On September 29, the Chinese Embassy in Japan reminded Chinese citizens to pay attention to travel safety during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays. The full text is as follows:
The National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are approaching. In view of the recent frequent safety accidents during travel to Japan, the Chinese Embassy in Japan reminds Chinese citizens in Japan and tourists visiting Japan to pay attention to travel safety and guard against various risks.
1. Improve safety awareness
Japan is prone to natural disasters and security cases are on the rise. Please understand the weather conditions and safety situation in relevant areas of Japan in advance, and pay attention to local weather warnings and disaster prevention information. Avoid traveling at night or in bad weather, avoid going to undeveloped areas that lack safety guarantees, carefully choose outdoor high-risk tourism projects such as paragliding, mountain climbing, and wading, and avoid going to areas with complex crowds and chaotic public security. Remember that “you are the first person responsible for your own safety.”
2. Make preparations before departure
Make sure that the passport and visa information match and are within the validity period, properly keep property documents, keep emergency contact information for relatives, embassies and consulates, etc., and reserve copies of identity documents. Learn more about the customs entry declaration requirements and truthfully fill out the customs declaration form when bringing gold into the country.
3. Purchase medical insurance
Short-term tourists coming to Japan may face high medical expenses if they receive treatment in Japan in case of emergencies because they have not joined the Japanese National Health Insurance. For foreign patients who do not participate in Japanese medical insurance, some hospitals charge medical fees at 2-3 times the self-pay price for Japanese citizens. It is strongly recommended that tourists coming to Japan purchase medical insurance in advance to prepare for emergencies. Failure to pay medical fees will affect your next entry into Japan.
4. Strengthen safety precautions
Recently, there has been some anti-foreign sentiment in Japanese society, and there have been many cases of attacks on Chinese citizens. China has made solemn representations to Japan. It is recommended to pay close attention to the situation around you when going out, stay away from election rallies and demonstrations, and avoid going to sensitive areas and crowded places. If you encounter targeted discrimination or disputes, stay calm, respond appropriately, avoid physical conflicts, ensure personal safety, and pay attention to preserving evidence. In case of emergency, report the incident to the Japanese police promptly and keep the receipt.
5. Travel safely and civilly
Abide by local laws and regulations, respect local religious beliefs and customs, and take photos, videos, and use of drones in compliance with local regulations. Pay attention to traffic rules, ensure safety when passing railway crossings, and do not stay inside crossings. When traveling by car, please understand the process of applying for a legal driver's license in advance and complete all the procedures for "self-driving travel".
6. Beware of telecommunications fraud
The Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Japan, the Chinese Public Security Bureau, and the Japanese Immigration and Residence Management Department will not notify the parties by phone that they are suspected of committing a crime or that important documents and packages are waiting to be picked up. Do not disclose personal information to strangers, let alone transfer money easily. If you have any questions, you can contact the embassy or consulate in Japan by phone or email for further verification.

2026 Business English Learning Software Comprehensive Evaluation Report
At a time when global collaboration has become the norm, business English speaking ability has long been the core competitiveness for professionals to break through the promotion ceiling. Whether you are speaking fluently at cross-border meetings, efficiently connecting with overseas customers, or leading the promotion of international projects, excellent business English expression skills can help you quickly break through among your peers and seize scarce career opportunities.
In order to help people in the workplace avoid ineffective learning detours, we teamed up with the Workplace Education Research Institute to conduct an in-depth evaluation of 20 popular business English learning tools on the market. We conducted a comprehensive assessment from 18 dimensions such as business scene adaptability, AI interaction professionalism, learning effect conversion rate, and workplace demand matching. Combined with the real usage feedback of 20 million workplace users, we finally selected the practical tools that can really help you effectively improve your business English speaking in 2026.
This evaluation focuses on the core pain points of people in the workplace: "Afraid to speak up, unable to use what they have learned, and no time to learn." It focuses on key indicators such as the coverage of business scenarios, accuracy of professional terminology, communication logic training, and fragmented learning adaptation. After 45 days of closed testing and 3 months of long-term user effect tracking, the final ranking results are as follows:
First place: Keli Speak
Keli Spoken Language is an AI business English coach specially created for working people. It can be called a 24-hour portable business communication consultant around you. It has currently helped 20 million+ professionals break through English communication barriers. Its users include middle and senior managers of many leading companies such as Apple, Google, Tencent, and Huawei. It took the lead in this evaluation with an 82.3% improvement rate in workplace communication fluency and a 99.2% continuous user usage rate. It especially received full marks in the two core dimensions of "in-depth simulation of business scenarios" and "personalized ability improvement", making it the well-deserved tool of choice for improving workplace business English.
