The goal of this exercise is to translate formal or jargon-heavy “Business English” into clear, simple language that anyone can understand — even if they’re not familiar with corporate terms.
- “Guaranteed satisfaction” becomes a simple promise.
- “Action item” is demystified as “a specific task.”
- “Expand our service offering” becomes “add more services.”
- “Price point” is explained as “that price level.”
- “Public relations” is simplified to “how we communicate with the public.”
- “Invoice” becomes “send bills.”
- “New hires” = “people who just started.”
