BEC口試總結(jié)完整版
口試總結(jié)061
21. 完美做好第二部分互動-notes的字寫大寫清晰
2. 記住對如何點,especially第三部分,務(wù)必務(wù)必進行原因的分析,整個BEC的考試即是
對所述的點進行原因分析的過程;
3. 回答問題過程中盡量不要復(fù)述原題的內(nèi)容,可用so、it之類的替代詞進行替代――因為
復(fù)述往往會出現(xiàn)錯誤,并且浪費時間;
4. 一些常見的錯誤表達:
1)facilities雖然字面的意思為設(shè)備,但其實際的意思為“a system that makes a particular
activities possible”、“a place or building for a particular activity”,因此,其意思為配套設(shè)施,如大學(xué)的facilities指圖書館、操場等。
2)慎用famous,最好用well-known;
3)always not為錯誤表達法,用never;
4)We can through…we must according to…the staff must to know為錯誤表達法,因為情
態(tài)助動詞后只能跟動詞原形,不可跟介詞或不等式。
5.下列詞匯的發(fā)音應(yīng)該非常注意:(老是有些人屢教不改)
imageapplicantcompetitioncompetitive
口試總結(jié)0606
1. 下列單詞發(fā)音許多學(xué)員讀誤(拼錯或重音錯誤)
think讀成sink;representative,image,mutual,client,potential,luxury, bonus;premise;candidate, scheme,content(n.), corporate(a發(fā)音為【i】),enthusiasm, subcontract, reliability, applicant, appropriate
2.下列幾組詞發(fā)音或意思混淆
value—cost;capital—cost;display—exhibition;staff—employee;internet---intranet;
corporate—cooperate;I can’t agree with you more.---I can’t agree with you any more.3.Part III圍繞兩個點展開討論,You must give reasons for your opinions and decisions.除了
兩個大點外,不可再自行加題外的點;另切記:該部分務(wù)必“點對題 原因分析對點”。
4.How開頭的疑問句必須先回答看法再展開原因的表述。重申特殊疑問句不可回答Yes這
樣的習(xí)慣口頭禪。
5.考官提問的問題的形容詞及副詞包含對被修飾的詞的限制,務(wù)必聽清楚并根據(jù)內(nèi)容回答如:Should companies provide leisure facilities…? Should companies provide this kind of information regularly…?
6.考慮表述的點時,以下三組可以參考:人-錢;時間-地點;硬件-軟件;但要做適當(dāng)改變
時間及內(nèi)容安排:必須把要表述的內(nèi)容在規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)表述完畢,因此言簡意賅、抓住關(guān)鍵點最為重要!
常犯非言語方面的錯誤:
1. 動作勿把手放在臉部,尤其是腮邊;
2. 提問搭檔及第三部分討論時搭檔間要有眼神的接觸;
3. 勿從頭到尾看講稿進行表述,需有事與主問考官偶爾有眼神的接觸;
4.習(xí)慣性的不適合考試要求的口頭禪要去掉,如有的同學(xué)會有漢語的口頭禪,有的同學(xué)不
管被問的問題是特殊疑問句或一般疑問句都帶有yes的回答;
5. 不可出現(xiàn)任何漢語;留意不可出現(xiàn)漢語口頭禪或漢語語氣次;
6. 避免音量太??;
提高靈活性:
1. 聽不懂的時候應(yīng)根據(jù)情景進行快速推測;
2. 內(nèi)容接不下去的時候就要么放慢速度要么用口語常用過渡語如that is、you see、I mean、well等過渡,同時抓緊時間考慮下面的內(nèi)容;
3. 不管懂或不懂的題目,包括面對新題目,都不能輕易放棄,說了就可得分;
語法問題:
1. 并列結(jié)構(gòu)的中心詞詞性必須一致;
2. 表達過程中要善于轉(zhuǎn)換詞性,避免出現(xiàn)不必要的語法錯誤,如What do you want to
