Features: This book can be used to supplement the content not covered in the same series "English for International Conferences." It includes English expressions for dealing with foreigners in negotiations or meetings, along with examples of how to respond in various situations, hoping to be as well-received by readers as the previous book. Many people learn English through audio tapes, radios, or television, but the knowledge they acquire cannot be applied in real-life situations because the words and phrases they learn are often unsuitable for formal settings. However, in general, people have a misconception that what they learn from media is true knowledge. Many people spend a lot of time and effort learning English but still cannot speak it, because they lack understanding of real-world contexts. To address this, this book avoids merely mentioning words and phrases, instead listing English expressions used in actual international communication scenarios. Typically, two to three examples are provided for each point, but readers can also use individual sentences as needed.
