Lesson 1

Career Paths, the Importance of Business Communications, and New Vocabulary
Lesson Introduction
Introduction to Business Communications
Business Communications can be considered any form of correspondence or attemped correspondence between a company and any other person or entity. Business communications can exist on various levels. It can include communications amongst a certain company’s employees, or communications between a company and its clients, and it even includes communications between a business and other businesses that it interacts with. These businesses can include governmental agencies, suppliers, distributors, partners, etc. Business communications also entails all forms of communication from verbal, non-verbal, to interpersonal formats of communication.
The Importance of Business Communications
Learning how to communicate successfully in the business world can help to ensure a successful business. It is a stated fact that if a business is unable to communicate with its customers, employees, or other businesses then it is certain that the business will not survive for long in the marketplace. However, a business must not only be able to communicate. It must also be able to communicate clearly, accurately, and in a manner that conveys goodwill towards the audience whom is being addressed. Business communications is crucial and it is a subject that should not be taken lightly. Even a company with the finest product, the best employees, and the highest level of quality will ultimately fail if they are unable to communicate well with others.

The London Underground Railway system recently wanted to hire more women as train operators. The company placed an ad in a popular women’s magazine called, “Cosmopolitan”. Below is an article based upon The London Underground placing this job advertisement in the magazine. Read the article below and answer the questions that follow.



Magazine Article from the Daily Telegraph Newspaper by Paul Marston:

Cosmopolitan Readers Queue for Tube Job
More than 1,400 readers of Cosmopolitan have applied to become a London Tube train driver. London Underground described the response to its single advert in this month’s issue as ‘exceptional’.

Successful applicants will have to get out of bed for regular 4:45am starts, but the 27,650 (pounds) salary and up to eight weeks’ holiday pay may prove sufficient compensation.

Lorraine Candy, editor of Cosmo, said the interest her reads had shown demonstrated that young women were not bound by traditional career patterns.

‘It’s always been a classic thing for boys to want to be train drivers. Now we’re seeing that girls can do it too’, she said.

I don’t think the job is boring or un-sexy and I’m sure the passengers couldn’t care less whether the train is being driven by a man or a woman-as long as it it’s on time.’

The ability to break bad news to travelers more sympathetically is one reason London Underground is keen to increase its number of female drivers from 100- just three percent of its driving staff.

a) 1,400

b) 4:45


c) 27,650

Exercise B: Answer the following questions about the reading.
1) How many adverts did London Underground put in Cosmopolitan magazine?
