BEC商务英语初级阅读应试技巧

为了让大家更好的准备商务英语BEC考试，小编给大家整理BEC商务英语写作技巧,下面小编就和大家分享，来欣赏吧一下。

BEC商务英语写作技巧

第一部分 写一篇40-50字的电子邮件、备忘录、便条等

主要考查考生按照题目要求完成任务的能力，组织衔接观点的能力，语言表达的得体性，词语的丰富性，语法、拼写的准确性等。

应试技巧

仔细阅读要求，确定所要写的是电子邮件、备忘录、还是便条，注意格式。

一定要完成所指定的3项任务，并进行合理发挥。不要完全照抄题目要求的任务提示，尽量变化一下，如果实在不知道如何变化，或没有把握，至少要把要求补充为完整的句子。

字数一定要控制在40-50以内，多字或少字都会扣分。

根据写信人和收信人的关系和要求写的内容判断使用语气的正式程度。

第一部分主要是公司内部交流，上级给下级写，语气不必特别正式，下级给上级写，最好采用正式语气。给平级同事写信，语气也不必太正式。上级给下级安排日常工作或下级向上级请示工作，最好用正式语气。平级之间的一般交流，可以不太正式。切记不要把不正式和不礼貌混淆，不正式不代表不礼貌。无论给谁写信都要礼貌。

注意单词和语法的准确性，宁可用正确的简单句，也不用错误的复杂句。

最好写前打个草稿，写后仔细检查。检查内容包括是否完成3个任务，单词、语法、文体是否正确、恰当，字数是否符合要求，格式是否正确等。

注意卷面整洁，这会给阅卷老师至少要留下一个比较好的第一印象。第二部分 写一篇120-140字的商务信函、报告或建议书。

商务信函写作应试技巧

构思正式的商务信函时，须考虑以下几个方面：

写信目的。要明确写信目的，是为了提供信息，咨询，还是投诉等?希望得到什么结果?

读者对象。明确读者对象，使用正确的文体，得体的语言。

条分缕析。分段有助于增加行文的明晰程度，增加信函的可读性。写信要清楚分段，有条理的表达自己的观点，每段只表达一个主题。也可以适当用弹点、数字等技巧以帮助读者理解自己的信。

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。

确定5个要点都包括在内。

字数一定要控制在120-140以内，多字或少字都会扣分。

注意单词和语法的准确性，宁可用正确的简单句，也不用错误的复杂句。

最好写前打个草稿，写后仔细检查。检查内容包括是否完成5个任务，单词、语法、文体是否正确、恰当，字数是否符合要求，格式是否正确等。

注意卷面整洁，这会给阅卷老师至少要留下一个比较好的第一印象。商务报告和建议书写作技巧

一定按照题目要求完成各项任务(有5项任务必须完成)

注意格式。报告和建议书要有总标题，每部分要有小标题。

要使用标准的常用表达。

使用文体正式的语言，不要使用缩略式。

专有名词，如公司名称，可以使用缩略式，以少占字数。

布局要清晰得体。Introduction ， conclusion和 recommendation部分尽量用一句话表达，那样显得简洁。Finding 部分注意使用一些技巧，如分段，弹点等帮助读者理解你的意思，每段只表达一个中心意思。

论点一定要进行充分论证，注意逻辑性，要使用连接词以使行文衔接更好。

句子长度是否恰当，长句最好不要超过20个单词。

注意词汇、语法的正确性和丰富性。

总字数是否符合要求，多字少字都会扣分。

注意卷面整洁，这会给阅卷老师至少要留下一个比较好的第一印象。

写前打好草稿，写好后仔细检查。商务报告格式

BEC商务英语高级写作应试技巧

写作部分

BEC HIGHER写作部分主要涉及商业信函和图表写作两部分的内容，现具体介绍如下：

商业信函

第一章 格式问题

1. 格式问题：

请同学们在BEC的写作中采用平头式的写法。

收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的左上方

地址、称呼和结束礼词后没有标点符号

日期在右上方

段落从定格开始，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)

写信人的名字和头衔在签名下方

2. 称呼和结束礼词的注意事项：

称呼的写法遵循下列原则：

Dear Sir or Madam 写信给某一公司，不确定具体的收信人

Dear Sir 对男士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名

Dear Madam 对女士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名

Dear Mr Smith 对男士

Dear Ms Smith 对已婚或未婚的女士

Dear Mrs Smith 对已婚女士

Dear Miss Smith 对未婚女士

Dear John (此处John 为英语中常用男名) 对朋友或你比较熟悉的人(通常为多年生意伙伴)