impress your clients?---I want to impress on them that I’m…(adj),此時所有的詞必須是形容詞,碰到非形容詞應(yīng)即使改為形容詞,如‘努力工作’應(yīng)為hard-working;
常見表達法錯誤:
1. as far as I’m concerned…應(yīng)改為in my opinion,否則變成是討論自己;
2. 表達順序的“最后”不可用at last;表示第三人稱單數(shù)“人”時,要用he or she、him or
her、his or her的結(jié)構(gòu);
3. 用中性詞表示男女性別皆可的人,如用salesperson 取代salesman;
應(yīng)該記?。?/p>
1. 由于第一部分的后半部分前兩個問題是兩個搭檔回答同一個問題,后面的那位搭檔應(yīng)記
住所問的問題,如果與搭檔觀點一致,還必須做簡單補充: “I agree with my partner.Besides…;in addition…;what’s more…”;
2. 第二部分提問搭檔問題時不要提搭檔已經(jīng)詳細講過的問題、難以理解的問題、難以回答的問題、反意疑問句或與搭檔所表述的問題存在內(nèi)涵外延交叉現(xiàn)行的問題,如搭檔已經(jīng)表述“financial benefits are very important… ”時,就不可再問“Is salary important…?”的問題;
3. 表述過程中盡量用big words,如“買”用“purchase”,“給”用“provide….with”等;
4. 盡量用地道英語表達,如不說people can have money to buy…而說people can afford…;不
說sth is used by more and more people, 而說sthis more and more popular;
5. 表達形容詞或者副詞比較級及最高級可以直接加er或est的不可濫用more或most,如
不可說more high,只可說higher或much higher;
6. 24小時服務(wù)為round-the-clock service;
7. 第二部分補充內(nèi)容的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)與所給的點的結(jié)構(gòu)相同,如所給的是Researching the topic
carefully,你要表述“衣著得當(dāng)”時,要用同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)“v-ing+adv”,即dressing properly;
8. 注意單復(fù)數(shù)問題,如career prospects為復(fù)數(shù)形式,其謂語動詞注意一致;
BEC口試總結(jié)(0511)
1. 原來強調(diào)的注意事項未做到位,以至于許多典型錯誤不斷重復(fù)出現(xiàn);
2. 做Part II時,可以把要讓你的搭檔向你提問的問題的關(guān)鍵詞寫在自己草稿提示項的最底
下,雙方達成默契,但不可太明目張膽。
3. 做Part III時,慎記1)每個例子的點都應(yīng)該分析理由原因;2)珍惜例子,千萬不要不
進行理由分析時就把所有的例子全部用盡;否則你會死的很慘的,想救你都回天乏術(shù)!
4. 從句永遠只能用陳述句順序;Do you think it is important to….5. 考官問句的包含的“…do you think…”由于是插入語,極其容易破壞聽力的語感,解決
方法是理解的時候把這三個詞去掉。如:What(do you think)makes a conference interesting?
6. 表達時應(yīng)該注意一些詞一詞多意,應(yīng)該注意表達嚴密,如quality可以指product及service
兩個方面;再如service也可以指購買時及售后的服務(wù);而promotion則可以指提高職位、提高薪資及提高銷售量的多種意思;
7. 可用詞或詞組表達的不要用從句表達;
8. 思考時勿自言自語;
9. 做Part II時,兩個人問的問題最好不要相同;
10.11. 做Part II時,大寫的單詞看不慣時換寫成小寫。through 及according to不是動詞,不可說:we can through the internet to know the
information…;
12.13.
