Notably interactive, these materials introduce vocabulary that is fundamental to business and provide useful and relevant dialogues and exercises to practice that vocabulary and the linguistic-cultural conventions for using that vocabulary in business situations. The authors have been imaginative and thoughtful in the situations which they have selected for the bases of the dialogues and accompanying exercises. They have been comprehensive in including practice with typical forms that business people must fill out during the course of their working day. The fortunate students who study this book have before them the happy prospect of having a significant jump ahead of their predecessors when they arrive in China and begin to get to work.
