BEC中级写作指导与范文:备忘录的写法
BEC中级开考在即,各位考生都准备好了吗?中级写作中可以选择写备忘录,看似不难但还是有很多要注意的地方。下面就看看备忘录的注意事项和范例吧。
注意事项:
1. 仔细阅读作文要求,判断该题是要求你写备忘录还是便条?因为这关系到作文行文中语言表达的正式程度。
2. 根据题目要求核对所写作文是否包括了该写的三个部分。
核对作文第一稿的长度,必要时可作修改。
3. 写完后,校对作文中的语法、词汇及文体是否正确、恰当。
写给个人的备忘录:
范例:
你是一家IT公司的人力资源部经理。
你打算请Cooway公司 为你安排一次为期两天由10人参加的团队组建培训。
√ 给你的助理写一个字数为40-50的备忘录:
√ 告诉她与培训项目主办者取得联系。
√ 说明项目的参加人员和持续时间。
√ 安排两个可以利用的周末
提示:
1) 按照英语备忘录的谋篇习惯,一般直接进入主题,不需要寒暄和问候等客套。
2) 看清角色要求,把握好文体。作为经理,给助手写备忘录,行文问题不能太正式,宜直呼其名,而不必套用Mr.或Mrs.等称呼。通用,结尾处也无须客套,署名也只需要写名,不需要写姓。
Jim
Could you please contact Cooway to organize a team-building event for sales staff? There would be ten participants and the course should last for two days. I suggest the weekend of 24/25 November or, if that is not possible, the following weekend.
Thank, Alan

给总部的全体员工写一个字数为40-50的备忘录:
√ 宣布对Sally Jolie女士的任命。
√ 说明她开始工作的具体时间。
要求总部员工准备欢迎她。
提示:
一般不用信头称呼的.形式,也不采用在结尾处署上写信人的名字的方式,而是在备忘录的开头处写明收信人To________,在结尾处写明具体的写信人From___________以及主题:Re:__________ 或Subject:____________。
To: Head Office staff
From: Tom Beck

范文:
(Sample for reference)
PART ONE
Dear Mr Beard,
Mr. Lee ,one of my old clients ,has interest in our PCX phone machine. He would like to bring 10 samples and some brochures back home to make a trial sale. You may contact him directly on Tel 3108881.
PART TWO
Nowadays, less people like to spend their holidays at home. More people go camping outside or even travel abroad. The changes are caused mainly by three factors. First ,people become more open. Instead of staying at home, they visit foreign countries to know the different races. Secondly ,in the 1990s , house wives are more free from the heavy housework with more and more household utensils. Families are very happy to spend holidays outside with mothers or wives. Thirdly, travelling abroad can also mean enjoying comfortable weather in another country. Therefore less people go to crowded seaside ,they turn to other ways.
BEC考试大致流程:
BEC考试的顺序依次是阅读,写作,听力,口语。
考试一般9点钟开始,但请各位考生以准考证上的时间为准,最好提前30分钟到达。
记得吃早餐。如果方便,可以带瓶水,但是注意不要让水影响到你的试卷和答题卡。提前上厕所。
检查自己的是否带了准考证、身份证、铅笔、黑色中性笔、橡皮。
进入教室,你会发现黑板上写着各部分的具体考试时间。不要慌张,沉着应对。
笔试部分:
考试开始后,首先会发给你阅读试卷,考试进行至50分钟左右,老师会提醒填涂答题卡。考试进行到1个小时左右,老师会收阅读试卷和答题卡,同时发给你写作试卷。写作45分钟(此为中级考试时间,高级写作70分钟,初级是阅读写作共90分钟)完成。结束这两项试题大约在上午10:45,之后,休息5—10分钟,你可以离开座位去厕所。
休息结束后,开始听力考试,听力有试音,在休息时间进行。听力考试程序如下:
1.发试卷、答题卡。
2.考试开始播放录音。拆开试卷,检查试卷。有任何问题,在此时间内提问,英语汉语都可以。
3.考试正式开始。
4.录音播放完毕后,老师确定10分钟后收听力的试卷和答题卡。
这里需要说明的是:按照剑桥大学官方的指示,在开始播放录音之后,你才可以拆开试卷,浏览试题。但是中国的考试都是提前发卷的,一般是提前5分钟。所以大家可以利用这多出来的5分钟时间,先浏览第二部分试题,然后再是第一部分、第三部分。
口试部分:
笔试当天下午或者第二天上午进行口语考试。其先后顺序是按照姓名首字母排列的。一定要注意自己的编号。口语考试程序如下:
1.被叫号的人进入候考室候考。
2.在候考室内进行分组。由叫号老师分组,一般是14组,28个人同时候考。
需要注意的是:候考大约有10-15分钟时间,要耐心等待。利用这段时间你可以和搭档再练练口语,分配好口语第三部分话题任务,定下来由谁先开头,记住两个人别争吵。
口语考试采取面试形式,试题由三部分构成,是有关商务话题的简短谈话和讨论。考场内有两位考官,一位负责提问, 一位负责评分。评分的考官(assessor)按以下四个标准给分:语法和词汇、谈话组织、发音、互动式交流。提问的考官(interlocutor)对整个测试给个总分。
BEC中级考试
我刚刚参加完商务英语中级考试,考试前的一些事情大家分享一下。
我们是8:00到考试地点,然后在考试的楼门口看自己的考场序号,然后进考场,进考场的时候,不可以带笔带,只准待铅笔,水笔,橡皮,身份证,准考证。其他的什么都不可以带,手表也不可以。考试前监考老师会一个人一个人的进行扫描,摸兜。
然后距离每项考试结束前10分钟不可以上厕所,听力考试时不可以上厕所。
下午考口语时,100个人在一个教室理面候考,监考老师回一次叫14个考生准备,两个人一组分成7组在教室外面候考。
口试共15个考场,每个考场两个考官,口试不难,只要流利就好。这是我考试总结的。
The Importance of “Style” in Personal and Business Writing
Some of the most basic tips to remember when writing include:
Avoid the use of slang words
Try not to use abbreviations (unless appropriately defined)
Steer away from the use of symbols (such as ampersands [&])
Clichés should be avoided, or at the very least, used with caution
Brackets are used to play down words or phrases
Dashes are generally used for emphasis
Great care should ALWAYS be taken to spell the names of people and companies correctly
Numbers should be expressed as words when the number is less than 10 or is used to start a sentence (example: Ten years ago, my brother and I…). The number 10, or anything greater than 10, should be expressed as a figure (example: My brother has 13 Matchbox cars.
Quotation marks should be placed around any directly quoted speech or text and around titles of publications.
Keep sentences short
While the above tips cover the most common mistakes made when writing letters, memos and reports, they in no way cover everything you need to know to ensure your written communications are accurate and understood.
