Previous Counseling

Dear Gerard,

Here's the lesson plan for one month. :-)

-Ellen

Hi Ellen

Can you include the following lessons in my next list please:

• Personal Ad
• Bad Service Restaurant - Upper Intermediate
• Love Letter
• Playing the Stock Market - Upper Intermediate

Although two of the lessons are upper intermediate the content is interesting and I can take a little longer to study them.

Can you pick the remaining lessons based on my weaknesses / development needs.

Thanks

Gerard

Dear Gerard,

Yes. Don't worry. Of course I will give you 20 calls as you subscribed for one month's Executive service. :-)

-Ellen

Hi Ellen

Two things:

1.  I will call you today for my class at 2.30pm.

2. I am going on holiday tomorrow to England until 9th July.  Therefore:

• I would like to cancel / reschedule tomorrow's (Tuesday's) class because I will be on a plane.
• I would like to try having a class on Wednesday but I will have to call you during your evening in Shanghai (eg, 4.00pm - 5.30pm).  Can we discuss / email to agree the best time.

Thank you

Gerard

Ellen

SKYPE CONTACT NAME

I enjoyed today's lesson.

When I call you on Wednesday at 4.15pm (Shanghai time) I will use Skype or a UK mobile phone.  What is your skype name so I can set you up as a contact and call you.  Mine is gerard01011 (you can send me an invitation to be a contact too).

Thank you

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

I've already added you on Skype. :-)

-Ellen

Hi Ellen

Sorry we got cut off. However, it was after 10 mins so it was OK.

What time can I call you tomorrow on Thursday (Shanghai time)? I would like to call you around the same time if possible as it will be the morning in the UK.

Thank you

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

Pls call me tomorrow at 3.15pm (Shanghai time), around the same time as today. :-)

Hi Ellen

Next Set of Topics

I only have one topic after this current one.

When you are selecting my next set of lessons can you base them on my regular mistakes & weaknesses during our calls and also include two lessons that interest me (Job Interview, A guys advice on Women). 

Thanks

Gerard

你好，Gerard！

Ok.

Any further suggestions or ideas about the lessons, please feel free to let me know. Thanks. :-)

Ellen (Yuanlijie)

I enrolled on on the Executive programme on 8 June but did not have my Needs Analysis call until 15 June. You have requested that my next call with is on 22 June.  Given that my one month expires on 9 July this leaves enough days for only 13 calls. I should be entitled to 20 calls. Given that my Needs Analysis represents 1 call, if we start my lessons on 22 June as scheduled, my final call should be on 16 July. Can you please ensure my access/call programme is maintained until this date. 

Thank you.  

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

You can listen to the podcast first before you read the PDF. So you can use them as the listening materials. You can also try to watch some Chinese TV programs, Chinese films and Chinese songs, I think that will also help to improve your listening skills.  :-)

Ellen

Dear Gerard,

Here's the new lesson list. :-)

-Ellen

Hi Ellen

Can we change the lesson order slightly please? Can we study "Ordering a Chinese Takeout" on Tuesday please?

Thank you

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

Ok. No problem. 

Ellen

Hi Ellen

I have a business call today at 2.00pm that might not finish until 3.00pm.  Is there any other time you can do today?

Thanks

Gerard

Talk to u at 3.30pm today. :-)

Hi Ellen

On Wednesday's I will have a call at 2.00pm. Therefore, would it be possible to do our Wednesday calls at 3.30pm?

Thanks

Gerard

HI, Gerard

Ok. Wednesday at 3.30pm. :-)

Ellen

Hi Ellen

How can I improve my listening skills / comprehension so they are more equal to my speaking ability?
