例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings
读
每天都应坚持读。
1、 朗读：一般文章读2~3遍，带着理解去读，而不只是为读而读。
2、 背诵：好的文章应背熟，以记住好词好句，同时培养自己的语感。
3、 速读：文章第一遍用最快的速度读完，以提高阅读速度和理解能力，并逐渐培养不翻译直接理解英文的能力。
4、 精读：文章第二遍应精读，以达到对文章的准确理解，并熟悉语法结构，加深单词记忆。也可选择部分文章速读，对于较好的文章精读。
5、 泛读：每天看1小时左右的英文报纸，在有兴趣的基础上阅读能力会有很大提高。遇到不会的单词在不影响文章理解的情况下可以略过去，从而提高自己的阅读速度。如果想记忆单词，则可查词典，多次查阅记忆便能记住单词。(坚持一两个月就会有明显效果)
听
1、从最初级的听力入手，听懂每个单词、每句话、每段话及每篇文章。逐步增加难度。每天至少半小时。
2、跟读英语，一方面加强听力，一方面训练口语，同时还能培养语感。注意发音的准确性。
写
1、 每两天写一篇英文日记或作文。
2、 用英语写商务英语书信。
商务英语书信注意事项：
(1)切忌主客不分或模糊。
例子： Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.
应改为 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment. (We决定呀, 不是report.)
(2)句子不要零碎。
例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance.
两个句子应该连在一起：He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.
(3)结构对称,令人容易理解。
例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.
应改为: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.
(4)单复数不要搞乱，不然会好刺眼，看着不舒服。
例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.应改为 Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.
(5)动词和主语要呼应。
想想这两个句子的分别: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.
(6)时态和语气不要转换太多。看商务英语已经是苦事，不要浪费人家的精力啊。
(7)标点要准确。例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. 应改为: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.
(8)选词正确。像affect和effect，operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦。
(9)拼字正确。有电脑拼字检查功能后，就更加不能偷懒。
(10)大小写要注意。除非必要不要整个词都大写，除非要骂人。
例如: MUST change to OS immediately. 外国人就觉得不礼貌和喝令人一样。要强调的话，用底线，斜字，粗体就可以了。
