Plain Language

Which tricks and tips can help us speak in a way so that non-native speakers can understand us? 

Why is the sentence “the surgery will be completed by 3pm” so hard to understand? And how can we make this sentence easier?  

“Plain Language“ tools help us. We actively practise how to communicate work instructions and processes in an easier way. We work in a practical way and verbalise the processes of your job.
