PaperTrue: The Company Catering to China’s English Writing Needs

The 21st century has enabled booming international trade and business like never before. And English is the lingua franca for its communication to keep global commerce in speed. This has led to the development of Business English, which the world is scurrying to catch up to. China is at the forefront! But that road for now, is paved with many lingual obstacles. 

The challenges of Business English in the Chinese context

Though China is catching up with ESP (English for Specific Purposes) in a big way, learners face big challenges in learning the nuances of English due to the vast differences in the construct of the two languages. Let’s look: 

• The academic level language lessons only cover basic conversational English. It doesn’t cover advanced English writing in-depth.
• Graduates from the best of schools and universities consider Business English writing to be the most difficult course in the program.
• Lack of language proficiency makes it difficult to put across thoughts and ideas sufficiently.
• Improper use of grammar can distort the meaning of the message you’re trying to send across to your overseas clients or partners.

Written communication is important 

Business documents can make or break important deals. These days, a lot of commercial communication happens over the internet. As meeting associates face-to-face can be time and cost-intensive, sending across a smartly worded letter is more effective. That’s how most business deals get sealed through emails, telephones or video conferences. This makes the written word highly valuable for all involved parties. 

A well-written business letter conveys trust, interest, and assurance of high-quality. Whereas a poorly written piece shows a lack of due diligence, interest, and weak preparedness.

What we do

Studies show there is an increasing need for business English editing, proofreading, and translation services in China. PaperTrue has been at the forefront of the editing and proofreading service space in Europe and the U.S. for over a decade now.  So we realized that it is our duty to fill in the void with the highest quality English writing services in China. Today, we stand proud as enablers of that. Here are our main areas of function: 

Editing 

Our expert editors scan your documents from a business lens. We ensure your documents appear clear and professional, conveying the best of your abilities. Whether it’s for internal circulation or sent out to stakeholders, we make sure to add the required level of tone and voice to carry with the underlying message. 

While writing business letters, you must ensure you don’t make it jargon-heavy, improper sentencing and have any grammar or spelling mistakes. That will surely give a bad impression and not be taken seriously at all.

Proofreading

Global business houses make sure that the annual reports and other crucial documents they circulate among stakeholders are thoroughly proofread by professionals. That’s what we do as a company; make sure that each page and every word is perfectly arranged by eliminating all language and grammatical errors. 

Translation

Over the years, we have built a reputation for providing world-class services in the translation, editing, and proofreading industry. Having worked closely with Chinese business professionals on a variety of English documents, they remain our main focus as we understand their specific needs.

Plagiarism check
