Eliz: Welcome once again to "Culture Tips" with Gary Engleton.
Today's question is, "Has English really become the international language for business?"
Gary: Well, that's a difficult question.
Eliz: Why is that?
Gary: In face-to-face business meetings, many different languages are used.
But for business writing, English is the most popular language.
Even if you can't speak English well, you need to be able to read it.
Eliz: Why do you think that's true?
Gary: One reason is an increase in exports.
Today, most large corporations export their products all over the world.
You have to include documentation with your products.
And it's not practical to translate this information into every language.
Eliz: So English has become standard.
Gary: Yes. In addition, businesses have become increasingly dependent on e-mail and the Internet.
And the dominant language of the Internet is English.
Finally, most of the important scientific and business journals are in English.
If you want to keep up in business, you need to read English.
Eliz: Thank you, Gary!
Gary: My pleasure!
