Have you ever struggled to understand a work email or business report because it was full of complicated language? Or maybe you missed an important detail that changed the meaning of what you read?
In this episode, I talk about why strong reading skills are important for work. Reading at work isn’t just about recognizing words—it’s about picking out key points, understanding the main message, and avoiding misunderstandings. Whether it’s an email, a contract, or a report, knowing how to read carefully can help you communicate better, make smarter decisions, and avoid mistakes.
I also share a time when I misread part of a project update, which caused confusion and delays. That experience taught me how important it is to slow down, read carefully, and make sure I fully understand what I’m reading.
Key Takeaways:
- Reading more improves comprehension, vocabulary, and overall communication.
- Keep a vocabulary journal and use new words in real emails and reports.
- Exposure and consistency are essential—immerse yourself in business English daily.
