A: You know our company is thinking of setting up a suggestion scheme now. (题目的前一半)
B: Yeah, just to encourage members of staff at all levels to put forward some ideas and suggestions. (题目的后一半)Not a bad idea, I must say. (补充性发言)
A: So how can we set up the scheme so that all staff members will feel free to contribute? (第一个圆点后的问题,以问句形式提出)
B: Well, we should definitely make sure that the scheme is open to everyone, regardless of hierarchy in the corporate ladder. (观点1)
A: You mean the scheme should cover everyone from top management to entry-level new staff members, right? (反诘澄清,非实质性发言)
B: You got it. It’s difficult to imagine a scheme like this will be useful without significant input from ordinary folks. (观点1发展句)
A: That’s how I feel too. (呼应) I also believe that we should employ a variety of means in conducting the scheme, say, questionnaires, email communication, and…(观点2,兼发展句)
B: and things like a suggestion box. (打断,观点2发展句)
A: Cool idea. (呼应) But all suggestions should be made on an anonymous basis. (观点3)You know people may have certain concerns. (观点3发展句)
B: Yes, I think you are quite right.(呼应) Anonymity should be guaranteed to dispel any hesitation folks may have. (观点3发展句)Oh, well, when it comes to that, I believe the suggestion scheme ought not to take up too much time either. (观点4)Otherwise…

B: Yeah. (呼应)And a token reward won’t be such a bad idea either. (观点5)How would you say? (反问)
A: Sure. (呼应) Sooo, that’s all quite good, but when we have actually gotten truckloads of suggestions, how can we evaluate them? (第二个圆点后的问题,以半陈述半问句形式提出)
B: Well, mmm, the one tool you can certainly use is to assess the suggestions democratically. (观点1)
A: I don’t quite get it. What do you mean? (反问)
B: I mean you can see what kind of suggestions makes the greatest showing and then decide. (观点1发展句)
A: That’s worth thinking about. (半同意)But wouldn’t it be better to put all the suggestions to vote by all the staff members, or to take them up for discussion? (观点2)
B: That’s certainly much more open and transparent. (观点2发展句) I will go along with you on that. (呼应)
A: Well, I’ve just hit upon another good idea. (引出发言)We should make comparisons between the suggestions collected and our current practice, and see if anything we’re doing now can be perfected. (观点3)
B: That’s a good point. (呼应)Popularity itself will of course not be sufficient to guarantee the adoption of any suggestion. (观点3发展句)We really have to look at its utility and potential, in such areas as…(观点4)
A: Cost reduction, say. (观点4发展句)
B: Correct. Profit maximization, too. (观点4发展句)
A: I’m with you on that. So, to recap, we should not only judge the suggestions by its popularity or number of votes, but also look into their use.
