Chapter I Introduction
1.1. Background to the Study
If you know English, you can travel everywhere in the world. In fact, that is completely reasonable because there are over 300 million people speaking English as their first language, and the same people speak it as a second language. However, no one can know for sure how many people speak it as a foreign language. English is the language taught at lots of universities all over the world, the language of international communication, science, aviation. In particular, it is used as the language of international business.
Nowadays, due to the internationalization trend of the world economy, companies not only trade in their countries but also expand their commerce to other countries. In order to keep in touch with their partners, the best way is to write business letters. Actually, each country has its language, and English is the mother tongue in many countries. Therefore, they usually use English in their letters.
During the previous four years, my friends and I have had chances to study English thoroughly in terms of language practice (i.e. listening, speaking, etc.) as well as language theory (i.e. grammar, lexicology, discourse analysis and so on). I would say that English for Business is the subject we are interested in most since it teaches us some essential jobs such as writing memos, lists, reports, especially letters that are very helpful if we work for an import - export company in the future.
Nevertheless, writing a business letter in English well is not easy. Realizing the importance of business letters and the difficulties writers usually meet, I have decided to choose business letters for graduation paper whose title is some difficulties in translating business correspondence. When doing my research, I would try my best suggestions for the fourth-year students and younger students in order that they would be able to write an effective business letter at work.
