Write Better Emails in English & Avoid Common Mistakes
Lesson Summary:
Follow these 5 basic tips for clear, effective communication in English.
Plus, get my favorite way to make sure your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct!
?
TIP ONE:?Always use a greeting (and make sure it’s correct).
Using a greeting, like ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ is always polite and professional. It makes a positive first impression.
You always want to know WHO you’re writing to. For example, I get many emails that say, “Dear sir,” but I’m definitely not a sir. ??
?
TIP TWO:?Use the right level of formality.
If you’re too formal, your emails are cold and distant.
If you’re too informal too fast, you look unprofessional.
A good rule is to use the same level of formality your counterpart uses with you.
?
TIP THREE:?Make sure your grammar, punctuation, and spelling are correct.
My favorite tool for this is?Grammarly.com.
Plus it’s free!!
?
TIP FOUR:?Use a clear simple subject line.
There are two reasons for this:
It tells your reader what your email is about (and they are more likely to read it).
It will be easier to search for important information later.
Watch the video for a clear example.
?
TIP FIVE:?Keep your emails short.
Everyone is busy. Long sentences and long paragraphs are difficult to read.
Focus on the key point. And, when necessary, use bullet points.
In the video I share a simple example.
Now that you’ve watched the video, I have a challenge question for you. I want your advice.
I want to know what is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received for writing professional emails.
It’s very possible that someone in the Confident English community is stressing out about what to write in an email today and you might have the perfect piece of advice. So I would love to hear what that is.
You can share your advice with me in the comments at the end of this lesson.
