BEC口语

问过姓名之后，就是Where are you from？

这道题，我的考场都是正确反应：

I am from Sichuan, China.

其它考场有的人说I'm from Ren Min University.答成了自己的学校。

第一部分有两套题，其中那个第一套题和去年一样，没有变化：

Work or Studies:

- What you find most interesting about your job or course

- About your future career plans

- Why you decided to learn English

- About your ideal kind of employer *

- Why you chose your particular career

- About the place where you work or study. *

其中画有*的题目有的考生没有理解。ideal kind of employer不一定需要考生是有工作的，因为它在问“你理想的雇主具有哪些特点”，即使是在校生，也可以发表自己的意见、有的可说；学习或工作的地方，有的人没有思路，有的人有思路但是调理不清楚,用词也没有注意到质量。下面是比较好的答案：

- About your ideal kind of employer *

Well, for me, I would like to join a company where there are well-developed training programs for young people. After all, money is not higly prioritized for someone fresh from school. Rather, gaining experience and qualification would be more important.

其中In my opinion, opinion的发音有的人读错，重音、卷舌音乱来；As far as I'm conerned 有的人说成了as far as I am concern, 这也是错的。

- About the place where you work or study. *

I am a student in the Renmin University and I study fianance in the School of Finance. What I am most proud of my university is the prestige, which has been built over years with joint efforts from the school administration, professors and scholars as well as from business owners. ...

Type 2 Could you tell me

- How important you think imports are for people in your country

imports 的含义有些考生没有理解，那就是“进口”；理解后，也有人回答的不扣题。大部分人都能想到引进先进技术，但是英文的表述欠缺，下面这个回答较好：Needless to say, imports play an essential role in economic development of China. In 1980s, China has just started the open-door policy and imports and exports started to become more dynamic. There are three significant aspects impacted by imports. The first one is in culture. Imported TV programs from Japan, US and some European countries brighten up the TV screens. The earliest ones include A Xin, produced in Japan, which is a biography of a ternacious woman named A Xin, who thrived the ups and downs in her life through hard-working. Another one , Man fromt the Atlantis, produced in the US, is a science fiction.

The 2nd aspect is in commodities. Brand names such as Maxim, a French brand, and McDonald's, the fast food chain, entred the Chinese market. Later on, a lot of other well-known big names followed suit.

Lastly, new technologies in car-making, information technologies were also imported initially, though numerous solutions and innovations have been developed locally by Chinese later on.

- What you think the advantages are for people in your country of spending time working abroad

这个题目许多人都能想到开阔眼界等，用词也比较俗

Working abroad offers a variety of benefits to people in general, including the Chinese.

Firslty, it allows people to get a global vision, which is an assets nowadays, when globalisation is taking place at a rapid rate. Specifically speaking, it is not uncommon to find foreign companies in China or doing business with Chinese counterparts. A global perspective will certainly help communications among multi-national team members.

Secondly, people can sharpen their English language skills. Needless to say, English is the working language in the world and working in another contry enables people to get more exposure language-wise. It is obvious that the workers would use the language to serve a purpose in their job, rather than learning it from a text book. Such practice of language will certainly polish their English.

Last but not least, people may understand different cultures better. When living and working abroad, people hava an opportunity to closely observe the local way of life, to be more exact, how people handle their daily tasks and how they do so differently between cultures. Something as simple as cutting a grape fruit could demonstrate such a difference.

- Whether you think the use of mobile phones for business is always positive in your country 这个题目有一个陷阱：always,哪里有一成不变的事情呢？所以客观的回答应该说手机在工作中大多数情况下是有用的，但是它也有一些不利于工作的地方。

Generally, mobile phones are quite useful in daily work. As known to all, people send text message, exchange emails and check maps on cell phones, which come in quite handy. However, I wouldn't say it is ALWAYS useful. A case in point is that when people attend meetings ,they get distracted by the messages on their cell phones, not to mention phone calls which are not urgent nor important. Besides distraction, it increases stress for cell phone users. People are on call all the time, which resulted in a dim line between life and work. By that I mean, employees are always on the work mode. Gradually, stress may lead to reduced productivity.

