[ 2007-06-14 11:27 ]

今天我們來學(xué)習(xí)禮貌守則的最后一個(gè)P——professional

 

Being Courteous: How To Be Professional 

 

So far, you've learned three ways to make your writing more courteous. You've learned how to make your sentences polite, positive and personal. You also need to learn how to use the fourth "P" to make your writing professional.

 

Did you know that modern business English includes many standard expressions?

 

Many phrases in English are standard. That is, they don't change. If you know these phrases, you can use them again and again.

 

And when you use these standard expressions, your writing will look more professional.

 

However, you need to use these expressions correctly, or your writing will look very unprofessional. Look at this sentence.

 

"I am appreciate if you send me the documents."

 

The person who wrote this sentence tried to use a standard expression. However, they didn't use it correctly.

 

It should be:

 

"I would appreciate it if you could send me the documents."

 

You can use the table below to learn some of the standard expressions in English business correspondence.
