Hi tim here With another 9-5 English lesson in today's lesson, we're going to learn how to make arrangements in english.

Think of all the things that flow in and out of your company.

想一想所有流入和流出你公司的東西。

It could be anything from office supplies to raw materials.

它可以是任何東西，從辦公用品到原材料。

How do these things get to where they need to be?

這些東西如何到達它們需要的地方？

Someone is making arrangements and although lots of things are ordered online, there are still lots of arrangements made over the phone.

有人在做安排，雖然很多東西是在網上訂購的，但仍有很多安排是通過電話進行的。

So how do we make arrangements?

那麼，我們如何進行安排呢？

Well it starts with a polite suggestion or request in polite requests.

那麼它開始於禮貌性的建議或禮貌性的請求。

We often use the words would and could for example, you might say I would like to arrange a delivery or we would like something shipped.

我們經常使用would和could這兩個詞，例如，你可能會說我想安排一次送貨，或者我們想把東西運走。

Of course I would can be shortened to ID and we would two we'd to use.

當然，我可以簡稱為ID，我們可以用兩個we'd來代替。

Could you might say could we schedule a delivery, Let's practice some of these expressions for suggesting an arrangement.

你可以說我們能不能安排一次送貨，讓我們練習一下這些建議安排的表達方式。

Listen to each example, then repeat it for yourself.

聽聽每個例子，然後自己重複一遍。

Ready, let's get started.

準備好了，讓我們開始吧。

我想安排運送辦公用品。

Could we schedule a shipment for next week?

我們能不能安排在下週發貨？

Any chance we could have some paper sent to our Walkerton branch?

有沒有可能讓我們把一些文件寄到我們的沃克頓分部？

We'd like some units shipped as soon as possible notice the different verbs we use to make arrangements.

我們希望一些組織、部門儘快發貨注意我們用來安排的不同動詞。

We can say a range or schedule or have something sent or delivered when we have something done.

我們可以說一個範圍或時間表，或者在我們有事情做的時候讓人發送或交付東西。

We are making arrangements for someone else to do it.

我們正在安排別人來做這件事。

Now.

現在。

one important part of making arrangements is talking about when something will happen to schedule a time.

做出安排的一個重要部分是談論什麼時候會發生什麼事情，以安排時間。

You might use the language of suggestion like How about five o'clock but you might also continue using that word would as in thursday would be best or one PM would work for us.

你可以使用建議的語言，如五點如何，但你也可以繼續使用這個詞，如星期四是最好的，或下午一點對我們有用。

Let's try some examples of suggesting times.

讓我們嘗試一些建議時間的例子。

Remember to repeat the examples after you hear them.

記住在你聽到這些例子後，要重複它們。

Sometime on monday or Tuesday would work for us.

星期一或星期二的某個時間對我們來說是可行的。

We could do either Wednesday morning or friday afternoon.

one thing you might notice is suggesting options as in sometime on monday or Tuesday and either Wednesday morning or friday afternoon.

你可能注意到的一件事是建議選擇在週一或週二的某個時間，以及週三上午或週五下午。

Giving options is a great way to speed up arrangements whether you're arranging a delivery or trying to find a time to meet with someone.

So besides time you also need to arrange a place.

It might be a street address like 5 45 Oak Street or it might be a specific part of your building like the front door.
