商务英语BEC初级考试写作复习讲义(一)
第一讲商务英语写作的过程与基本要求
准备——深思熟虑
准备工作可以采用多种形式。
具体讲,一般需要对以下几方面有明确的认识:
1. 作者的角色
一般来说,首先要判定交际双方的等级关系和亲疏关系,然后即可确定交际走向是否应为上行文、下行文或平行文。
划分出这个界限,才能做到语言准确得体。
2. 读者的角色
读者信息包括:
-身份(决定语气)
-专业水平(决定用词)
-人数
-主次
3. 预期的目的
效率是第一位的,因此最好开门见山,切中主题;文字应简洁
明了。
起稿——条理分明
在写的过程中,我们需要完成如下几项任务:
1. 确定篇幅
一般分为开头、主体、结尾三部分。
读者视角:迅速捕捉头尾信息。
2. 组织布局
商务文章注重逻辑性,结构严谨,环环相扣。
由近至远,由浅至深,由轻至重。
3. 区分类别
在给自己的文章定位时,以下几点值得我们注意。
ⅰ记叙与非记叙
ⅱ互动性与单向性
ⅲ抽象信息与具体信息
ⅳ客观描述与主观判断
定稿——精雕细琢
定稿的标准尺度:
n 布局合理,层次分明
n 信息合理,内容完整
n 语气恰当,适合读者
n 语句连贯,一气呵成
n 句型丰富,短句为主

那就看人民邮电出的教材咯,以那个作为复习的大纲,学习其中的商务知识,其配套的词汇训练、练习册等都是很好的材料。
在此基础之上,专门被BEC词汇,这个我博客里也有专门的总结,你可以直接下载。
这两块复习得差不多了,可以接触真题,并且不断做题和总结错误原因,适应BEC命题形式.应对BEC中级听力特别是短文听力,其备考训练必须抓住竖听和横听两点结合来进行.所谓竖听,是指一套题目从头听到尾,从第一题听到最后一题,重在着眼一篇练习,将题目逐一击破。
所谓横听,是指把相同题材和体裁的文章放在一块对照比较着听(比如将单人演讲的题目集中听,再将双人对话的题目集中听,分别体会两种体裁的考题,各有哪些设计题目和安插干扰信息的特点),从而迅速抓住同类型文章的规律,真正做到以不变应万变。
通过这样反复对比听,可以使我们很快掌握文章的模式和考题思路,在短时间内抓住考点,做到举一反三.考生可以从BEC中级历年考题中选取10篇不同题材和不同体裁的文章,依据以下几个步骤,横竖结合来进行精听训练。
Step 1:第一遍听录音时认真做题,对所选取的每段文章都认真仔细,注意时间,模拟考场氛围。
做完以后还需注意统计对错个数,并分析选项设置特点,练习快速扫描选项的能力。
Step 2:脱离文字材料再2-3遍(具体听几遍因人而异,但不要超过5遍)。
先不要对照文字材料听,应该反复使用播放设备(如MP3,电脑等)上的重复键,尽量凭单纯听力理解,努力听懂全文内容。
听最后一遍的时候,可以对照文字材料,边听边核对自己之前听力理解的正确率,并结合文字对题目加深理解,重点划出商务词汇作词汇积累。
对照原文听的时候还有一个重要任务,就是分析听不懂的原因——是语音、词汇还是语法?然后有的放矢地加以解决。
必要时可以进行听写训练,具体训练方法及考点总结方法,请参见博文:《听写训练法全程指导》,具体文章链接,请见首页的“公告”。
Step 3:在足够熟悉听力段落中的内容后,回过头来看题目和选项,一边听录音一边看,并在段落中找到每道题相应答案提示点,仔细体会BEC听力考试的考点设置手法,分析自己为什么被某些干扰项误导。

商务英语初级BEC写作复习指导一、报价 Offer某制造商发函给进口商,主要是更正上次报价的条件。
信函是这么写的:英文正文We would like to modify the offer given to you in our fax last week. We have discovered that the material to be used to make each unit will be NT$1500, not NT$1000. Thus, we regret to inform you that the offer must be raised from NT$4000 to NT$4500 per unit. We are very sorry for the error; no extra costs will be passed on to you. As we stated in the last fax, this offer remains in force until the end of the month. Again, we remind you that this is an offer without engagement.中文翻译我们想修改上星期传真给您的报价,因为我们发现制造每单项产品的原料价格应为新台币1500元,而不是1000元。
因此我们很抱歉通知您,原报价格必须从每单项4000元提高到4500元。
我们对这个错误感到十分抱歉,我们不会对您加收额外的费用了。
和上一封传真提过的一样,这个报价到月底有效。
此外,我们要再次提醒您,这是可变更报价。
短语解说modify the offer 修正报价"modify" ‘修正、变更’。
报价之后,如经对方同意,亦可做修正,例如变更报价之展期等。
offer remains in force until... 报价至...为止有"remain"‘维持不变’。
下半年BEC商务英语初级阅读练习及指导2016下半年BEC商务英语初级阅读练习及指导商务英语考试分两个阶段进行。
第一阶段为笔试,包括阅读、写作和听力,第二阶段为口试。
以下是yjbys网店铺整理的关于BEC商务英语初级阅读练习及指导,供大家备考。
篇一:Banks and Banking : Other Bank ServicesA modern bank provides many services other than checking accounts. ____1____If you went to a bank to open a savings account, you would go through almost the same procedures followed in applying for a checking account.