The language we’re going to study in this episode will be useful for anyone who needs to hostvisitors. No matter whether we are giving journalists a demonstration of a factory, or introducing potential customers to our work site, or giving government officials a tour of aconstruction project, we need to show people around and point out areas of interest.
今天這節(jié)課中要學(xué)到的語言對任何需要招待客人的拜訪者都有用。無論我們是給游客介紹工廠,還是介紹潛在的客戶介紹我們的工作地點,或是給政府官員介紹建筑工作,我們都需要帶領(lǐng)別人參觀,并指出有意思的地點。
