名師指導(dǎo)BEC中高級寫作

商務(wù)英語證書（BUSINESS

ENGLISH

CERTIFICATE）是教育部考試中心和英國劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會合作，于1993年起舉辦的考試。它在很大程度上借用了雅思的一些出題思路。在接下來的文章中，我們從官方介紹中尋找該考試的目的，并講解中高級寫作的一般方式，以及通過官方提供的樣文來分析BEC考試的作文評分方式。

首先，我們先解析中華人民共和國教育部考試中心對BEC考試的介紹。“該系列考試是一項(xiàng)語言水平考試，根據(jù)公務(wù)或商務(wù)工作的實(shí)際需要，對考生在一般工作環(huán)境下和商務(wù)活動(dòng)中使用英語的能力從聽、說、讀、寫四個(gè)方面進(jìn)行全面考查，對成績及格者提供由英國劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會頒發(fā)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)統(tǒng)一的成績證書。該證書由于其頒發(fā)機(jī)構(gòu)的權(quán)威性，在英國、英聯(lián)邦各國及歐洲大多數(shù)國家的商業(yè)企業(yè)部門 獲得認(rèn)可，成為確認(rèn)證書持有者英語能力證明的首選證書，同時(shí)也是在所有舉辦該項(xiàng)考試的國家和地區(qū)求職的”通行證“。

商務(wù)英語證書考試（BEC）由中英雙方合辦。英國劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會負(fù)責(zé)命題，閱卷，頒發(fā)證書。中國教育部考試中心負(fù)責(zé)報(bào)名、印制試卷和組織考試。

BEC 中級寫作45分鐘、；BEC 高級 寫作70分鐘……考試答題卡由教育部考試中心海外考試處匯集后寄英國劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會評卷。評出成績后BEC 中級分A、B、C、D、E五等；BEC 高級分A、B、C、D、E五等，），打印成績通知單（包括不及格的D、E、Fail）和成績證書，寄至教育部考試中心后寄發(fā)各考點(diǎn)向考生頒發(fā)?！?/p>

從這段文字中，我們可以看出，BEC考試不是考專業(yè)的商務(wù)知識，而是“一般中做環(huán)境下和商務(wù)活動(dòng)中”的語言應(yīng)用。所以，語言的本身功夫才是考核的重點(diǎn)。夯實(shí)語言基礎(chǔ)在寫作考試中起著決定性的作用。

第二，中級考試作文兩個(gè)部分：小作文，memo，note，email，和message，一般是公司內(nèi)部交流。大作文，correspondence，report，proposal。高級：小作文，圖表。大作文中級相似。這里要指出的是，和國內(nèi)四六級考試的作文評分方式有很多不同的地方。特別是不表類文章。BEC的考試文章對格式要求是比較嚴(yán)格的。

第三，作文總的做題方式。

1、提綱所示內(nèi)容一定要以明確方式體現(xiàn)在文章當(dāng)中。這是判斷是否完成任務(wù)，是否偏題的依據(jù)。所以，提綱的內(nèi)容改編成中心句體現(xiàn)在文章中這是必要的。

2、其次是邏輯，即英文的邏輯是建立在形式邏輯上的。文章中得出現(xiàn)上下承接的詞匯。如，我們工作失誤，向你道歉。應(yīng)該改為：因?yàn)槲业墓ぷ魇д`，所以向您道歉。

3、結(jié)構(gòu)上應(yīng)該是中心句＋1、2、3的模式。即，文章的第一段一定是中心段，作者的觀點(diǎn)和文章的要旨得在第一段得以體現(xiàn)，之后是分支觀點(diǎn)，每段的第一句是中心句，后面是支持這一中心的論據(jù)而已。

4、英文是定量語言。也就是說，不能僅僅依靠一個(gè)名人的話語就可以決定觀點(diǎn)的正確，得有推論，得有例證。

5、要避免簡單但嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤，如主謂一致、單復(fù)數(shù)問題、時(shí)態(tài)、簡單詞的拼寫，和搭配。這些錯(cuò)誤看似簡單，但十分嚴(yán)重。在英國人的這套考試體系中，是要檢測的是有著良好英文修養(yǎng)的人在一般商務(wù)情況下的語言英語。在我們看來很簡單的錯(cuò)誤，如，we are student.這僅僅是單復(fù)數(shù)問題，在考官看來卻能證明考試缺乏基本的英文修養(yǎng)。所以，夯實(shí)基礎(chǔ)是必要的。

