题目解读

BEC中级写作考试总时长为45分钟,根据词数要求和分值,通常小作文写作不超过15分钟。应试创作可分成以下三步:1.审题构思Read & Plan (3 mins);2.写作Write (10 mins);

3.检查Check (2 mins)。

Part One的题目背景通常是一事、两人、三要点。本题中,最近公司利润增长,“你”作为公司的董事总经理(Managing Director)将对全体员工(all staff)进行奖励,备忘录的内容需包括三个要点:感谢员工的贡献,解释利润增长原因,并告之奖励内容。正文词数要求为40~50个词,因为商务英语要求简洁,词数要求有上限,这和四、六级以及考研写作只规定词数下限有所区别,但实际考试时允许少量超标,比如接近60词。

内容、结构、语言和形式

内容

首先可根据各要点的逻辑关系调整写作顺序,比如在本题中,先解释利润增长的原因,再感谢员工,最后宣布奖励。其次应针对要点简要展开论述,比如利润增长的原因可能是销售量增加(the increase of sales)、成本降低(the reduction of cost)或推出新产品(the launch of the new product);而奖励的内容经常是集体旅行(a company trip)、涨工资(an increase of salary)或发放奖金(bonus)。要点扩展应注意两点:其一,商务交流要求具体,比如利润的增长比去年同时段增加10%;其二,扩展内容应符合商务实际,如全体员工工资上浮50%、增加带薪假期(paid leave)、开派对(a party)或唱卡拉OK(Karaoke)等奖励都是不符合商务实际的。如果确实对商务实务不熟悉,可用简单的理由以避免出错,比如公司业绩增长的原因可以宽泛地写成是员工的努力工作和加班(hard work and long working hours)。

结构

因为文章内容很少,总词数只有50个词左右,写作时应写成一个整体,不应出现每句一段的散文诗文章,而且不要刻意使用first和second之类的过渡词语。

语言

Part One题目中的要点通常以三个现在分词形式给出,写作时通常是三句话,即针对每个现在分词写一句话,平均句长在15个词左右。备考时应针对题目中常见的分词动词准备相应的表达方式,尽量避免重复使用题目中的词句即可。比如,

解释原因:

连词:because, since, for, so;短语:because of, due to, owing to

表示感谢:

Thank you very much for...; I would like to thank you for...; I am very grateful for...; It was very kind of you to ...

奖励:

A rise in salary of X%; A bonus of X% of your monthly salary; A trip to Hawaii/Athens/Maldives

需要注意的是,商务英语要求正式文体,较之非正式文体,其有以下常见特点: 正式 非正式

Headquarters, September (不简写) H.Q. Sept. (缩写)

schedule, discuss (精确动词) set, talk about (宽泛动词或词组)

A copy has been sent. (被动语态) I sent you a copy. (主动语态)

形式

最后需要考虑的就是备忘录的形式。正式考试时,文字题目下方会模拟商务实际,附上备忘录开头片段,包括To, From, Date, Subject等细节,但是考生不必直接在片段后书写,应该在试题纸背面写作,写作时不要求必须有From, To等内容,但若能准确而符合商务习惯地写出备忘录细节,无疑会增加文章的印象分,这里简单介绍一下备忘录细节的注意事项。 To: 备忘录对象

如果具体到人,最好写出全名,不要写自己的真实姓名,有作弊嫌疑,尤其不能“重名”,如Bill Tom,Bill和Tom都是名(Given name),而不是姓(Family name),一个简单的处理方法就是use others?name,比如男名Bill Gates, Michael Scofield, Jay Chou或女名

From: 备忘录作者

要点同上,一般不用尊称,只有对方不知道自己身份的时候才后缀职位名称。

Date: 日期

BEC属于英联邦国家的考试,日期的写法一般为日、月、年,比如7 December 2002,注意月份用英文而不是数字,以免和日期混淆,可以缩写,比如将一月写作Jan(也可以用开放标点)。

Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston等;若显示关系亲密,还可以把名字缩写,比如B. Gates, M. Scofield, J. Chou, B. Spears, J. Aniston等;如果写给上级,还应该加上尊称甚至职位,比如Mr. Bill Gates — Managing Director, Mr. Jay Chou — Art Director等;现代商务写作中流行开放标点(Open Punctuation),即标点不影响理解的时候可以不用,所以Mr./Ms./Mrs.后面的省略点也可以省去,简单写成Mr/Ms/Mrs;最好不要省去名字。

第二篇:牛津英语3A About me教学反思


牛津英语3A About me教学反思

本课时中,让学生通过在情景中学习新单词:tail,thick,以及操练巩固句型My ___ is/are …中单复数以及is/are的用法。使学生能用适当的形容词对器官进行描述,并尝试用I can… I am ... I like eating …等已学句型描述不同器官的用途。

本课时为第二课时,学生已学会自我介绍,并尝试从性别、特征、外貌、爱好、能力等介绍自己。但由于is/are的用法是一个难点,所以在本课时中在Free talk, Chant, Introduction等环节中创造情景让学生巩固。根据班级实际情况,我对课本内容进行了文本再构。通过了解动物和人的特征区别和动物小故事的学习,在层层推进的教学过程中,关注了教学内容的基础性,复现句型I’m a ___. My ___ is/are …并让有能力的学生表达不同部位的用途,学会整合语言。并通过动物与动物自我介绍中,以及动物和人自我介绍中的比较,让学生了解每个人和动物都是与众不同的,使学生在学习过程中自信心逐步得以增强。并在作业中关注层次性,使每位学生都有兴趣并有一定的挑战性。 本课时中,is/are的用法是一个难点,所以在本课时中在Free talk, Chant, Introduction等环节中创造情景让学生巩固学习, is 和are的用法。并且把be动词编成儿歌让学生进行儿歌的朗读与表演,让学生对于is/ are 的用法了如指掌。根据班级实际情况,我让学生在了解动物和人的特征的区别和动物小故事基础上,反复复现句型I’m a ___. My ___ is/are …并让有能力的学生表达不同部位的用途,学会整合语言。并通过动物与动物自我介绍中,以及动物和人自我介绍中的比较,让学生了解了解每个人和动物都是与众不同的,使学生在学习过程中自信心逐步得以增强。并在作业中关注层次性,使每位学生都有兴趣并有一定的挑战性。从学生的作业反馈来看,学生对于My ---are ---的操练好像还是比较欠缺的,需要在下个教时中再做一些强调。

从本节课中,我觉得把一些难的知识点,编成儿歌让学生进行朗读和背诵是非常有必要的,这样一来可以把枯燥的知识点,化解成比较有趣的游戏活动,学生也比较乐意接受。但是班级中有部分同学,过分关注于儿歌的形式,而忘了学习儿歌是为了让学生更加清楚的知道本课的知识点,对于班级中出现的这部分同学,教师在课后一定要适当的加以指导。