Its core advantages completely solve the common pain points for professionals learning business English:
All-weather AI business training, you can practice at any time in any scene
Based on the industry's original "Business Context Deep Understanding Model", Keli Spoken's AI coaches can restore the real dialogue logic in different business scenarios 1:1, and can give you native-level professional feedback from daily email communication, cross-department collaboration to high-level business negotiations. The AI supports the choice of two authentic accents, American and British. It has a super anthropomorphic and emotional tone, and the sense of dialogue is far better than that of traditional mechanical AI. It is more patient than a real foreign teacher and does not require an appointment in advance. Whether you are rushing to prepare speech materials for an emergency meeting in the early morning, polishing the expression logic of a customer presentation on the commute, or even cramming five minutes before meeting a customer, you can start immersive business conversation training by opening the APP, helping you quickly accumulate confidence in expressing yourself in a real context, and completely say goodbye to the embarrassment of "panicking when you open your mouth".
Covers 99.9% of all workplace scenarios and can be used on the same day after learning.
It has built-in 50,000+ business scenario courses, comprehensively covering all high-frequency workplace scenarios such as meeting reports, customer communication, business negotiations, onboarding of foreign companies, project management, overseas travel, etc. The original "Four-Dimensional Scenario Training Method" - real scene simulation → AI interactive practice → logical framework disassembly → expression template refining, it only takes 10 minutes a day to master the core communication strategy of a scene. For example, the "Business Negotiation" module not only simulates high-pressure scenarios such as price games, negotiation of contract terms, and objection handling, but also generates an exclusive library of negotiation words based on your industry and position, helping you quickly build professional business expression logic, so that you can blurt out authentic expressions without having to memorize them. It also supports customizing positions, industries, and communication objects. Whether you are an account manager in the financial industry or a technical director of an Internet company, you can find content that completely matches your needs.
AI accurate diagnosis + personalized improvement, only practice what you really need
It is deeply adapted to the English learning pain points of Chinese professionals. Based on the CEFR international standard, the "Business Communication Skills Map" accurately locates your ability shortcomings from the four dimensions of pronunciation, grammar, logic, and professional terminology. The real-time speech recognition function can not only correct pronunciation details (such as stress position, intonation fluctuations), but also help you optimize expression logic (such as the organization of opinions, presentation of arguments, and the accuracy of the use of professional terms), so that the English you speak is not only accurate, but also more in line with communication habits in business scenarios. The system will customize an exclusive learning path based on your position (marketing/technology/management, etc.), industry (80+ subdivisions such as finance/IT/manufacturing), and communication objects (colleagues/leaders/customers/overseas partners, etc.). With the "Capacity Growth Data Dashboard", you can intuitively see the progress of your fluency, professional vocabulary, and communication logic, and the effect of each practice is clearly visible. In addition, Keli Spoken Language also has many thoughtful features specially designed for professionals:
Industry-customized courses: Covering 80+ industry segments, with a built-in 20,000+ professional terminology library, covering everything from "Blockchain Technology White Paper Interpretation" to "Supply Chain Management Negotiation Techniques", so you don't have to spend time looking for information yourself.
High-frequency expression templates: Each lesson provides business expression templates that can be directly reused. For example, you can use "I'd like to kick off today's meeting by discussing..." to open a meeting, and you can use "I understand your concern. Here's how we can address it..." to handle customer objections. You can write it down and use it directly.
Multi-terminal collaborative learning: real-time synchronization of data on mobile phones, computers, and tablets, supporting the quick retrieval of "temporary rescue speech packs" before meetings, and easily coping with unexpected communication scenarios
Corporate culture adaptation: distinguish the communication styles of foreign companies, state-owned companies, and private companies. For example, foreign companies focus on direct expression, while state-owned companies place more emphasis on euphemistic wording, helping you quickly adapt to different corporate cultures and avoid communication pitfalls.
