How to use the Business English Practice Tool.
Business English practice should match a real workplace exchange. Focus feedback on clarity, politeness and the intended action, and avoid assuming one communication style suits every organization.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Choose a workplace situation, relationship and intended action, then model a short exchange. Ask the learner to adapt it and give feedback on clarity, tone and grammar separately. Avoid treating one level of formality as correct in every organization.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
How can a request sound polite without becoming vague?
State the needed action and relevant context directly, using a tone suited to the relationship.
Why does a formally correct sentence feel unnatural to colleagues?
It may be too elaborate for the workplace or channel. Compare a concise version while preserving respect and clarity.
