Communication Skills-II

notes l You should not use too much jargons or slangs that may mar the intended meaning of a
dialogue.

Example:
Person a | Person B

a: “Are you new here?”
B: “Yeah. I just started yesterday.”
a: “Welcome aboard. I’m Jack.”
B: “I’m Mark. Nice to meet you.”

a: “What are you going to be working on?”
B: “I’m going to work on the planning team. But I haven’t started yet. I’m still in training.”
a: “The planning team is great. Our marketing team works with them closely. We’ll end up
working together sometimes.”

B: “That’s great. Oh, can I ask you some questions?”
a: “Sure.”
B: “Does this company have a casual Friday?”
a: “Not really. You can get away with wearing slacks, but I’ve never seen anyone wear jeans.”
B: “That’s alright. Do you know any good places to eat around here?”

a: “Yeah there’s a deli right across the street. They have fresh sandwiches and sometimes hot
dishes like teriyaki. It’s pretty good.”
B: “That sounds good. Thanks for the info.”
a: “No problem. If you need anything, I sit right around the corner here.”