6、用詞上不一定要用大詞匯，考官要的是variety。也就是用詞的多樣性。同一個(gè)意思的詞在原文出現(xiàn)多次，那么要盡可能換為它的近義表達(dá)，或者改編詞性出現(xiàn)，這是所有英文考試作文部分都要看的。

第四，下面我們用人民郵電出版社出的BEC真題集中的樣文來進(jìn)一步分析說明考官的關(guān)注點(diǎn)和評分點(diǎn)。這是市面上不多的，由劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會直接編寫和評述的樣文，仔細(xì)分析，更有利于發(fā)現(xiàn)問題。（例一：《劍橋BEC真題集 第3輯 高級》，劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會，人民郵電出版社，2006年9月第一版；例二：《劍橋BEC真題集 第3輯 中級》，劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會，人民郵電出版社，2006年9月第一版）

例一 Question

The Chief Executive of your company is concerned that staff morale seems to have deteriorated and has invited suggestions for making improvements.Write a proposal to the Chief Executive：

suggestion why morale is low

outlining the effects of low morale

proposing some ways of improving morale

indicating any disadvantages of your proposal.Sample A(4分)

Introduction： This proposal aims at showing why staff morale has deteriorated and suggests ways of improving the current situation.Findings： Apart from most superiors? opinion that their subordinates are not happy with their job and have developed a low moral towards it due to unsatisfactory salaries and not enough fringe benefits，a survey among the workforce has shown that the real reasons for this problem are to be found elsewhere.Many of the employees mentioned their fixed working hours and yet constantly changing amounts of incoming orders，whichleads to boredom at work on some days and pure stress on others.But even more staff members have complaint about constant organizational changes without ever getting the information of what exactly will changed beforehand.The effects can be noticed in every department of the company.Superiors and department directors say that their subordinates are not willing to do any extra work and are absolutely not open for any changes.Recommendations： It is suggested that the first step towards a better work atmosphere be the introduction of flexi time.That way the employees can leave earlier when there isn?t much work to do and stay longer when the amount of work rises.The problem of organizational changes should be tackled in three different ways.First of all superiors are to be encouraged to pass more information on to the workforce，secondly the employees should become more involved in the decision making process and at last there should be annual feed backs by the employees about their superiors.The downside of these actions is that they are quite time consuming and this of course leads to more costs but on the other hand there will be less fluctuation.文章結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，語言自然。文章組織和前后鏈接好。盡管有少許語言錯(cuò)誤，但應(yīng)該是高分檔次。具體來說，看結(jié)構(gòu)，該文第一段就說明了proposal的目的，論證過程introduction-findings-recommendations。西方文化是講求程序化的，也就是說這個(gè)引言――論證――結(jié)論是固定的結(jié)構(gòu)，這樣才能讓考官清晰的看到作者的意圖和布局。

Sample B(2 分)

The employe?s moral is at a very low level and get deteriorated over the last year.There are some reasons for that：

---First of all，the market is not growing which means that nobody is seeing how things could go better and nothing is moving forward.---There are more and more cost?s controls and in an other hand，employees can see other departments spending money for “useless” furnitures.---Customers are requesting more and more and employes have the feeling they have to do more relationship，politic tan real technical work..Because of those，people are spending time by shouting around against customers，company and colleagues.They are criticizing others，sometimes to times they answer “badly” to customer and their job?s quality is falling down.The proposals to fight against these and to go back to the high quality with motivated employes are：

