1. It is an obvious matter of fact that business contexts differ from other contexts social or personal when it comes to speaking with individuals whose first language isn’t English. In the business interaction an individual is always expected to use suitable English that is appropriate for business context. On the other hand, in personal or social context, there can be use of colloquial English language as well. Any kind of small talks in the business context should be avoidable whereas in personal context small talks are important for building a strong relationship (Hua, 2013).
