Li: Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage.The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.Interlocutor: How about you, Mr.Wang? Is it difficult for you? Wang: Not really.You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration.So I have always found business English very interesting.Stage Two
The importance of having a good CV Well, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a good CV.In the majority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chance to impress your potential employer, let's say.It is the essential illustration of your
suitability for the job, showing how your skills and experience match your employer's
requirements.But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, essential skills in today's job market.It also shows your linguistic and

has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems.Why? Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks.They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task.And Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities.I mean certain tasks need
our prior attention.But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: That's the point.So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company? Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt? Zhang: Sure.That's what our boss is asking us to do.Right? Wang: Right.I think we've got a lot to do.First, we should make all the staff members
realize how important effective time management is to our company.Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in
supervisory positions.Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them.If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member,come up with a job description of their own.In this way, they can be pretty sure
about what they are responsible for and what they are not.Wang: Yes, that's a good idea.And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to.In this way, we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.Zhang: Good idea.So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.15

Selecting applicants for a job Working experience Personal qualities
I choose topic A-what is important when selecting applicants for a job.As to this topic, as far as I am concerned, there are 3 things to consider.First, I think working experience is very important when selecting applicants.Applicants who have already had the work experience in the relevant fields will learn the new job easier and quicker.And it will also save the company a lot of training fees if the applicant has related experience.Second, we must consider the personal qualities of the applicants, such as personality and health.Companies tend to employ people whose character fits a special job.For example, consulting company tends to employ applicant who is analytical and knowledgeable, but advertising agents like their employees to be energetic and creative.Third, I believe language is of great importance when selecting applicants.Nowadays, we do business with people from all over the world.Always we buy goods from Africa, and sell our electronic product to Europe;a foreign language especially English is needed if the company wants to expand to the world.Applicants who can speak one or more foreign languages will have a better chance to get the job.WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?(常考)

BEC口试总结(0511)
1. 原来强调的注意事项未做到位,以至于许多典型错误不断重复出现;
2. 做Part II时,可以把要让你的搭档向你提问的问题的关键词写在自己草稿提示项的最底下,双方达成默契,但不可太明目张胆。
3. 做Part III时,慎记1)每个例子的点都应该分析理由原因;2)珍惜例子,千万不要不进行理由分析时就把所有的例子全部用尽;否则你会死的很惨的,想救你都回天乏术!4. 从句永远只能用陈述句顺序;Do you think it is important to….5. 考官问句的包含的“…do you think…”由于是插入语,极其容易破坏听力的语感,解决方法是理解的时候把这三个词去掉。如:What(do you think)makes a conference interesting? 6. 表达时应该注意一些词一词多意,应该注意表达严密,如quality可以指product及service两个方面;再如service也可以指购买时及售后的服务;而promotion则可以指提高职位、提高薪资及提高销售量的多种意思; 7. 可用词或词组表达的不要用从句表达; 8. 思考时勿自言自语;
9. 做Part II时,两个人问的问题最好不要相同; 10. 11. 做Part II时,大写的单词看不惯时换写成小写。
through 及according to不是动词,不可说:we can through the internet to know the information…;12. 13. 14.
