How to improve Business English Skills?

How can I improve business letter writing skills as a business English major student?

• As a Chinese student, my skill in writing needs more efforts. Can you offer some suggestions for me? And, one and half months later, I am going to attend the BEC exam.

• Answer:

  Since you're short on time, have a look at those Pitman's typewriting workbooks used by secretarial students. They contain a good range of typical business correspondence formats and language for real-life settings. I myself qualified in Pitman's (back in the 1970s) and it was the key way that helped me in business correspondence over all other alternatives. Worth a shot for you, I think.
