考试介绍

BEC商务英语的特点：

A．实用性：不同于TOFEL，IELTS，和四、六级考试。BEC PREMINARY考试1993年由剑桥大学首先在中国推出，它具 有很强的实用性。它主要考查考生在真实的和各种各样的商务环境下实际运用英语交流的能力。它的内容包含办公室英语、 饭店英语、机场英语、电话英语、社交英语、旅游英语和传媒英语等。学习的目的明确，就是为了迅速适应工作环境。

BEC商务英语证书被中国地区和全球许多知名企业认证（可参看教育部网站），已经成为进入诸如西门子、普华永 道、安永、英国石油、强生等大企业的敲门砖。同时。BEC商务英语考试的模式也被这些企业的入门考试所采纳， 很多企业的招聘考试试题采用了BEC考试的题目。因此，学习BEC能够使您更有信心进入高薪的大企业。 Example: 以饭店英语为例 饭店入住英语

book/reserve/check in/check out/ single room/double room/twin room 饭店设施英语

sauna /modem socket / bar/ indoor(outdoor) swimming pool minigolf-course / shopping arcade/ gift shop/hairdresser’s gymnasium with weight-training equipment 饭店服务英语

secretarial service / 24-hour room service/ nightly shoe cleaning 细分为：

1）日常寒暄问候，介绍自己，举荐他人，填写介绍个人或公司的表格，会写求职信及简历。 2）询问和介绍工作情况。

3）打（接）电话，交换信息，用笔记录电话内容，了解常用缩语。

4）制定、安排会议活动及日期，交流和确定计划内容，介绍新产品、市场、市场潜力，询问、了解或解释生产信息、产品细节，产品评估和比较产品价格。

5）了解解释生产体系，生产过程，生产设备和条件，定货、交货、人员招聘和提升。 6）报告解释公司财政、生产情况的变化、生产进展和取得的成果。 7）预订房间、机票、租车、住房、结帐、定餐和询问旅行安排。

B．BEC英语是典型的英国英语，那么英国英语在以下一些方面与美国英语有很大的不同，在考试中阅读，写作和听力中要特别注意。 1.单词拼写不同 （考试中全部为英式拼法） centre /center harbour/harbor catalogue /catalog cheque /check

2.同一单词发音不同： advertisement leisure

3.同一意思习惯用不同单词来表达，比如： 电梯 lift/elevator 地铁 metro/subway

手电筒flashlight/torch 简历curriculum vitae （CV）/resume 不同的表达句型有

Have you got any money on you? / Do you have any money on you?

4.另外很重要的一点是BEC英语全部为英国英语发音，而不是美音。因此，平时可以多收听BBC的广播和英国发音的磁带。