审题时应该细心,尤其应该注意一些形近词之间的差异,如:quality—quantity internet—internal 及 customer—consumer之间的区别; 查词典彻底纠正下列高频率发音错误的词并理解它们的意思: content(n)、image colleague;
potential investor,product launch;recruit from abroad;online recruitment;video conference;change product image;employment agency;leisure resort;journalist;alternative 动词不可做主语;记得应该把动词变为ing形式;
做Part III时,如果碰到包含有whether…题不易展开时,可换成辩论形式进行; 最后记住,前面做不好不要患得患失,因为后面做得好可以盖过前面不好的。

第五篇:BEC中级战后总结
BEC中级战后总结(详细经验篇)
BEC中级战后总结
考完BEC已经有一段时间了,现在歇下来该好好地写个总结,毕竟这也算得上是一个不小的考试。
准备BEC的时间并不长,但还是有点心得在里面的。
确切的说真正认真好好复习的时间只有一个多星期,但是这一个多星期的时间里还是看了很多东西,我本身并不是学BEC相关专业的,而且还差的极远,但是备考BEC教会我很多实用的东西。
关于复习的安排我是这样进行的,下面写出来希望对后面的人会有所帮助。
先说说总体情况
开始接触BEC当然是先从词汇入手,我想这应该是每个参加英语考试的人都知道的。翻开BEC的词汇你会发现它并不难,单词也并不长,只是相对来讲比较专业,特别要注意的就是我们平时已经非常熟悉的词汇,在BEC的词表里完全换了一个意思。
早早的接触单词会对你后面看书和做题有很大的帮助。
所以打算考BEC的同志们,没事儿的时候就随手翻翻生词表吧,耽误不了你多长时间的,每天没事翻翻,几天下来你就能记住一多半。
当词汇掌握差不多的时候我就用了那本人民邮电出版的《商务英语学生用书》,同时还配有同步练习和课文辅导这两本,因为准备的比较急,所以除了书我用的都是电子版,但看起来不是那么方便,因此有条件的话还是买书的好。
这本书本人认为还是很有用的,里面一共有十个单元,每个单元有两课,每一课都会介绍一种相关的商务知识,里面会含有很多常用的商务词汇和商务表达,这个时候你之前背的单词就显得尤为重要了,而这也是一个查漏补缺的过程,你已经背过并知道的就可以一带而过,不知道的用心再记一下。
另外在每个单元中间间隔的地方都会有每个单元后的同步练习和考场真练,个人觉得同步练习没有什么用,因为不是按照考试题型来的,都是随便出的一些小练习,而且相对考试来说简单很多,但是考场真练那部分,建议好好做做,很有用,完全是按照考试的题型来出的。
当你基本上通过书了解了基础的商务知识以后,再拿出报名时人手一份的那本《考生手册》,逐条好好读读,下面要做的就是针对考试,逐一复习了。在那本考生手册上囊括初中高三部分内容,考中级的同学可以翻过初级,直接看中级,后面如果你有时间,建议你把高级的也看下(只看题),我觉得很有帮助,因为中级和高级的题型是完全相同的,只是高级的干扰选项更多了,写作部分更长了而已,所以有时间还是建议做做高级的题,高级讲解部分可以不用看了。
对于中级建议看以下四部分内容:
1.考试范围:在准备考试之前你要知道那份你即将在考场上拿到的卷子里,都会涉及到那些商务知识和话题,所以先把考试范围浏览一遍,不用背下来,做到心里有数就可以了。
2.考试题型:中级考试分为四个部分,按照考试的顺序分别是:阅读、写作、听力、口语,前面三个部分一般是上午进行,口语在当天下午或者转天上午。你要知道每一个部分都考什么,评分标准是什么,做每一个部分的题都要掌握哪些技巧,关于各部分题型我后面会详细说一下。
