Business English: A Practice Book

Practical instruction presents English usage and composition tailored to commercial contexts, beginning with word study, pronunciation, spelling, and grammar to strengthen correctness and clarity. It then treats oral and written composition—choosing subjects, punctuation, sentence and paragraph construction, and business letters—with attention to spoken language and dictation. The final section analyzes common business situations and provides inductive, real-world exercises for manufacture, distribution, advertising, real estate, insurance, banking, and corporate correspondence. Emphasis falls on clear expression, persuasive tone, and plentiful practice problems designed to develop habits of precise, courteous, and effective communication in everyday commercial transactions.
