A: we should establish a complete set of evaluating system within the whole company to monitor individual performance of every employee and to report their performance to the board and the department they belong to.Their performance is judged on the basis of their position and responsibility and in accordance with their personal abilities.Of course any other factors that will affect their performance directly or indirectly will also be taken into consideration.Besides the feedback will be sent directly to our employees’ mailbox immediately after their performance is evaluated.27.How to maintain customer interest in a company’s products A: usually customers are interested in the products which have high reputation or world-wide brand names.Therefore a company should try to keep the fame of their products and develop its products into a global brand in order to attract its customers.And of course customers are often concerned about the quality of the products they are intended to buy.In this regard a company should make their products reliable to use.In addition a company should upgrade their products in a direction that will lead to a multi-functional and user-friendly kind of products.Try to show your customers that your products have great potentials so that they will keep their interest in your products.28.The importance of having a career plan in order to achieve high levels of success at work

A: in today’s increasingly-competitive market product diversification is crucial to the success of a business.Today’s market is becoming more and more diversified which means a single range of products produced by a certain company cannot survive since the competition is extremely high.And even if you survive you will find your earnings via a single product won’t cover even a small fraction of your cost.Therefore a business should diversify its product range.A diversified product range will make you avoid the tense competition in the specific area and give you more opportunities to open up more potential markets which will reduce to a large extent the risks due to the high competition.(还可从吸引顾客的角度来说)

30.The importance in business of maintaining personal contact with clients

A: some of your clients are your important suppliers and others are your distributors.Therefore keeping contact with them means you keep a good communication with your suppliers or distributors whose information is crucial to your production and sales.Any information you gain from your client can be used to test the popularity of your products.Usually formal or official contact with your clients won’t give you much more opportunities to get the information you need.Personal contact however can be developed into a very useful contact since it can produce a sound environment in which you talk to your clients personally.And you can even get some information about your revival through personal contact which you can use to take the advantage in the competition.And of course you will know better what your clients think of your products and what they expect from you since most of your clients are reluctant to tell you because of the strict environment of formal contact.31.How to balance company growth with production capacity

A: in order to balance company growth with production capacity we must keep our production capacity at an appropriate level so that it can promote the growth of our company.If we pay too much attention to the development of production capacity while neglecting the possible harms it can cause we will have to face the stagnation in the grow of our company or the growth bubble which will eventually burst.If we accelerate our production capacity without any consideration of the current market demand or current situation of the company’s sales we will definitely increase our inventory which will cause the break of the cash flow.32.How to achieve and maintain high motivation among a workforce

A: as today’s businessmen we shoulder more and more responsibilities and experience more intensive stress which if not appropriately deal with will lead to mental fatigue or other mental illnesses or even worse the total breakdown.Therefore the ability to cope with the stress in our jobs is one of the most important skills we should acquire in today’s business world.Furthermore, we will inevitably encounter some stress in our daily work.Without appropriately dealing with these stresses we cannot continue our work in a normal way and the stagnation will appear to offset any achievement we have made in the previous work.

第二篇：商务英语口试注意事项

口试第一部分注意事项：

口试第一部分考生在回答考官问题时，不要简单回答Yes 或No，还要用两三句话来做进一步解释说明。在考官问搭档问题时也不要插话，在旁边倾听即可，等考官问你，你再回答。考官可能会问你相同的问题，也可能问不同的问题。通过认真倾听，一方面可以有助于你熟悉考官和搭档的语音面貌，另一方面也可以熟悉他们交流的问题，以免当考官中途问你对这个问题的看法时，不知所云。

口试第二部分参考框架（采用总－分－总的方法）

I choose topic A, 然后把题念一遍。

总括I think there are three points/aspects to consider.First,把题卡上第一点说一下，然后用两三句话解释

Second, 把题卡上第二点说一下，然后用两三句话解释

Third,把你发挥的第三点说一下，然后用两三句话解释

总结：

In conclusion,/In summary, I think 三个要点重复一下 are important when doing sth.(重复一下原题的要求）

Well, that‟s all I want to say.Thank you!或Well, I think I have covered the main points.Thank you!

切记：

1.一定要合理利用1分钟的准备时间，最好写下要点，以防忘记，造成发言不连贯。要点是指能起到提醒作用的单词或词组，不必写完整句子，时间太短，没有时间写完整句子。

2.一定要尽量发挥第三点，以使你的发言丰满，同时也能使考官看到你语言和话语组织能力。但是如果实在想不出来第三点，就说提示的两点也可以，但是一定要说满一分钟，解释要点可以有详有略。注意采用总－分－总的方法，这样显得条理清楚。

3.在听搭档发言时，就要努力想自己要提的问题，要根据搭档的发言提问，不要跑题。如果搭档讲的内容没有听明白，就根据你听懂的几个单词提问也可以。

可参考的提问句子有：

Which do you think is the most important point? Why?(前提是搭档在发言时没有表明态度)要求搭档进一步解释某个要点。I am very interested in-----Could you further explain-----, please?

