Many Chinese learners today are interested in the language for business purposes. Opportunities for career development are booming in China!

Today, Teacher Helena introduces some sentence patterns and language to help you in a business setting.

You can learn two sentence patterns:

"在 (zài) + time word / noun + 之内 (zhī nèi) 

For example: 
1.
Zài běnzhōu zhī nèi, wǒ zài Xīnjiāpō chūchāi.
在本周之内，我在新加坡出差.
I am on a business trip to Singapore during this week. 

2. 
Qǐng nǐ zài sān tiān zhī nèi huífù wǒ.
请你在三天之内回复我.
Please reply to me within 3 days.

Example #2 is often used while making a phone call. 

Another example is ""A 和 (hé) B 为一体 (wéi yì tǐ). This structure will make you sound more professional in Chinese business settings. 

For example：

Zhè shì jiāo jiǎn tǐ zhōng wén hé fán tǐ zhōng wén wéi yì tǐ de xué xiào.
这是教简体中文和繁体中文为一体的学校. 
This school can teach students simplified Chinese and also traditional Chinese.