---Management should handle the political part out of the employe?s hob.Employes have to stay focused on their core competency，the technical things.---By implementing web based training employes could spent their “shouting” time to train themselves from their desk to improve their knowledge and to make their job better.By this，company avoid any extra costs for accommodations，travel and time spend in training classes.These measure bring more workload on Management and more time spent with employes and customers.Web based training means less time spent on “real” work because of the tie needed to learn and assimil the course? contents.該文用了足夠詞匯來回答問題，做到提綱要求的延伸。但語言錯(cuò)誤明顯，表述目的不明，結(jié)構(gòu)混亂。以上畫線部分是很明顯的錯(cuò)誤，還沒包括一些搭配錯(cuò)誤等。結(jié)構(gòu)上，該文的中心放在了中間段落，目的不清晰，總結(jié)和推論混為一談。

例二，Your department needs to recruit more staff.Your line manager wants you to write a report explaining your requirements and commenting on recruitment methods.Look at the information below，on which you have already made some handwritten notes.Then，using all your handwritten notes，write your report.Write 120-140 words.Sample1(5分)

Report on staff recruitment

As our company is developing several new products，the department of R&D needs new staff urgently to help design and monitor our products.Thus we need to recruit 35 new staff，including electrical engineers and product developers.All of them should have at least two years ? experience in relevant field.More specific requirements will finally be decided in a few days.As to recruitment methods，the disadvantage of relying on recruitment agency is that we need more time and procedure than we can afford.So I suggest we turn to a more direct way of Newspaper advertisement，which has been used many times and proved effective.Comparing the two newspaper，Echo and Chronicle，we prefer the former because though it charges ？500 more than the latter，the general readers are 400，000 more，most of whom are highly-educated.We are sure to get reply soon after we launch the recruitment campaign.該文觀點(diǎn)清晰，提綱要求全部達(dá)到，通順易懂，盡管有少量語言錯(cuò)誤，但不影響它的清晰表達(dá)。

Sample2（2分）

Recruit Require new staff

I am sun Lee from production department.This report is provide to Human Resources department manger to explain our requirement and comment on recruitment method.Finding

In order to improve our company productivity，our department needs 10 higher skill worker.And because of last year，our department have 15 workers leave this company due to there personal reason so，now we need 35 staff.We need ten higher skill worker with high degree and others worker should be female.Recommedation We have 3 ways to recruitment.First is recruitment agency.We use this before.the expenditure is very expensive，and people that provided is not very suitable.Second is online recruitment.We never use this method before，so we can not say this is good or not.However，online recruitment，sometime the resources is unblieveable.Last one is newspaper advertisement.We used many times before，and we have two better newspaper，one is Echo，the other is Chronicle.The cost of advertisement on the newspaper is ￡25，00 and ￡2，000.Even the cost of advertisement on Echo is expensive is higher than Chronicle，the numbers sold on each day is more than Chronicle，is 600，000，the wide rage that the Echo covered is large.So，we decide use Newspaper advertisement，and name of newspaper is Echo.Thank you！

題目要求的要點(diǎn)基本談及到，結(jié)構(gòu)是不錯(cuò)的，文章中也使用了表示承接關(guān)系的連接詞，但是不斷的重復(fù)和過多的語言錯(cuò)誤讓讀者難以理解文章。

從這兩篇中級文章，我們可以看出，盡管第二篇結(jié)構(gòu)似乎更清晰，但語言上的錯(cuò)誤仍然讓考官難以容忍。

從上面的官方例文我們可以看出，1、ＢＥＣ寫作考試對商務(wù)知識考得不是很多，大多只需涉及基本的一些觀念就行了；２、提綱所示必須以明確方式體現(xiàn)在文章中；３、語言的基本功底很重要，越是高級考試，越難以容忍簡單的基礎(chǔ)性語言錯(cuò)誤；４、每種文體的結(jié)構(gòu)是有限制的，一定得按照相應(yīng)的商務(wù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)去謀篇布局，也就是，“八股文”的形式是不應(yīng)該有大的改變的。

綜上所述，BEC寫作的考點(diǎn)很明確：規(guī)定的商務(wù)英語文章的格式，中心＋1、2、3的表述方式是清晰表達(dá)的必然要求（中心即提綱要求，1、2、3是指表達(dá)邏輯關(guān)系的連接詞），無錯(cuò)的英文表達(dá)是合格和優(yōu)秀的基礎(chǔ)。