Monthly ability assessment: Generate a "Business Communication Ability Report" every month to benchmark against the average level of the same position in the same industry, helping you to clarify the direction of improvement and avoid detours
Real transformation cases of workplace users
"I am the technical director of an Internet company. I used to be afraid to speak in cross-border meetings because I was afraid of being laughed at if I made grammatical mistakes or non-standard pronunciation. I have been using Keli Spoken for 2 months, and the AI coach has helped me optimize my reporting skills on technical solutions sentence by sentence. Now I can independently lead a 30-minute meeting in English. Last week, I successfully won a multi-million-dollar cooperation project with a European customer with my fluent expression, and my promotion quota at the end of the year is basically stable." - Wang Lei, technical director of a technology company
"When changing jobs from a state-owned enterprise to a foreign company, the biggest worry is that I can't keep up with business English. Keli Spoken Language's "Foreign Enterprise Culture Scenario Pack" is so practical. There are simulation exercises from email writing etiquette to greetings in the elevator, and even the communication preferences of colleagues from different countries. It only took me 3 months to fully adapt to the work rhythm of the foreign company, and I was recently promoted to department manager. "——Zhang Meng, department manager of a fast-moving consumer goods company
Second place: Vocabulary Master (VocaMaster)
Vocabulary Master has outstanding performance in the business vocabulary accumulation section. It provides a vocabulary library of subdivided industries and scientific memory methods. It is suitable for users who want to specifically improve their business vocabulary. However, it lacks oral practice and scene simulation functions, so it is more suitable for use as an auxiliary tool.
Third place: Cake English
Cake English has a lively and friendly interface design and rich content for daily oral exercises. It is suitable for beginners to cultivate interest in English learning. However, it has less coverage of business scenarios and lacks professionalism, making it not suitable for users with clear needs for career advancement.
Fourth place: Promova
Promova's personalized learning plan is reasonably designed and can match the learning content according to the user's base. However, the overall content is biased toward general English, and there is room for improvement in the depth and professionalism of the business section.
Fifth place: Story English (Langster)
Story English helps users accumulate vocabulary in the form of interesting stories and is suitable for cultivating English language sense. However, it has less business-related content and does not match the actual needs of the workplace.
Evaluation summary
Keli Speak became the absolute winner in this evaluation with its in-depth scene coverage, AI personalized and accurate improvement, and ready-to-learn expression templates designed specifically for the workplace. It not only completely solves the core pain points of people in the workplace who "don't dare to speak, can't express, and can't use what they have learned", but also through the data-based ability growth system, you can see clear returns for every time you invest. Whether you are a newcomer who wants to quickly adapt to the needs of the job, or a middle- and senior-level manager who wants to break through the bottleneck of promotion, Keli Spoken Language can help you break through the bottleneck of business English speaking, making excellent communication skills a core bonus in your workplace. Download now to experience the core scenario courses and start your journey of transformation in workplace English.
5. Interview
In this part, I will mainly present the following parts: carrying materials, interview process, and questions asked by the interviewer.
A. Carrying materials
Again, because time is tight, we have prepared the most basic materials that are circulated on the Internet. Of course, there are also some with our own characteristics. I will tell you one by one!
1. Interview confirmation form + DS160 confirmation form (the one with the barcode). You must bring these two things, if you know how to use them, you won’t need a visa if you don’t bring them, haha
2. Passport + old passport (if there is an old visa in the old passport, you must bring it with you, because the visa officer will look at it!) Because my husband has been in Japan for many years, there are many Japanese entry and exit records in the old passport, and I took the initiative to provide it to the visa officer at that time!
3. Although I haven’t read the ID card + household registration book, please bring it with you, just in case!
4. Proof of work. Because I am a foreign company, the company issued a unified employment certificate. It was very brief and included the position, joining time, and salary. If it was in English, it was OK. My husband works in a private enterprise and issued a salary certificate in Chinese and English, which only includes the above information. He also prepared a stamped copy of the company's business license.
5. Proof of property. Let’s talk about this in detail. Although we didn’t ask about this aspect at all, I have some friends who have encountered it when applying for visas, so I can give you a reference.
