BEC中级复习重点

来源:帮我找美食网
沪江小编:BEC中级写作看似是BEC中级考试中较为简单的一项,但实际上也要多下工夫才能拿高分,尤其对于不以英语为母语的中国考生来说,平时不多加练习很有可能在考试时“挤牙膏”般写生硬的句子。 题目:

You work for a company which is going to buy a set of equipment from China. You are asked to translate a lot of specifications and instructions within four months, which is impossible. therefor you decide to advertise for two experienced translators as soon as possible.

. Write a short note to Mr. Max Remington ,the Public Relation's manager. Ask for an advertisement for two translators. . Explain the reason. . Mention your urgency.

. Write 30-40 words on your Answer Sheet. 讲解:

便条可以有题目,也可以省略题目。 便条开篇须有称呼语,但称呼可以比较随便。 日期部分可写在便条的右上角。

日期的签署通常只需写星期几或星期几的上午、下午,也可只写上午或下午和具体时间。 只写日期也可以。

便条结尾须署上留条人的姓名,位置在正文的右下角。 便条的形式和内容简洁,故可以用几句话概括。

文内语言尽量通俗口语化,简单扼要,直截了当,无需使用客套语言。 便条虽简单,但中心务必突出,更要注明活动的时间及地点。

便条不需邮寄,不用信封。通常请人代为转交。有时可写在留言板和留言簿上。 基本写作格式

便条内容和类型不尽相同,可以灵活变通。但各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素; 1) Date:便条日期 2) Salutation:称呼 3) Body:正文 4) Signature:署名 范文:

Dear Mr. Max Remington ,

As our company is purchasing a set of equipment ,a lot of materials -have to be translated, which is impossible to do within four months. Could you advertise for two experiencedtranslators in the newspapers? It is urgent. Yours respectfully, Sophia 题目:

You work in the Market Survey institute. After careful research ,you receive four charts.

Read the following charts which show , the trend of consumer confidence, real hourly wages, employment and credit development. The years are given ,while the other numbers are not presented. But the lines in the charts clearly show , the directions of development.

. Use the information in the charts to write a report (about 100- 120 words) analyzing the reason why the consumer confidence increases. . Write on your Answer Sheet. 范文:

Near the end of 1994, people suddenly become \"rich'', buying a lot of things. We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobs to earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various credit cards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is our turn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence.

Complaints & Claims 抱怨和索赔信函

抱怨、索赔信函的目的是为了获取更好的服务,对已出现的问题求得尽快的、妥善的解决。它通常是买方由于对收到的货物不满而书写,如:货物未按时到达;货物虽抵达,但与订单所载不同;货物有损毁现象;货物数量短缺或多余;货物质量与样品不符;服务不合理以及收费过高等,这些均是抱怨、索赔的正当理由。

书写抱怨、索赔信函时,不妨开门见山出原先双方同意的条件,然后列举事实以表示有何不满,以及为什么不满,最后提出解决的方法。内容应明确、清楚、有理,语气要简洁、坚决。避免使用愤怒和使对方过于难堪的措辞(除非你所抱怨的问题反复发生,且多次投诉而毫无结果)。

For Delay in Shipment (由于发货延迟而抱怨) Dear Sirs ,

The furniture we ordered from you should have reached us a week ago .Needless to say , the delay in delivery has put us to great inconvenience .It is therefore imperative that you dispatch them immediately .Otherwise we shall be obliged to cancel the order and obtain the goods elsewhere.

Please look into the matter as one of urgency and let us have your reply as early as possible .

For Poor-Packing (由于包装不妥提出索赔) Dear Sirs ,

We are writing to inform you that the toys covered by our order No.519 arrived in such an unsatisfactory condition that we have to lodge a claim against you .It was found upon examination that 10% of them are broken and some are badly scratched , obviously due to the improper packing . Therefore, we cannot offer it for sale at the normal price and suggest that you make us an allowance of 20% on the invoiced cost .This is the amount by which we propose to reduce our selling price .If you cannot accept , Im afraid we shall have to return them for replacement . Sincerely yours , XXX

For Damage of Goods (由于货物损坏而抱怨) Dear Sirs,

Our order No.JT-8 The glassware you supplied to our order of 3rd July was

delivered by the shipping company this morning .The 160 cartons containing the goods appeared to be in perfect condition .But when I unpacked them with great care , I regret to report that 10 cartons of glassware badly cracked .

We trust you can understand that we expect the compensation for our dam aged goods.

For Incomformity(由于货物不符而抱怨) Dear Sirs ,

On March 12, we ordered 1,200 shirts size 42. But unfortunately ,we received completely different articles-children clothes today .We can only presume that a mistake was made and the children clothes were for another order.