提出自己看法，然后要求搭档评论。I think---is also important.What do you think of it? 要求搭档说一下自己公司的有关情况？Could you say something about-----in your company, please?

4.回答搭档的问题时，不要简单回答Yes或No, 要用两三句来解释。不知道如何回答，可以结合自己熟悉的事情，如自己生活和工作经验等来回答，举例说明是个很好的方法，口试第三部分参考框架

讨论开始时建议说：

A: OK, shall we make a start?/let's start.OK?

B: OK.A: Let‟s start with the first question.然后把第一个讨论题念出来。

讨论完第一个题后，自然过渡到第二个题，这时可以说：

B: let‟s discuss the second question 或Let‟s move on to the next question.然后把第二个讨论题念出来

注意：

讨论过程中有观点和论据。在阐明自己的想法后，一定要询问搭档的看法。如果搭档说不出来，你要想办法给他一个台阶下，你可以说Do you agree with me? 如果他同意，那你们就可以把谈话进行下去，如果他不同意就让他解释原因。

如果自己没想好，可以先问搭档的观点（What‟s your opinion? How /What about you?）。以争取更多的时间思考。在倾听搭档表达个人观点时，自己也一定要积极思考。以免搭档卡壳，出现冷场。搭档没有表达清楚，要积极帮助搭档表达清楚,让考官看到你积极主动与人沟通的一面，充分体现你良好的沟通愿望和技巧，给考官留下非常好的印象。

如果你对题目毫无看法，当搭档问你的观点时，你可以说I agree with you., 然后用自己的话复述一下搭档的观点。也可以适当补充一下搭档的观点。这样也可以让考官看到你语言水平。最后总结讨论结果。可以用以下表达：

In conclusion,-----

To sum up-----

切记：第三部分讨论大多数情况是考生观点互为补充，如果观点有分歧，就要有人妥协。因为如果双方都不妥协就不能达成一致，从而不能完成任务。所以学会妥协很重要。记住你们是合作的关系，不是竞争的关系，要顾全大局。

口语考试特别提示:

BEC口试测试分三个阶段进行：第一阶段：采取考官与考生交流的方式，时间约为4—5分钟。考生应对考官的问题做出回答或对考官提出的要求做出反应。考官所题问题主要针对商务交往的具体内容。第二阶段：采取考生与考生交流的方式，时间约为3—4分钟。每组考生抽去两组卡片，每组卡片为两张，一张卡片上描述具体内容，另一张卡片由针对其内容的问题。考生可得到一张卡片上描述具体内容和另一考生卡片相关问题卡片，有足够时间阅读卡片，交流的内容局限于这两组卡片。第三阶段、这部分要求考生就某一题目进行讨论，主考官会适时介入谈话。

第一阶段、这部分是主考官与考生的对话，考官问的问题一般有：姓名、职业、所学专业，对所从事的工作或所学专业是否喜欢，为什么喜欢或不喜欢等等。

另外，考官会就某一方面问考生，如有关就业就可能问：What would your ideal job be? Do you think all companies ought to provide training opportunities for staff? Is the opportunity to work abroad important to you? 等等。

当主考官在与一考生对话时，另一考生必须仔细听，因为主考官问了考生甲“Do you think all companies ought to provide training opportunities for staff”后，可能会问考生乙“What do you think of it”，如果考生乙没有仔细听，就要对考官说Sorry或Please pardon 这样会影响口试效果。口试第一部分考试时间约为4分钟。

第二阶段、这一部分要求考生就某一主题进行阐述。考生就信息卡上的问题回答。如：What is important when … ? Opening a branch in a new cityl The locationl The potential purchasing power阐述完了之后，考官司就所阐述的内容提问。只要考生能对信息卡的内容有所了解，一般可以较好地回答问题。

第三阶段、这部分要求考生就某一题目进行讨论，主考官会适时介入谈话。两个考生在讨论都应该积极参与，不能将问题交给对方去阐述，讨论是双向的。如：Business SeminarYour company is going to hold a seminar on a certain topic about marketing.You have been asked to help with the preparation for the seminar.Discuss the situation together and decide:l What facilities and seminar arrangements you will need to makel Who you are going to invite to attend the seminar, and how to contact them.以上信息卡提供了两个讨论要点，即：研讨会需要什么设备，应做些什么安排；准备邀请什么人，怎样与他们联系。考生应该发挥想象力，举办一个研讨会，考虑需要那些设备，如白板、笔、投影仪、电脑、饮水机、咖啡机等，此外，还可能需要翻译人员、文秘人员等；考虑那些要员是必须出席的等等。

