hi my name is rebecca from ingrid com
in today's lesson i'm going to show you how to end a conversation
now many people know how to start a conversation but it's not always clear
exactly how you can end a conversation politely
so i'm going to show you a three step technique that you can use any time you
need to leave or end a conversation with someone so let's have a look at the
board
basically what you want to do is something like this
you want to give a reason you want to refer to the future and then you want to
say goodbye
so you could combine something from here here and here
let's try it out you could say oh look at the time
i'm afraid i have another appointment let's get together soon okay bye for now
take care so something from hear something from hear something from here
of course a person might say something between but even if you're saying these
three things
it's a very polite way to exit the conversation
another way that you can use which we often use to be polite to the other
person is rather than indicating that you are in a hurry to go
you turn around and you say to them well I won't keep you any longer
you're probably busy or I let you go
something like that you could then add something from here
let's do lunch sometime or I'll give you a call next week and all right
see you bye for now something like that
a little more formal situation
let's say you've been to a meeting or a cocktail party or something like that
could say it's been a pleasure talking to you are in a business situation right
it's been a pleasure talking to you it's been a pleasure meeting you
I'll call you next week or may I call you next week if you want to
all right here you might skip this part because if it's a very formal situation
you might not be the one who calls them you might say something like I look
forward to hearing from you
if that's relevant or you could just say it's been a pleasure talking to you
thank you very much because in a formal situation that might be enough
so by following this simple three-step rule you can exit any conversation in a
polite way if you'd like to do a little quiz on this please go to our website