- How important you think language training will be in your country in future

这道题很不容易答出彩，大多数人都去说成英语的培训，而题目是讨论“语言培训”。所以，可以说中文的培训、沟通技巧、邮件、手机短信中的语言规范化等等，甚至是商务应用文的写作等等。

其它比较集中的问题有：

image, product的重音应该是Image, PROduct；

important 的替换词。

此次考试答得综合比较好的是学德语和阿拉伯语的同学，两个男生，英语专业的只有一个还比较好，其他人举例高级的要求还有些差距。总之，在我经手的14对考生中，10对左右时通过口语考试的。

回顾1：

第一部分：1.让我谈工作/学习情况，以及对将来工作规划；

2.第二个问题忘了。。。MMD考官发音很含糊。。。

第二部分：怎么样管理能让团队更加富有效率。忘了是不是团队，反正是怎么管理能让。。。更有效率。。。

谈了三点，时间管理time management , finish the work on time

人员选择:select the expeienced sales maneger to lead the team,

成本控制：consider about the budget

第三部分抽到那个建立新销售团队然后评估的

大概是这样，发上来攒个RP。。。希望帮到大家。

回顾2：

第一部分就自我介绍，然后老师问了下你认为学习英语的重要性。然后是一个问题：what brand name means to chinese,好像是这个意思，我竟然说了一句chinese think old is good。。。把自己都汗住了

第二部分三个题，我只记住了自己回答的那个。。。是communication:the importance of a in-house company magazine

第三部分的discussion是关于how to built a new sales team...最后这个搭档说的蛮好，我是说的一塌糊涂。。。

回顾3：

北大考场的~~

Part1 ~1.Where are you from?

~2.Talk something about your job or study and your future plan.(partner的是ideal employer)

~3.How do you think is working life changing in China?

Part2 ~project management:factors involved in running a project effectively

part3 ~Your company which runs fast food restaraunt have achieved record revenue and is condidering to expand.

1.in what way can it expand effectively

2.what benefit can the company get from outside expertise

后面问的问题有：1.what will happen if a company grow too fast?

2.what should be consider when a company wants to expand in another country?

主考官问了我第二个问题，我死活听不出'in another country'中的…another?, pardon了两次都没听懂，最后考官无奈地给我换了另外一题，当时就慌了，题目就记不清了，。考官会不会觉得我在变相地质疑她的发音啊？

回顾4：

我是第二场题卡上写了个2

第一部分What do you like most about your major and what's your ideal employer

Do you think the working life has changed in china

第二部分The importance of having an internal magazine in the communication of different departments

The importance of having both permenant employees and temperary employees in a company

还有一个记不得了抱歉

第三部分因为企业扩张要新建一个sales representitve的团队，问题是要给他们什么support 还有就是如何measure the performance

追加的问题是Would you like to manage a sales team and why还有do you think it is important to have a feedback system when managing a sales team

回顾5：

我的题目：Part1，talk something about your work or study place

BEC高级口语素材——美国商业跨文化交流 Lesson Three ·Cross-Cultural Communication in US Business ·美国商业跨文化交流 Part I Objectives 2Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences ·中西文化差异的6种基本模式 2 A general view of corporate culture ·公司文化概要 2Decoding body-language ofNorth America ·破解北美通用肢体语言 Part II The How-Tos Identify the Differences ：Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences 了解不同：中西文化差异的六种基本模式 1.Different Communication Styles 不同的交流风格 The way people communicate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of communication style is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I'll consider it" to "definitely so," with many shades in between. Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups. 2.Different Attitudes Toward Conflict 对待冲突的不同看法 Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict. 3.Different Approaches to Completing Tasks 对待完成任务的不同方法 From culture to culture, there are different ways that people move toward completing tasks. Some reasons include different access to resources, different judgments of the rewards associated with task completion, different notions of time, and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together. When it comes to working together effectively on a task, cultures differ with respect to the

BEC中级口语(整理版)

BEC中级口语 第一讲 Ⅰ Presentation Example PART 2: Mini-presentation A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? Selecting applicants for a job W orking experience P ersonal qualities Sample 1 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. Sample 2 As we all know, the criteria used by HR professionals in screening and selecting applicants normally include such factors as working experience, personal qualities and communicative skills. Firstly, we pay a lot of attention to working experience of the applicant. A person with a solid record of related experience is more likely to fit in with a new company. Therefore he or she can be trusted to fulfill the tasks and solve the problems in a more professional and competent way. In addition to this, we also look at the personal qualities of the applicant. Does he or she has integrity, perseverance or ‘can do’spirit? Surely any organization can benefit from the reliability, devotion and enthusiam of its employees. Finally, good communicative skills such as interpersonal skills and team spirit are also becoming an important precondition in selecting qualified employees. B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? Preparing for a job interview S tudying the job advertisement Finding out about the company Before you go for an interview, you must make preparations so as to face the interviewer with more confidence. They include studying the job advertisement, finding out about the company, preparing yourself psychologically, etc.