As I have several customers waiting , please arrange for the replacements at once.

4.常用表达:要使用商务信函常用的表达,那样会显得很专业,给读者留下很好的印象。 例如:further to your letter of„„, Please do not hesitate to contact me. 等比较常用的语句。在确保不出错的前提下,如能适当展示自己语言的丰富性那就更好了。 写作建议

仔细阅读要求,先确定需要写几段,每段的目的是什么,注意每段表达一个话题。考虑各段的主要用词。

注意格式。不需写地址。称呼要恰当,要和信后的客套结束语在文体上匹配,结尾要写结束语。

写信的原则(Writing Principles)已从原来的3(Conciseness, Clearness, Courtesy)发展到目前的7个\"C\":

Completeness, Clearness, Concreteness, Conciseness, Correctness, Courtesy,Consideration) 实例

Dear Sirs,

With reference to your letter of April 9, we are pleased to accept your offer of 100 tons of Copper Wire as per your Offer Sheet No.8/070/02B. Please go ahead and apply for your Export License. As soon as we are informed of the number of the Export License we will open the L/C by cable. Copper Wire 大意:

关于你们四月九日涵,我们高兴地接受你们第8/070/02B号报盘单所报100吨紫色铜丝。请着手办理申请出口许可证。 一经接到出口许可证号码的通知,当即电开信用证。 要求书信的\"完整\", 理由有三:

1.一封完整的书信比一封不完整的书信,有更大的可能性带来预期的效果; 2.一封完整的书信,有助于建立和表达友善关系;

3.一封完整的书信,可以避免由于遗漏重要情况(情报)所导致的诉讼(Lawsuit); 有时,某些不显眼的书信或文件,由于所提供的情况完整而又生动有力(Complete and Effective)而成为极为重要的文件。一封信写得是否完整,建议用五个\"W\"来检验,即:Who, What, Where, When 及Why(包括How)。例如:在定货的信中,必须明确说明\"需要什么商品(What you want)、何时需要(When you need the goods) 、货物发到何地何人收(to Whom and Where the goods to be sent) 、如何付款(How payment will be made) 如对对方的要求作出否定的答复时(如不能报盘,不能理赔等)应说明理由,为什么(Why) Clearness(清楚) (一).避免使用可能产生不同理解或意义不明确的词汇〈例一〉As to the steamers sailing from Hongkong to San Francisco, we have bimonthly direct services. (从香港到旧金山有直达船,)但是bimonthly 究竟是一个月两次即半月一次呢,还是两个月一次?不明确。因此,最好清楚明白地说明\"一个月两次\"还是\"两个月一次\":

(a)We have two direct sailings every month from Hongkong to San Francisco.(每月两次直达船)(b)We have semimonthly direct sailing from Hongkong to San Francisco.(每半月一次直达船)(c)We have a direct sailing from Hongkong to San

Francisco every two month.(每两个月一次直达船)

(二)注意修饰词的位置,有时修饰词的位置不同,会导致不同的含意如:a) Please let us know what you wish us to do about this matter as soon as possible; b) Please let us know as soon as possible what you wish us to do about this matter. 以上两句中的\"\"修饰的内容不同:a) 你们要求我们尽快做些什么。b) 请尽快告诉我们。所以a) 可译成\"请告你们要我们为此尽快做些什么\"; b) 可译为\"请尽快告知,你们要我们为此事做些什么\"。

(三)注意代名词,关系代词和先行词的关系按照英语习惯,句子中的代名词和关系代词一般是指离得最近的名词,因此要特别注意,以免引起误解或不清楚。例句:不好:They informed Messrs.John & Smith that they would receive an answer in a few days. 较好:They informed Messrs. John & Smith that latter would receive an answer in a few days.

(四)注意前后一致和紧凑,连贯不一致:Being a certified public accountant, I am sure you can help us. 一致:Being a certified public accountant, you can surely help us. or; As you are a certified public accountant, I am sure you can help us.