14.審題時應(yīng)該細心,尤其應(yīng)該注意一些形近詞之間的差異,如:quality—quantity internet—internal 及 customer—consumer之間的區(qū)別;
查詞典徹底糾正下列高頻率發(fā)音錯誤的詞并理解它們的意思:
content(n)、imagecolleague;
potential investor,product launch;recruit from abroad;online recruitment;video conference;change product image;employment agency;leisure resort;journalist;alternative 動詞不可做主語;記得應(yīng)該把動詞變?yōu)閕ng形式; 做Part III時,如果碰到包含有whether…題不易展開時,可換成辯論形式進行; 最后記住,前面做不好不要患得患失,因為后面做得好可以蓋過前面不好的。
BEC考試口試總結(jié) 051
21. MARKSHEET的問題:弄皺,連準考證及身份證一起交。
2. 是否參加口語模擬考極其重要;
3. Part II 的一分鐘陳述超時;前面兩點把握不準;最重要的是第三四點;提問題的聰明提
示方法;
4. Part III推遲開始,互等;出現(xiàn)未滿三分鐘情況;
5. 重讀的同學(xué)未參加總復(fù)習(xí)因而不知最新通知;
6. 考前所給的題目練習(xí)的不夠熟練甚至未曾練習(xí)過;
7. 出現(xiàn)重復(fù)問題的現(xiàn)象;
8. 出現(xiàn)用詞平凡的現(xiàn)象;
9. 語音不準現(xiàn)象;
(05年5月版)
(一)口試補充注意事項
1. 原先所指出的存在的錯誤現(xiàn)象尚未克服;
2. 未能切題簡要地回答被提問的問題, Part I尤其如此;
3. 第一、二部分聽不懂的問題可以Pardon,但不能有如何的討論,更不能用任何漢語;
4. 不要復(fù)述問題,直接作答,Part II尤其如此;
5. 回答問題或提問時,time/place or location/money or cost及硬件或軟件方面往往可以作為
參考,Part II尤其如此;
6. 除了特別指出的外,Company往往包含生產(chǎn)及服務(wù)兩個方面,因此思維應(yīng)該嚴密;
7. Part II的供參考的項為復(fù)數(shù)時,謂語動詞應(yīng)該實用正確,如 course contents 或types of
question,回答時應(yīng)該說course contents或types of question are important…;
8. Promotion有兩個意思:指銷售時意為促銷,指職位時意為提職;
9. 說出觀點再進行原因分析后,就不必再重復(fù)已經(jīng)講過的觀點,Part I尤其如此;
10. 不強調(diào)人稱單復(fù)數(shù)時干脆用復(fù)數(shù),以免第三人稱出現(xiàn)差錯;
11. Part III前奏技巧:1)問題亟待解決型:It seems now …(the amount spent on business
is too big/the …cost is too high…)in our company.I think it’s time for us to solve the problem.Do you think so?----yes, I think so.As far as this problem is concerned, I think one way to solve the first problem is……Do you agree with me?.---I can’t agree with you more/I have the same opinion/you are right…besides/in addition/what’s more,….is also one way helping to solve the problem……2)任務(wù)安排型:Our company is going to…I think we need to do some necessary preparations so that the programme/activity can be successful.----yes, I think so.As far as this programme/activity is concerned, I think one thing we should prepare for is……Do you agree with me?...附:04版

Li: My pleasure.As you know, my name is yandali.I'm from Shandong province.I'm now studying in Beijing union University.And I'm majoring in business English there.Interlocutor: Thank you.Mr.Li.Now Mr.Wang, can you tell me about your ambitions Wang: Yes.I am now a student with Suzhou University majoring in business administration.I hope I can get my MBA and join a world-famous multinational company.And after I have had enough experience, I am going to start a company of my own.Interlocutor: Thank you, Mr.Wang.And Mr.Li, could you tell me about your ambitions? Li: A big question for me indeed.I've never thought about it, but I bet I'll work towards a CEO of a big multinational corporation.That's my goal in life.And that's why I am spending so much time on English, business English in particular.Interlocutor: Mr.Li, you said you're spending a lot of time on business English.Do you think business English is difficult to learn? 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
communicative abilities.Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application.Stage Three Time Management Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce.You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the situation.Discuss, and decide together:
------why poor time management can become a major problem in companies
------what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.Zhang: Hi, Ms Wang, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days.Don't you think so? Wang: Yeah.Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company.And that obviously
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
第四篇:BEC口試總結(jié)
口試總結(jié)完整版
口試總結(jié)0612
1. 完美做好第二部分互動-notes的字寫大寫清晰
2. 記住對如何點,especially第三部分,務(wù)必務(wù)必進行原因的分析,整個BEC的考試即是對所述的點進行原因分析的過程;
3. 回答問題過程中盡量不要復(fù)述原題的內(nèi)容,可用so、it之類的替代詞進行替代――因為復(fù)述往往會出現(xiàn)錯誤,并且浪費時間; 4. 一些常見的錯誤表達:
1)facilities雖然字面的意思為設(shè)備,但其實際的意思為“a system that makes a particular activities possible”、“a place or building for a particular activity”,因此,其意思為配套設(shè)施,如大學(xué)的facilities指圖書館、操場等。2)慎用famous,最好用well-known; 3)always not為錯誤表達法,用never;4)We can through…we must according to…the staff must to know為錯誤表達法,因為情態(tài)助動詞后只能跟動詞原形,不可跟介詞或不等式。
5.下列詞匯的發(fā)音應(yīng)該非常注意:(老是有些人屢教不改)
image applicant competition competitive

5.考官提問的問題的形容詞及副詞包含對被修飾的詞的限制,務(wù)必聽清楚并根據(jù)內(nèi)容回答
如:Should companies provide leisure facilities…? Should companies provide this kind of information regularly…? 6.考慮表述的點時,以下三組可以參考:人-錢;時間-地點;硬件-軟件;但要做適當(dāng)改變

3. 不管懂或不懂的題目,包括面對新題目,都不能輕易放棄,說了就可得分;
語法問題:
1. 并列結(jié)構(gòu)的中心詞詞性必須一致;
2. 表達過程中要善于轉(zhuǎn)換詞性,避免出現(xiàn)不必要的語法錯誤,如What do you want to impress your clients?---I want to impress on them that I’m…(adj),此時所有的詞必須是形容詞,碰到非形容詞應(yīng)即使改為形容詞,如‘努力工作’應(yīng)為hard-working;
常見表達法錯誤:
1. as far as I’m concerned…應(yīng)改為in my opinion,否則變成是討論自己;

2. 第二部分提問搭檔問題時不要提搭檔已經(jīng)詳細講過的問題、難以理解的問題、難以回答的問題、反意疑問句或與搭檔所表述的問題存在內(nèi)涵外延交叉現(xiàn)行的問題,如搭檔已經(jīng)表述“financial benefits are very important… ”時,就不可再問“Is salary important…?”的問題;
3. 表述過程中盡量用big words,如“買”用“purchase”,“給”用“provide….with”等; 4. 盡量用地道英語表達,如不說people can have money to buy…而說people can afford…;不說sth is used by more and more people, 而說sth is more and more popular;
5. 表達形容詞或者副詞比較級及最高級可以直接加er或est的不可濫用more或most,如不可說more high,只可說higher或much higher; 6. 24小時服務(wù)為round-the-clock service;7. 第二部分補充內(nèi)容的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)與所給的點的結(jié)構(gòu)相同,如所給的是Researching the topic carefully,你要表述“衣著得當(dāng)”時,要用同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)“v-ing+adv”,即dressing properly; 8. 注意單復(fù)數(shù)問題,如career prospects為復(fù)數(shù)形式,其謂語動詞注意一致;
BEC口試總結(jié)(0511)
1. 原來強調(diào)的注意事項未做到位,以至于許多典型錯誤不斷重復(fù)出現(xiàn);
2. 做Part II時,可以把要讓你的搭檔向你提問的問題的關(guān)鍵詞寫在自己草稿提示項的最底下,雙方達成默契,但不可太明目張膽。
3. 做Part III時,慎記1)每個例子的點都應(yīng)該分析理由原因;2)珍惜例子,千萬不要不進行理由分析時就把所有的例子全部用盡;否則你會死的很慘的,想救你都回天乏術(shù)!4. 從句永遠只能用陳述句順序;Do you think it is important to….5. 考官問句的包含的“…do you think…”由于是插入語,極其容易破壞聽力的語感,解決方法是理解的時候把這三個詞去掉。如:What(do you think)makes a conference interesting? 6. 表達時應(yīng)該注意一些詞一詞多意,應(yīng)該注意表達嚴密,如quality可以指product及service兩個方面;再如service也可以指購買時及售后的服務(wù);而promotion則可以指提高職位、提高薪資及提高銷售量的多種意思; 7. 可用詞或詞組表達的不要用從句表達; 8. 思考時勿自言自語;
9. 做Part II時,兩個人問的問題最好不要相同; 10. 11. 做Part II時,大寫的單詞看不慣時換寫成小寫。
through 及according to不是動詞,不可說:we can through the internet to know the information…;12. 13. 14.
