零基础考BEC高级需要准备什么教材,如何零基础备考BEC高级,今天小编给大家带来了零基础备考BEC高级技巧,希望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

如何零基础备考BEC高级

首先是自我陈述:

大三下学期考的Bec高级,刷单词一个月,系统的复习了三个月。擦线通过。

考完bec最大的收获不是找工作,是学习一门语言所带来的成就感和充实感,包括考之前六级520分,考完bec再去考一次六级到了605的一项进步,虽然100的提升能够说明的问题不算特别大,总归是满足和欣慰付出的回报总在坎坷之后姗姗来迟。

备考期间心无旁骛,是大学期间为数不多的作息规律阶段;单词量检测从考前6500左右飙到10000,学到了一些商科知识;口语是短板的同学,完全能借此机会锻炼一下口语能力;六级超过600分,也意外得到了一笔学校发的六级优秀奖学金,开心的在食堂多加了两根鸡腿。

好啦,要是问考试的人后不后悔这个问题,答案一般都是否,因为提升自己永远是一个快乐而温柔的事情,比错付时光令人骄傲得多。

所以,技多不压身,如果你不是忙到昏天黑地,不是累得电光四射,不是懒得抽筋掉渣,不是颓的灰头土脸,建议根据自己的基础,选择合适的等级去考:初级不建议考,中级过六级就可以,高级在六级不错,专八附近的水平都可以放心大胆的去报名。

//一、考试介绍//

剑桥商务英语证书考试(BEC)是教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作,于1993年起举办的考试。该系列考试是一项语言水平考试,根据公务或商务工作的实际需要,对考生在一般工作环境下和商务活动中使用英语的能力从听、说、读、写四个方面进行全面考查,对成绩及格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一的成绩证书。含金量方面,雅思托福托业都要优于bec,出国留学和外企、普通公司等都更看重雅思托福成绩。但找工作还是以个人的实际英语应用能力为根基,毕竟语言是一门工具,是人去驾驭语言而不是被分数所定义。重要性方面,一般找工作面试所需的,无非就是看普通的大学四六级水平、英语专业学生的专四专八水平,最重要的还是英文口语交际能力或者日常办公能力;考博或者考研面试时,研究生导师无非看重学生翻译外文文献的能力,所以为了考试是其次,学到实打实的知识、锻炼到语言能力才是根本。

//二、考试内容//

上半年报名截止时间为3月20日左右,下半年报名截止时间为9月17日左右。全国共设有58个考点。第一阶段为笔试,包括阅读、写作和听力,第二阶段是口语考试。

答题卡由教育部考试中心海外考试处汇集后寄英国剑桥大学考试委员会评卷。评出成绩后(BEC初级是 Pass with merit、Pass、N、F四等;BEC中级是A、B、C、N、F五等;BEC高级是A、B、C、N、F五等,),打印成绩通知单(包括不及格的N、 F、)和成绩证书,寄至教育部考试中心后寄发各考点向考生颁发。成绩证书终生有效:这点比2年有效的雅思托福之类考试性价比要高。难度分为三类:

BEC初级(BEC Preliminary Level)BEC中级(BEC Vantage Level)BEC高级(BEC Higher Level)

//三、具体流程//

报名、信息确认、打印准考证和成绩查询都是在同一个网站: http://bec.neea.edu.cn

123.jpg

2018-2019年度BEC初级考试费为530元人民币/人;

BEC中级考试费为660元人民币/人;

BEC高级考试费为825元人民币/人。可以刷支付宝或者网银。

阅读、写作、听力通常一般都在上午考,口语考试在下午进行。

每部分考完后回收答题纸和试卷,所以一定要严格按照考试时间答题。

提示:不同城市的考位容量都是有限的,报满为止。所以要根据各考点的容量报名,选择最合适的考点先下手为强哦。成绩一般在2~3个月出来,成绩要去自己考试的那个考点凭身份证领取,证书质感很不错。

//四、学习方法//

说说自己的情况以供参考吧。

考试主要有四个部分,各占1/4分数。我前期有不停刷单词app+纸质版词汇书+打印必考单词资料,然后后期三个月内除了假期每天保持稳定的5~8小时学习时长,几本真题辑做个三四遍的话,古人云,书读百遍,其义自见是科学的,许许多多疑问和难点在反复探索中可以很好的解决掉。我的购书记录:

