How many times can I take the business English translation certificate in the university?

There are many foreign language certificates that universities can obtain, as follows:

1. Cambridge Business English Certificate

(Cambridge Business English Certificate, BEC for short)

Published by: Examination Committee of Cambridge University, UK.

Registration fee: BEC junior 350 yuan, BEC intermediate 440 yuan and BEC senior 560 yuan (subject to local standards at that time).

This exam is an ESP exam, which is widely recognized in many countries in Europe and America. It is called a "passport" for studying abroad and entering foreign companies. The Cambridge Business English Certificate (BEC) comprehensively examines candidates' ability to use English in the general working environment of economic and trade activities from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students majoring in economy and trade take more exams.

Wang, a student of Foreign Languages Department of South China University of Technology, is preparing for the May 6th meeting. She told reporters that she felt that the exam questions were quite new and a little scary, but it would be much better to practice more. Accumulate more background information, otherwise there will be nothing to say when there is a topic. The original words heard in listening are usually replaced by other synonyms, which increases the difficulty of the exam. Few candidates have read all the previous exams, so there is no time to do it and there is no need to be too flustered.

Tips Listening is difficult. Be sure to listen more. The composition can recite some formats, and the chart composition should recite cliches. Do more reading matching questions. Oral English should be practiced in pairs.

2. Qualification Certificate of Shanghai Intermediate and Senior Interpreter

Issuing unit: Shanghai Foreign Language Interpreter Qualification Examination Committee.

Registration fee: Intermediate written translation: around 200 yuan; Intermediate interpretation: around 200 yuan; Advanced written translation: around 200 yuan; Advanced level interpretation: 365,438+00 yuan (Nanjing) /230 yuan (Shanghai), with slight differences from place to place, for reference only.

Shanghai intermediate and advanced interpretation is divided into two stages, namely written examination and oral examination. Candidates can only take the second stage exam if they pass the written test. According to the staff of Jinling Language Learning School, the passing rate of each written test in Nanjing is between 20% and 30%. According to the figures published on the Internet, the pass rate of intermediate interpretation is 25%, while the pass rate of advanced interpretation is only 6% to 10%. The pass rate of Shanghai intermediate and advanced interpretation test is low, but the gold content is high. It is one of the English certificates with amazing recognition in the market at present. The reporter interviewed Zhang, a 2004 international trade major at Nanjing University of Science and Technology. According to her introduction, the most popular certificate in the class at present is the Shanghai Intermediate Interpreter. Nearly 1/4 people applied for the exam. An enemy student who passed the Gaokou written test in March this year told reporters. When I went to get the admission ticket, I met an aunt and asked, is the real question done in the morning or at night? I was ashamed for a moment. Actually, I haven't done several sets of real questions. On the day of the exam, I was really surprised to see a sea of people. It was discovered that the number of applicants in Nanjing Gaokou has reached nearly 2,000, and that in Kou Zhong it is about 4,000. Eating by car is too crowded. I obviously felt that there was not enough time during the exam, and I finished the paper in a panic. I don't think I can pass. Later, I passed with a very dangerous score. When I am secretly happy, I deeply feel that I can take any certificate, do anything, plan ahead and be prepared. In the interview, the reporter also found that many students did not fail to pass the certificate of non-intermediate and advanced interpretation. Wangtong, from the Foreign Languages Department of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, said that although Qualcomm's passing rate is so low and its gold content is high, there is no need to crush one's head for this certificate. Now she has begun to examine the witness.

Tips Reading comprehension will take up a little translation time. Twenty minutes or a little less translation time is enough, and it won't have much influence on your final result. However, if the objective problems such as reading are not done well, it may be a great loss. Candidates should thoroughly understand the listening materials before the exam and try to adapt to the speed of listening.

3. IELTS, TOEFL, GRE

TOEFL is an English proficiency test provided by educational testing service for students from non-English-speaking countries to apply for universities or graduate schools in the United States and other English-speaking countries. GRE scores are the trump card for most China students to apply for scholarships. IELTS is suitable for people who go to Commonwealth countries to develop. Countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand regard IELTS as the only criterion for evaluating the English level of immigrants, and different institutions in these countries also regard IELTS scores as the criterion for recruiting overseas students.

Tips When preparing for the exam, you must work hard on your weaknesses. And in the review, we should have a certain plan and complete our goals in stages. It's best to find a partner to practice oral English and urge each other. In addition, be confident when taking the oral exam, and pay attention to appearance and posture when facing the examiner.

All kinds of English certificates mentioned above are well-known among college students and have high gold content. Other English certificates, such as national translation certificates, are not introduced in detail because their recognition in the Yangtze River Delta region is not as good as that of Shanghai interpreters. People who want to go to Beijing and other cities for development can consider textual research. Jiangsu advanced interpretation certificate has a short history and low social recognition.

Cost Comments: Except for CET-4 and CET-6, the registration fee for each certificate is very expensive. It does not include hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, teaching materials fees, transportation fees and other expenses. However, most interviewees said that although it was expensive, it was money well spent in order to gain chips in employment.

4. International Communication English Test

(International Communication English Test, abbreviated as TOEIC)

Issued by: Education Examination Service Center (ETS)

Registration fee: 374 yuan for students and 608 yuan for non-students.

Toe test is an English communication ability certification designed and developed by ETS in 1979 for international professional working environment. At present, more than 2.5 million people take the TOEIC test every year in more than 60 countries around the world, and more than 4,000 international companies or institutions recognize and use the TOEIC test results. Toe test entered China at the end of 2002. It is a professional English test, which is mainly used to evaluate the English level of a certain industry or post. Toe is widely used in the business field, so the TOEIC test is called "business TOEFL" in overseas customs. International companies value toeic scores, so this exam is very useful if you want to enter a foreign company. More than 750 points is more convincing.

Chen, a student of South Institute of Technology, told reporters that when reading the real topic of TOEIC, I felt good and didn't think it was too difficult. It was discovered in the actual exam that the seemingly simple topic actually hides the mystery.

5. The National Certificate Examination for Foreign Language Translation (NAETI) is a social-oriented non-academic certificate examination jointly organized by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education and Beijing Foreign Studies University. It mainly tests candidates' foreign language translation and interpretation abilities and provides authoritative certification for candidates' translation qualifications.

The national foreign language translation certificate is currently available in English and Japanese. Japanese includes three levels, and English includes four levels. English, Japanese Level 1, 2 and 3 include translation and interpretation certificates respectively, and those who pass the examination can obtain corresponding translation or interpretation certificates. CET-4 consists of translation and interpretation. Those who pass the two parts can obtain the CET-4 translation certificate, which was first put into use in June 2008.
