●（有關聯性）I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday. Based on your advice, I have revised the proposal.（很感謝昨日有機會與您談話。根據你的建議，我們做了一些修改。）
4.聽者導向，不要說者導向
很多人一開頭寫英文就是I、We或是my、our，感覺太本位，把I和We頭始的句子，改成you就對了。
●（說者導向）We know you’ll enjoy the many benefits of our new health care plan.
●（聽者導向）Your new health care plan will benefit you in many ways.（新的健保方案會帶給你很大幫助。）
5. 不要重複數字
數字出現在句首、或數字小於10，拼出來。數字大於10，用阿拉伯數字。但有人習慣既拼字又用阿拉伯數字，顯得冗贅，不需如此。
●（差）Thirteen (13) samples were collected. →不要重複數字。
●（好）We collected 13 samples.
●（差）There are approximately six hundred people working in this company.→超過10的數字用阿拉伯數字表現。
●（好）There are approximately 600 people working in this company.
●（差）500 people will show up in the conference. →句首的數字拼出來。
●（好）Five hundred people will show up in the conference.
