避免常见错误
-
语法与拼写
- 使用工具如Grammarly检查基础错误,但勿过度依赖。
- 注意时态一致性,如过去事件用过去式(I attended the conference)。
-
文化差异
- 西方邮件偏向直接,但需保持礼貌,避免中式表达:“I’m sorry to disturb you”(改为“I appreciate your help”)。
- 慎用幽默或缩写(如“ASAP”),除非熟悉对方风格。
-
附件与链接
- 提及附件时明确标注:Please find the report attached.
- 超链接嵌入文字中:Download the guidelines [here].
提升专业度的细节

- 响应时间:工作邮件尽量24小时内回复,非紧急事务可注明:I’ll revert by Friday.
- 跟进技巧:若未收到回复,一周后发送简短提醒:Just checking if you had a chance to review my previous email.
