English for Project Reviews: Scenario Dialogues
A project review is where engineers have to be at their clearest: progress, risks and trade-offs, plus defending the design under pressure. This deck covers 50 core words for review meetings in five themes: review process, progress and scope, risks and dependencies, data and evidence, and decisions and actions. Every word comes with a real example sentence, plus 25 sentence patterns for reporting and answering questions. There are 2 complete dialogues below. Each one is a full conversation, with a scene, two roles, sentence-by-sentence playback and role play.

β FAQ
How is a dialogue different from the sentence patterns?
Patterns are single sentences you can swap words into. A dialogue is a whole conversation with an opening, follow-up questions, a blocker and a wrap-up, so you practise taking turns and keeping pace.
How do I use role play?
Pick a role. Your own lines hide the English and keep the Chinese as a prompt: say it yourself first, then reveal the standard wording and compare.
Do I need to memorise the whole dialogue?
No. Remember one or two lines per stage, and focus on being able to answer as soon as the other person finishes.
