This book can complement the content not covered in the same series, International Conference English. It includes English expressions for dealing with foreigners in negotiations or meetings, along with examples of how to handle various situations, hoping to be as well-received by readers as the previous book.
Many people learn English through tapes, radios, or television, but they struggle to apply what they've learned in real-life settings because the vocabulary and phrases they acquire are often unsuitable for informal contexts. However, people generally have a misconception that what they learn from media is true knowledge.
Many spend a lot of time and effort studying English but still fail to speak it, mainly because they lack practical understanding. To address this, this book avoids merely listing words and phrases, instead providing actual English expressions used in international communication scenarios. Typically, two to three examples are included for each point, but readers can also use individual sentences as needed.
