二、备考方法

1、 听力口音繁杂,需要多熟悉各个地区口音

BEC听力考试英音居多,占整个听力的80%左右,不过有时也会出现美音或其他口音,这就要求考生在平时的训练中以英音培养为主,同时也要兼具其他口音的敏感度,不能只听BBC或VOA。

听力形式往往模拟真实的商务场景,比如接打电话的形式,会有一个人声音较轻,不易察觉,要求考生在听力的过程中始终保持专注度和注意力高度集中。

平时练听力时多注意连读、弱读、重读等现象,同时,多积累并掌握一些常见的英美发音迥异的单词(如:schedule、itinerary、garage、leisure、clerk等)和发音特殊的单词(如:aisle、receipt、coupon、brochure等)。

2、 了解掌握商务知识,学会把握整体内容

BEC听力考试中较为困难的应该是判断整个听力内容的基本情况,你对听力内容的整体把握程度有时要比听懂一些细枝末节的单词更重要。

要想有效地解答BEC听力题,其关键在于:平时工作生活中多关注商务新闻,多阅读外文期刊,从中多熟悉积累商务背景知识。在这里也给大家推荐一些适合的英文报刊:

以The Economist/The Guardian/The Times/BBC作为代表,还有金融求职必备Financial Times. 英式的写作风格,绝大部分的议论文都争取做到平衡各种不同的观点。

最推荐的就是“英国卫报The Guardian”的言论版文章。不少文章文字都很流畅,论点有论据加以佐证,可以摘抄到很多实用的议论文单词和句式。

多记录商务专业词汇、固定搭配或习语表达,有意识地强化反复记忆,达到一听就能反应出来意思的效果。这样备考更有针对性,能够理解并从容应对考试中将会遇到的各种听力素材,从而收到事半功倍的效果。

以上就是2021年BEC考试的通知及备考技巧,希望对各位考生有所帮助。想要报考的小伙伴要抓紧时间选择考区,然后尽快学习起来,争取一次性通过考试,早日找到满意的工作。

Dear Sirs,

The order mentioned above was delivered to our warehouse 2 days after it arrived in Chicago 8th Jan. and we regret that we have to complain about the conditions in which we received it.

In our order we stipulated that we required four dozen of your men's suits pattern CS/7, and in your invoice, No. CP/78, you charged us for this quantity, but it is clear that you have packed only three dozen in Case 3, 【B1】______ . We would therefore appreciate an explanation and your prompt action to send us the missing dozen suits.

Very much more serious is the condition of the ladies' trousers suits that you packed in Case 2. Of the six dozen that this case contains, 【B2】______ . It is quite clear that this is solely due to the totally inadequate way in which they had been packed for you had not lined the case with any waterproof paper. 【B3】______

【B4】______ , whereas in our order we had stated that we required your pattern CS/9 which is stated in your catalogue as being made up from heavy-weight material. There is no market here for tropical suits, and so we must emphasize 【B5】______ .

We must stress that the mistakes that you have made in this first order we have placed with you have caused considerable problems for us. We had hoped to include your products in the Spring Sale that is due to open at the end of February, but as it is, it is now clear that we shall not be able to do so. We wish to stress, therefore, that unless you take immediate action to correct the mistakes that you have made, 【B6】______ .

We now expect your prompt reply.

Yours,

Faithfully

C. we shall certainly not consider further orders with you and shall report your company to the American Trade Promotion Office in New York

D. and we think the price is a little bit too high

E. forty have become very sodden in transit and most of these show signs of rotting

G. we therefore expect your prompt action to remedy this situation

H. and there is no sign of the missing dozen in either Case 1 or 2

【B1】______

Financial Planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies

正确答案:Suggested answers: a.In any single market three basic factors determine the boundaries of the pricing decision. The price floor or minimum price is bounded by product cost. The price ceiling or maximum price is bounded by competitive prices for comparable products and ability of customers to pay. Between the floor and ceiling for every product there is an optimum price which is a function of the demand for the product and the cost of supplying the product. The international executive must develop a pricing system and pricing policies that 'address these fundamental factors in each of the national markets in which his company operates. b.In addition to developing a pricing system the system must also be consistent with a number of uniquely international constraints. In addition to the diversity of national markets in all three basic dimensions—cost competition and demand—the international executive is also confronted by conflicting governmental tax policies and claims as well as government controls such as dumping legislation resale price maintenance legislation price ceilings and general review of price levels. Other factors affecting the international pricing decisions are the often surprisingly high international transportation costs middlemen in elongated international channels of distribution and multinational accounts demanding equal price treatment regardless of location. c.Pricing decisions have a major impact on a number of societal groups: consumers customers employees stockholders the public interest and of course the competition. These interest groups are affected by pricing decisions which in turn constrain the international executive. A widespread effect of international business is to lower prices. Within the corporation there are many interest groups and frequently conflicting price objectives. The divisional vice-president is concerned about profitability at the divisional level. Regional executives are concerned about profitability at the country level. d.The direction of international marketing seeks competitive prices in world markets.. The controller and financial vice-president are concerned about profits. The manufacturing vice-president seeks long runs for maximum manufacturing efficiency. The tax manager is concerned about compliance with government transfer pricing legislation and company counsel is concerned about the antitrust implications of international pricing practices. With such a large number of divergent and often conflicting interests combined with the limitations of our existing measures of demand it is premature to expect that we should be able to determine“optimal”prices in international marketing. A more feasible objective for the international executive is to formulate international pricing strategy and policy that will contribute rather than detract from company sales and profit objectives worldwide.