____2____ Then you would be given a passbook in which your initial deposit would be recorded. All deposits and withdrawals from your account are entered into your passbook. ____3____ With a regular passbook savings account,you would be able to withdraw money wherever you needed it. All you would have to do is fill out a withdrawal order and present it, along with your passbook to the teller.All banks pay interest on savings accounts. ____4____ Banks also pay interest at different times. ____5____ Suppose,for example, that on January 1, you deposited $ 1,000 in a bank that paid 4 1/2 percent interest semiannually. By July 1,you would have earned $ 22.50 interest. This interest would automatically be credited to your account; and of you left it in the bank, along with your original deposit, you would receive interest on $ 1,022.50 for the next six-month period. That is,your interest would be compounded.A. But the majority of them pay semiannually,that is,every six months.B. The interest rate varies from bank to bank,but the general range is from 4 1/2 to 6 percent.C. This means that passbook contains an actual record of all transactions made and that you know the exact amount of savings you have at any one time.D. One of these is checking accounts.E. First you would be asked to fill out a signature card.F. But most banks pay interest at the end of a year.G. One of the most important of these is regular passbook savings.H. One can withdraw money whenever necessary.答案:1.G;2. ;3. ;4. B;5. A篇二:If you always thought of McDonald’s as an all-American company it,may surprise you to learn that the king of McDonald’s franchises is named Fujita and that he doesn’t eat hamburgers. ____1____ By ignoring many of the customs of both his native and his parent company,Fujita has made McDonald’s the top fast-food business in Japan and has changed the face of franchising.McDonald’s came to Japan in 1970 searching for a Japanese partner with whom to create a Japanese McDonald’s.Fujita was far from the richest potential candidate interviewed,but he was an eager entrepreneur who seemed willing to devote his energies to the new venture. ____2____ Almost immediately,however,Fujita began going his own way. The parent company recommended opening the first Japanese McDonald’s in the suburbs,where most American fast-food stores are located. Fujita had his own ideas. ____3____ He got hisway,opened the first Japanese McDonald’s in a department store in Tokyo,didn’t spend anything on advertising. ____4____ McDonald’s learned its lesson from Fujita and has since opened inner-city restaurant around the world. ____5____ While the Japanese seem fascinated with western styles and tastes,they often don’t think of themselves as consumers of American products. So Fujita’s McDonald’s franchises play down their American origins,to the point where,according to Fujita,some Japanese who visit the United States are surprised to find that we have ‘Makudonarudo’,as