关于Conference的意思和用法的提问

A: Businesses and other organizations will often hold conferences at hotels or resorts.

An "executive suite" is one of the best and most expensive rooms offered by a hotel.

So, the speaker is saying that the guest can get a better room for cheap because they are with the conference being hosted at the hotel.

A: I'm worried that my son can't focus on what people are saying. It's just the age he's at, right?

A: Perfect :)

A: Empowerment means...the giving of permissions, ability, enabling or authorization.

An empowerment conference is about getting a group of people together and making them believe they have the right / authority to make decisions, take initiative, affect change, or control the outcome of their lives. In some cases it's an attempt to make people realize the right or authority was already theirs and didn't need to be given to them. There are different types of these conferences for women, men, minorities, children, religion, citizens/voters, and employees.

A: It was an incredible conference. I should disseminate the information about those products within the company.

That is more natural, but we usually don't use such highfalutin words in daily conversation. If you did, people might think that you are showing off. However, this would be perfect in a business trip report!

A: Hey mono! Two days in a row, way to go!

This is almost perfect! Close!

1. Like brian said, I would change the "the" to "a". "The" makes it sound like the official you are talking to should know what conference you are talking about.

Pronunciation: Your individual pronunciation of words is great. Nicely done! But make sure you're adding an "r" pronunciation at the end of "for".

Awesome job! I'll post a voice example next.
