　　Interlocutor: Mr. Li, you said you're spending a lot of time on business English. Do you think business English is difficult to learn?

　　Li: Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage. The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.

　　Interlocutor: How about you, Mr. Wang? Is it difficult for you?

　　Wang: Not really. You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very interesting.
