It is quite obvious that nowadays English is an international language. It is the first language for most people, for example, for people from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand and others. But it is widely used as a second language and as an official one in many countries. Today people use it not only as a way of communicating during traveling, but also as a way of carrying on business. Therefore, one should speak English now. But business English has different meanings. For example, it may be focused on vocabulary and topics used in the worlds of finance, business, trade, international relations etc. Also it may be referred to the communication skills used in the workplace, and may be focused on the language and skills needed for typical business communication such as presentations, negotiations, meetings, small talk, socializing, correspondence, report writing, and so on. Speaking about the business English language, one should also note that it has a standard which people should use while they speak English. It recommends avoiding jargon, dialects, long and ambiguous sentences. Because sometimes you may communicate with people for whom this language is not the native one. It is quite easy to have business around the world knowing the only one language English.