称呼与结束礼词存在对应的关系，请同学们特别注意：

Dear Sir or Madam Yours faithfully

Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss Smith Yours sincerely

Dear John Bestwishes

以下均为错误用法：

Dear Mr John

Dear Mr John Smith

3. 日期：

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 2003

在英国指的是：6月21日

在美国指的是：12月6日

因此日期要写成：12 June 2003

注释：在bec考试中同学们可以采用恩波所推荐的用法。但是12 06 2003 的用法仍然是可以使用的，因为bec为英版考试。

在使用恩波推荐的用法时，要记住月份使用大些字母开头。天后不必写th、rd、nd或者st。

写法问题

预备参加bec考试的同学们由于缺乏商务写作的实际经验，对于写作部分都比较郁闷。恩波结合历年考试实际，为大家准备了15类共计50个经典的实战句型，供大家在考场上使用。我们对每一个句型都模拟了一种环境：

剑桥商务英语BEC初级写作技巧

WRITING

Part 1

这部分要求考生写40-50词的短信息，文体有通知、留言、备忘录、电子邮件等。

如：

You are the General Manager of a large computer company. Next week you are going to Shanghai to discuss an important contract.Write a note to your secretary：Saying when you want to leave and return;Asking her to book flights;Telling her to which hotel to book a room.Write 40-50 words.

写作时，考生首先要明白题目赋予写作者的身份，然后确定短文中必须包含的题目指定的要求;再后考虑语言是否流畅，是否有语法错误、拼写错误等。

Part 2

这部分要求考生写120-140词的商务信、报告、建议书等。考生要熟悉有关抱怨、道歉、解释、询盘等商务信写法;写信时要注意信的格式，适当地分段会使得看时感觉更好。一般一个主题成一段。此外，还应该熟悉非正式的商务短报告写法，商务报告中一般要包括信息(findings/information)、结论(conclusions)、建议(suggestions/recommendation)等内容。文章的词数最好按要求在120-140之间，稍微多几个或少几个影响不大。不过，最好按要求写作。考生写作时，务必充分理解题目要求，明白写作者的身份，看懂并结合提供的信息。

Part 1 (Questions 1-12)

第一部分大多情况下是电话对话。答题纸上分为3个部分，以表格、发票、日程安排、留言条等形式出现，每部分有4个空格，要求考生听录音填空(听两遍)。考生拿到试卷后应抓紧时间将题目看一遍，根据文字信息，揣测填充题中可能要填什么词。一般来说，这部分要填的内容是：公司名称、人名、号码(电话号码、定单号码等)、日期等，这一题主要是考考生的辨别词汇的能力。在听第一遍时，考生要尽可能的记下有关的名称、地点、号码等内容，听第二遍时检查所填内容，填上漏掉的内容。该部分的电话对话内容一般是：客户抱怨、道歉、询价、订座、订货、安排、计划等。

Part 2 (Questions 13-22)

该部分分为两个部分，一般为两段独白。考生必须抓紧时间弄懂供选择的单词的意思。这些单词一般是有关职业、身份的，如：hotel manager， salesman， technician， travel agent， engineer， cook， tourist guide， money changer等;另外，这部分单词也可以表示功能、行为等，如：refusing， agreeing， making excuses， boring work， an uncomfortable office， low pay， to order a meal， to book a room 等，所以，考生在听录音前，先快速阅读供选择的单词的意思，然后，在听录音时要特别抓住key words，辩明独白所要表白的主要意思，再作出选择。需要当心的是：有些单词听上去似乎是答案，但别忙着确定，一定要等听完该段独白的全部录音才能最后定答案。

Part 3 (Questions 23-30)

该部分通常是两个人或更多人之间的对话，如：开会讨论、面试、一般业务会谈等;另外也可能不是对话，而是独白，如：业务报告、产品演示会的讲话，工作汇报等。考生做这一题时首先仍然是先快速阅读选择题，从而了解录音中对话或独白的背景、大意，以便听录音时有一个大致的方向。

考生听录音时要认真将主要内容抓住，决不能因为某一个问题没听懂就停下来，听录音的过程中可以针对每一个问题做些快速记录，记下录音中人的身份、讨论的问题，以及不同的观点;如果是独白，对独白的主题，涉及到的人或物等则要尽可能弄清楚。
