Hi, everybody.

Thanks very much for joining us.

I'm going to start in maybe one or two minutes.

So if you're just joining, please make sure to like this video and share this video so others can find today's lesson hairs in my face today A lot.

I'm going to share the lesson, and then I'm going to get started, eh?

So I have broken today's lesson in two parts?

Yes, as usual.

But for this lesson, I'm going to talk about each part of an email each part of, like, a typical email in English, eh?

So we can talk about the vocabulary and some expressions that you can use in each of these parts, So let us begin.

Okay.

Good.

I see there are many people there now.

Fantastic.

Already.

So let's start then.

I've numbered each of the parts of this email so you can kind of see which part I'm talking about.

So I want to start with some vocabulary and some expressions from this part.

So right up here, where you choose who to send your email, too, on some other points about this part here.

Vocabulary points to start.

So Let's first talk about this section of an email and a couple of interesting words you can use so email vocabulary and expressions like for sending and receiving.

First, I want to talk about these two things that you see at the top of your email, where you choose who to send it to.

I want to talk about C C and B C C c c N B C c.

So I think many of you know how to use C.

C and D.

C.

C.

Yes, of course, if you don't know CC means carbon copy.

So a carbon copy means a duplicate email.

So that means you are sending a copy of the email of that email to the main person for the main group, and then you send a copy of that email to someone else.

So maybe they're not like the main person that you want to send it to, but it's important they see the e mail.

So the reason I included this here is because I want to talk about how we use this cc in sentences so we use C.

C as a verb to see see someone.

So, uh, for example, please.

Cc me on project update E mails or Sorry, I forgot to CCU on that email.

So we use C c as a verb.

Um, and also you'll notice this on.

We'll use cc someone on an email.

We use the proposition on when we use this cc as a verb.

So please keep this in mind.

We can do the same thing then with B c c c c c If you don't know BCC Ah, BCC means blind carbon copy Blind carbon copy.

So that means it's a duplicate email.

It's a copy of the email.

Uh, but all of the recipients are secret.

So that means if I send like, a B c c e mail to all of you.

Uh, that means you can see the e mail, but you can't see the other people I sent it to with a simple carbon copy.

You can see everybody.

So we use BCC as a verb as well.

So, for example, are sorry there's a couple different ways to use this.

The first example is this.

Send the contest results toe everyone via or via BCC.

So that means through B C.

C.

So please use BCC to send this as a verb, as I talked about with C C IBC Seed.

This is past tense just at E.

D.

So treat it like a regular vert IBC Seed.

The whole team on that email so we can use both of these as verbs.

And again, we use on to BCC someone on something or to see See someone on something.

So please keep this in mind.

Okay, so that's the first part here about, like choosing who you want to send your email to.

I want to move now.

Thio Parts two and three.

First part to hear this part of the email is your greeting.

So how do you greet someone in an email with the best way to do it?

If you don't know the person you're sending it to, uh, if they are above you, if you're in a business situation, if it's a polite situation, just use Dear dear plus Mr Miss or Mrs Surname.

So surname means your last name or your family name.

So use just Dear Mr Smith or Dear Miss Smith.

Dear Mrs Smith.

If that person has a title, an official title, for example, professor or vice president or doctor or something like that.

If they have a title and you know about the title, use their title plus the surname.

So like dear Professor uh Smith or Dear Vice President Smith or Dear Dr Smith.

So if they have a title, it's good to use that title.

If you're not sure, just stick with dear mister or miss or missus, so try to use their title if you know it.

And if you're not sure if you think they might have a title, just Google them.

See if there's some title you can use.

Please, no, we don't use uh, we don't use teacher.

So, like, if you wanted to email me if you have my email address and you wanted to email me, you would not write Dear teacher Alicia, it wouldn't make any sense.

You could just say dear Alicia So and are like with students.

I tried to keep it casual, so I tell people to use my first name.

You might encounter that you might meet people like that to who say, Please use my first name.

In that case, you can use dear their first name for this pattern, like hello or hi plus first name.

So this is a pattern I use with my co workers with the people who are in my office with me.

So, like, dear Reza or whatever or higher Isa.

Hello, Resa.

Someone that I'm close to reset your watching someone that I'm close.

D'oh.

I just use first names.

If you use someone's last name, it's gonna sound a little too formal, Uh, in many cases.

So please keep in mind.

This is for English e mails.

If I always use, uh, maybe a last name someone's last name in my English e mails to someone.

It sounds like there is distance.

I know in other cultures, it's very common to use last names, but we use first names, typically in English.

Ok, any questions in there?

Ah, cannot Do not see any questions?

Um, no.

Okay, So continuing on, I've included here in parentheses.

Hey.

Hey.

First name you can use.

Hey, First name very casually like we use hate.

So and so in our office communication, we don't use this.

Uh, sorry.

Let me backtrack.

Uh, we use in addition to email, we also use, like software to communicate instantly like instant message software kind of stuff, eh?

So in those cases, we also use casual greetings inside our office that kay person are Hello, person.

So again, use these with people.

You are kind of close to use these to sound more polite if there's distance.

If you're not sure, go with dear.

That's usually the best one to use.

Hokey dokey.

That's all right.

I don't see any questions.

So let's continue on to part three.

Part three.

Is this part of an English email?

So after you've sent your greeting, your dear person, whatever.

After you've done that, the next part is this part, this kind of group of sentences.

A few sentences, maybe like three year.

For this is your introduction, your introduction to your email.

So start with something friendly.

Hi.

Uh, I hope you're doing well.

Or if you know the person.

I hope you're enjoying this weather.

Some kind of friendly introduction I like to use.

I hope you're doing well, I hope.

Or I hope you are.

Well, something like that.

Eso start with a friendly sentence.

That's your first start.

Hope you're doing well and then answer this question.

Who are you Who are you?

So this person needs to know who you are.

So if you're like a student, say hi.

My name is Alicia.

I'm a student in your Tuesday economics class or something.

Or high.

I am from the sales department in the company.

My name is so and so who are you?

Identify yourself, then.

What's your connection to the recipient?

So if you don't answer this here, you need to establish it here.

So if, for example, you're emailing somebody, that's like you're trying to make a new business connection and they don't know who you are.

You should probably explain how you found their email or how you found their contact information.

So if you found them on like a block, you can say I found your blogger online as I was researching, or I found you in this magazine article.

So what is your connection to the recipient?

What is your connection to the person you are e mailing forth?

What is the purpose of your email?

Why are you e mailing this person?

So I'm writing to you too.

I'm writing to you to sew my favorite, I guess.

Way to phrase.

This is I'm writing to ask if I'm making a request like I'm writing to ask if you would be interested and participating in my interview, Siri's.

Or I'm writing to ask if you would be interested in attending this event.

So I'm writing to ask.

What I'm writing to ask is a good one to use if you have a request for someone.

Uh, so please, uh, consider these four points when you're preparing your introduction, Uh, I will see if I can sooner questions?

Uh, yeah.

What is the purpose of your email?

Yes.

So this means please answer this question.

Answered this question.

What is the purpose of your email?

So I'm writing to you to ask or I'm writing to you, because so give the person some idea of why you're connecting with them.

All right?

Some people are sending their emails.

Maybe don't put your email.

I guess in the chat everybody you might get it might get picked up from something suspicious.

Okay.

Um, well, there's very long comment, office documents, any new ways to high office documents.