一.格式:平头式、缩进式平头式的写法 (block style) 信头-写信人的地址和写信日期(右上方) 收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的(左上方) 地址后没有标点符号 日期在右上方

段落从顶格开始,段落之间的行距为两行

(但在考试中由于受答题卡限制,请同学们酌情考虑) 二.称谓的表达

注意:错误的写法 Dear Mr. John

Dear Mr. John Smith 三.日期的表达

在英国英语中,天在前;但是,在美国英语中,月份在前。所以某些特别的时期容易引起误解。

例如:12 06 2012 在英国指的是:6月12日 在美国指的是:12月6日

因此日期要写成:12 June 2012 四.商务信函5C原则

适用于所有Business Writing 1. Correctness(准确原则) 2. Conciseness(言简意赅) 3. Completeness(完整原则) 4. Clarity(清楚原则) 5. Courtesy(礼貌原则)

5C原则之Correctness准确原则

阅读人能理解、接受的英语水平;使用精确措词,传达准确信息;正确地使用语法和标点符号;拼写正确

5C原则之Conciseness言简意赅 避免重复累赘 避免冗长的表达方式 多主动,少被动 多删除无关紧要的部分

5C原则之Completeness完整原则 完整原则 – 5W1H

自查:谁(Who)? 什么(What)? 什么时候(When)? 在哪里(Where)? 为什么(Why)? 怎么样(How)?

5C原则之Clarity清楚原则

避免在同一句中使用意义不同的同一个字。要细节清楚具体,如时间和产品信息等。 5C原则之Courtesy礼貌原则 要使用礼貌友好的词汇 要多用体谅对方的写作态度 避免消极词汇和句子 避免有性别之嫌的词汇 礼多人不怪

五.BEC写作高分对策 5C原则

信息点无遗漏,笔记全覆盖 对症下药

条理清楚,层次分明 无语法、拼写错误

注意避免 – 4不要:不要口语词语,短语,缩略词;不要省略句;不要口语,谚语,比喻等修辞手法;不要照搬题目原话 六.题目分类

1 订单类 handling order 2 询问类 enquiry and reply 3 投诉类 complaint and apology 4 告知变化类 notice of changes 5 邀请类 invitations 6.道歉类 apologies 七.文章结构

投诉类信函结构 投诉信结构:总分总 投诉事由

详述事件/投诉理由 提出要求 道歉类信函结构 开篇道歉 解释原因 处理意见 结尾再次道歉 开头:

If you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to, start business emails with either of the following:

如果你不知道邮件是写给谁的,商务信函可以用下面任意一种方式开头: Dear Sir,/Dear Madam, 尊敬的先生,/尊敬的女士,

Dear Madame, is wrong. “亲爱的夫人”这种写法是错误的

If you don’t know whether you’re writing to a man or a woman use: 如果你不知道是写给先生还是女士,可以写: Dear Sir or Madam,

尊敬的先生或女士,

It is not usual to start an email To whom it may concern. This should be reserved for letters of reference or similar communications when the recipient is an unknown third party.

以“致相关人士”开头并不常见。这种用法一般用在推荐信或与其相似的交流中,收件人是不了解的第三方。

It is always better to use somebody’s name if you know it. If it is the first time you are writing to someone, use either of the following:

如果知道对方姓名,邮件中写上总是好的。如果这是你第一次写信给某人,可以用下面任意一种方式开头:

For men: Dear Mr XXXX, 写给男士:尊敬的XXX先生 For women: Dear Ms XXXX, 写给女士:尊敬的XXX女士

Once you get to know someone, i.e. after exchanging one or two emails or if you meet them in person, it is usually OK to use their first name.

一旦你认识了对方,比如在往来一两封邮件或见过面以后,可以在邮件中称呼名字。

Use Dear Sirs, if you are writing to more than one person even if the group of people includes women.

如果你写邮件给两个或以上的人,即使这些人里有女士,请写“尊敬的先生们”

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, is wrong. “Ladies and Gentleman” is only used in formal speech.

\"尊敬的女士们先生们”是错误的,这种用法只用在正式演讲中。

The word Dear may be omitted in less formal emails. Instead, you may just open with the person’s first name/people’s first names.

“dear”在不是特别正式的邮件中可以省去。你可以直接以对方(个人或群组)的名字开头。

Here are some example opening sentences for emails: 下面有一些邮件开头的例句: I hope you are well. 我希望你一切都好。

I hope you enjoyed your holiday and are finding it easy to settle back in to work. 我希望你已经好好享受假期并且很快重新投入工作。

Thank you very much for your email. I am glad to hear that you and your family are well.

非常谢谢你的邮件,我很高兴听到你和你的家人都很安康。 Thank you for your prompt reply. 感谢您的及时回复。

I apologize for not replying sooner, but I have been very busy these last few weeks.

很抱歉没能及早回信,但是过去几周实在太忙。

Thank you for getting in touch with us about XXXX. (Less formal, more friendly) 非常感谢你关于XXXX联系我们。(不是很正式,更友好)

Thank you for contacting us regarding XXXX. (More formal) 非常感谢您因关于XXXX的事接洽我们(更正式)

With reference to your email of [date], I would like to bring the following to your attention.

