英文口說練習指南

英文進度報告：三個重點，讓對方接得上。

進度報告不是把本週做過的事全部念一遍。先挑出與這次會議有關的成果、目前狀態和需要決定的事，讓對方知道是否需要採取行動。

1. 已完成：說出具體產出

比起 “I worked on the report”，說出報告到了哪個階段更清楚。若工作仍未完成，不要只為了套句型就使用 completed。

We have completed the first round of testing.

The draft is ready for review.

用現在進行式描述正在處理的事，再補一句剩下的工作或阻礙。與其只說 “It is almost done”，不如具體指出還需要確認什麼。

We are checking the failure cases.

The layout is ready, but we are still waiting for the final copy.

“Please help” 沒有說明需要哪一種協助。指出要確認的內容、需要誰的意見，以及相關期限；期限尚未談定時，用問句協調。

Could you confirm whether the first version needs a reporting feature?

Would you be able to review the draft before our next meeting?

以下兩段都是假設情境。第一段說明目前進度；第二段先交代阻礙，再提出可討論的下一步。

We have completed the first test. We are now checking the failure cases. Could you help us confirm the requirements for the next round?

The draft is ready, but we cannot finalize it until the scope is confirmed. Could we review the open questions in today’s meeting?

再加一個追問：“What might delay the next step?” 練習用一句話回答風險，接著說明你會怎麼處理。
