Ericsson executive Talar du Svenska and he may well reply Yes But only at home At work I speak English Ericsson is one of a growing number of European companies that use English as their official corporate language These companies recognize and at the same time increase the dominance of English as the language of international communication Soon the number of speakers of English as a second language will exceed that of native English speakers Although a company might use English as its official language its employees are unlikely to be bilingual Language trainer Jacquie Reid thinks we consistently overestimate the fluency of nonnative speakers We always assume that because their language skills are better than ours they understand everything we say So how should we adapt our use of language and what are the common problems Simplify it is Reid s advice Don t over complicate the message Reduce what you re saying to manageable chunks Reid always tells people to limit themselves to one idea per sentence It s also important to slow down and not raise your voice Dr Jasmine Patel a language consultant at Europhone says different languages also have their own approach to dialogue The British start with idiomatic expression such as So 国际商务英语等级考试 中级 试卷 第 9 页 共 14 页 should we get down to it And understate important issues with phrases such as There could be a slight problem They also say That s a good idea but when they mean No and they repeatedly use the word get with different meanings And worst of all they insist on using humour which is so culture specific that no one understand it The majority of English native speakers are insensitive to the stress of trying to understand a foreign language in a work environment because they rely on the business world speaking their language At Ericsson however this is not the case At the UK subsidiary Ericsson Telecommunications management training courses include seminars on both language and cross cultural issues A frequent comment made in follow up evaluations is that increased awareness has improved communication and more importantly given participants a better understanding of their own language and how others might interpret it 6 Why does Ericsson use English as its official language A Because English is spoken the majority of people in the world B Because English is the native language of British people C Because English is the dominant language of international communication D Because English is a useful tool in the business world 7 Which of the following ways may not help native English speakers to communicate more effectively A To make their message simple B To keep one idea per sentence C To speak more slowly D To use vogue terms when speaking 8 Native English speakers are not aware of the difficulties of listening to foreign language as A English is preferred by all people at work B English is the most useful language C English is spoken in their work environment D they take pride in speaking English at work 9 Ericsson makes its employees more aware of the difficulties of listening to 国际商务英语等级考试 中级 试卷 第 10 页 共 14 页 foreign language through A teaching its employees foreign languages B sending its employees overseas to learn foreign languages C more exchanges with overseas companies D language and cultural awareness seminars 10 The word approach in the second
