bec中級很難嗎
隨著越來越多的同學(xué)意識到證書的重要性后,同學(xué)們已經(jīng)不再滿足于在大學(xué)時只是通過英語四六級考試,還開始關(guān)注大學(xué)水平的其他考證類科目,BEC中級考試難度就相當(dāng)于大學(xué)水平,所以受到了越來越多同學(xué)的關(guān)注。在決定是否要考取BEC證書的時候,同學(xué)們最多的疑問還是關(guān)于BEC中級難度如何的問題。下面小編就給大家分享一下bec中級很難嗎。
bec中級很難嗎
BEC中級難度略高于大學(xué)英語四級考試水平。BEC中級考試更加注重實踐,而詞匯部分主要是圍繞商業(yè)和生活做為考試重點。對于通過大學(xué)英語六級的同學(xué)來說BEC中級的閱讀、寫作、語法并不會太難,關(guān)鍵要加強(qiáng)口語的復(fù)習(xí)。
但是BEC中級考試難度和英語六級沒有必然的聯(lián)系,因為考試的內(nèi)容和方法不一樣,一般的情況下建議英語六級考到470分到英語四級考到560左右的同學(xué),可以報考BEC中級。BEC畢竟是英語考試,如果英語基礎(chǔ)好,考BEC肯定有優(yōu)勢,但缺乏商務(wù)知識和詞匯以及專項的技能訓(xùn)練也很難考好。
總結(jié)一下BEC中級考試難度在于詞匯量要達(dá)到六級水平,對商務(wù)知識有全面的了解,才能夠順利通過BEC中級考試。
BEC中級考試經(jīng)驗:沒想象中那么難
本人四級581,六級513,雖然BEC中級沒有拿到B,只拿到C,但是還是有點經(jīng)驗和教訓(xùn)供和我水平相當(dāng)?shù)暮髞碚叩巍?/p>
復(fù)習(xí)時間:四月一號到考前一天,基本每天3-4小時
復(fù)習(xí)資料:學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)書,真題。
復(fù)習(xí)程序:
一,筆試部分之閱讀
由于四月才開始復(fù)習(xí),加上有別的事情,感覺來不及把書過一遍然后再做真題,于是就只看了對課本有詳細(xì)解釋的學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)書,和真題的閱讀。
1,學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)書——單詞,短語,固定搭配:總體來說商務(wù)英語的單詞基礎(chǔ)是四級,它和公共英語的不同在于同一個詞,在商務(wù)英語里面有不一樣的意思。這個時候商務(wù)英語的單詞背誦的目的就很明顯了,就是暫時糾正一下語義,以應(yīng)對考試。而擴(kuò)大商務(wù)英語中常用短語,搭配的知識量也是很必要的。因此我做了一下工作。
首先每天一早,我將學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)書里每章每兩節(jié)出現(xiàn)單詞,固定搭配,短語的地方先瀏覽一遍(注意:輔導(dǎo)書中會有題目的解析,而這些解析就包括一些常用短語,固定搭配),把自己認(rèn)為閱讀會出現(xiàn)的單詞挑出來抄在小學(xué)語文課本大的本子上。
何為認(rèn)為會出現(xiàn)的單詞?我做了這樣的總結(jié)——基本是日常常用的常見的商務(wù)英語,即專業(yè)性質(zhì)不是太強(qiáng)的商務(wù)英語。因為日常,所以這樣的單詞最容易出現(xiàn),而且只是中級考試——一個通過率不低的考試,所以門檻自然不高。切記不要把中級想象得太專業(yè)太難!實際它就是介于四級和六級之間的難度!