BEC高级口语备考重点

2009年BEC商务英语考试口语备考重点 众所周知，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。针对这种情况，必须从下列方面准备。BEC作为商务英语考试，要求具备一定的商务背景知识，不要求很精深，但一定要有个大致的了解。因为广大BEC考生普遍英语基础较好(指语法，语音，基本词汇的运用)，但对商务词汇与概念深感隔行如隔山，第一重点就是商务词汇的扩展。当然词汇的问题决不是简单的死背词汇表，这种方法不会导致对词汇的深刻理解，灵活运用必然也大打折扣。比较好的方法是在读解分析范文时，注意商务词汇在文中的运用，把好的词汇结合句子一道背诵，然后在自己练习时有意地使用，才能学以致用。总之，词汇量的多少决定着英语水平高低。这就像一两滴水对环境没有什么影响，但当千千万万滴水形成湖、汇成海后就足以影响气候一样。 第二重点是针对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。 第三，要注重积累商务案例。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。 第四点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。

BEC口语模板精华

第一部分：personal information 常用语句： 1.I beg your pardon? / I am sorry, but I didn’t quite catch you. Would you please repeat what you’ve just said? 2. 常见问题： 1. Can you tell me something about youself? (自我介绍) Good afternoon! My name is Jolin Chow. I graduated from National University of Defense Technology with a master's degree in Engineering. I am a National Registered First-Class Construction Engineer, and work in Guangsha Construction Group Cooperation Limited. 2．What kind of person would you say you are? I think I am an out-going person with a strong will and I am confident and positive, always working hard and sparing no effort to achieve my goals. But sometimes I am impulsive, not calm enough, which is one of my major drawbacks. 3．Can you tell me something about your friends? I have a large circle of friends. They are all open-minded, diligent and smart. We have a lot of common interests and help each other in times of difficulties. 4. Could you introduce your work in detail? Do you like your current job? My main job is to coordinate the interests of all parties, and check the progress and quality of the project in order to carry out the plan. I like my current job very much, because this work allows me to enlarge my knowledge as well as my eyes. . 5. What has been your most valuable experience? As regards my most valuable experience, I suppose it should be that I I got the certificate of National Registered First-Class Construction Engineer last year. At that time, I really felt that hard work pays off. 6. How important is it to you to have opportunities for promotion in your career? No one would prefer to stay in one position for the whole life. Certainly I am not exception. Promotion is of vital importance to me, for I want to realize the value of life. 7. Is it better for your career to stay in one company or to work for a number of companies? As I see it, the proverb “a rolling stone gathers no moss” really holds water. So I prefer to stay in one company and grow with the company. 8. How important is English in business life in your company? In fact, English is playing an important role in China’s business life; it is an essential skill for those who are engaged in foreign trade. I know that I'm not proficient in English, so I study English hard. And I hope to improve my English to go

官方详解BEC高级口试考试流程

官方详解BEC高级口试考试流程 官方详解BEC高级口试part1考试流程 作者：嘟嘟老师 沪江小编：BEC口试，是不少BEC考生的心头大患。对考试流程的陌生，又增加了对口试的恐惧。万一听不懂考官的提问怎么办？万一问题不会回答怎么办？小编根据剑桥官方提供的BEC口试现场视频，为你详解BEC口试中需要注意的地方，以及暗藏的窍门。 BEC考试总体流程是：阅读、写作、听力、口语。 口语被安排在最后一门考。一般情况下，BEC口语考试会安排在考试当天下午；也有个别考点，由于考生人数众多，会将部分考生安排在考试第二天上午进行口语考试。 BEC高级的口语考试时间为16分钟左右。从考试时间就可以看出，BEC高级口语的难度还是相当高的。原则上是两人一组进行考试。如果考生人数出现奇数时，最后一组为三人一组进行考试，考试时间延长至22分钟。 BEC口试第一部分为自我介绍部分。在这一部分中，考官会分别向考生提问，问题关于考生的工作、学习和生活。然后，考官会就商务话题，向考生提问1-2个问题。 Part1视频详解： 考官自我介绍：两位考官，一位负责提问，一位负责评分。评分的考官（assessor）按

