Features: Business Correspondence (Revised Edition) was commissioned by the College of Continuing Education of the University of International Business and Economics. It is based on the widely adopted "International Business English Broadcasting Course Textbook for Higher Business and Economics Colleges: Business Correspondence," combined with years of teaching practice, reference to a large amount of relevant materials, and tailored to teaching requirements. This revised edition is rich in information, offers extensive exercises, and is highly practical. The book consists of 36 lessons, divided into two parts: the main part includes lessons, annotations, and exercises, while the supplementary part provides reference translations of lessons and answers to exercises for self-study. The lessons are organized around business processes, and the correspondence related to each process aims to cover essential basic knowledge while being typical, easy to understand, learn, and apply. The exercises also include content closely related to the lessons but with greater difficulty, such as writing correspondence, translating contracts and letters of credit, etc. The purpose is to broaden knowledge while cultivating and improving practical skills in reading, translation, and writing. If needed, some exercise content can also serve as supplementary material. To write effective business correspondence, both language proficiency and relevant business knowledge are required. During revision, annotations in some lessons were appropriately added to provide related business knowledge to support teaching. The textbook includes three sets of self-assessment tests, which are expected to be effectively utilized.
