Topic: Business trips
Lesson: Changing situations
This week we are looking at some more useful English phrases to describe changes to plans before or during a business trip.
Part 1 – Last-minute changes
Sudden changes to a planned event, schedule, etc., can be referred to as “last-minute changes.” As an adjective, the term is hyphenated (-). When used otherwise, it isn’t hyphenated. Look at the examples.
Part 2 – Back-to-back / In a row
The same situation or problem can occur one time after another. The phrases “back-to-back” and “in a row” can be used to describe these situations:
Part 3 – Informing people of changes
Formal business language is not used in all business conversations. Nevertheless, there are different ways to inform people of changes using either business informal or formal language.
Part 4 – What would you say?
You are writing an email to your boss to let them know about changes that have been made to their business trip. Using the language introduced today, change the casual tone of the email to a formal one.
