Meeting 5th
Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

Hello
So, at this fifth meeting, we will talk about the material Making Plans By Email, Keeping Clients Informed, and Informal Communication.
➢ MAKING PLANS BY EMAIL
• KEY LANGUAGE: EMAILS TO CO-WORKERS
English uses a variety of phrases to make and check plans with co-workers by email. In business emails, it is important to use polite and clear language to exchange information with co-workers. Emails to co-workers are often less formal than emails to clients or senior personnel.
Example:
To: Scott Walton
Cc: Giorgio Donati
Subject: Training session next week
Hello Scott,
Hope all's well with you. I just wanted to check that your team is coming to our training session. Will you be free next Friday at 2:30? Please see the provisional timetable attached. I'm copying Giorgio in on this. If you have any questions, please let me know.
All the best,
Linda
➢ KEEPING CLIENTS INFORMED
• KEY LANGUAGE: THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS
Use the present continuous to inform clients about current situations and future arrangements. Continuous tenses can also soften questions and requests. English uses the present continuous to describe what's happening right now.
Example:
1. We are aiming to give you a full progress report.
2. We are still waiting for a part from our supplier.
3. We are having a meeting with the IT department later today.
4. Malik is talking to HR next week to discuss the noise issues.
➢ INFORMAL COMMUNICATION
• KEY LANGUAGE: PHRASAL VERBS
Phrasal verbs have two or more parts. They are often used in informal spoken and written English, in things such as messages and requests to co-workers. Phrasal verbs consist of a verb followed by at least one particle. Most particles in phrasal verbs are prepositions, and the particle often changes the meaning of the verb.
Example: The paper in the copier has run out.
• FURTHER EXAMPLES PHRASAL VERBS
Example:
1. Could you look into fixing the coffee machine, please?
2. Welcome back! When would you like to catch up?
• FURTHER EXAMPLES SEPARABLE PHRASAL VERBS
1. They're giving samples of their products out.
2. Sue's sick today. Let's call the meeting off.
