Are all the employees of foreign companies in Shanghai good at English?

I happen to work in a foreign company in Shanghai mentioned in the title. The English requirements of foreign companies in Europe and America that I have experienced are roughly as follows:

Generally speaking, in foreign companies, most college graduates can still be competent in English if they are in general positions. If you want to improve, good English will definitely help a lot. Because the management mostly comes from Europe and America, how can it be reused if it can't communicate smoothly?

According to what I have seen and heard. Some of them are high-level, but most of them are still average.

First of all, entering a foreign company, CET-4 and CET-6 is a threshold, and of course, there are more advanced BEC, or TOEFL and IELTS scores, which can be used as stepping stones.

I think the only time this kind of test score or certificate can play a role is in the resume. Once you enter a foreign company, your grades and certificates are basically useless.

I have worked in several foreign companies. There are big and small companies. I know colleagues or leaders with different levels. I don't want to say how powerful foreigners are and how advanced the company is. On the contrary, China has developed. I have met many foreigners. Not all foreigners have money, but foreigners also have a lot of diaosi. I just want to say that it is normal to have powerful foreigners, but not all foreigners are powerful. Many of them are ordinary people, working and living normally. There is no need to face foreign companies or foreigners, and the attitude is very low. Besides, most foreign companies are ordinary China people.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with reading and writing. For example, reading documents, answering emails and so on. Of course, sometimes, it is normal to look up the translation of professional terms in some industries. Many people don't have that big vocabulary, usually around 5000-7000.

Listening and speaking ability, the difference is quite big. Most people's listening and speaking skills are actually average. Not so fluent, stumbling is normal. Really blurted out, yes, but less.

On the other hand, it affects listening and speaking ability. Is this foreign company an English-speaking company? Many foreign companies, in fact, their mother tongue is not English, so those foreigners' English is also a knife. Many of these foreigners have poor English. So it's normal that you don't understand at first.

Having said that, what I really want to say is that there is no need to learn English well. What American accent, British accent, this actually doesn't mean much.

Essentially, this is just a language. You can understand him, and he can understand you. The problem is solved, that's enough. Secondly, don't underestimate foreigners and their understanding ability. Many times, body language is really useful and foreigners can really understand it. Third, don't feel that foreign companies are tall. I can't say that all foreign companies are not high, but most foreign companies and many companies in Shanghai are relatively average. So there is no need to be nervous or anything when communicating with foreigners. For a foreigner who speaks English with two knives, your level may be higher than his. For a native speaker, if he finds that you can't keep up with his speaking speed, generally speaking, he will repeat and slow down to match you.

In essence, English, my feeling is that as long as it can be used, it can solve the problem. Be able to speak and express clearly without misunderstanding. That's enough.

Most of them are

Not necessarily! For example, I work in Guangzhou, a foreign company is engaged in legal affairs, and my English is poor. The boss sends an English email for consultation, and I reply to Chinese. So three years! Because the boss is proficient in Chinese!

In my experience, it's just so-so. Not everyone is good. People who deal with foreigners are better, have a smooth conversation and can write English reports. Departments managed by China people can generally write PPT in English and reply to emails. Below junior college, except for driving for foreigners, it is basically unnecessary.

I am a private enterprise, because my clients are basically foreigners, and most of the information I give is in English, so reading and writing can be regarded as practice. The company invited foreign teachers, and I took classes for half a year. My vocabulary is not good, so my spoken English is still average.

Effie is in a foreign company, and her English is barely passable ... Her salary has gone up.

The family income before tax is 30,000.

Not every employee is good at English!

Ordinary employees can speak some basics, just read and write their own emails!

Senior managers need to be proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing!

Not necessarily. I used to be poor at English. We have an English professional administrator who helps us translate, but she can do most things by herself, just sending and receiving emails. I just need their help at the meeting.

In short, English level is directly proportional to salary!
