大米粒圆又圆
【导读】随着社会的发展,我国的综合国力的提升,我们有了更多的国际上的合作,为此,对职场人的英语水平有了更高的要求,而bec商务英语就好似是专为职场人定制的英语考试一样,考察都是日常商务的常用语,那么2020年BEC初级的考试内容是什么?具体包含什么样的内容呢?我们接着往下看。
考查商务词汇
这要求考生掌握大量的常用词,也要求考生掌握一些常用词在商务语境中的具体含义。我的英语水平很好,又是英语学科的,但是商务英语成绩却不好。事实上,很大一部分原因是我不能准确地理解单词的商务含义。
BEC中的常用词具有特定的商务含义,例如,如proof、books,在商务语境下,proof的意思是“样本”,不是“证据、证明”。因此,考生在日常记忆单词时,一定要注意这方面的知识点。
考查商务背景知识
BEC是一项实践性很强的考试,它注重考生在实际工作环境中运用英语解决问题的能力。同时,它还会涉及一些商业背景知识。如果你对商业背景知识有一定的了解,答题一般就没有什么问题。平时要通过广泛的阅读来扩大自己的知识面,一定要多读财务、金融、商务接待、商务交际、商务管理等商务类的文章,对一些重要的商务要尽量了解。
考查商务思维
主要是体现在口语和写作两大题型上。口语题型主要是考查一些职场的基本知识。例如,当谈到商务旅行的住宿,如果你只考虑省钱的方面,你显然没有商人应有的细致和严谨的思维。因为考生还应该考虑酒店的位置,交通状况等等。
对于写作题型,例如,如果你被要求处理一个客户由于被多收了钱而投诉的问题,我相信你们大多数人首先会考虑向客户道歉,并告诉客户退还多收的钱。不同的是在这里,其他考生可以考虑还款的时间、方式等等。这种思维是企业应有的严谨,并且有解决实际问题的能力。
以上就是小编整理的“2020年BEC初级的考试内容是什么?”的相关内容,从以上三点我们可以看出BEC 考试内容与职场环境密切相关,希望各位职场精英们重视起来。
Ares填词人
商务英语有初级、中级、高级。初级简单含金量不高,报名费也不少(送英国批卷子,当然是比较贵的),建议不考,因此下面也不讲初级。内容分 听力、阅读、写作、口语 四个部分。成绩用ABCDE表示,DE是不及格。听力中内容都是与商务有关,题型较新颖,有配对题,出此之外填空和听力短文理解也不易。且中国学生多适应美音,对英音可能反应不过来,因此难度较大,需花时间练习适应。阅读难度一般。时间60分钟。也有配对题,出此之外还有 短文挖了几个空让你选句子的题目(逻辑题),还有就是一般的阅读理解题,完型填空和改错题。高级〔bec advance〕中还多出填空题,但时间与中级一样。因此要飞快的做题,主要讲究 skimm,scan这种技巧。尽管不难,单词都很面熟,但是在商务中的意思可能与你指导的迥然不同,因此,熟悉单词在商务方面的含义是考好的前提。不建议买新东方出的词汇书,与考试内容南辕北辙是浪费时间,还是买经济科学出版社的学生参考用书,将里面的词汇短语和习句熟悉即可。作文分两部分。如果没有商务背景(是学生的话),需要多了解正规的信件书写的必要格式,并且注意用词要formal,concise,logical,戒啰嗦。一部分是写memo这种小的通知,120字左右吧。还有一部分是大作文,写report或者proposal这种,字数多少忘记了。。反正注意点是,格式一定要对,用词一定要规范,内容一定要有条理。口语么,会先问问你的个人情况帮你消除紧张感,然后会让你对几个选项中的一个topic选择来讲,建议选自己熟悉的topic讲。well, as we know, and also, what is also striking,...这种要灵活穿插在思路卡壳的时候。然后好像会要和partner进行对话,这个要有默契拉,就像两个人在打球一样有来有回才会分高。好的拍档是成功的一半。大约如此。如果你考过6级,并且上过bec的课程,复习2个礼拜,中级不是问题。高级的话,就要看人品拉。有些英语专业的学生还fail的说

