All managers need written progress reports from their staff, but it is often necessary to make a verbalprogress report during a meeting. A verbal report can be thought of as a combination of a presentationand a question and answer session. 所有的經(jīng)理都要從日常的資料中寫(xiě)進(jìn)展報(bào)告,但是口頭的匯報(bào)也是必不可少的。一個(gè)口頭報(bào)告包括陳述和問(wèn)答環(huán)節(jié)。
When making a progress report, you' ll need to start with the overall status of the project, and then go on to explain how much of the work has been completed, at what stage the work is now, what remains to be done and, of course, what problems might have arisen. Because the format is "live", people may interrupt to ask questions or make comments and you should be sure of your facts when you go into the meeting. 當(dāng)寫(xiě)進(jìn)程報(bào)告的時(shí)候,你首先應(yīng)該寫(xiě)項(xiàng)目的整體狀態(tài);然后說(shuō)明一下工作完成了多少,工作已經(jīng)進(jìn)行到哪一步了,還有多少?zèng)]有完成;當(dāng)然還有可能產(chǎn)生的問(wèn)題。因?yàn)樾蝿?shì)是活潑的,人們可能會(huì)打斷問(wèn)些問(wèn)題,或者做出點(diǎn)評(píng),你需要做的就是當(dāng)你進(jìn)行報(bào)告的時(shí)候保證你所說(shuō)的是真實(shí)的。

They plan to move to a new head office and the renovation, or preparation, of their space is currently underway. Angela has visited the new office and spoken with the key people on-site.
