5. Business-oriented
I need someone who
will listen to and
correct my speech.
My low command of
English spoils a
presentation that I’ve
prepared very well
The negotiations
will be in English
I’d like to feel more
comfortable and
confident when
writing mails.
I have to take my
American clients to
dinner and I’d like to be
able to talk to them
easily.
I lack vocabulary to
express myself with
absolute confidence
and assurance.
Useful and Effective
It would be helpful to prepare
and make this journey with
someone who can assist me in
everything related to
communication in English, and
who understands business terms.
I need more
fluency when I
speak by phone
I’d like to
understand the
user’s guide of the
new machine.
I hope that an
ignorance of cross-
cultural issues does not
reduce our opportunities
