专家建议:如何高效练习商务英语口语?
一、从单词开始
根据格锐英语教学组研发的商务英语口语如何学习的经验,商务英语口语的内容要从单词开始学习。首先的问题是量:多少词汇才能让你表达自己?想想你平常说汉语时能用多少个单字和短语就可以得出答案。商务英语也一样。在一些商务的场合,英语比汉语的思维方式或许要简单得多,说话所用的词汇会更少,有人统计过,大约几百个已经足够了。接下来的问题就是如何在商务的场合来更熟练的运用了。
二、从发音入手
格锐英语专家还提出:在商务英语口语如何学习的问题中,加强发音水平的练习是最为关键的一步,学习商务英语口语发音的内容有三个:音、腔、调。首先要掌握单音的发音要领。单音不要搞得太细,因为单音发得再准,如果没有让外国人听着顺耳的腔也不能算地道的表达。“腔”指的是英语单词音节的轻重和在话语中高低的变化(在中国语音书上称“节奏”)。显然,发音学习的主要精力要放在腔上。此外,你必须学会外国人用语调传递信息和表达情感变化的习惯。这是学习说英语的高级境界。
三、学习方法分享
学好商务英语口语基本上没有一个快速的办法,所有的口语学习都是需要长时间练习的。首先,要有大量的阅读和听力做基础。在读和听的过程中,积累了词汇,掌握了句型,熟悉了用英语表达思想的方式,最重要的是培养了语感。
同时,学商务英语口语也需要用多种办法:如大声朗读英语对话和文章,朗读各种句型的例句和口语中最常用的句子,背诵文章及演讲,与会英语的人练口语,当然,最好与以英语为母语的人练口语。事实上,自言自语亦是练习口语的有效的方法之一。如果你把自己说的英语给录制下来,听听自己的录音,若有问题,再加以改正,效果就会更好。说英语还要有胆量。如果你能在不太能说出口,或是说不好的情况下,大胆地说。说上一段时间后,突然有一天你发现自己已经会自如、清楚地表达自己的思想。有了大胆说的精神,你才能闯过口语的难关。

开场白
许多学生认为数学是枯燥的、乏味的。一些非数学老师在听完一堂数学课后,往往这样评价:思路清晰、语言精练、解题严谨,就是太乏味、缺少趣味性,让人昏昏欲睡。那么,如何调动学生的上课积极性,引发他们的好奇心?设计好“开场白”,非常关键。下面是数学课的几个片断:
动手实验式“开场白”:桌上摆满了切成各种形状的萝卜,大伙好像还在热列地讨论着什么。老师微笑问:“同学们,用一个平面去截一个正方体,截出的面可能是什么形状?”
悬念式“开场白”:老师一上讲台,故意神神秘秘地说“你们每人随便想一个自然数,将这个数乘5减7,再把结果乘2加14”。……“你们算得的结果个位数字一定是0”。顿时教室里象炸了锅似的,……“等你学了字母表示数,你也会算了”。……
故事式“开场白”:为了让学生体会图形的边长、周长、面积在变化过程中的关系,领会列方程解应用题时,关键是捕捉到不变的量。老师先给学生讲了一个故事:父亲的羊越来越多,想拆旧羊圈扩大面积,可是没有多余的篱笆,怎么办呢?他叫来了儿子,儿子不慌不忙地说:“爸,我有办法”。“你看,旧羊圈长70米,宽30米,面积2100平方米。如果改成50米见方的新羊圈,不用添篱笆,羊圈面积就有2500平方米”。
诸如此类的还有:“贴近生活式”开场白;“设疑式”开场白;“名言式”开场白;“趣味式”开场白;“实例式”开场白;“比喻式”开场白等等。向学生提出恰当的问题,激发起学生的兴趣,提高他们学习的积极性。

B: As a rule, we don’t allow any commission.But if the order is a substantial one, we’ll consider it.一般来说,我们不允许任何佣金。但是如果订单数量可观,我们会考虑的。A: You see, but I do business on a commission basis.A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales.Even two or three percent would help.但我是在佣金的基础上做生意的。你们在价格上提供佣金将使我推销产品更加容易一些。即使2%或3%也是可以的。

我明白。你们能不能破例接受承兑交单或付款交单?
B: I’m afraid not.We insist on a letter of credit.恐怕不行,我们是坚决要求采用信用证付款。
A: To tell you the truth, a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import.When I open a letter of credit with a bank, I have to pay a deposit.That’ll tie up my money and increase my cost.老实说,信用证会增加我方进口货的成本。要在银行开立信用证,我得付一笔押金。这样会占压我的资金,因而会增加成本。
B: Consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum.你和开证行商量一下,看他们能否把押金减少到最低限度。

B: Well, Mrs.Wang, you must be aware that an irrevocable letter of cred it gives the exporter the additional protection of the banker’s guarantee.We always require L/C
商务英语口语
for our exports.And the other way round, we pay by L/C for our imports.王小姐,你应该也知道,不可撤消的信用证给出口商增加了银行的担保。我们出口一向要求采用信用证;反过来讲,我们进口也是信用证付款。
A: To meet you half way, what do you say if 50% by L/C and the balance by D/P?
我们都各让一步吧,货价的百分之五十用信用证,其余的采用付款 交单,你看怎么样?
B: I’m very sorry, Mrs.Wang.But I’m afraid I can’t promise you even that.As I’ve said, we require payment by L/C.对不起,王小姐。即便那样,我恐怕也不能答应。我都说过了,我们要求用信用证付款。
