduced Ms Graham to Mr Blake, using the expression
“This is ”
Epstein: This is our Vice President, Shirley Graham
Gary: He introduces her by her title—Vice President—and by her full name—Shirley
Trang 5Graham Then he introduces Mr Blake to Ms Graham Again he uses the expression “This is ”
Epstein: Shirley, this is Charles Blake from International Robotics
Gary: Mr Epstein calls Ms Graham by her first name, Shirley, because they work together and are comfortable using first names Mr Blake and Ms Graham are meeting for the first time, so they use last names They say “Mr Blake” and “Ms Graham.”
Graham: It’s nice to meet you, Mr Blake
Blake: Pleased to meet you, Ms Graham.(pause)
Gary: And in today’s Business Dialog, we learn some other expressions for making
introductions To begin the introduction, the President tells Mary the name and title of the company Vice President
President: Now I’d like to introduce you to Harry Abrams Harry is our Vice President of Marketing
Gary: The expression “I’d like to introduce you to ” can be used when you introduce
someone or before you introduce them
Gary: Let’s listen again
President: Now I’d like to introduce you to Harry Abrams Harry is our Vice President of Marketing [knock on the door-gõ cửa]
Harry: Yes Come in
President: Harry, I’m sorry to interrupt you, but I’d like you to meet Mary Jenkins, our new Office Manager
Gary: The company president uses the expression “I’d like you to meet ”
“I’d like you to meet ” and “I’d like to introduce you to ” are two common ways to make introductions
Notice that Mary calls Harry Abrams “Mr Abrams” because he is company Vice President Harry: It’s nice to meet you, Mary
Mary: Nice to meet you too, Mr Abrams
Gary: They say “It’s nice to meet you” because they are meeting for the first time When they see each other again, they will say “It’s nice to see you.” The President then gives some additional information about Mary
President: Mary was Office Manager at Global Electronics with your old friemd Bob
Harry: Oh really, how is Bob?
Mary: He’s doing very well He’s a Vice President now
Harry: I’m glad to hear it
Gary: Making an introduction is more than giving a name and job title
You can also help people feel comfortable with each other through small talk I hope today’s tips were helpful! Thanks for joining us today for Gary’s Tips We’ll see you again next time! Eliz: Thanks Gary!