the Japanese say it,in America too.A. In fact,Fujita is unusual in many respects,and his uniqueness has made him very rich.B. Mc Donald’s took a chance and chose him.C. Fujita and McDonald’s continue to benefit from each other.D. Other companies might learn from the way Fujita marketed McDonald’s in Japan.E. Fujita likes to take credit for a rise in the average weight of his people.F. And within a year he had broken McDonald’s world record for one-day sales:$14,000.G. He thought the young pedestrians of Japan’s cities were more likely to give up Japan fish-and –rice diet for a hamburger than were the more traditional suburban dwellers.H. But Fujita himself prefers noodles to Big Macs.I. And the Tokyo McDonald’s that once caused an argument is now one of 500 that Fujita owns in Japan.答案:1. A;2. B;3. G;4. F;5. D句型补充:“This combination of food, feed and fuel demand for cropshas created an upward shift in the trend demand growth for agriculture products,” said Jeffrey Currie, head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs.他表示,到2010年,全球生物燃料需求可能从2005年的`每年100亿加仑增至每年250亿加仑,折合为年率每年增长20%。

2016年商务英语初级BEC复习指导讲义1. 掌握一定的商务英语词汇、短语和句型。
(1)词汇方面如commercials指广播、电视或电影院中播放的广告,还可指商业公司的股票。
例如:The TV show was interrupted by too many commercials.电视节日被太多的广告给打断。
(2)短语方面如soft selling软推销,指一种使用静悄悄的,不引人注意的诱导手段推销商品的方法,是一种“间接的”销售方法。
与hard selling相对。
hard selling 是“商接的”销售方法,通过不断重复产品的名称及其优秀的品质,使用一些有力的,但不一定受欢迎的手段去推销产品。
例如:Some salespeople adopt a direct‘hard sell’approach, while others use a more indirect‘soft sell’approach.有些商人采用直接的“硬销售法”,而有的商人使用更间接的“软销售法”。
(3) 句型方面有必要掌握一些国际商务英语中常用的句型,例如:We are writing in connection with? 今来函关于??I noted with interest your advertisement for...我饶有兴致地读到贵公司??的广告。
Yes, that’s true,but on the other hand,?没错,但另一方面??That’s exactly what I t hink.这和我不谋而合。
Maybe.but don’t you think??也许吧,但是你认为??如何?这些句型看似简单,但要做到在从事国际商务活动中对这些常用句型信于拈米也非易事。
平时要多积累这样一些非常实用的句型和短语。
又例如:You are wanted on the phone. 有你的电话。
As requested.we enclose?for your attention.应贵方要求,今随函寄上??请查收。
(4) 旧词“新义”有些单词,可能学生早已学过,但在商务环境下,意思有所不同。
那么,对他们来说便是新单词,必须同样牢记。
例如:protest 拒付(票据等)The cheques he issued were a all protested.他开出的支票均遭拒付。
honour 承兑All credit cards honoured here. 各种信用卡这里均通用。
protect 备款以支付??We hope you will duly protect our draft on presentation.望贵方在汇票提示时及时予以兑付。
factor 独立代理商。
在英国,factor是一种特殊代理人,受他人委托进行贸易活动,收取佣金,佣金的多少取决于其业绩。
The factor is active in financing product imports to the US. 该代理商为产品输入美国积极筹资。
royalty 专利/版权等的使用费;提成费;特权。
Besides copyright,the writer got a 10-percent royalty on sales. 除拥有版权外,作者得到百分之十的版税。
同义词、近义词、相似词的辨析国际商务英语学习者往往对一些商务英语中的同义词、近义词、相似词分辨不清,特别是在工作中由于选词不当,造成误解。
例如,credit card(信用卡)与letter of credit(信用证)之间其实毫无关系,但有的学生不知其问的差别。
又如,quotation和offer都有“报价”的意思,有什么区别呢?再如,表示公司的英语单词有不少,如:firm,company,corporation,branch,incorporation subsidiary,affiliated company等,它们之间意思有何不同?又如,B/L和B/E 有什么差别呢?对这样一些词之间的差别,商务英语学生应该明白。
