my diary four!!!




In the unit 14, saw the logistics; passives voice, and active voice.


We did the exercise in the book, for example:




  • the inventory control and smart tag technology; put the words in the correct groups; (run out of, keep count, broadcast, antennas, microchips, empty shelves,etc.).


  • the compound nouns; in this part matched the words with partnerships;(after-sales----benefits, returned goods----service,etc.).


  • word-building; in this part, completed the table (distribute(verb)--distribution(noun), excite(verb)--excitement(noun), combine(verb)--combination(noun)).


And Dealing with question; for example: doesn´t know the answer, knows the answer but doesn't want to tell the truth, and knows the answer but finds the question inappropriate.



finally dealing with difficult questions requires answers that:





  • buy time


  • have been carefully prepared to make a good impression


  • repeat positive messages to avoid direct answers


  • avoid answering by asking another question.


That's all in this week...
