Encircle the best answer in the following questions.1. c 2. d 3. b 4. dLesson 3 . Comprehension questions.1. In order to achieve Completeness in a business letter, what kind of questions can you ask?If you want to achieve completeness of the information in a business letter, you may ask yourself whether you have stated clearly about the questions like “who, what, where, when, why and how” . These questions may be of great help to achieve completeness.2. Why do we say “Consideration” is a very important principle?Consideration is a very important principle because only when you consider your partner in your mind and write the letter by respecting your cooperative partner, sharing your readers point of view, keeping the readers needs in your mind, and achieving the balance of interests of both parties, can you make the communication go smoothly.3. In order to achieve Clarity, what kind of statements and expressions should you avoid?In order to achieve Clarity, the following two statements and expressions should be avoided. First, ambiguous words or rarely used words are forbidden. Second, words which may contain different meanings on their own should be avoided.4. Is it harmful to write a general and vague letter? Why? Yes, a general and vague letter is not sufficient to express the senders ideas because it is not informative. Thus, specific, definite and vivid words are preferred to show the concreteness to express the senders ideas.5. Does courtesy mean politeness? What is the difference between them? No, even though both courtesy and politeness mean no offensive and irritating statements or facts in the letter, courtesy is not mere politeness. Politeness means that you should show your regard for others in the letter, etc. But in order to achieve courtesy, you should always bear a You-attitude in your mind which means you should always stand in the cooperators position and think from their stands. 6. What strategies can you use to achieve “conciseness” in a business letter?There are two possible ways we have to follow during the process of our writing. First, make a long sentence or phrase short and avoid using too wordy expressions. Second, avoid repetition.7. What aspects should be correct in a business letter? And how would you guarantee that every aspect is correct?On one hand, from the perspective of writing, a business letter should be perfect in grammar, punctuation, spelling of words, and a business letter should also use standard language, proper statements and accurate figures.On the other hand, from the perspective of business, the following points can guarantee that every aspect is correct：a. make sure that no grammar mistakes occur in business writing;b. choose only accurate and correct facts, words and figures;c. take a matter-of-fact attitude when you are talking about everything in the letter；never overstate or understate;d. use correct commercial terms;e. remember the circumstances when capital letters are used in business writing, and use them properly.II. Rewrite the following sentences to make them in a correct and polite way.1. For the discount mentioned in the letter of April 5, we feel very sorry to say that we cant cut our price because we have to guarantee the good quality and the best pattern and in fact, we have offered you the most favorable price.2.