举个例子:Chairman,President,C.E.O.,Managing Director,General ManagerChairman的意思是“董事长”,他是股份公司董事会的最高负责人,是常设的业务执行及代表人,是负责主持公司董事会会议的人。
当董事会成员对某项决策意见不统一时,董事长拥有决策权。
许多公司董事长兼作公司的执行总裁。
President在美国英语中相当于英国英语的Chairman(of the Board)。
C.E.O.是Chief Executive Officer的首字母缩写,其意思是“首席执行官”,也可以将其翻译为“总裁”。
“总裁”是公司的最高行政主管。
在美国英语中,“President” 也指“总裁”。
有的公司的董事长和总裁由两人担任。
总裁的位置仅次于董事长(chairman),高于副董事长(Vice-Chairman)。
Managing Director与General Manager都可翻译为“总经理”,但是,两者有所不同。
对一个普通的没有董事会的公司来说,“总经理”是该公司的最高领导者。
但是,假定A公司是一个设有董事会的股份有限公司,该公司管辖许多分公司,分公司的最高领导者也被称为是“总经理(G.M.)”,而总公司(Head Office/Headquarters)的“总经理”应翻译成“Managing Director(M.D.)”。
Managing Director仅次于Chairman。
C.E.O.有逐步取代M.D.的趋势。
又例如:discount,deduction,rebate,allowancediscount的意思是“打折”。
trade discount指的是制造商、批发商给零售商的折扣。
像商店的“打折”,就是discount。
若某商品原价是100英镑,现在该商品打九五折,英语为:5%discount。
deduction的意思是“广泛的减价”。
rebate的意思是“回扣”、“减让”。
即将已经支付的钱款返还一部分。
如:an export rebate(出U刚扣),a rebate of tax(退税)。
rebate有时用米指discount。
如:a rebate for prompt payment(立即付款的折扣)。
allowance有时用来表示“减价”,通常指商品质量不好或由于数量不够而减的价。
像以上词的区别,商务英语学习者有必要弄清楚,以便在工作中正确使用这些词汇,在做考试题目时亦可避免出错。
报价 Offer某制造商发函给进口商,主要是更正上次报价的条件。
信函是这么写的:英文正文We would like to modify the offer given to you in our fax last week. We have discovered that the material to be used to make each unit will be NT$1500, not NT$1000. Thus, we regret to inform you that the offer must be raised from NT$4000 to NT$4500 per unit. We are very sorry for the error; no extra costs will be passed on to you. As we stated in the last fax,this offer remains in force until the end of the month. Again, we remind you that this is an offer without engagement.中文翻译我们想修改上星期传真给您的报价,因为我们发现制造每单项产品的原料价格应为新台币1500元,而不是1000元。
因此我们很抱歉通知您,原报价格必须从每单项4000元提高到4500元。
我们对这个错误感到十分抱歉,我们不会对您加收额外的费用了。
和上一封传真提过的一样,这个报价到月底有效。
此外,我们要再次提醒您,这是可变更报价。
短语解说modify the offer 修正报价"modify" ‘修正、变更’。
报价之后,如经对方同意,亦可做修正,例如变更报价之展期等。
offer remains in force until... 报价至...为止有"remain"‘维持不变’。
"in force",这个词组是说‘有效、实行中’;"force"在此意指‘效力’。
"until"之后加日期,这个表达语等于"offer is valid until..."。
offer without engagement 不受约束之报价;可变更"engagement" ‘约束’。
此类报价方式之报价人有权变更原条件,即使已收到对方的确认函(电),仍可变更原报价。
句型总结●很抱歉通知您…1. We regret to inform you that...2. We are sorry to have to tell you that...3. It is with (sincere) apologies that..."regret"‘遗憾、抱歉’之意。
"inform" ‘通知、告诉’之意,比"tell"正式严肃。
此说法通常用于告诉对方坏消息时,一开始应先表示己方之遗憾或抱歉,让对方先有心理准备,再进一步解说问题所在,要求对方的谅解或认同。
1.快速泛读(fast extensive reading)平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。
这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍,要求读得快、理解和掌握书中的主要内容就可以了。
要确定一个明确的读书定额,定额要结合自己的实际,切实可行,可多可少。
例如每天读20页,一个学期以18周计算,就可以读21本中等厚度的书(每本书约120页)。
2.计时阅读(timed reading)课余要养成计时阅读的习惯。
计时阅读每次进行5~10分钟即可,不宜太长。
因为计时快速阅读,精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳,精力分散反而乏味。
阅读时先记下“起读时间”(sta rting time),阅读完毕,记下“止读时间”(finishing time),即可计算出本次阅读速度。