3.真题样例:学生手册的题很宝贵,因为每个级别的题就那么一套,这个题的利用价值很高,因为是英国剑桥亲自编写的。所以这套题一定好好做,后面都有答案,但是有一个缺陷就是没有听力录音,所以听力部分只能先看看了解一下,不能做题。
4.作文范例:看过题之后,最后这本书上唯一有价值的就是作文的范例了,上面有从band0到band5的所有样例,我建议是最好只看band5的,别的都别看了,让你的脑子里只有最好的范文,这样形成一个思路,后面下笔就容易的多。
好了,这就是关于《学生手册》里主要看的内容,一定要好好重视这本书,因为这是你在考试前能够拿到的唯一一本考试真经。
好,下面进入正式复习阶段:
以下内容需要回复才能看到
在了解了商务知识,了解了题型,并且初步演练之后要做的就是逐个模块去攻克。
这时候手头准备的材料应该有新东方网络课堂和真题集,有很多人在用模拟题,我想说如果没买的同学就别买了,买了的最好也别做了,很耽误时间,那上面的题与真正考试的相差太远了,考试题比模拟难十倍都不夸张,所以过来人经验,模拟题完全没有参考价值。
关于新东方网络课堂,我个人建议好好看看,这个算是我觉得对考试帮助最大的,里面老师讲的都还是比较好的,每个部分剖析的都很全面。里面也都有配套的笔记,可以省去你自己写笔记的时间,它的重要性我相信只有看过的人才能理解。
对于真题集,目前市场上有第2辑,第3辑,第4辑,其实说实在的这三本里面的题也就第4辑的和现在考试的难度接近些,因为2,3都是以前的真题,相对来讲简单些,特别是听力,BEC考试听力是出了名的难,最难的那套真题也没有近两年的考试听力难,所以听力还是大家自己下功夫吧,这部分没有值得参考的东西。
最后如果还要准备一份材料,那就是针对口语的有一本口语真题册,蓝皮的,名字我记不太清楚了,我当时因为时间紧就没有用,而且觉得自己的口语也还可以,就省去了这部分练习,考试的时候发现很多人都拿着那本书,而且考试题型跟那本书上的很像,所以担心口语的同学可以把这本书当做是真经。
当然除了上述说的那些练习,市面上还有其他的,只不过看起来都一般般,没有太大的使用价值。我记得当时我大概看了一下《商务英语中级考试30天突破》,这本书有时间的话可以看一下,有些东西或许对某些人有帮助,我当时时间紧就没怎么细看,就是花了一个小时都不到的时间随手翻了翻。
好了,接下来我就分块说一下BEC中级考试的具体情况。
阅读部分:
阅读是BEC考试里的第一项,一般考试都是上午九点开始,阅读部分的考试时间是一个小时,里面包括五部分内容,前两项是搭配题,后面三项分别是我们大家都熟悉的单选,完型和改错。
先说搭配题,前两个搭配题相比较而言,第一项相对简单些,这部分做题是有技巧的,至于具体如何去做,新东方讲的很详细,我就不在这里多说了,记住一个真理就是每个选项都选两次就对了。第二项的搭配题较难,也是BEC中级阅读最难的部分,这部分每年的得分率很低,但是如果时间允许,多分析分析还是可以攻克下来的,我考试出来后觉得自己的阅读部分只有这项做的不是很好。所以劝大家有时间还是要多练练,形成一种语感很重要。至于后面三项因为都是大家很熟悉的项目,就没有什么太多的技巧了,四选一一般都不会很难,只要是找好定位读懂了就很容易选出答案,完型基本上都是词汇和词组的考察,与平时做的完型相反,虚词考察很少,基本都是实词,所以这里显示出词汇的重要性了,而改错则是基本上都是虚词的考察,改错比以前的简单在于错误都是多一个词,所以你只需要找出多出来的那个词就行了,一般有2-3个正确选项。
阅读的时间不是很紧,做完不成问题,有时间再好好检查,不要因粗心而丢掉分数。
写作部分:
这部分恐怕是BEC中级里面最简单的了,模式很固定,就那么几种,这部分又分为两个小部分,一个大作文一个小作文,小作文一般只让写三个要点,写40-50字的note或者memo,只要是把三个要点都写全了就没有什么问题。大作文近几年考的大部分都是report或者
proposal,极少的情况让写E-mail,大作文一般都有固定的模式,掌握好模板就很好写了。