1234.jpg

一定要谨记,任何考试真题为王,用好这个致命武器。

1.阅读part

中级是5篇,45道题;高级是6篇,52道题。以bec-h的六道大题为例:段落搭配+句子匹配+单项选择+完形填空+词组填空+短文改错

六篇文字各有侧重,难度不一,建议自行安排做题顺利,先易后难。多背单词、多刷真题、多练逻辑,bec阅读玩得就是同义替换,所以一定经常揣摩同一个意思的n种不同表达,抓住文章和各段的Main idea对于写作翻出花样也有益处,同义替换真的非常牛逼。

用铅笔和橡皮擦!除非是任性地买了好几套真题就直接用中性笔上手吧。

我习惯用铅笔做题,红笔注释,每套卷子大概做了三遍以上,每一个单词会记住延伸的含义,以防不测。可以在每套卷子title那里记录自己的正确率噢,看到正确率的逐步提升很惬意很安心。

平常可以多去看一些商业性的,公司经营之类的新闻外刊,因为BEC考试的阅读原文来源基本上就是:报刊杂志,公司网站,商业期刊,公众演讲稿,行业书籍、MBA智库、经济学人日报等等。这里我推荐一个丁晓钟老师的《英美外刊超精读》。

P.S.考Bec帮助我的六级阅读理解拿了满分,我真的太服气了。

2.写作part

一般大致可以分为商务便条、便函、书信、以及报告类。

高级考试写作主要考的是商务信函、调查报告以及建议书的写作,而且是三选一。

Bec的写作可以借鉴雅思的写作参考书,因为report格式很相似。

文笔优美的同学可以写letter,我就直接放弃了,不太喜欢letter的人称视角。一定要注意格式,所有的BEC作文另起一行时,没有空格,直接写。可以买一些资料辅助练习了平时的写作,比如星火英语或者美森。

3.听力part

听力大部分是优雅的英式发音,偶尔混杂着一些印度、澳大利亚、加拿大口音,能听懂还是有很大难度的。

建议的方法是先精听,再攻克单独一串的题目。

可以调节音频的倍速跟着录音来做真题,逐句逐词的都要搞懂,不能囫囵吞枣,你会发现英语native speaker奇妙的对话艺术,打开新世界的大门之后,语感的提升会让你惊喜。Bec的听力绝对是个持久战,令人痛苦地想喝一斤二锅头。

17年的那个夏天我坐在一楼空旷的窄小讨论室里,晚上九点钟耳机里放着听力,连做两三套听力题都是铩羽而归,正确率跌至30%以下,一群人讨论着A,心里想着B,选项写着C,答案又是D,弱小又无助的我流下了挫败的泪水,纸巾刚巧不够我擤鼻涕。然而望着窗外的路灯告诉自己报名费725,及格要紧,及格要紧的捡起卷子重新来过。

但当时痛苦的回忆换个年纪看来十分美好,那天夜晚十点出了讨论室就碰到室友,迎着晚风在路边走,靠近樱花树的灯光闪烁,南湖连接着天幕星光点点,连教学楼都变得温柔了起来,谁年少没有努力的一股倔劲?还是及格要紧。

有的考点高级一些会用耳机播放听力,但是有的考点用的是广播或者录音机外放,特别影响效果。比如我当年武大考场,附近的广场舞歌声不绝于耳,十分聒噪的情况下很考验人的意志力,当天我的考场听力结束之后的场子,下午很多座位都空了,光听力劝退了一批人,可见坚持到最后都是赢家啊。

4.口语part

第一部分是简单的自我介绍,第二部分是考官出题,一个人说完自己的题目回答,另一个人就搭档所说的内容进行提问;第三部分是两人一起讨论一个考官给出的问题。

大部分都是关于公司经营销售策略、教育培训、劳动者权利、行业背景相关的题目。可以买口语手册来看,也可以看网上的一些资源汇总,我这里有部分,需要的朋友可以发私信“口语”给我,我打开公众号之后尽量回复哈:可以微信搜索Fevrier