关于你(时间)寄来的邮件,我有几点想跟你说的。

As a follow-up to our phone call this morning, I would like summarise the key issues.

关于你早上的电话,我想总结下关键几点。 结尾:

Phrases best avoided: 请最好避免:

I hope this email finds you well. 我希望这封邮件能被你看到。 Please be advised as follows. 请按照如下建议。 This email concerns„ 这封邮件是关于„„

Note that in UK English if you start with Dear Sir or Dear Madam, you should end with Yours faithfully. But if you use the person’s name, you should end with Yours sincerely. This rule may seem arbitrary, but it is one of the rules of formal letter writing that is widely known in the UK; therefore I recommend you stick to it. However, there is no such strict rule in the US.

要注意在英式英语中,如果你的邮件以“尊敬的先生”或”尊敬的女士”开头,那应该以”

你忠诚的„„“结束。但如果你知道对方的名字,应该以”你真诚的„„“的结束。这个规定似乎太武断了,但就是英国众所周知的正式邮件写法之一,所以我推荐你最好按照这个原则写。然而,美国没有这门严格的规定。

Here are some example closing sentences for emails: 这里有一些邮件结束语的例句: I look forward to hearing from you. 我期待收到你的邮件。

I look forward to hearing from you soon. 我期待很快就收到回信。

I look forward to receiving your reply. 我期待不久就收到你的回复。 I look forward to seeing you. 我期待与你见面。

I look forward to meeting you. 我期待与你会面。

I look forward to speaking to you on this matter. 我期待和你探讨这个问题。

Please let me know a convenient time for us to meet. 请告知我方便见面的时间。

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. 如果你需要进一步信息,马上联系我。

I will let you know more details as soon as I have them. 如果我有进一步消息,会马上通知你。

Please feel free to call me any time on my mobile: 0099 999 999 999 任何时候都可以打我手机,我的电话是:0099 999 999 999 I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. 如果您能马上关注这个问题,我将不胜感激。

As this matter is urgent, I would be grateful for a swift response. 考虑到这个问题很紧急,如果能尽快恢复我会很感激。

沪江小编:BEC考生练习写作时,看范文会不知道自己的问题在哪里,自己写的作文也不知道该如何改进,下面是两篇范文和详细的点评,说不定也能发现自己练习时的问题。 笔者上商务英语的课已经有些年头了。个人的体会是,商务英语课程以其务实、针对性强而受到学生的青睐,近年来报考的学生数明显大幅上升。当然要得高分也不易,尤其是作文部分,由于BEC写作和我们传统的作文考试题要求相差较大,学生比较难以适应。 本文通过对BEC中级考生文章的分析,给广大考生一点备考建议。

首先一点,我们必须牢记,归根结底,BEC作文考察的还是考生英语表达能力。所以学生并不需要担心自己缺乏这方面的实际经验是否会影响考场发挥。(顺便提一句,BEC高级对商务知识的要求大大提高,因此考生要在语言功底上苦下功夫。比如说,写商务报告的固定格式和用于必须牢记在心。)

与此同时,试题结合商务实战的特点,要求文章必须包含特定信息点,或者是通过提供信息源,以及考题中的标注,规定考生写作的具体范围和内容。所以审题是关键,所有已知条件都必须充分利用,换言之,如果遗漏已知条件,就会因信息表达不完整而导致失分。以下是对我的一名学员习文进行点评。 PART ONE

You have been informed that next Wednesday your company's computer system will be closed down so that improvements can be made. Write an email to all staff in your department:

♦ saying what time on Wednesday the system will be closed down ♦ suggesting how staff should prepare for this

♦ saying how the system will be better after the improvements Write 40--50 words 学生作文: From: Jenny Xu To: All Staff Date: 5 April 2009

Subject: Computer System

I want to tell you that our Intranet based on Linux will be closed next Wednesday at 10 o’clock.. I want to suggesting that you should save all your important documents. The computer system will be faster because we will use a newer SAP system. The new system is according to ISO900 and we will benefit from that. 作文解析:

BEC作文解答时,审题非常重要。题目中给出的要求就好比是解代数题中已知条件,都要用到。小作文处理的时候,大家不妨可以把每一个已知条件扩写成一句句句子,同时兼顾句子之间的连接。 通常学生犯的错误是: 1. 漏掉题中给出的已知条件。