A.Chemical Company
Masterson’s interim pre-tax profits growth of 20% was somewhat inflated as a result of the income received from the disposal of several of the company’s subsidiaries. The underlying 8% rise in operating profits is a more realistic gauge of the company’s true progress. However, Masterson’s impending merger with Bentley and Knight and its appointment of a new chief executive should mean that the company will be able to sustain growth for the foreseeable fut5ure. The share price has varied little during the course of the year and now stands at £ 6.75
B.Hotel Group
During the past year the Bowden Hotel Group has acquired 77 new properties, thus doubling in size . last week the group reported pre-tax profits of £ 88 million in the first six months of the year, ahead of expectations and helped by a strong performance from its London-based hotels and newly expanded US business. However. There is still some way to go. Integration of the new acquisitions is still not complete and, while the share price has risen recently, major problems with integration have yet to be solved.
C.High-tech Company
This time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over £ 1. six months ago it was worth £ 40. today it is priced at under £ 8 . if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be. But some technology companies are fighting back and Usertech is one of them . What has renewed excitement in the company is the opening of its new American offices in Dallas and its ambitious plans to expand its user base in both North and Latin America.
D.Building Company
Renton’s share price has risen gradually over the past year from £2.4 to £ 3.8 . The company has been successful in choosing prime location for its buildings and has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing. Whilst this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encouraged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets. Work has already begun on two sites in London, and the company is expected to sign a contract within the next month for building four large supermarkets in Scotland.
E.Pottery Manufacturer
Milton Dishes has been through a shake-up over the past year. The group, which has been cutting margins and improving marketing, may post a small profit this year. The many members of the Milton family, who between them own 58 per cent of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and several are looking to sell. Trade rival Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a recovery at the firm.

Your Career Path Can Lead You Anywhere
We used to be advised to plan our careers. We were told to make a plan during the later stages of our education and continue with it through our working lives.(0)_____ some people still see careers in this way. However, to pursue a single option for life has always been unrealistic.
Planning for a single career assumes that we set out with a full understanding of our likes and dislikes and the employment opportunities open to us. (9)____ For most people this degree of certainty about the future does not exist.
Our initial choice of career path and employer is often based on inadequate knowledge and false perceptions. But with age and experience, we develop new interests and aptitudes and our priorities alter. The structure of the employment market and, indeed of employment itself, is subject to change as both new technologies and new work systems are introduced (10) _____ We must face the uncertainties of a portfolio career.

The Negotiating Table:
You can negotiate virtually anything. Projects, resources, expectations and deadlines are all outcomes of negotiation. Some people negotiate deals for a living. Dr Herb Cohen is one of these professional talkers, called in by companies to negotiate on their behalf . He approaches the art of negotiation as a game because, as he is usually negotiating for somebody else, he says this helps him drain the emotional content from his conversation. He is working in a competitive field and needs to avoid being too adversarial. Whether he succeeds or not, it is important to him to make a good impression so that people will recommend him.
The starting point for any deal, he believes, is to identify exactly what you want from each other. More often than not, one party will be trying to persuade the other round to their point of view. Negotiation requires two people at the end saying ‘yes”. This can be a problem because one of them usually begins by saying “no”. However, although this can make talks more difficult, this is often just a starting point in the negotiation game. Top management may well reject the idea initially because it is the safer option but they would not be there if they were not interested.
It is a misconception that skilled negotiators are smooth operators in smart suits. Dr Cohen says that one of his strategies is to dress down so that the other side can relate to you. Pitch your look to suit your customer. You do not need to make them feel better than you but, For example, dressing in a style that is not overtly expensive or successful will make you more approachable. People will generally feel more comfortable with somebody who appears to be like them rather than superior to them. They may not like you but they will feel they can trust you.
Dr Cohen suggests that the best way to sell your proposal is by getting into the world of the other side. Ask questions rather than give answers and take an interest in what the other person is saying, even if you think what they are saying is silly. You do not need to become their best friends but being too clever will alienate them. A lot of deals are made on impressions. Do not rush what you are saying---put a few hesitations in , do not try to blind them with your verbal dexterity. Also, you should repeat back to them what they have said to show you take them seriously.
Inevitably some deals will not succeed. Generally the longer the negotiations go on, the better chance they have because people do not want to think their investment and energies have gone to waste. However , joint venture can mean joint risk and sometimes , if this becomes too great , neither party may be prepared to see the deal through . More common is a corporate culture clash between companies, which can put paid to any deal. Even having agreed a deal, things may not be tied up quickly because when the lawyers get involved, everything gets slowed down as they argue about small details.
De Cohen thinks that children are the masters of negotiation. Their goals are totally selfish. They understand the decision-making process within families perfectly. If Mum refuses their request , they will troop along to Dad and pressure him. If al else fails, they will try the grandparents, using some emotional blackmail. They can also be very single-minded and have an inexhaustible supply of energy for the cause they are pursuing. So there are lesson to be learned from watching and listening to children.
15 Dr Cohen treats negotiation as a game in order to
A put people at ease
B remain detached
C be competitive
D impress rivals
16 Many people say “no” to a suggestion in the beginning to
A convince the other party of their point of view
B show they are not really interested
C indicate they wish to take the easy option
D protect their company’s situation
17 Dr Cohen says that when you are trying to negotiate you should
A adapt your style to the people you are talking to
B make the other side feel superior to you
