Bussines communication
Ex.2
Nice to meet you Alicia.
Jamal: I don't think we've met.
Alicia: Nice to meet you, I'm Alicia.
Alicia: Is this your first Nordica workshop?
Jamal: Yes. My colleague is sick so my manager asked me to come instead. Do you know many people here?
Alicia: Not really. I was recently transferred from purchasing.
Jamal: What a coincidence! So was I!
Alicia: By the way, it's our new company policy - transfer rather than hire new people.
Jamal: Oh dear. We discussed the idea for our region, too, a few months ago.
Alicia: Well, I'm sure it's a good solution for many companies.
Jamal: Yes, you're probably right.
Alicia: So, would you like a drink? I'm going to get a coffee.
Jamal: Not at the moment, thanks. Catch you later.
