Features: This chapter is divided into seven sections, each providing detailed instruction on a specific style or type of email. For example, Sections 1 and 7 focus on the opening and closing of emails. Sections 3 to 5 teach three common types of emails—request letters, meeting arrangement emails, and problem-solving emails. Section 6 covers the process and writing of reply emails, emphasizing information exchange and efficient business communication. Each section consists of three subsections. Sections 1 and 2 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 using 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 full Chinese translations. This is because the format of Chinese emails differs significantly from that of English emails. However, to aid comprehension, 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.