当一个考生在阐述意见时，另一考生需要在适当的时候介入。另外，考生要注意不要挖空心思去寻找对应的英语来表达汉语思维的内容，只要达到效果就行。如有的考生要表达‟沿海城市‟，如果不知道coastal city，可以用其它的方法来表示这个意思，如可以用the city along the coast 或 the city on the sea等。

口语是BEC四个单元中挑战性较大的一部分，并且口语考试的难度随着等级的提高而加大。BEC口语考试分为三部分。第一部分是考生与考官的交流，着重于个人情况，学习工作，兴趣爱好。这一部分必须充分准备，但难度不会超过普通的工作面试，且一般不会涉及商务知识。主要的难点在于第二、第三部分。第二部分让考生就某一商务主题发表一分钟的演讲，而第三部分中，两位考生就某个商务主题进行讨论。这两个部分要求较高，而准备时间仅为一分钟。

针对BEC口语出题范围。将其细分为多个出题领域：职业发展，人事，营销，商务交流，信息管理，物流，金融，公司发展，项目管理，质量控制，竞争，健康安全，战略策划，生产管理，国际商务，交通，商业文化与伦理等，各个击破。对于每个领域内的经典题型，必须对大量范文作详细分析，总结最常用的话题与理由，体会不同场合变换说法的重要性，克服考生中普遍的理解考题却无话可说的尴尬。

对于任一题目，光说一大堆理由，是很难得高分的，即使理由本身非常正确。关键在于必须有活生生的例子说明问题。这一点上，临时抱佛脚是没有用的，务必要*平时注意收集并在会话中运用恰当的例子。

是要透过经典题型例解的现象看本质。学会运用会话模式，如开题—质询—观点—扩展型对话，并掌握有效的相关口语技巧，如Echo, Objection, Proposition, Development, Hypothesis, Definition, Interrogation, Repetition等。这样，对于会话的总体框架与结构在心中有了一个蓝图以后，才能把注意力放在内容上。

对于如何使口语更自然更地道的一些语言点，也必须有所涉及。语言的丰富化与口语化不是一日之功，但也要总结规律。比如，用一些语气词如well，right？等和反义疑问句可以使语言较为自然。一些口语化的词组如icing on the cake，sell like hotcakes，ballyhoo，shelf sitter等也可以给会话增色。当然粗俗的俚语在商务会话中是不允许的。另外，书面用语如 nevertheless，furthermore, in addition, utmost 等非但不会让考官欣赏，反而显得做作，不自然。正所谓„过犹不及‟。要做到恰到好处，必须对词汇和短语的色彩有精确体会。必须指出的是，口语化不等于散漫化。BEC口语的目的还是为商务主题服务的，所以决不能沦为聊天式的极其随便的对话。关键在于应做到„casual without losing focus‟，即„外松内紧‟。

口语考试策略指导

.Be well prepared.做好充分准备是成功的基本保障，这包括对考试风格，模式，题型和最新动态的熟悉，更包括大量的、有针对性的口语练习。但必须指出一点，准备的过程不应是背诵的过程。很多考生对自己在面试中的表现感觉良好，最终却对自己出乎意料的低分大吃一惊，百思不得其解，其实原因很简单：考官对考生背诵事先准备好的答案很反感，尤其当他/她听到同一种答案被很多考生重复使用时，那种令人作呕的感觉可想而知。在考官看来，Using a prepared answer is similar to cheating!所以给准备BEC考试的考生一个忠告：Over prepared is often as harmful as under prepared.2.Have an easy but concentrated state of mind.心态对于任何事的成功都是至关重要的，语言测试，尤其是一对一的口语测试更是如此。良好的心态可以使人超水平发挥；糟糕的心态却可以让人遭遇滑铁卢。在以往的BEC考试中，相当数量的考生是因为心态不好，主要是过度紧张导致失利的。应该说适度的紧张还是有益的。我们应该充分重视BEC口语考试，但没有理由惧怕它。调整心态，放松心情的几种方法：