2. 给出的已知条件没有表达清楚,用词过于口语化,没有条理,暴露出语言功底薄弱。 3. 切忌过于花哨的发挥,多说多错。

这篇学生的作品是比较典型的案例。作者有一定的英语表达能力和工作经验,但文章中所暴露出来的不足也是明显的。写作不能从细处下笔,而是先要搭建框架。

以这篇习文为例,作者在具体语言的表达的雕琢上可圈可点,比如说第一个句子中based on引导的过去分词做后置定语,但是显而忘记了这篇文章的主要目的,那就是通知同事公司电脑系统要升级,但update这个词始终没有在文章中出现,因此读下来以后,可能同事还不是非常清楚,为什么computer system will be closed down, 尽管后面提到了improvement,总让人觉得有些如鲠在咽,言之不尽;因此,思路不清晰是这篇习文最大的问题。

此外,本文还有以下一些问题:

1. 有些用词过于口语化,比如说,文章开头, I want to tell you, 文中you should save

这样的用语;

2. 建议Linux, 将SAP, ISO900等唬人术语统统除去,诚然BEC涉及到基本的商务知识,但是真正考核的还是语言功底,语用能力;商务知识好比是盖浇饭里面的小炒而已。 3.里面还有一个明显的语法错误,I want to suggesting„.,当然阅卷者不会刻意去搜寻语法错误,而是综合考量语法得分,但由于小作文篇幅较短,那么这个错误就显得非常明显。 范文:

Please be informed that our computer system will be closed next Wednesday at 12 o'clock for system upgrade. The closure will last for at least two hours. Make sure that you have saved all your documents before that time. The whole system will run on a new server, much faster than the current one. PART TWO

You work for PJT Ltd, a manufacturing company. You need more staff in your department and your line manager has asked you to write a report explaining why.

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. 学生作文:

The purpose of this report is to explain why we need more staff in our department.

We compare the number of staff in our department between 2001 and 2003, it only increased five staff. But the average number of ordered units grow up from 200000 to 400000 between 2001 and 2003.

Our sales department has announced a big new order from an international company recently. It will bring us much more workload. And the annual holiday increased to 5 weeks per year. That means that we have more workload and less working days.

If we had more staff the order should be on time. We should save our company’s reputation. And the workflow will be improved. 作文解析:

BEC中级的大作文题型一般以写报告、书信为主,因此,这些必考问题的具体格式必须掌

握。英文商务报告的格式有五个部分组成,其中包括报告的Subject, Introduction (This report aims/sets out to„„),Findings (it was found that), Conclusions(It was decided/agreed/felt that„„), Recommendations (It is suggested that„..) 括号中是每段开头固定的表达方式,考生不宜自己去创造。同样写信也有格式化的表达方式,再此恕不展开。 和第一部分一样,大作文的写作审题是第一步,所有给出的已知条件必须用足。 本文中:

1.考生的习文字数恰当。但没有把报告应有的四个部分写完整,这将导致大量失分。在以上的习文中,考生表现出了不错的语言驾驭能力。

2.在审题上还有一些欠缺,比如 Another reason for more staff is that we will have fewer delays. 在题目中给出的已知条件中,有一份客户的投诉信件,应当作为佐证被引用,否则order should be on time无从谈起。

3.除了没有按照报告的固定格式外,考生语言太随意。比如说,our sales department has announced a big new order,没有出处,而根据文章中给出的已知条件,这是公司Newsletter所通告的,那么根据报告的要求,应该指出信息来源。

4.中国学生还普遍特别敏感的就是企业的信誉,因此经常会看到学生动辄就是喊口号的语言,比如说文中We should save our company’s reputation. 这样空洞无物的话应该避免。

5.还有就是细节处理,句子和段落之间连接忽略了。比如说,It will bring us much more workload. And the annual holiday increased to 5 weeks per year. 以及最后一句话And the workflow will be improved.其中的and 这个词用在这里显随意了些,可以考虑用Meanwhile 有“祸不单行”的意思。后面的And 应该删除。That means that we have more workload 这里两个that离的太近,可以考虑把后面一个去掉,同时时态应该是we will have。 范文:

Report on: More staff in our department Date: 27.03.2004 Introduction This report aims to explain why our department needs more staff. Findings Statistics show that there exists a big gap between the number of staff in our

department and staff workload. While the number of ordered units grew up from only 200000 to 400000 in 2 years, the number of staff grew only by 5 people. According to the Staff Newsletter dated February 2004, we have won a big new order from an international company. That will bring us more work. At the same time, annual holiday has been increased to 5 weeks per year, meaning there won’t be enough staff for all the work. Our customer service department recently received a complaint from one of our clients about a tremendous delay in our delivery. Conclusion There are many reasons which explain the need of more staff. It is especially important for reducing the number of delays in delivery and to optimize the workflow.

Recommendations More staff does not only mean more costs, it also means improved customer satisfaction.
