用英文和主管溝通時，把握3個原則，要有禮貌、訊息要明確、溝通有效率
1.詢問可能性 (Would…..)
EX: Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 這個星期五，我是否可以休一天假？
請休假用take the day off。
Would是一種禮貌的用法，如果是兩天以上就用days off。老闆爽快答應就會說that'll be OK，有些遲疑就會說”Will everything be all right?”（一切都安排就緒了嗎？）。
I think在這裡有緩衝作用，隨後可說明our printer has broken down again.（印表機又出毛病了）。
客氣一些，用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new printer.
這是最明確的回應，也可用I understand（我明白了），或Yes, right away（好的馬上去做）。對主管說OK，或 all right並不恰當，說of course更不禮貌。很忙沒有辦法執行任務，可以說I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?
記住I have a feeling (that)...（我覺得……），及……（that ) he was against the plan.(他反對那個計畫）這兩句話都很管用。
2.提出建議 (I think/would suggest)
EX: I think we need to buy a new printer. 我想我們需要買一台新的印表機。
EX: I think we need to buy a new printer. 我想我們需要買一台新的印表機。
I think在這裡有緩衝作用，隨後可說明our printer has broken down again.（印表機又出毛病了）。
客氣一些，用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new printer.
3.瞭解任務 (Yes, certainly.)
EX: Yes, certainly.是，我知道了
EX: Yes, certainly.是，我知道了
這是最明確的回應，也可用I understand（我明白了），或Yes, right away（好的馬上去做）。對主管說OK，或 all right並不恰當，說of course更不禮貌。很忙沒有辦法執行任務，可以說I'm sorry, but I'm busy now. Could I do it later?
4.確認事項 (didn’t you?)
EX: You did say next Wednesday at 3:00 P.M., didn't you? 您是說在下星期二下午三點，是不是？
EX: You did say next Wednesday at 3:00 P.M., didn't you? 您是說在下星期二下午三點，是不是？
中文少見＂附加問句＂，但英文常常用附加問句，一來更委婉，二來是讓方加入你的談話中。
做事要確認，對外國老闆更是如此。直接一點，可以說let me confirm the schedule. （讓我確認一下時間）

5.報告結果 (I have the feeling that….)
EX: I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan. 我覺得他贊成那個計畫
EX: I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan. 我覺得他贊成那個計畫
記住I have a feeling (that)...（我覺得……），及……（that ) he was against the plan.(他反對那個計畫）這兩句話都很管用。