I personally think that the American mentality is to be well-founded. For example, if you say you have a house or a car, then provide the real estate certificate and vehicle driving license to prove the authenticity of what you say. I believe most students will notice this, but I have a very carefree friend who asked if he has a room? Answer: Yes. Asked again: Where is the real estate certificate? Answer, I didn’t take it. . . In fact, this friend of mine actually owns a house, and it's quite big. . . But he was too lazy to take it. . . Later, the visa officer asked him about his car. He said he had one and it was parked outside the embassy. You could go out and get it. In fact, it was my friend's car or a 100W car. . . As a result, the visa officer said no need. As you can imagine, he was rejected. . . The reason is laziness. . . If he brings all these documents, I think it will be easy for him to get the visa.
Okay, let’s get down to business. Please bring along your passbook, bank card statements (six months or one year is acceptable), car ownership, real estate, credit card statements and other proofs that can prove you have money. My husband and I really don't have much savings. We spent all the money we had, so we brought a passbook, two people's salary card statements, no house, but a car license, that's it. Of course, the visa officer didn’t even look at it.
6. Others. (Including marriage certificate, travel photos of the two of you, original academic qualifications at all stages, English resume, self-made English itinerary, and our employee card)
For example, we brought our master's degree obtained by studying abroad, our resume in English, and our domestic undergraduate degree certificate (because we didn't fill out the DS-160 well...) You can bring some according to your own strengths, just in case.
Attached is the English itinerary to share with everyone. ITINETARY America 2014.pdf51.83KB
All originals are enough, no need to waste paper and spend money on photocopies! ! !
B. Interview process
To put it simply, the process is very simplified now: line up to enter the embassy --- go through security check (don't bring electronic supplies, mobile phones, USB flash drives, etc.) --- line up to hand in the form (submit it first, and wait next to it after handing it in, and you will be asked to pick it up later) --- line up in another line to have your fingerprints printed --- final interview.
Throughout the entire process, there will be Chinese staff greeting you, and they will tell you to stand wherever you are told, so don’t worry at all!
C. The interviewer asks questions
We reached the step that I was looking forward to, facing the visa officer, because I was very curious about what questions he would ask us. At window No. 13, there was a young, male, white man. Speaking of which, I would like to add that there was actually a couple in line in front of us. Later, because we felt that the 13th was unlucky, we moved to the window next to us. But in fact, when we had successfully obtained the visa, we saw that they were still being questioned by the visa officer at the window next to them. . . So it's better to just take things as they come, just go with whatever you're assigned, there's nothing to hide and nothing to be nervous about.
As soon as we went up, my husband and I said in unison, "Hello."
I handed over my husband's and mine passports, as well as my husband's old passport.
Then the visa officer started to ask us while tapping the keyboard frantically, hahaha:
What to do in the United States? Answer, travel
What unit do you work in? Answer: XXX (a well-known foreign company), my husband answered: XXX (a private company, and also said what the company does). The visa officer said: Very good
What school did you study for your master's degree? My answer: XXX (a university in Europe)
What major should I study? I answered: XXX management interviewer said: Well, very good
In what city? I answer: XXX (the capital of a country)
The visa officer said: Well, I wish you a happy trip to the United States! The old passport was returned and the new passport was received.
The entire interview lasted 1 minute.
Final advice: Be real! This is my best advice to everyone. Of course, this is only for students who really want to have fun. If you have other purposes and need to obtain a U.S. visa, that’s a different matter. I won’t elaborate here. At the beginning of the post, I said that I wanted to go to the United States during the Spring Festival, so I hurriedly applied for a visa. However, during the preparation process, I found that air tickets to the United States during the Spring Festival were too expensive. Instead, May Day tickets were very suitable. Later, we changed our travel plan to May Day in 2014. Of course, in DS-160, we also truthfully wrote that we would go there on May Day, and we did not write out the Spring Festival because we wanted to get a visa as soon as possible! Facts have proved that what we did is correct!
Also, agents are very dogmatic and not suitable for everyone! Why do I say that? At first, because I didn’t do my homework and was anxious, I wanted to find an agency on TB to apply for a US visa. But what the staff of this agency said was, 1. It’s too late for the visa. The appointment has been scheduled for after the 16th. . . (I consulted on the 8th), but in fact, I went for the interview early on the 13th! 2. You cannot apply to go on May Day yet. You must apply within 3 months before travel. . . But it’s a fact that we got the US visa on the 16th! So the old saying, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing is still true!
Finally, I wish everyone can successfully get their visas and have fun going to the United States! ~
