Unit 1 written business communication
1. Read the text:
In spite of the great advances made in the field of communication the letter remains one of the most effective ways of conveying information from one person to another.
The critical importance of the letter is its impact on the receiver. We are dealing with customers or members of the public without whose support the business would fail and our jobs disappear. Of course this is true of all our contacts with the public but the letter is difficult to retract or to deny, and these features mean that we need to be particularly careful and precise when we compose letters.
The most important quality to cultivate for writing letters is empathy. Empathy requires you to ‘stand in the shoes’ of the recipient. How would you react to this letter if it was addressed to you? The other guidelines which you will need to bear in mind are:
Reply to letters as promptly as possible. Time is sometimes of the essence.
Keep the language as simple as possible particularly when you are writing to a non-expert. At the same time do not go too far in that direction so that the recipient feels he or she is being treated as an idiot.
Avoid irrelevancy and triviality.
Use only as many words as you really need.
Check the letter carefully before it is signed and leaves the office.
Avoid making promises you cannot keep.
Avoid attacking other people or firms particularly by name. Your letter must be produced in court when you are charged with damaging a person’s reputation.
Be careful you are not committing your organization to an unwanted course of action.
Deal with all the points raised in an incoming letter.
Notes to the text:
to convey - передавать - відбивати
to retract - отменять - скасовувати, відміняти
empathy - сопереживание - співчуття
recipient - получатель - адресат, одержувач
2.Answer the questions. Give your reasons :
What makes letters one of the most effective ways of conveying information ?
Can we avoid writing letters? Why?
What is meant by ‘empathy’?
What must one bear in mind while writing a letter?
Which of these guidelines is the most important one? Why?
3. Read the text:
Decide what your purpose for writing is, and write to achieve that purpose. Do you want to provide information? What information do you want to provide? Do you want to persuade? What do you want the reader to do? Is your major purpose to get your reader to act?
Good news and routine messages call for direct - deductive plan for structuring ideas. This is the method where the sender starts with the main idea and follows with the details and explanations. The sender closes the letter with a positive, forward-looking statement.
Communicating bad news requires writers to take different approach to planning and writing their message.
In some situations, the writer simply has to convey some kind of bad news to the reader. In others, the writer can also offer the reader various alternatives to what he or she originally wanted.
Bad news messages call for an indirect - inductive ideas. This structure allows a writer both to convey the message and to maintain goodwill with the reader. If writers first clearly explain the reasons for the bad news, readers will more likely understand and accept these messages with less negative emotion. This plan allows for that result:
Begin with a neutral statement.
Offer the explanation – the facts behind the bad news.
Present the bad news.
Present alternatives, if possible.
Close with a positive, off-the-bad-news ending.
Notes to the text:
to persuade - убеждать - переконувати
deductive - дедуктивный - дедуктивний
inductive - индуктивный - індуктивний
forward-looking - дальновидный - передбачливий
goodwill - расположение - прихільність
off-the-bad-news - не относящийся - не стосуватися