審題時應(yīng)該細心,尤其應(yīng)該注意一些形近詞之間的差異,如:quality—quantity internet—internal 及 customer—consumer之間的區(qū)別; 查詞典徹底糾正下列高頻率發(fā)音錯誤的詞并理解它們的意思: content(n)、image colleague;
potential investor,product launch;recruit from abroad;online recruitment;video conference;change product image;employment agency;leisure resort;journalist;alternative 動詞不可做主語;記得應(yīng)該把動詞變?yōu)閕ng形式;

BEC考試口試總結(jié) 0512
1. MARKSHEET的問題:弄皺,連準考證及身份證一起交。2. 是否參加口語模擬考極其重要;
3. Part II 的一分鐘陳述超時;前面兩點把握不準;最重要的是第三四點;提問題的聰明提示方法;
4. Part III推遲開始,互等;出現(xiàn)未滿三分鐘情況; 5. 重讀的同學(xué)未參加總復(fù)習(xí)因而不知最新通知; 6. 考前所給的題目練習(xí)的不夠熟練甚至未曾練習(xí)過; 7. 出現(xiàn)重復(fù)問題的現(xiàn)象; 8. 出現(xiàn)用詞平凡的現(xiàn)象; 9. 語音不準現(xiàn)象;

9. 說出觀點再進行原因分析后,就不必再重復(fù)已經(jīng)講過的觀點,Part I尤其如此; 10. 不強調(diào)人稱單復(fù)數(shù)時干脆用復(fù)數(shù),以免第三人稱出現(xiàn)差錯; 11. Part III前奏技巧:1)問題亟待解決型:It seems now …(the amount spent on business is too big/the …cost is too high…)in our company.I think it’s time for us to solve the problem.Do you think so?----yes, I think so.As far as this problem is concerned, I think one way to solve the first problem is……Do you agree with me?.---I can’t agree with you more/I have the same opinion/you are right…besides/in addition/what’s more,….is also one way helping to solve the problem……2)任務(wù)安排型:Our company is going to…I think we need to do some necessary preparations so that the programme/activity can be successful.----yes, I think so.As far as this programme/activity is concerned, I think one thing we should prepare for is……Do you agree with me?...附:04版

第五篇:商務(wù)英語口試注意事項
口試第一部分注意事項:
口試第一部分考生在回答考官問題時,不要簡單回答Yes 或No,還要用兩三句話來做進一步解釋說明。在考官問搭檔問題時也不要插話,在旁邊傾聽即可,等考官問你,你再回答。考官可能會問你相同的問題,也可能問不同的問題。通過認真傾聽,一方面可以有助于你熟悉考官和搭檔的語音面貌,另一方面也可以熟悉他們交流的問題,以免當(dāng)考官中途問你對這個問題的看法時,不知所云。
口試第二部分參考框架(采用總-分-總的方法)
I choose topic A, 然后把題念一遍。
總括I think there are three points/aspects to consider.First,把題卡上第一點說一下,然后用兩三句話解釋
Second, 把題卡上第二點說一下,然后用兩三句話解釋
Third,把你發(fā)揮的第三點說一下,然后用兩三句話解釋
總結(jié):
In conclusion,/In summary, I think 三個要點重復(fù)一下 are important when doing sth.(重復(fù)一下原題的要求)
Well, that?s all I want to say.Thank you!或Well, I think I have covered the main points.Thank you!
切記:
1.一定要合理利用1分鐘的準備時間,最好寫下要點,以防忘記,造成發(fā)言不連貫。要點是指能起到提醒作用的單詞或詞組,不必寫完整句子,時間太短,沒有時間寫完整句子。
2.一定要盡量發(fā)揮第三點,以使你的發(fā)言豐滿,同時也能使考官看到你語言和話語組織能力。但是如果實在想不出來第三點,就說提示的兩點也可以,但是一定要說滿一分鐘,解釋要點可以有詳有略。注意采用總-分-總的方法,這樣顯得條理清楚。
3.在聽搭檔發(fā)言時,就要努力想自己要提的問題,要根據(jù)搭檔的發(fā)言提問,不要跑題。如果搭檔講的內(nèi)容沒有聽明白,就根據(jù)你聽懂的幾個單詞提問也可以。
可參考的提問句子有:
Which do you think is the most important point? Why?(前提是搭檔在發(fā)言時沒有表明態(tài)度)要求搭檔進一步解釋某個要點。I am very interested in-----Could you further explain-----, please?
提出自己看法,然后要求搭檔評論。I think---is also important.What do you think of it? 要求搭檔說一下自己公司的有關(guān)情況?Could you say something about-----in your company, please?
4.回答搭檔的問題時,不要簡單回答Yes或No, 要用兩三句來解釋。不知道如何回答,可以結(jié)合自己熟悉的事情,如自己生活和工作經(jīng)驗等來回答,舉例說明是個很好的方法,口試第三部分參考框架
討論開始時建議說:
A: OK, shall we make a start?/let's start.OK?
