Business English

Challenge Give Me An Opportunity

Thinking back the idea before I began to learn Business English, it’s looks so infantile just like thought by a naive girl. I have never learned anything about Business English. All I know about it is that Business English is a popular subject. Because of the TV play I have ever seen, Business English is very interesting and cool in my mind. How children the idea is! I feel I am so fortunate that I can be chosen to study this subject.

Everything changed when I first go into the Business English class. It is sounds more normal and difficult than I thought. There are so many things we have to pay attention and remember. Even though we just learn to translate some sentences in the contract, it is difficult enough for us to grasp. I am afraid of it , but I have no choice but face it. I have to admit that I learn it just for the grade at the first time.

In order to get a good grade, I try to do everything I can to learn it well. This subject is different form others, because it’s not only a language subject but also a functional subject. What can I do? The only way I can think is taking notes. Actually, it’s a good choice. Everyone know that notes is a good resource when we try to go over the class. A new advantage of taking notes I found is the fact that it helps me focus on what the teacher say in the class while the troublesome Business English makes me puzzled and sleepy. Of course, more things we have to do if we want to be outstanding. Guided by teacher, I try to find some videos to watch. It’s easier to learn because of vivid show. I practice my hearing while I am learning to communicate with others in Business situation. It is no wonder I can only understand some words of the conversations, but now I can understand some conversations. 1

With the improvement, I love learning it gradually.

I have learned some about Business English, so I try to find the reason of why it is troublesome to us. I think the strongest enemy to us is the specialized words and some words which have to be translated into a unfamiliar meaning. Unfortunately, most of us know nearly nothing about Comercial Science, so we can translate it in a good way even we know every word in the sentence.

After one-term learn, I am sure Business English is a useful and important subject. No matter what specialized field you are major in, you have to work in a company and cooperation with others, and this will relate to Business while English is the language of political negotiations and international business. For reason given above, How to use Business English will be a prerequisite skill in the future. What make me happy is that I study not only the way of contract translation but also the religious thing model. The contract relates to the profit of two Parts, so the words and sentence in the contracts are normal and strict.

I have learned far away I expected, so I would like to keep on learning it, and try to learn more. Now, In my view, learning Business English is not just a challenge, it is an opportunity for me!
