"Jung" und restlos begeistert


I


ch vermure mal, dass ich mir 75 der " jüngsre" Abonnent bei
Bllsmess Spotlight bin. Ich möchre mich überschwänglich
bei Ihnen für das Herausbringen von Skill Up! bedanken. Die
Nr. 2 " Talking about müney" har mich restlos begeistert.
Trotz meines biblischen Alters sirL.e ich aber noch jeden Tag
ca. zwei Stunden im Auto, um meine Kunden zu besuchen.
Diese zwei Srunden würde ich liebend gerne zum Vokabel-
lernen verwenden. In der Vergangenheit habe ich noch mit ei-
nem Grundig-Rekorder und Bändcrn versucht, selbst Auf-
nahmen zu machen. Das Problem war, dass die Aufnahmc-
qualität schlecht war. Können Sie mir einen Tipp geben, wel-
che Gcräte ich kaufen muss, um möglichst viele Vokabeln,
aber auch aktuelle Texte herunterladen zu können?

Thank you for your kind comments.1I you want to download and listen 10 our
MP3 vocabulary files. you need onty buy a very simple MP3 player. Today, most
MP3 players will hold more than enough files for your needs. 11, however, you
want to record yourself. you will probably need to buy a more expensive mod-
el. If I were you, I would go to your local electronic store and ask for a dem on-
stratiofl 01 the latest models. telliflg the salesperson that you want to use il
for recording speech as weil as for listening to MP3 files. Good luck and hap-
py feamiflg! The Editor

Could I point this out?


F


irsrly, let mc thank you for your customer-service reST (" A
quesrion of respecr", Business Spotlight 212010 ), which is
dcfinitely relevant to my eall-agent srudents. Secondly, with
fear and rrepidarion, could! point out a couple of small
things? Secrion 5-b (pali te phoning) gives the option:
"Would you give me your name, please?" !'ve never acrual-
Iy heard that on the phone and always use "could". In Sec-
rion 1O-d (Howare we doing?), [ would probably use
"were" ("Staff were ... ") rather rhan "was", as th e customer
may have had dealings wirh more than o ne persoll. Please
take these thoughts in rhe kind spirir ther are offered.