B: OK.A: Let?s start with the first question.然后把第一個討論題念出來。
討論完第一個題后,自然過渡到第二個題,這時可以說:
B: let?s discuss the second question 或Let?s move on to the next question.然后把第二個討論題念出來
注意:
討論過程中有觀點和論據(jù)。在闡明自己的想法后,一定要詢問搭檔的看法。如果搭檔說不出來,你要想辦法給他一個臺階下,你可以說Do you agree with me? 如果他同意,那你們就可以把談話進行下去,如果他不同意就讓他解釋原因。
如果自己沒想好,可以先問搭檔的觀點(What?s your opinion? How /What about you?)。以爭取更多的時間思考。在傾聽搭檔表達個人觀點時,自己也一定要積極思考。以免搭檔卡殼,出現(xiàn)冷場。搭檔沒有表達清楚,要積極幫助搭檔表達清楚,讓考官看到你積極主動與人溝通的一面,充分體現(xiàn)你良好的溝通愿望和技巧,給考官留下非常好的印象。
如果你對題目毫無看法,當(dāng)搭檔問你的觀點時,你可以說I agree with you., 然后用自己的話復(fù)述一下搭檔的觀點。也可以適當(dāng)補充一下搭檔的觀點。這樣也可以讓考官看到你語言水平。最后總結(jié)討論結(jié)果。可以用以下表達:
In conclusion,-----
To sum up-----
切記:第三部分討論大多數(shù)情況是考生觀點互為補充,如果觀點有分歧,就要有人妥協(xié)。因為如果雙方都不妥協(xié)就不能達成一致,從而不能完成任務(wù)。所以學(xué)會妥協(xié)很重要。記住你們是合作的關(guān)系,不是競爭的關(guān)系,要顧全大局。
口語考試特別提示:
BEC口試測試分三個階段進行:第一階段:采取考官與考生交流的方式,時間約為4—5分鐘??忌鷳?yīng)對考官的問題做出回答或?qū)脊偬岢龅囊笞龀龇磻?yīng)??脊偎}問題主要針對商務(wù)交往的具體內(nèi)容。第二階段:采取考生與考生交流的方式,時間約為3—4分鐘。每組考生抽去兩組卡片,每組卡片為兩張,一張卡片上描述具體內(nèi)容,另一張卡片由針對其內(nèi)容的問題。考生可得到一張卡片上描述具體內(nèi)容和另一考生卡片相關(guān)問題卡片,有足夠時間閱讀卡片,交流的內(nèi)容局限于這兩組卡片。第三階段、這部分要求考生就某一題目進行討論,主考官會適時介入談話。
第一階段、這部分是主考官與考生的對話,考官問的問題一般有:姓名、職業(yè)、所學(xué)專業(yè),對所從事的工作或所學(xué)專業(yè)是否喜歡,為什么喜歡或不喜歡等等。
另外,考官會就某一方面問考生,如有關(guān)就業(yè)就可能問:What would your ideal job be? Do you think all companies ought to provide training opportunities for staff? Is the opportunity to work abroad important to you? 等等。
當(dāng)主考官在與一考生對話時,另一考生必須仔細聽,因為主考官問了考生甲“Do you think all companies ought to provide training opportunities for staff”后,可能會問考生乙“What do you think of it”,如果考生乙沒有仔細聽,就要對考官說Sorry或Please pardon 這樣會影響口試效果??谠嚨谝徊糠挚荚嚂r間約為4分鐘。
第二階段、這一部分要求考生就某一主題進行闡述。考生就信息卡上的問題回答。如:What is important when … ? Opening a branch in a new cityl The locationl The potential purchasing power闡述完了之后,考官司就所闡述的內(nèi)容提問。只要考生能對信息卡的內(nèi)容有所了解,一般可以較好地回答問題。