有同学好友做搭档是很棒的,没有的话可以去微博上找找,好处是可以提前预设,配合默契,打有准备之仗。实在不行的话人性化的考场会匹配两个落单的口语考生。

我的口语partner是提前一个多月就在微博上认识而且加了微信,但那天考完听力她放了我鸽子,于是我体验了一次海底捞单身顾客发小熊陪伴的感觉,赞。平常练习口语要养成控制时间的好习惯,有时间意识才不会在考场上手足无措被打断或者一下就结束了。

温馨提示:利用好1分钟的答题准备时间,考官会提供纸笔,我们可以迅速写下要点和构思,连贯自己的回答;在搭档答题的时候记下你待会想要提的问题,给考官留下好印象;注意礼节,没听清问题千万不要强行挽尊,直接pardon,please。

这里大家最好关注一个微博@Bec商务英语,因为全国各地很多考生考完了都会@他,说当天自己考了哪些口语题目,一起共享。公众号的话是Maruko,里面有一些干货和碎碎念。

//五、备考时间//

基础特别强的同学可能裸考都没太大问题,中级稍微简单,很适合上班族。但像我这样基础中等的是需要用心对待高级考试的,难度较大,理想复习时间是3个月~5个月,战线拉得太长不是一件好事。所以抽出固定时间,沉下心来几个月吧。

我一共用了3个月左右,在学校备考,优点是环境安逸,硬件设施和学习氛围较好,最后考了182,查完成绩请室友吃了顿火锅,开心的不行。

放上成绩截图,也祝大家顺顺利利通过~

码完这篇文章手有点酸,不过准备了一个小小福利放在文章末尾,谢谢耐心看到这里的你,希望你喜提bec合格证书。

//六、复习资料//

官方课本很鸡肋,听话别买了。

以下是推荐参考书目:

1.新东方 《BEC词汇词根+联想记忆法》

2.人民邮电出版社《真题2345➕模拟题》

3.陈小慰的 《新编剑桥商务口试必备手册》

4.美森教育 《剑桥商务英语真题集超详解》《50天攻克BEC》系列

以下是推荐APP:

1.知米背单词:我很喜欢这个知米简洁的页面和词根词缀组合,一目了然,缺点是付费内容非常多,vip充值才能真正get这个app的好处。

2.每日英语听力:资料翔实,播放便捷。

3.网易云音乐:里面搜索有全套bec听力,我只告诉你。

4.英语趣配音:搞怪小app,闲暇时间学习累了来放松一下。

携带物品:1.必备:报名时使用的同一个身份证/护照原件、准考证、笔。2.水杯,小零食等。适当补充体力的零食例如牛肉干、坚果、巧克力,因为阅读和作文、听力这三场之间会有大概十分钟的休息间隙,考试容易使人疲劳。

2020上半年高级商务英语考试阅读理解习题

Read the following article on negotiating techniques and the question on the opposite page .

For each question 15 – 20 , mark one letter (A, B, C or D ) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.

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

C dress in a way to make you feel comfortable.

D try to make the other side like you

18 According to Dr Cohen, understanding the other person will help you to

A gain their friendship

B speed up the negotiations

C plan your next move.

D convince them of your point of view

19 Deals sometimes fail because

A negotiations have gone on too long

B the companies operate in different ways

C one party risks more than the other.

D the lawyers work too slowly

20 Dr Cohen mentions children’s negotiation techniques to show that you should

A be prepared to try every route

B try not to make people feel guilty

C be careful not to exhaust yourself

D control the decision-making process.

Describing graphs Ex 4: Sample answer

The share price of IBM and AOL showed a upward trend from June until the end of 1998.However, while AOL shares then continued to rise steadily over the next three months, the price of IBM shares fell slightly. By March 1999 both shares were worth about $100.

AOL shares then shot up, almost doubling in value within four weeks. They reached a high of $180 in mid-April before collapsing to just over $100 per share at the beginning of May. There was a slight recovery during that month however, despite this by June 1999 the price of AOL shares was once again about $100. In contrast, despite minor fluctuations, IBM shares made a steady recovery over the three month period, finishing at just over $100, almost equal to AOL.
