	Description:		Welcome back to Business English Pod. Today’s lesson is the first in a series about agreeing and disagreeing. This is part of a broader project to take another look at some of our older lessons. Success in business can depend on how your opinions align with other people’s ideas. For this reason, agreeing and disagreeing are essential communication skills. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the board room, the meeting room, or the staff room, you need to know how to agree and disagree effectively. Today, we’re going to focus on agreeing. In fact, there are many ways to agree with someone! Sometimes we want to use a short expression. Sometimes we need something longer and more polite. Sometimes we want to show energy and enthusiasm. And sometimes we want to use an example or repeat someone else’s idea. It really depends on the situation. In today’s dialog, we’ll hear a conversation between three people who work for a pharmaceutical, or drug company. Gene, Louis, and Carina are talking about the results of a new trial for a drug called Zorax. In their conversation, they use many different expressions for agreeing. Listening Questions 1. How does Louis agree with the idea that the drug will be a “big seller?” 2. What is one word that means “excellent” or “very good” that is used to agree? 3. What idea does Gene repeat with emphasis at the end of the conversation?
