💡 Business English Tip
Being polite doesn't make you sound weak—it makes you sound professional.
Instead of:
❌ I want the report today.
Say:
✅ Could you send me the report today?
Or even better:
✅ Could you please send me the report by the end of the day?
🇧🇷 Você poderia me enviar o relatório até o final do dia?
Professional English is all about respectful communication.
