ABSTRACT
As far as I am concerned, economic globalization has a significant influence on many countries, each has reaped plentiful fruits of it. Therefore, it is a tendency towards enrolling in international trade, more and more countries taking part in international trade. Since China join in WTO, China has extended its scale of building business relationship with other countries all over the world. So do others. While as the basic tool of communication, the quality of business correspondence determines the success of business transactions. Those, which are good examples of business English correspondence, will give company’s cooperative partner a good impression, epitomizing its good manner; on the contrary, those terribly organized correspondences will misrepresent the company’s economic power, which in the end will affect their relationship. Thus, it’s extremely important to know more about business English correspondence, aiming to achieve good performance in international trade. My thesis, referring to the influence of Business English correspondence with international trade, and demonstrating these influences by analyzing the lexical features of Business English correspondence, is then putted forward.
