Keep Chat Local, Send the Line in Standard

Tonight is one sendable line. Leave informal chat alone. Rewrite tomorrow's first work sentence into Standard English.

Chat can stay local

No. Informal local chat can stay. Tomorrow's first email, update, or request is the Standard sentence.

Do not police colleagues' chat. A record needs a mixed-audience floor.

A lunch chat can stay "can lah". The first line of tomorrow's client update cannot.

Rewrite the first sentence you will send

Open tomorrow's first message. Rewrite only the first sentence so a mixed-audience reader can act. Keep names and numbers.

1. Open tomorrow's first email, update, or request.
2. Rewrite only the first sentence.
3. Keep names and numbers.
4. Read it as if the chat never happened.

Do not rewrite the whole thread.

"Please send the file by 3pm so I can close the report" is a stranger-ready line. "As discussed can anot" is not.

If tomorrow's first sentence is a status update to a mixed team, rewrite that one. Leave the group chat alone.

Send only if a stranger can act

Done: a colleague who missed the chat can still act. Not done: the line still needs lah, can, or a missing owner.

No accent judgement. The test is action, not sounding foreign.

This is not the exam page or the word-card page

No. The exam page cuts Singlish in scripts. The word-card page spends one new word. Business English may host more workplace lines if three sends still fail. Confirm live terms.

iWorld Learning's Business English page currently lists emails, meetings, and presentations. Confirm live terms.
