SMALL TALK: KEEPING THE CONVERSATION GOING
Randy Hemp from the U.S. is visiting a customer in Taiwan.
He is talking to the Production Manager of a manufacturing plant in Teipei.
Manager: Is this your first visit here?
Hemp: No, in fact the first time I came was for a trade fair.
We began our East Asian operations here at the 1999 Exhibiton.
Manager: Shall we have a look around the plant before lunch?
a) What is the wrong with what the production manager says?
The answer is of course that it breaks a rule of conversation. Generally if you ask
a question you should comment on the answer or ask a supplementary question.
b) Now, suggest a better version of the same conversation

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 짧게 "좋았어요"라고 대답해도 자연스럽지만, 영어 비즈니스 대화에서는 짧은 대답만 하면 대화가 끊기고 상대방에게 관심이 없다는 인상을 줄 수 있습니다. 대답 후에 구체적인 내용을 덧붙이고, 상대방에게 관련 질문을 되돌려 주는 것이 대화를 이어가는 핵심입니다. 이것을 "follow-up"이라고 하며, 비즈니스 관계 형성에 매우 중요합니다.
