Features: This chapter is divided into seven sections, each detailing a specific writing style or type of email. For example, Sections 1 and 7 teach the opening and closing of emails. Sections 3 to 5 cover three common email types—request letters, meeting letters, and problem-solving letters. Section 6 focuses on the response procedures and writing of emails, emphasizing information exchange and efficient business communication. Each section consists of three subsections. Sections 2 and 3 explain set-phrases, while Section 3 is titled "Consolidation and Improvement," focusing on chunks or word partnerships, which are common challenges for native Chinese speakers when writing in English. You will find that "Consolidation and Improvement" is helpful for email writing or enhancing your English skills. However, if you are short on time, you can skip Section 3, but it is recommended that you revisit it when you have more time. Additionally, each section includes multiple email examples to give you more exposure to high-quality samples. The email examples in this book are not accompanied by complete Chinese translations. This is because the format of Chinese emails differs significantly from that of English emails. However, to aid understanding, the book provides Chinese summaries. In addition to the vocabulary provided in each chapter, the appendix at the end of the book compiles all the vocabulary into a reference tool for writing emails.