然后,我就開始背,一天1.5頁紙,3版的單詞,短語,固定搭配,背上個2-3次的速度。等到開始看真題的時候,把真題里所有常見的自己不能熟練掌握的也記在本子上。然后背,一直背到考試。
這樣的流程1個小時-1.5小時就能結(jié)束。
2,真題:由于真題量稀少而且珍貴,于是我就分開做,把閱讀五部分分成兩部分來做,一個星期做第一第二第五部分,下個星期做第三和第四部分。這樣交叉來做,既能在短時間提高對某種題的題感,又能縮短每天的復(fù)習(xí)時間,還能使一份真題分兩天做,就不至于一次16篇一下半個月就做完了。做完后對每篇閱讀都進(jìn)行了細(xì)讀,和研究,發(fā)現(xiàn)為什么錯。應(yīng)該怎么想。前后有沒有相關(guān)提示,這種題有沒有一套解法等等的思考。
這樣的流程每天2-2.5小時,總共反復(fù)滾騰了三遍。一直到考試前剛好能結(jié)束。
二,筆試部分之作文,
作文我是提前半個月到一個月的時間才開始復(fù)習(xí)的,下載了一些新東方老師的資料,但發(fā)現(xiàn)用處不大,于是就研究真題的答案,把基本框架背背,多寫寫,多改改,就差不多了。當(dāng)時基本一天大作文一天小作文這樣的程序一直到考試。其實不需要寫得跟真題那樣那么規(guī)范,只要通順,要點都答上了,沒有過多錯誤,愛怎么寫就怎么寫,和英語四六級差不太多。
三,聽力
聽力完全用真題。也是把真題分成兩部分用,今天聽section1第一篇,section2第一篇,以及section3.明天聽剩下的。這樣不間斷地聽到考試前一天。聽力一定要反復(fù)聽,不停的聽。才能有感覺。
注意!我強(qiáng)烈要求大家不要太過輕信網(wǎng)上說的要加速!而且加個多少多少。我就是被坑了!其實就比正常語速略快一些些而已!沒有網(wǎng)上說的那么嚴(yán)重!聽力沒有想象的那么難!!!就是四六級之間的速度!!!你可以加速,但不能加太快了!!!我到了考試前為了聽力可愁人了!以為像大家說的很難,蠻快!于是就跟聽力對上了!結(jié)果考試時才后悔,這嚴(yán)重影響我考試情緒!!!加大我心理壓力啊。嗚嗚嗚嗚。。。
四,口語
也就五月才開始練習(xí)的口語,搭檔經(jīng)常有事,于是我就自己練習(xí)。陳小慰的太難了,不建議用!你背的什么的,到了考場什么都不會記得的!因為時間比較短,真的就能顯示你的本來的口語水平!我都是看真題,結(jié)果考試時候就和真題的差不多。
最好的練習(xí)口語的方法我認(rèn)為就是寫作,拿到題目看著表用一分鐘時間,去思考一二三點。然后立馬就開始寫作文,每點寫短句最多不超過三句話,長句不超過兩句的長度就完全可以了!!!(到考場時候,你很可能連第三點都沒說出來。但不要緊!考官看的是你的音準(zhǔn),基本造句能力,和表現(xiàn)而已,沒想象的那么恐怖!)一定要快,逼著自己快想!這個練習(xí)就是加快你的腦子轉(zhuǎn)速,營造高壓環(huán)境,使得上場時不會腦子忽然空白!
五,其他
再強(qiáng)調(diào)一遍,不是很難!只有四六級之間的難度!同學(xué)們啊,我就是被第四輯真題集和第三輯最后一篇真題騙了啊!哪有那么難!難得連句子都不能一次看懂!!實際上考試的時候只有第二輯第三四篇和第三輯一二篇的難度,最多也不超過第三輯第三篇的難度啊。!聽力也是!按第三輯的聽力聽,完全沒問題!不要盲目聽信網(wǎng)上說的而去加速啊!不過也有可能我這一次考試是這樣而已。不過大家想想啊,BEC中級,每年那么多人通過。商務(wù)英語,如果它真的考得很專業(yè)的話,大學(xué)生的我們,沒有任何經(jīng)驗的我們,能通過嗎!?肯定不怎么可能的。所以,它就像會計從業(yè)資格證那樣,都是最低級的入門證件而已!含金量可想而知了。所以大家完全不需要放太多的精力在上面,我看,只要提前一個半月突擊一下就行,根本不用太費神費腦的!同學(xué)們啊我當(dāng)初還對每部分題做了規(guī)律性總結(jié)啊?,F(xiàn)在看來真的很多余!所以,放平常心態(tài),就是一考試,一簡單考試,萬能的考試大國的國民,能搞不定!?不可能!

'Businessman of the Year' Award
A James King: Chief Executive of Fentons Finance
King was nominated for the quality of his leadership, with the judges claiming that the Fentons Finance boss is almost revered by his team. He is credited with reinventing Fentons Finance - revitalising its culture of inflexibility, removing outdated pre-merger barriers and playing a brilliant tactical game. He led everyone to believe he was opposed to large mergers and then jumped on the Westcombe Bank opportunity at just the right moment. History will be the judge, but for now the markets consider King to be a star.
