写作部分BEC HIGHER写作部分主耍涉及商业信函和图表写作两部分的内容,现具体介绍如下:商业信函第一章格式问题1.格式问题:请同学们在BEC的写作中采用平头式的写法。
收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的左上方地址、称呼和结朿礼词后没有标点符号H期在右上方段落从定格开始,段落之间的行距为两行(但在考试中山于受答题卡限制,请同学们酌情考虑)写信人的名字和头衔在签名下方2.称呼和结束礼词的注意事项:称呼的写法遵循下列原则:称呼打结束礼词存在对应的关系,请同学们特別注意:以下均为错误用法:Dear Mr JohnDear Mr John Smith3.日期:在英国英语中,天在前,但是在美国英语中,月份在前。
所以某些特別的吋期容易引起误解。
例如:12 06 2003在英国指的是:6月21日在美国指的是:12刀6日因此日期要写成:12 June 2003注释:在bee考试屮同学们可以釆用恩波所推荐的用法。
但是12 06 2003的用法仍然是可以使用的,因为bee为英版考试。
在使用恩波推荐的用法时,要记住月份使用大些字母开头。
天后不必写th、rd、nd或者st。
第二章写法问题预备参加bee考试的同学们由于缺乏商务写作的实际经验,对于写作部分都比较郁闷。
恩波结合历年考试实际,为大家准备了15类共计50个经典的实战句型,供大家在考场上使用。
我们对每一个句型都模拟了-•种环境:You want to know the prices of some air conditioners.We are interested in your air conditioner and we would like to know the prices ofsome air conditioners.You saw an advertisement in the newspaper yesterday and you want further infonuation. We are writing in connection with the advertisement in the newspaper yesterday. You want to know if the company you are writing to organizes holidays to Africa. We are writing to inquire about the holidays to Africa that your company organizes.2.回信的开头:环境:A compa ny wrote to you on 23 July. They wan ted to know if you sell photocopiers.Thank you for your letter of 23 July, asking if we sell photocopiers.A man wrote to you on 18 December. He wan ted employme nt with your compa ny.

英语考试作文
BEC商务英语写作指导:写作格式规范
【BEC作文是否要写标题】
这里所说的BEC作文是否要写标题,有两层理解。
一,BEC 写作答题卡上是否需要填涂题号;二,BEC写作正文前,是否需要写标题。
就第一个问题,BEC写作答题卡上是否需要填涂题号,这个BEC中级写作和BEC高级写作是不同的。
BEC中级写作的小作文和大作文都是指定的,因此没有选题的必要,也就不需要填涂题号。
但是,BEC高级写作的大作文是在letter、report和proposal中三选一,因此需要在写作答题卡上填涂题号。
第二个问题,BEC写作正文前,是否需要写标题,这个根据写作的文体不同而决定。
一般来说,letter是不需要写标题的,按照商务信件的格式写就可以了。
report建议写一下标题,比如Report on staff turnover,然后按照report的三段式(introduction、findings和conclusion)来完成写作。
proposal和report类似,report相对比较简单,建议以准备report为主。
【BEC写作齐头式vs缩进式】
通行的商务写作格式,一般采用齐头式,因此在BEC写作中,也建议采用齐头式,看起来格式美观、逻辑清晰。
齐头式的写作格式要求:
段落齐头:在齐头式中,文件或书信中的每个部分都从左边界起头
不同的段落之间要空行:不同的部分(段与段之间),以空行的方式隔开
缩进式比齐头式稍微复杂一些。
缩进式是比较老式的商务书信格式,所以很多人都熟悉这种格式。
在缩进式里,每个段落的首行要缩进,一般最少要缩进六格,要缩。
BEC HIGHER写作部分主要涉及商业信函和图表写作两部分的内容,现具体介绍如下: 商业信函 第一章 格式问题 1. 格式问题: 请同学们在BEC的写作中采用平头式的写法。 收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的左上方 地址、称呼和结束礼词后没有标点符号 日期在右上方 段落从定格开始,段落之间的行距为两行(但在考试中由于受答题卡限制,请同学们酌情考虑) 写信人的名字和头衔在签名下方 2. 称呼和结束礼词的注意事项: 称呼的写法遵循下列原则: Dear Sir or Madam 写信给某一公司,不确定具体的收信人 Dear Sir 对男士,但是你不知道他的具体姓名 Dear Madam 对女士,但是你不知道他的具体姓名 Dear Mr Smith 对男士 Dear Ms Smith 对已婚或未婚的女士 Dear Mrs Smith 对已婚女士 Dear Miss Smith 对未婚女士 Dear John (此处John 为英语中常用男名) 对朋友或你比较熟悉的人(通常为多年生意伙伴) 称呼与结束礼词存在对应的关系,请同学们特别注意: Dear Sir or Madam Yours faithfully Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss Smith Yours sincerely Dear John Best wishes
以下均为错误用法: Dear Mr John Dear Mr John Smith
3. 日期: 在英国英语中,天在前,但是在美国英语中,月份在前。所以某些特别的时期容易引起误解。例如:12 06 2003 在英国指的是:6月21日
在美国指的是:12月6日 因此日期要写成:12 June 2003 注释:在bec考试中同学们可以采用恩波所推荐的用法。但是12 06 2003 的用法仍然是可以使用的,因为bec为英版考试。 在使用恩波推荐的用法时,要记住月份使用大些字母开头。天后不必写th、rd、nd或者 st。
1. 信件的开头: We are writing to enquire about... We are writing in connection with... We are interested in ... and we would like to know...

You saw an advertisement in the newspaper yesterday and you want further information. We are writing in connection with the advertisement in the newspaper yesterday. You want to know if the company you are writing to organizes holidays to Africa. We are writing to inquire about the holidays to Africa that your company organizes. 2. 回信的开头: Thank you for your letter of (date) We have received your letter of (date) asking if ... enquiring about ... enclosing ... concerning ...
环境: A company wrote to you on 23 July. They wanted to know if you sell photocopiers. Thank you for your letter of 23 July, asking if we sell photocopiers. A man wrote to you on 18 December. He wanted employment with your company. He also sent his curriculum vitae. We have received your letter of 18 December, enclosing your curriculum vitae. A company sent you a fax on 3 June. They wanted to know if you were going to the marketing conference in London. Thank you for your fax of 3 June, asking if I was going to the marketing conference in London.

4. 引入主题: With reference to ... Further to ... With regard to ... I am writing in connection with ... 注:引入主题的句子可以被写在信件的开头,但with regard to 不能用于信件的开头。环境:(how would you start a letter about each of the following?) an invoice (No. 679) for a photocopier With reference to Invoice No. 679, we regret to tell you that the product arrived in bad condition. a meeting you had with the addressee on Jan. 16th Further to the meeting on 16 January, I am delighted to tell you that we are now able to give you a special offer for our Peach Series computer. an advertisement in the times newspaper I am writing in connection with the advertisement in the times newspaper yesterday. an application for a post as secretary in your company I am writing in connection with your application for a post as secretary in our company. a fax order for six computers that you received today with reference to your fax order for six computer, I regret to tell you that they are out of stock at present. 5. 告知好、坏消息:好消息: I am pleased delighted happy to tell inform advise you that ...
