Hi, I'm Kate

Welcome to Business English!

Imagine: tomorrow, you have an important meeting, and you're the chair. It's the first time you're chairing a meeting in English! Think about this situation.Would you know what to say to start the meeting, present your main ideas, or summarise your meeting agenda?

想象一下：明天，你有一个重要的会议，你是主持人。这是你第一次用英语主持会议！想想这种情况下，你要说什么来开始会议、介绍你的主要想法或总结你的会议议程？

In this lesson, you'll learn how to chair a meeting in English. You can learn useful English words and phrases which you can use in your next meeting.

今天，我们就来分享如何用英语主持会议。

Now imagine： you’re in the meeting room. You need to start the meeting.What will you say?

现在想象一下：你在会议室里。您需要开始会议。你会说些什么？

Part one: welcoming attendees and starting the meeting.

Before the meeting starts, you have to make sure that everyone is

paying attention.

第一步：欢迎与会者并开始会议。

You could say:.

-Good afternoon, everyone

-If I could have your attention, please.

-Could I have your attention, please?

After you have everyone's attention, it's time to welcome the attendees and get things started.

得到大家的关注后，是时候欢迎与会者并开始开会了。以下是一些很好的通用短语：

-I'd like to welcome you all here today, now let's get down to business.

-Thank you all for coming.

-Perhaps we can make a start.

-Thanks everyone and welcome to today's meeting.

-Let's begin.

If this is your first time meeting these people, you could also introduce yourself. If there are other presenters in the meeting, this is also the time to introduce them.

如果这是你第一次见到参加会议的人，你也可以自我介绍一下。如果会议中还有其他要发表讲话的人，这个时候，你也应该一起把他们介绍给大家。

For example:

1.) I'd like to welcome you all here today, my name is Kate Moss and I'm the Marketing Manager, and this is Jon and he's the head of the design department. Now let's get down to business.

今天在这里欢迎大家，我的名字是 Kate Moss，我是市场营销部经理，这是Jon，他是设计部门的负责人。现在让我们开始开会吧。

2.) Thank you all for coming. My name's Kate and I'm the Marketing Manager. I'm sure you all know Diane, who's in charge of web content. Perhaps we can make a start.

谢谢大家来参加今天的会议。我的名字是Kate，我是营销经理。相信大家都知道负责网页内容的Diane。我想我们可以开始了。

3.) Thanks everyone and welcome to today's meeting.I'm Kate Moss, the Marketing Manager.This is Jessy, from the accounts department, and she'll also be presenting today. Let's begin.

谢谢大家，欢迎参加今天的会议。我是营销经理Kate Moss。这位是Jessy，

来自会计部门，她今天也将给大家做介绍。让我们开始吧。

Okay,以上，我们介绍了作为会议的主持人怎么用英文来开场，下期我们将介绍主持会议过程中的地道英语表达，下期见。