1)尽量把参加BEC面试想象成拜访一个朋友，而那个朋友有一些问题不明白，需要向我请教。

2)面试前一晚一定要睡个好觉，考前一餐不要吃得太饱，当然也不能空腹。

3)进入面试房间前做几次深呼吸，然后告诉自己：既然我知道自己英语说得不错，别人也应该知道。

4)把对方想象成考生，把自己想象成考官，当然该回答的问题还是要认真回答。

5)如果知道自己的英语口语不太好就更没必要紧张了，紧张又不能帮我提高成绩，不如彻底放松，奋力一搏，说不定就能达到柳暗花明的效果。

3.Focus on your English instead of your ideas.考官在考察我们的英文而不是我们的思想，没有必要为了一个我认为“闪光”的思想强迫自己说那些说不清的英文句子，重要的是把我有把握的英文说清楚。考官基本上不会在乎我们的观点，而是根据我们的英文打分的，况且我认为很精彩的一个观点很可能其他人已经重复过多次。一个蹩脚的复杂句并不比简明流畅的短句给考官的印象更好。在口语表达中我是主动的，没有人强迫我说什么。不会说的词就换另一个词；没有把握的句型就换另一个句子；讲不清的观点可以马上用另一种观点，甚至违心地说几句话也无妨，为了拿到分数豁出去了。记住：虽然语言只是表达思想的载体，但那是在生活中。在语言测试中，尤其是当我们的语言手段不足以表达我们复杂的思想时，一定要让思想服从于语言，只讲能讲得清的观点。

4.Use your common sense.很多考生分丢得实在冤枉，当被问到一些常识性问题时，我们往往因为缺乏常识或不会利用常识而轻易放弃机会，白白丢分。要知道十几分钟的面试转瞬即逝，放弃一个问题可能就意味着分数降一个档次。有些问题被考生放弃并不是因为语言问题，而是他们认为对这个话题没有idea，不知道该说什么。例如被问到家乡最有趣的方面是什么时，很多考生吞吞吐吐说不出来，或者干脆说没什么有趣的。其实这是一个非常简单的问题，只要有一点常识就不难想到有太多话题可讲：自然风光、名胜古迹、地方风俗、历史、地理、风土人情、节日庆典、饮食习惯、教育制度、天气情况等等都可以成为谈论的话题。任何时候都不要放弃任何问题。Saying something is better than saying nothing!

5.Be calm in mind and active in attitude.回答问题时要沉着，冷静，思路清晰，同时表现出主动参与、喜欢交谈的态度。首先要保证听懂问题再回答，不要听到之言片语就慌忙回答，随后发现误解了考官的问题或答非所问；更不要没听懂考官的问题就沉默不语。如果真没听懂也不要慌，可以先根据此时的谈话背景迅速寻找线索，把自己的猜测大胆讲出来，待对方证实后继续回答。例如：Q: What's your line of business?

A: Excuse me, are you asking me to talk about my job?

假如连一点猜测的线索都没有，坦白的告诉考官你没有听懂比不懂装懂，答非所问更能表现出考生喜欢参与的坦诚态度和善于交谈的应变能力。

第五篇：商务英语常见错误

商务英语中常见错误

Personal vs.Personnel

密切注意这些单词的拼写和重音！“Personnel”是个名词意思是公司的职员。例如“Our company has the best personnel in the industry.”重音落在单词的末尾。“Personal”是个形容词意思是私人或是个人。“I'm requesting a day of annual leave for personal reasons.”重音容落在单词的开头。如果你不仔细，你就可能说成“personal meeting”而不是“personnel meeting.”

Executive

“executive”是公司的管理人员。如果你正在向访客或是客户介绍你公司的高层

executives，那就要注意单词的发音喽！如果你将重音落在 “u”上，那么“executive”马上就听起来象“execute”-将某人杀死或判死刑。

Present? Presentate? Presentation?

当你作presentation时present信息。Present是个动词意思是将某物呈现给别人。presentation是常在商务中推出新信息时使用的一种形式。许多人－就算是一些英语的本土人士－ 认为“presentate”是 “presentation.”的动词形式。不要犯同样的错误！“I look forward to hearing from you.”

这个短语通常用于商务信件中。但是学习英语者常写成，“I look forward to hear from you.”这不正确并且让英语本土人士听起来有些滑稽。动词 “hear”在这个短语中总是要有“ing”的。

Headquarters and Information

许多的英语学习者把“headquarters”这个单词的“s”漏掉而在“information”后加上了“s”。Headquarters是个单数名词意思是公司的总部：“I'm going to headquarters this

weekend to meet with the CEO.” Headquarters是个微妙的单词因为它是以“s”结尾的。看起来象是个复数名词！但是漏掉“s”会把headquarters变成个动词，“to headquarter.” 在另一方面，许多学习者在information后加上了“s”。大多数人的理由是如果他们需要很多的信息，他们就需要把这个单词变成复数，例如，“I need informations on overseas study programs.”但是信息是个不可数名词（它没有复数名词）。你只需要说，“I need some information.”
