<p>Met dank aan onze klanten heeft The Square Mile € 1.200,- kunnen doneren aan 3FM Serious Request 2011 in Leiden.</p>
<p>Dit jaar ging de steun naar het Rode Kruis die aandacht vraagt voor moeders die geraakt zijn door oorlog- of conflictsituaties. De hele actie van 3FM in het Glazen Huis in Leiden heeft dit jaar maar liefst € 8.621.004,- opgebracht.</p>
<p>Het Rode Kruis helpt deze moeders met essentiële, primaire zaken als onderdak, medische hulp en noodhulpgoederen zoals voedsel, drinkwater, zeep en keukengerei. Maar ook met het verdienen van een eigen inkomen en het terugvinden van in de chaos vermiste familieleden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Herzlich Willkommen bei The Square Mile Online-Deutschstunden. Das Thema dieser Stunde ist: sich vorstellen, einander kennen lernen und Smalltalk. Was kann man sagen, wenn man einen deutschen Geschäftspartner auf dem Flughafen begrüßt, wenn man sich näher kennen lernen möchte oder wenn man einfach nur Smalltalk macht? </span></p>
<p>Link zu einem <a title="Online-Wörterbuch" href="http://www.uitmuntend.de/" target="_blank">Online-Wörterbuch</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Wie begrüßt man sich? Schauen Sie sich dieses Video an.</p>
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oULtdIRqpjs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Aufgabe 1</strong></p>
<p>Folgende Situation:<br />
Dienstagmittag, 13:30 Uhr, Flughafen Schiphol. Der deutsche Geschäftspartner (zakenpartner) Ihrer Firma, Herr Dr. Peter Müller, kommt gleich mit dem Flug aus Berlin an. Sie kennen den deutschen Geschäftspartner noch nicht.</p>
<iframe width='640px' height='210px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/151'></iframe> <iframe width='640px' height='188px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/152'></iframe> <iframe width='640px' height='210px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/153'></iframe> <iframe width='640px' height='188px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/154'></iframe>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Aufgabe 2</strong> Smalltalk mit dem Geschäftspartner im Auto.<br />
Wählen Sie aus den folgenden Möglichkeiten und tippen Sie die richtige in das freie Feld. Achten Sie auf die Großbuchstaben und die Umlaute.</p>
<p><em>Region – gefällt – Flughafen – Stadt – erhöht &#8211; Sie – das Wetter – Staus – Bauarbeiten –</em></p>
<iframe width='640px' height='276px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/155'></iframe>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sich vorstellen</strong></p>
<p>Auf diesem <a title="sich vorstellen" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cg5PtvOurc&amp;feature=relmfu" target="_blank">Video</a> können Sie in 4 Minuten sehen, wie Sie sich am besten zum ersten Mal bei Ihrem deutschen Gesprächspartner vorstellen. In diesem Film geht es zwar (weliswaar) um ein Bewerbungsgespräch (sollicitatiegesprek), aber die Umgangsformen sind die Gleichen, die auch Sie anwenden sollten, wenn Sie zum ersten Mal bei Ihrem Geschäftspartner in Deutschland sind.</p>

<p>Welcome to The Square Mile’s online lesson series. Today’s lesson continues with telephone phrases.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3005" href="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/english/common-telephone-phrases-2/attachment/red-phone-3/"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3005" title="red phone" src="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/wp-content/uploads/red-phone2-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Getting through</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>&#8220;…when you smile the whole world smiles with you…&#8221;</em></span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In English how you say something can be just as important as what you say. A flat intonation implies a lack of intrest, impatience and/or boredom and this is certainly not good for business relations. </span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Have you ever been frustrated by the number of calls that you receive, when all you want to do is finish your work? How do you react?</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Task 1</strong></span></span><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Watch the video below and think about how you would feel if you were the caller.</span></span></strong></p>
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0zZ-e4-rQ4w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Task 2</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes all you need to do is take a deep breath and smile. When you smile it can be heard over the phone and it will make all the difference. </span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now match the impolite phrases on the left with the polite expressions on the right.</span></span></p>
<iframe width='640px' height='1486px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/136'></iframe>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Task 3</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Watch the video from task 1 again and think of ways you could improve the exchange, between the caller and the person answering the phone, using the expressions from the previous task.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><strong>Task 4</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Listen to the following <a title="polite calling" href="http://hw.libsyn.com/p/b/3/b/b3b51c64108b3be1/BE360.14-Telephone1.mp3?sid=5269274e326b6556ba64992e4973ae13&amp;l_sid=18967&amp;l_eid=&amp;l_mid=2617914&amp;expiration=1323178536&amp;hwt=af1a521d1e9c8a03277c48d4ec12aaa8" target="_blank">podcast</a> and make note of the tips mentioned.</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3008" href="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/english/common-telephone-phrases-2/attachment/customer-service-cartoon/"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3008" title="Customer service cartoon" src="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/wp-content/uploads/Customer-service-cartoon-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="187" /></a></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2990" href="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/english/mini-lessons/common-telephone-phrases/attachment/red-phone-2/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2990" title="red phone" src="http://www.thesquaremile.nl/wp-content/uploads/red-phone1-300x247.jpg" alt="" width="149" height="124" /></a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Common telephone expressions</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><em>&#8220;I hate making and answering phone calls in English I never know what to say.&#8221;</em></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"> Is this something you would say? Well, one way to deal with this is to be prepared.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">By taking some time before making a call you can prepare by considering the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Who 	are you calling?</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Why 	are you calling?</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">What 	do you want to say?</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Every phone call will be different but you can begin by building a list of useful vocabulary and standard telephone phrases.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Task 1. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Complete the standard telephone phrases by matching the beginning of the phrases on the left with the end of the phrases on the right.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><iframe width='640px' height='536px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/133'></iframe></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><strong>Task 2</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Match the idiomatic expressions on the left with their meaning on the right.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><iframe width='640px' height='356px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/134'></iframe></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><strong>Task 3 </strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Complete the telephone dialogue extract using the expressions in task 1 &amp; 2. </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><iframe width='640px' height='298px' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://tsm-lesson-modules.heroku.com/exercises/135'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;"><strong>Task 4</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue,sans-serif;">Now listen to the <a title="podcast telephone expressions" href="http://www.businessenglishpod.com/2010/11/14/bep-69-a-telephoning-answering-a-call/" target="_blank">podcast </a>and take note of any useful tips and language.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&nbsp;</p>

<p>3FM en het Rode Kruis zetten zich elk jaar samen in om een stille ramp onder de aandacht te brengen. 3FM Serious Request 2011 vraagt aandacht voor moeders die geraakt zijn door oorlog- of conflictsituaties. Vanuit het Glazen Huis focust 3FM zich op deze drijvende maar zeer kwetsbare kracht van het gezin.</p>
<p>Het Rode Kruis helpt deze moeders met essentiële, primaire zaken als onderdak, medische hulp en noodhulpgoederen zoals voedsel, drinkwater, zeep en keukengerei. Maar ook met het verdienen van een eigen inkomen en het terugvinden van in de chaos vermiste familieleden.</p>
<p>Serious Request 2011 vindt plaats in Leiden. Als Leids bedrijf doet The Square Mile graag mee. Wij doneren € 100,- per cursus van 30 uur of langer die tussen 1 december en 24 december wordt goedgekeurd.</p>
