Because of the growing numbers of foreign-born technical profesionals in American industry, the need for appropriate on-site instruction I in the English of Science and Technology (EST) is becoming urgent. However, what the working professional needs from a course in writing EST differs markedly from what the university student in a technical degree program needs. This article identifies the most important of these differences and their implications for course design and materials development. It also argues that recent research on the dynamics of reading technical English can be used to inform the teaching of the technical writing skills that non-native speakers of English require in industry settings. The main work I am doing is programming in data base system. Except to writing the program I have to put comments to my program shortly and clearly. When design a new command we are required to do the system documentation about the system is designed for the walk through. It is hard for me to write down and let people understand what I intend to do neatly and straight forward. from an answer to a questionnaire