第三階段、這部分要求考生就某一題目進行討論,主考官會適時介入談話。兩個考生在討論都應(yīng)該積極參與,不能將問題交給對方去闡述,討論是雙向的。如:Business SeminarYour company is going to hold a seminar on a certain topic about marketing.You have been asked to help with the preparation for the seminar.Discuss the situation together and decide:l What facilities and seminar arrangements you will need to makel Who you are going to invite to attend the seminar, and how to contact them.以上信息卡提供了兩個討論要點,即:研討會需要什么設(shè)備,應(yīng)做些什么安排;準備邀請什么人,怎樣與他們聯(lián)系??忌鷳?yīng)該發(fā)揮想象力,舉辦一個研討會,考慮需要那些設(shè)備,如白板、筆、投影儀、電腦、飲水機、咖啡機等,此外,還可能需要翻譯人員、文秘人員等;考慮那些要員是必須出席的等等。
當(dāng)一個考生在闡述意見時,另一考生需要在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候介入。另外,考生要注意不要挖空心思去尋找對應(yīng)的英語來表達漢語思維的內(nèi)容,只要達到效果就行。如有的考生要表達?沿海城市?,如果不知道coastal city,可以用其它的方法來表示這個意思,如可以用the city along the coast 或 the city on the sea等。
口語是BEC四個單元中挑戰(zhàn)性較大的一部分,并且口語考試的難度隨著等級的提高而加大。BEC口語考試分為三部分。第一部分是考生與考官的交流,著重于個人情況,學(xué)習(xí)工作,興趣愛好。這一部分必須充分準備,但難度不會超過普通的工作面試,且一般不會涉及商務(wù)知識。主要的難點在于第二、第三部分。第二部分讓考生就某一商務(wù)主題發(fā)表一分鐘的演講,而第三部分中,兩位考生就某個商務(wù)主題進行討論。這兩個部分要求較高,而準備時間僅為一分鐘。
針對BEC口語出題范圍。將其細分為多個出題領(lǐng)域:職業(yè)發(fā)展,人事,營銷,商務(wù)交流,信息管理,物流,金融,公司發(fā)展,項目管理,質(zhì)量控制,競爭,健康安全,戰(zhàn)略策劃,生產(chǎn)管理,國際商務(wù),交通,商業(yè)文化與倫理等,各個擊破。對于每個領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的經(jīng)典題型,必須對大量范文作詳細分析,總結(jié)最常用的話題與理由,體會不同場合變換說法的重要性,克服考生中普遍的理解考題卻無話可說的尷尬。
對于任一題目,光說一大堆理由,是很難得高分的,即使理由本身非常正確。關(guān)鍵在于必須有活生生的例子說明問題。這一點上,臨時抱佛腳是沒有用的,務(wù)必要*平時注意收集并在會話中運用恰當(dāng)?shù)睦印?/p>
是要透過經(jīng)典題型例解的現(xiàn)象看本質(zhì)。學(xué)會運用會話模式,如開題—質(zhì)詢—觀點—擴展型對話,并掌握有效的相關(guān)口語技巧,如Echo, Objection, Proposition, Development, Hypothesis, Definition, Interrogation, Repetition等。這樣,對于會話的總體框架與結(jié)構(gòu)在心中有了一個藍圖以后,才能把注意力放在內(nèi)容上。
對于如何使口語更自然更地道的一些語言點,也必須有所涉及。語言的豐富化與口語化不是一日之功,但也要總結(jié)規(guī)律。比如,用一些語氣詞如well,right?等和反義疑問句可以使語言較為自然。一些口語化的詞組如icing on the cake,sell like hotcakes,ballyhoo,shelf sitter等也可以給會話增色。當(dāng)然粗俗的俚語在商務(wù)會話中是不允許的。另外,書面用語如 nevertheless,furthermore, in addition, utmost 等非但不會讓考官欣賞,反而顯得做作,不自然。正所謂?過猶不及?。要做到恰到好處,必須對詞匯和短語的色彩有精確體會。必須指出的是,口語化不等于散漫化。BEC口語的目的還是為商務(wù)主題服務(wù)的,所以決不能淪為聊天式的極其隨便的對話。關(guān)鍵在于應(yīng)做到?casual without losing focus?,即?外松內(nèi)緊?。
口語考試策略指導(dǎo)
