Lesson 54

 

And Im Jenny Silver.

Welcome to Business English for Global Competence.

 

Yes. Let's learn how to communicate effectively in business.

 

Let's learn how to write emails in English together.

 

So, let's get started.

 

Okay! Let's take a look at Takashi's email.

 

This is turning out to be a long story. So he should just keep it short and sweet.

No need to paint a full picture. Otherwise it'll get confusing.

 

This is a bit too formal. It can make things a little confusing if your tone in emails doesn't match the general tone of your conversations.

 

 

Okay! Let's take a look at the Rewritten Email.

 

 

Now, let's take a look at Sylvia's Reply.

 

Generous/tolerant

 

 

It's important to consider and respect the culture of your audience. And it's also good to try to match the level of formality. I think Takashi was right to ask questions beforehand. Knowing your audience is one of the keys to a successful presentation.

 

 

See you next time. Bye!
