外贸函电 课程设计报告08110811 叶允嘉 0811081140
外贸函电课程设计报告
一、课程设计目的通过外贸函电实践性的模拟练习,加深对外贸函电理论的理解和运用。了解并熟悉外贸进出口的关键步骤,如建立业务关系、询盘、报盘、还盘、成交、装运等的模拟,以在今后的实际应用中熟练使用函电的写作技巧和缮制合同、信用证、汇票、装箱单、提单等单据。
二、课程设计内容
1.课程设计的总体方案布置:根据背景资料拟写建交信并进行进出口报价核算。
2.根据客户发来的传真及商品资料发盘并进行综合报价还价核算。
3.拟写还盘函,根据背景资料和往来函电实例缮制销售确认书。
4.根据合同审核信用证并写一份改证函了解装船通知。
5.根据信用证及所提供的资料编制汇票、发票、装箱单、重量尺码单位作为银行议付单据的一部分。
三、课程设计要求
1.掌握建立交易信函的操作技能。
2.掌握出口价格核算的要点。
3.掌握出口还价核算的要点。
4.掌握缮制合同的要点。
5.掌握信用证要点,掌握缮制改证函的要点。
6.掌握单据的填制。
四、课程设计中遇到的难题以及解决办法
课程设计中最大的难点莫过于进出口合同的订立和填写各种单据。
平时有拟写中文合同的经验,一般都是要根据一些模板在根据实际情况改动条款。而一份合同的关键在于措辞的严谨与高明。在拟写英语进出口合同时,一开始有一种无从下手的感觉,但是参考指导书后面章节合同写法,经过前后比对,终于完成了合同的编写。
各种单据上的表述和信用证上的表述有差异,这是使填写各种单据成为难点的主要原因,另外信用证各种信息分散较广,也给单据填写增加了难度。不过,将发票填完时,后面的几封单据就变得容易了很多。不过有些信息,还是很难在信用证里找出。各种单据填写时,有很多时候要用到大写,我就差点把日期写成一般的写法,后来还是发现问题,改正了出来。
五、体会
在写外贸函电的时候就需要额外的注意很多细节,概括起来,遵循5个C原则。
Completeness——一封商业信函应概况了各项必需的事项,如邀请信应说明时间、地点等,确忌寄出含糊不清的信件。
Consideration——写信时要处处从对方的角度去考虑有什么需求,而不是从自身出发,语气上更尊重对方。
Courtesy——语言要有礼且谦虚,及时地回信也是礼貌的表现。Conciseness——避免废话连篇、避免不必要的重复、多进行短句、单词的运用。
Clarity——意思表达明确,要注意:避免用词错误、注意词语所放的位置、注意句子的结构。
《外贸函电》是一门模仿性、实践性、操作性都很强的课程,不通过练习实践,很难加深认识,巩固所学知识。只有进行大量的有针对性的反复操练,尤其是外贸业务各个环节设计特定情景进行反复操作,进行各种类型的练习,我们才能熟练掌握运用外贸业务这些常用的句型、词汇和短语以达到能够正确翻译并能拟写同类信函的目的。通过这次学习,我对外贸函电的各种相关信函和单据有了一个更加深入的了解,也对其熟练度大有提升,经过这次实训,使我们专业技能得到一个很好强化的训练机会,使我们在今后的实践中更加得心应手。