以下四个标准给分：语法和词汇、谈话组织、发音、互动式交流。提问的考官（interlocutor）对整个测试给个总分。 考官向考生收回评分表: May I have your mark sheets please? 口语考试正式开始—— 考官提问考生姓名，家乡：What's your name? Where are you from?工作还是学生？Do you work or are you a student? 学生：What do you like most about your studies? Why you choose the study? 工作：What do you like most about your work? What's your ambition? 小编注：这一部分主要是寒暄，目的就是为了让考生放松下来，不要太紧张。同时，考官在这一部分的时候，已经可以大致了解到考生的语音面貌如何了。当然，考生也要好好利用这一部分的考试来熟悉考官的语音、语速（在中国绝大部分的考点，考官都是中国人，不过发音都是很标准的，这一点大家不用担心）；也要更加适应自己的partner的语音语速，并且培养和partner的默契。 考官关于商务方面的提问： 考官问考生A：Could you tell me how important you think imports and exports are to Germany? 考官问考生B：Could you tell me what effect you think advertising has on people? 小编注：不知道大家有没有注意到女生回答问题的时候其实突然卡住说不出话了，这位女生在应急方面做得相当好，马上随机应变继续说了下去。所以同学们平时就要准备好应急用的话，比如说“in other words / or we can say / it is like /...”

完整word版,BEC高级口语真题答案

A.客户关系：让客户感到受到重视的重要性 B.公司发展：控制公司扩张的重要性 C.营销：如何确保公司的代理商始终保持高效率 PART 2 A. Customer relations: the importance of making customers feel valued. In my opinion, maintaining good customer relations is of vital importance to a business. If not, you may have no way to sell your products or services to customers. Then, there is no chance for you to make money. In order to establish good relations with your customers, you should make customers feel valued. There are a number of ways to make them feel valued. Firstly, you should have a friendly attitude toward them and show respect for them. From time to time, ask them for their opinions and suggestions for improvement of your products or services. Secondly, provide them with good after-sale service. When they run into some problems or difficulties, offer them with help as soon as possible. When something has gone wrong with your products they have purchased, send your technicians as soon as possible. B. Company growth: the importance to a company of controlling expansion As we know, every company nowadays seeks for growth and development in order to survive in the highly competitive world. But we have to remember that expansion should be made in a controlled manner, because, if not, serious problems will be brought about, or even worse, a great threat will be caused to the survival of the company. For instance, a department store in our city used to be very prosperous before it sought for expansion. A few years ago, it began establishing branch stores in other cities throughout the province. Within a period of two years, scores of branches had been sep up in and outside the province. At first, business was okay and everything went well. Then, some problems began to occur due to lack of funds and skilled managerial staff. A couple of years later, the department store simply went bankrupt. This is a lesson for us to learn. C. Marketing: how to ensure that agents maintain a high level of effectiveness when representing a company. As we all know, signing an agency agreement with a firm is a customary practice in marketing. In order to ensure they maintains a high level of effectiveness, I think, firstly make an attractive encouragement program, that is, to set up clear target for the agent. If the agent reaches the set target, a decent reared will be offered. If he fails to do so, he will not get the commission. Second, check and supervise the process or progress of the marketing campaign launched by your agent. If something has gone wrong, immediately correct it. If your agent runs into difficulties, you should offer a hand without any delay. In other words, let your agent know that he is trusted and he is not working alone. PART 3 A.Our company is planning to introduce a suggestion scheme so as to encourage staff members at all levels to contribute ideas and suggestions. Do you have any ideas as to the ways of setting up such a scheme so that all staff can make contributions? B. I have heard of that. I think this is quite good for the future development of our company. As for ways of setting up such a scheme, the first step come to my mind is to get a group of people together to organize a committee. The major task for them is to draw up some staff members. A. That’s sounds good. But who do you think should be chosen as the member of the committee? The head of each department, or some professional people from outside? B.Some department leaders can be included, but not every one of them. We may select a couple of senior consultants of our company to be put on the committee. And ordinary staff members should also be represented in the committee, so that voices from shop floors can heard. A. Yeah. I think each department may prepare a box for collecting ideas and the box should be put at a place where all staff can have an easy access. A special column can be created on the company’s website for idea collection since internet is almost available for all staff members. B. As for the evaluation of suggestions, of course it is the committee that will have the final say. The committee is supposed to draw up specific standards for the sake of evaluating, quantitative and financial standards, for instance. A. You are right. And specific rewards should be also be announced to all members of staff so as to encourage them to offer valuable suggestions….