这个的时间把握也还行,开始的时候我一直觉得时间很富裕,不紧不慢地写,到后来发现时间有点紧了,所以写作文的时候还是自己注意点时间,别像我似的前松后紧。
听力部分:
这部分是BEC里面最难的,我考听力的时候才发现竟然还是传统的录音机+卡带的形式,说实在的声音效果不是很好,而且BEC听力语速极快,近几年的题目也极难。
记得做真题的时候还觉得听力虽然难,但是还是可以应付得来,毕竟有送分的题,但是真正考试的时候才发现,哪里有送分的啊,每道题都要纠结一下才能够写出答案,不过也可能是自己练的太少的缘故,加上美音在脑子中的根深蒂固,所以听英音让我觉得极其不爽,觉得他们怎么就不能好好说话,哎……
看来想考BEC的同学,先多用BBC来洗洗自己的耳朵吧!听力这项绝对不能突击,实力最重要!尤其是第二部分,是听力里面最难的,八选五,一个选错很可能导致别的就都跟着错了,所以如果出错是很得不偿失的。
口语部分:
我想很多人都很担心这项,其实直到考试的时候才发现,这个BEC的口语考试是一个纸老虎,表面看起来很恐怖,实际上没有什么,口语考试分为三个部分:conversation,presentation,discussion。第一部分就是老师问你问题,都是很基本的问题,我觉得准备一份英文的自我介绍就都搞定了,问的问题无非就是一些姓名,学校,专业,家庭,爱好什么的,然后老师一般都会问一些商务方面的一些问题,但也都是很简单的,我记得老师当初问我的就是愿不愿意自己成立一个公司然后自己做老板,我很干脆的回答不愿意,并且做了一大堆的解释,哈哈。第二个就是做一个简短的口语表达,一分钟准备一分钟说,但是到考试的时候没有人给你计算时间,一般准备的时间其实都不到一分钟,老师觉得差不多就说开始了,我当时准备的时候就是每个方面写三四句话,比如说广告的,说市场的,说销售的,说员工素质的,说成本利润的等等。因为考试的时候时间比较紧,这一项是给你三个话题让你自己选一个,所以一定要快速的看题,我每次基本上十五秒钟把三个题扫了一遍,然后迅速确定哪个比较好说,再把自己准备好的话题往上套,其实实际上我考试的时候,根本也没用自己准备的东西,因为话题都还是比较简单的,所以就随口说了。其实仔细看看那些话题会发现你都有的说,说是让你说一分钟,其实到真正考试的时候,老师也会不耐烦,我觉得我当时也就说了半分多就让我停了。所以这一项不用担心。
最后一项就是讨论部分了,这部分成败关键不是在于你自己,因为这是唯一一项和别人一起合作的口语考试,老师会给你一个卡片,上面有一堆文字,主要是先说一个商务背景,然后给两三个讨论的要点,这部分时间很紧,只有十五秒钟,看题+准备,这十五秒钟看题都看不完,更别提准备了。所以和你的partner提前培养默契是很有必要的。考试的时候一般都会提前分好组,你会和你的partner有很长的时间在一起准备,你们可以互相熟悉彼此的口音,也可以培养一下默契,还可以随便找个题练练,其实这部分你就把它当成是很简单的谈话就不会紧张了,考试的时候看着你的partner,别理老师也别看老师就不会紧张,老师都
很仁慈的,就算你们说着说着无话可说,老师看出来就会让你们停的。
总之,BEC口语老师都很nice,所以我们都不必紧张,而且由于口语有很多地方都是当地审核,不送到剑桥,所以一般都不会在口语上卡人的,大家请放心,记住一点,只要是你整个口语考试的过程中没有冷场,不停的说就不会通不过。
四部分基本上情况大致讲完了,具体的详细细节还是建议看新东方的网络课堂,很权威也很详细,会解答你心中很多的疑问,就算你的时间再紧别的都看不了也一定要看《学生手册》和新东方的网络课堂,这两个是我认为整个BEC里最重要的也是价值最高的了。
BEC是一个说难不难说简单也不是很简单的考试,只要是方法掌握对了不用复习多长时间也能通过,方法不对复习多久都过不了,所以复习BEC讲究的还是技巧,最后希望大家都能够顺利通过考试,不管以后从事这类或不从事这类职业,多一个这样的国际证书都是没有什么坏处的,起码向公司证明了你的英语能力和处理问题的应变能力,祝大家成功!
