Features: In today's society, the development of science and technology is advancing at an incredible pace, with seminars and press releases becoming commonplace, often conducted in English. Scientific and technical English vocabulary and expressions frequently appear in fields such as economics, law, education, and linguistics. In the past, many people were only interested in their own professional matters and were familiar only with the English vocabulary and expressions of their field. With the continuous progress of science and technology, they now often find it very inconvenient, especially in important situations where they struggle to communicate and interact smoothly in English. This feeling is particularly pronounced when attending international conferences. This book is written to help readers solve the above problems. It is compiled and translated by Professor J.C. Massey and D.W. Stevenson of the University of Michigan, a leading authority on Technical Communication in the United States, who have appropriately annotated examples of English communication norms in international conferences. The book is translated and organized by Yoshitake Yoshitake. It provides a detailed list of common English expressions used in international conferences, such as greetings, asking questions, and remarks by conference hosts. From the arrangement, it can be seen that the book not only collects English idioms but also provides typical examples for various situations, specifically addressing the "on-the-spot situations" that people find difficult to learn. This book is not only suitable for readers attending international conferences but also for adults or students who enjoy communicating in English.
