Arsenio’s Business English Podcast | Season 6 | Sales | Meeting Sales Targets & Planning a Meeting

thearseniobuckshow

Have you mind-mapped your way into organizing your ideas in terms of increasing sales? What do you do with your existing customers? New opportunities? From my personal perspective, there are many outlets and demographics — so I need to be careful with WHERE the time-wasters are and the potential hot-prospects (people who want serious help). In today’s podcast, we’re going to be mind-mapping and listen to a meeting (with various accents) of people discussing future sales opportunities, as well as what YOU THINK will happen in your region next year (considering the pandemic).

thearseniobuckshow

For the first time ever, I’ve taken my courses off UDEMY and now they’ll be debuting on my Facebook page! I’m so excited to bring you up to 30 videos over the next 30 days, leading to the debut of Phase IV and V on podia (stay tuned). I made these pronunciation courses initially for those of you who have difficulty with pronunciation in general. This is a comprehensive course that will require you to send your home to me, check your speech profile, your pronunciation levels, etc. Because UDEMY’s marketplace isn’t very good, I decided to focus on my real demographic, which is obviously my ESL Podcast, FB page, YouTube, etc. So, here’s the introduction to what you’ll be learning today! For the next 30 days, tune in at the same time. Also, make sure you check my blog for the template debut and coursework on a consistent basis.

IELTS | Developing Speaking | Impromptu Topics

thearseniobuckshow

You read it right! In today’s podcast/live video, we’re going to be discussing how you can quickly think on your feet. I was having a discussion with a nurse recently and she has constant pauses and hesitations. This could be for a number of reasons, but the goal here is to rewire how you think. I don’t have difficulty with answering topics because there are associations/feelings with each word. For instance, if you say deforestation, I quickly think of either the fires raging in Brazil or the deforestation that takes place, quietly, in the north of Thailand. So, with that being said, here are some topics that you can write on index cards and play the game with your friends to start boosting your response rate.

  • Challenging experience
  • Learning English
  • Future studies
  • Benefits and drawbacks to international aid organizations
  • You’ve been doing a long time
  • Disadvantages for online auction sites
  • A family you take after most…
  • Your childhood neighbors
  • Why do you go on holiday?
  • Working with children in orphanage
  • What do you dislike about science?
  • New technology effect on future employment
  • Extreme diets
  • Online learning
  • Business leaders
  • Climate change
  • endangered species
  • Refugee crisis
  • The future of cinema

Put the above bullet points on index cards and play it with friends!

TOEFL iBT | Part 4 Question | Speaking | 1 on 1 Coaching | Biological Clocks

thearseniobuckshow

With his wife cheering him on in the background, here’s the final question and the last of this series.  Biological clocks, a part 4 question with a lot of detail, was given to him and it, as you would expect, was a bit difficult.  It’s all about separating information though and note-taking, so in the beginning, you can expect to have some resistance. But as you may have heard in the coaching sessions with one of my Peruvian students, it could be manageable and built up over the course of 5 hours — literally.

TOEFL iBT | Part 2 Question | Speaking | 1 on 1 Coaching | Free Shuttle Service

thearseniobuckshow

Welcome back to the Part II of the coaching segment with one of my students. So, in this podcast, you’re going to hear that my student had difficulty hearing it at the beginning. Although you will be able to hear and take notes on the free shuttle service recording, why couldn’t he? Again, it’s another case of the “I didn’t take notes because I wasn’t able to separate information accordingly.” It’s completely fine, but it could be problematic come test day because you get only one chance.  This was just a tester from the beginning of my coaching with him, so he has gotten far better.  But in the beginning, it was hard for him to take notes on particular lectures. 

The Good

  • Great opening
  • Two reasons…..
  • Chronological order

TOEFL iBT | Part 1 Question | Speaking | Spending vs. Saving

thearseniobuckshow

Months ago I had a client from Palestine who was looking to pass the TOEFL iBT, and because he would freak out so much, he would lose his thought, become discouraged and stop taking notes (as you’ll hear in the next few podcasts).

In this speaking question, he got only 15 second to prepare. Here’s how he did.

  • Thesis
  • Stance
  • Plan to buy a car
  • Save money for his wife
  • Buy a house

He had structure overall and backed up his thesis in terms of supporting details. However, it could’ve been better if he had said “invest” instead of “save.” Because if he saves money only to spend it on a car and house, that’s not really saving, right? But investing in future ownership is different. So it’s a little difficult to say which is better. Also, his grammatical errors were a bit of a problem…and that might make him stumble over his words, cause hesitation and lose his thought.

IELTS Live Coaching | Speaking | Sourabh of India | Speaking Parts II & III

thearseniobuckshow

WOOHOO! Sourabh has been a great help in terms of joining my podcast. I’m excited to introduce this to you today because, in this half-hour snippet, I give Sourabh valuable feedback. Now, he’s been on my developing speaking podcast before with one of my favorite Tibetan students, so this isn’t the first time. The interesting part about this is making it a mock environment, meaning doing it in front of a live audience, and the nervousness had set in. So this is great for students to take part in. Enjoy!