B Keith Nash: Chief Executive of Hamley's Supermarkets
Nash took over as CEO when Hamley's systems and distribution were out of date and the brand badly needed freshening up. He began refocusing the brand at the higher quality end of the food market and launched several own-brand initiatives for the health conscious. As a result, the share price has gone up nearly 80 per cent. This should be extremely satisfying for Nash, who had left the retailer in 1986, disappointed after failing to secure the top job.
C Jorge Marquez: Chairman of the Kenwick Group
Marquez was a popular choice for his achievements at Kenwick. The judges say he has been courageous in pushing through the appointment of controversial or inexperienced chief executives to companies within the group, and then sponsoring them as they transformed their businesses. He operates as a 'virtual' chairman, without a permanent office in any one company. He phones his CEOs regularly, and several of them have acknowledged the vital contribution he makes to their effectiveness. Everyone is impressed at how he also finds the time to be chairman of two other large companies.
D Richard Jenkins: Finance Director of Centron Advertising
Labouring in the shadow of a high-profile boss can sometimes draw attention away from the finance director, and the judges considered it was high time Jenkins got that attention. The CEO may be the public face of Centron, but Jenkins is the one who makes it run smoothly. Behind the scenes, he is constantly demonstrating that budgets and forecasts are what is needed to make a company successful, particularly now that the advertising market has been hit by recession. It is largely thanks to him that Centron is in much better shape than its rivals.
《‘Businessman of the Year' Award》年度企業(yè)家獎。分別介紹了這個獎項的四個候選人的英雄事跡。
第一題,這個企業(yè)家成功的定位了不同的消費群體。答案在B段:He began refocusing the brand at the higher quality end of the food market and launched several own-brand initiatives for the health conscious。他開始將品牌定位在高質(zhì)量的食品市場并且發(fā)起了幾項注重健康的自主品牌的運(yùn)動。Health conscious是指注重健康的。一個是高質(zhì)量的食品市場,一個是注重健康的,聯(lián)合起來,就是瞄準(zhǔn)了不同的消費市場,即不同的消費群體。
第二題,通過小心的前進(jìn)計劃,這個企業(yè)家?guī)椭径冗^了一個困難時期。答案是D段的這么一句:budgets and forecasts are what is needed to make a company successful, particularly now that the advertising market has been hit by recession.。預(yù)算和預(yù)告正是使得公司可以成功的,尤其當(dāng)現(xiàn)在整個廣告市場被衰退襲擊的時候。Budgets and forecast就是題干中說的careful forward planning,successful對應(yīng)于survive,a different period對應(yīng)于the market has been hit by recession。
第三題,因為這個企業(yè)家的思維方式,公司對待變化更加開明了。答案是A段的這么一句:He is credited with reinventing Fentons Finance - revitalising its culture of inflexibility。他以重塑了Fentons Finance而受到嘉獎——給了固定守舊的文化以新的生命。more open to change就可以對應(yīng)于revitalising its culture of inflexibility。revitalising是give new life to的意思。
第四題,盡管有反對意見,這個企業(yè)家還是制定并執(zhí)行了某些決定。答案是C段的這么一句:he has been courageous in pushing through the appointment of controversial or inexperienced chief executives to companies within the group在推動某些爭議性的或者是經(jīng)驗不足的執(zhí)行官的任命時他很有勇氣。從controversial和courageous可以看出來,這些任命時不完全被接受的,有反對意見(opposition),但他還是堅持了。
第五題,這個企業(yè)家通過讓人們誤會自己的意圖而取得某些成功。答案是A段的這么一句:He led everyone to believe he was opposed to large mergers and then jumped on the Westcombe Bank opportunity at just the right moment他讓所有人相信他是反對大的并購的,然后在最佳時期跳上Westcombe銀行的機(jī)會(即收購了這個銀行)。let everyone believe,也就是misleading people about his intentions。
第六題,這個企業(yè)家的能力最初在雇傭他的公司里受到了懷疑。答案是B段最后一句,稍微隱晦點:This should be extremely satisfying for Nash, who had left the retailer in 1986, disappointed after failing to secure the top job.因為無法得到高層的職位而失望離開,結(jié)果因為他的決策,公司股價上升了,讓他很滿足。意思就是本來以這個人的能力是可以勝任高層的工作的,但是他卻沒有得到。
第七題,這個企業(yè)家因為處理一些商業(yè)利益的能力而受到仰慕。答案在C段。C段最后說這個人在不同的公司擔(dān)任要職(be chairman),不同的公司會有商業(yè)利益的沖突,而他卻能好好處理(manage),所以答案選C。