.Be well prepared.做好充分準備是成功的基本保障,這包括對考試風(fēng)格,模式,題型和最新動態(tài)的熟悉,更包括大量的、有針對性的口語練習(xí)。但必須指出一點,準備的過程不應(yīng)是背誦的過程。很多考生對自己在面試中的表現(xiàn)感覺良好,最終卻對自己出乎意料的低分大吃一驚,百思不得其解,其實原因很簡單:考官對考生背誦事先準備好的答案很反感,尤其當(dāng)他/她聽到同一種答案被很多考生重復(fù)使用時,那種令人作嘔的感覺可想而知。在考官看來,Using a prepared answer is similar to cheating!所以給準備BEC考試的考生一個忠告:Over prepared is often as harmful as under prepared.2.Have an easy but concentrated state of mind.心態(tài)對于任何事的成功都是至關(guān)重要的,語言測試,尤其是一對一的口語測試更是如此。良好的心態(tài)可以使人超水平發(fā)揮;糟糕的心態(tài)卻可以讓人遭遇滑鐵盧。在以往的BEC考試中,相當(dāng)數(shù)量的考生是因為心態(tài)不好,主要是過度緊張導(dǎo)致失利的。應(yīng)該說適度的緊張還是有益的。我們應(yīng)該充分重視BEC口語考試,但沒有理由懼怕它。調(diào)整心態(tài),放松心情的幾種方法:
1)盡量把參加BEC面試想象成拜訪一個朋友,而那個朋友有一些問題不明白,需要向我請教。
2)面試前一晚一定要睡個好覺,考前一餐不要吃得太飽,當(dāng)然也不能空腹。
3)進入面試房間前做幾次深呼吸,然后告訴自己:既然我知道自己英語說得不錯,別人也應(yīng)該知道。
4)把對方想象成考生,把自己想象成考官,當(dāng)然該回答的問題還是要認真回答。
5)如果知道自己的英語口語不太好就更沒必要緊張了,緊張又不能幫我提高成績,不如徹底放松,奮力一搏,說不定就能達到柳暗花明的效果。
3.Focus on your English instead of your ideas.考官在考察我們的英文而不是我們的思想,沒有必要為了一個我認為“閃光”的思想強迫自己說那些說不清的英文句子,重要的是把我有把握的英文說清楚??脊倩旧喜粫诤跷覀兊挠^點,而是根據(jù)我們的英文打分的,況且我認為很精彩的一個觀點很可能其他人已經(jīng)重復(fù)過多次。一個蹩腳的復(fù)雜句并不比簡明流暢的短句給考官的印象更好。在口語表達中我是主動的,沒有人強迫我說什么。不會說的詞就換另一個詞;沒有把握的句型就換另一個句子;講不清的觀點可以馬上用另一種觀點,甚至違心地說幾句話也無妨,為了拿到分數(shù)豁出去了。記?。弘m然語言只是表達思想的載體,但那是在生活中。在語言測試中,尤其是當(dāng)我們的語言手段不足以表達我們復(fù)雜的思想時,一定要讓思想服從于語言,只講能講得清的觀點。
4.Use your common sense.很多考生分丟得實在冤枉,當(dāng)被問到一些常識性問題時,我們往往因為缺乏常識或不會利用常識而輕易放棄機會,白白丟分。要知道十幾分鐘的面試轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝,放棄一個問題可能就意味著分數(shù)降一個檔次。有些問題被考生放棄并不是因為語言問題,而是他們認為對這個話題沒有idea,不知道該說什么。例如被問到家鄉(xiāng)最有趣的方面是什么時,很多考生吞吞吐吐說不出來,或者干脆說沒什么有趣的。其實這是一個非常簡單的問題,只要有一點常識就不難想到有太多話題可講:自然風(fēng)光、名勝古跡、地方風(fēng)俗、歷史、地理、風(fēng)土人情、節(jié)日慶典、飲食習(xí)慣、教育制度、天氣情況等等都可以成為談?wù)摰脑掝}。任何時候都不要放棄任何問題。Saying something is better than saying nothing!
5.Be calm in mind and active in attitude.回答問題時要沉著,冷靜,思路清晰,同時表現(xiàn)出主動參與、喜歡交談的態(tài)度。首先要保證聽懂問題再回答,不要聽到之言片語就慌忙回答,隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)誤解了考官的問題或答非所問;更不要沒聽懂考官的問題就沉默不語。如果真沒聽懂也不要慌,可以先根據(jù)此時的談話背景迅速尋找線索,把自己的猜測大膽講出來,待對方證實后繼續(xù)回答。例如:Q: What's your line of business?
A: Excuse me, are you asking me to talk about my job?
假如連一點猜測的線索都沒有,坦白的告訴考官你沒有聽懂比不懂裝懂,答非所問更能表現(xiàn)出考生喜歡參與的坦誠態(tài)度和善于交談的應(yīng)變能力。
