Business English courses are not just about simply improving English proficiency and ability.

Their living habits, etc., are included in the concept of culture to some extent. This major requires students to receive good training in English listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation, master the basic theories and basic knowledge of English language and literature, politics, economics, management, social culture, etc., and pass the national fourth-level English major Grade 1 and Grade 8 exams.

In fact, we should set our sights lower. In some highly professional jobs, our friends still have professional advantages. We are suitable for working as secretarial, translator, business personnel or administrative personnel in ministries and commissions of foreign trade and economic cooperation, trading companies, foreign-related institutions, foreign-invested enterprises, multinational corporations and financial and international trade units, foreign-related departments of governments at all levels, and various export-oriented enterprises. Or companies, banks, insurance, customs, border defense, institutions of higher learning and scientific research departments will also "call by name" graduates of business English majors.

3. Precautions for the BEC Intermediate English Speaking Test

1. The second part of the oral test also requires candidates to ask questions and answer corresponding questions about their partner’s answers. Follow up questions. So in the second part, while your partner is answering, you should pay attention to what the other person is saying. During the discussion session, be careful not to rush into talking, and when raising opinions on some topics, do not talk too fully, leaving some room for your partner to answer and add. The stronger of the two can put forward more specific points and summarize more, while the weaker one can make more supplements and overwork, and use some fixed phrases that have been memorized during exam preparation.

2. The first two parts of the oral test mainly provide candidates with the opportunity to demonstrate their independent expression ability, and through the first two parts, the examiner has roughly judged the candidate's language level. The third part mainly tests actual communication skills. Therefore, no matter how much you talk and there is no substantive communication with your partner, you will not be able to get high scores. After all, the third part reflects not only communication skills but also teamwork skills. Although it is not directly used as a scoring criterion, it will greatly affect the examiner's overall impression of you.

3. The most important principle is to maintain the fluency of communication, which applies to every part of the BEC oral exam. Especially in the discussion session, fluent and fluent expression will gain a better overall impression and cover up minor flaws in grammar and wording. In addition, the stipulated time for the discussion session is 3 minutes, but in most cases, the examiner will stop the discussion within 3 minutes. The examiner will control the time according to the situation. Therefore, you would rather be interrupted by the examiner than stop when you think the time is up.

4. How to practice spoken English well

The first step: preparation stage

Mainly involves imitation, recitation, and repetition exercises. The goal is to train correct speech. intonation. Improve fluency and develop a sense of English. At the same time, through various means, such as reading. Do exercises, listen to English tapes, watch English videos and movies, etc. to expand your vocabulary. Master the customary expressions in English, expand your knowledge and train your logical thinking ability in English. Before preparing for conversation, you must be proficient in commonly used words (groups), phrases, etc. "Proficiency" is the prerequisite for conversation. Only proficiency can lead to conversation. Only when you are fluent. The standard of proficiency is to blurt out the words without thinking.

Second step: Practice stage

Mainly carry out a large number of oral dialogue exercises, dialogues and discussions with others. If you have a good foundation, you can practice interpreting, tell English stories by yourself, and do some with friends Questions and answers or guessing games in English, etc. In short, it is necessary to extend the time to speak as much as possible.

(1) Imitation

Imitation is the basis of all language learning. When children learn to speak, they also imitate the accent and habits of adults. When imitating, be careful to speak loudly. Speak it, but you don’t have to speak fast. You can slowly pronounce all the sounds correctly. The advantage of speaking loudly is that it can fully activate the oral muscles and make the expression more vivid, which is in line with the oral expression habits of foreigners. Changing the inherent muscle movement pattern that we have always formed in Chinese pronunciation and gradually adapting to the muscle movement pattern of English pronunciation is the real imitation.

When imitating, you should also have the awareness to correct mistakes frequently. Such imitation exercises will not be boring and boring, but will be meaningful and purposeful imitation. If you are watching a video to imitate the protagonist's speech, you must also Pay close attention to the meaning expressed by their expressions and body language.

Although speaking can be improved through imitation, it does not happen overnight. Correct pronunciation and intonation cannot be achieved by imitation in a short period of time. For people who are used to speaking Chinese , it is not an easy thing to imitate the speaking habits of native English speakers. This reminds me of when I was taking the Mandarin test. For a Hunanese, it is necessary to distinguish between front nasal, back nasal, retroflex and flat tongue. It is a very difficult thing. When I was learning from the teacher, it was down to where to put my tongue in the mouth to make the correct sound. After a few days, my oral muscles were extremely sore. So when imitating, even if your mouth is dry and your oral muscles are sore, don’t give up easily. After all, Rome was not built in a day. Persistence is victory!

When imitating the dialogue in the video or the pronunciation of the recording device When doing imitation, you can try to read along, or do it simultaneously. This will help practice the reaction speed of the oral muscles and fully coordinate the oral muscles and the brain. One thing you must pay attention to when imitating is not to be shy and unconfident. Some people are It's fine when I practice speaking alone, but I get so nervous that I can't speak when I communicate or have a conversation with others. This is mainly due to my inferiority complex, especially in front of people whose English speaking skills are better than myself, especially in front of foreigners. , often lose the ability to express because they dare not speak. If you want to learn spoken English well, this is an obstacle that must be overcome!

　(2) Retelling

If you want to improve your spoken English level , it is inseparable from memory exercises, memorizing words, vocabulary, fixed sentence patterns, and commonly used expressions. However, memory exercises do not simply require everyone to memorize by rote. This is the most rigid learning method. If you want to learn spoken English well, you must also pay attention to one thing. Flexibility and repetition are a very good method for self-training in speaking skills, and can even help us remember words, vocabulary and fixed sentence patterns.

Retelling generally takes two forms. One is to retell the content of the article in your own words after reading it; the other is to retell it after listening to the tape. The second one is obviously to It is more difficult and higher than the first one, because this training method not only helps to improve our speaking ability, but also greatly helps to improve our listening level. At the same time, the method of listening to tapes can also help us concentrate and exercise our memory ability!

When retelling, we should also pay attention to step by step. If you can’t retell after reading or listening to it once, you can try reading more Listen more. When you are new to this learning method, you can choose articles that are smaller in length, have fewer unfamiliar words, and have strong storytelling, which are easier to retell in spoken English!
