They know when and how to apply pressure and to take risks, when they need to display a more hands-off approach. I have a pretty clear view o fmy ideal business leader, and of course that’s where I ‘m trying to head： he or she should start up and grow a cash-rich, multi-interest international organization of tremendous stren ngth and depth.B Sue TuckerThe pace of technological change, and the rate at which businesses are changing , requires leaders to have a particular aptitude for technology and an understanding of the internet. A lot of people are aware of the opportunities here ,but awareness alone isn’t enough： in a true leader this needs to be coupled with clever marketing, product design and technological innovation, and keeping abreast of everything going on in the company. In fact the acid test , I think , is being able to use all of these skills to turn around a failing company.C Carol GodfreyEffective leaders stand out from the herd. They’re often idiosyncratic, even eccentric.They have the confidence to be themselves, and not to adopt the language andattributes of the run-of-the-mill professional managers and accou n tants. What’s crucial is having the charisma or whatever it is that gives their staff confidence in them, so they can keep everyone on board when they want to make innovations. So often these don’t get off the ground because of lack of leadership, because after all, our response to change is significantly affected by how it’s introduced.D Brian MatthewsLeadership is about making things happen and beingjudged by results. Good ideas that go nowhere are a waste of time. Anticipate needs-those of customers for instance-and initiate action to meet those needs before the people concernedhave even recognized they’ve got them. That way you’ll always be ahead of the game, whateverline you’re in. For instance, top stockbrokers will learnall about you and your business and keep themselvescompletely up to date with your field in order to advise you. If they’re really good they ‘ll recognize trends even before you do .E Ana CostaOutstanding leaders understand both tactics and strategy, and are prepared to play a very long game to achieve their objectives. They understand that in negotiations they need the “ win-win” concept, because losers risk losing their dignity, which is no good for your long-term business relationship with them. Leaders must stay optimistic, whatever the odds, and keep up morale of their company, even when the going’s tough. It’s important to be very much。

2020年商务英语（BEC）初级口语试题及答案（卷五）The Importance of Good CommunicationsEffective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of the organization and ensures that everyone is working towards a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond well to goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.However, firms often have communication problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases,these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways of conveying information to others in the organization which include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on what exactly it is you are communicating. For example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employee's appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap between senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes, even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: systems can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all.The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communicationdoes not necessarily mean better communication."As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forwards. This can lead to a tremendous amount ofpaperwork and is often less effective than face-to-face communication. When you are actually talking to someone you can discuss things until you are happy that they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received what you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.The amount of written information generated in large organizations today can lead to communication overload. So much information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions. Take a look at the average manager's desk and you will see the problem -- it is often covered with letters, reports and memos. This overload can lead to inefficiencies. For example, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it. Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns. With more people working part-time and working at home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.In the first paragraph the writer recommends that communication with staff should includeA. some feedback on their job performance.B. an explanation of how company targets have been set.C. information on promotion prospects within the company.D. an indication of which duties they can expect assistance with.1.参考答案:A 系统解析:文中第一段：“Staff need to know how。

2020年商务英语（BEC）初级口语试题及答案（卷五）The Importance of Good CommunicationsEffective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of the organization and ensures that everyone is working towards a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond well to goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.However, firms often have communication problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases,these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways of conveying information to others in the organization which include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on what exactly it is you are communicating. For example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employee's appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap between senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes, even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: systems can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all.The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communicationdoes not necessarily mean better communication."As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forwards. This can lead to a tremendous amount ofpaperwork and is often less effective than face-to-face communication. When you are actually talking to someone you can discuss things until you are happy that they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received what you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.The amount of written information generated in large organizations today can lead to communication overload. So much information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions. Take a look at the average manager's desk and you will see the problem -- it is often covered with letters, reports and memos. This overload can lead to inefficiencies. For example, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it. Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns. With more people working part-time and working at home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.In the first paragraph the writer recommends that communication with staff should includeA. some feedback on their job performance.B. an explanation of how company targets have been set.C. information on promotion prospects within the company.D. an indication of which duties they can expect assistance with.1.参考答案:A 系统解析:文中第一段：“Staff need to know howthey are getting on，what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve.”意为：“员工需要知道他们进展得怎么样，做对了什么事，在哪些方面需要改进。

教学设计单元目标：语言技能目标：1、 能够在图片、实物或情景的帮助下运用句型I’d like some…Can I havesom e …?表达想吃的食物以及用Have som e …Here you are.为别人提供食物或请别人吃东西。

2、 能够在情境中运用Thank you./Thanks.表达感谢及用You ’re welcome 作答。

3、听到字母能说出其对应的发音。

语言知识目标： 1、 能听懂、会说句型：I ’m hungry. Have som e …I’d like some…Here you are.You’re welcome.2、 能听、说、认读单词：bread, juice ,egg ,milk, water ,cake,fish,rice.3、能正确听、说、读、写字母Oo ，Pp ，Qq ，Rr ，Ss ，Tt 并知道其在单词中的发音。

情感、策略、文化目标：1、能够比较中西方早餐的异同，了解中西方餐具和菜谱的不同。

2、能够建立单词音、形、一之间的联系，整体学习单词。

一、 教学内容分析：Unit5 let ’s eat 的学习主题是食物。

PartB let's talk 部分呈现了Wu Yifan, John 和 Chen Jie 出去野餐的情景。

学生在 A 部分已经学习了“Have some...”，Here you are.本课拓展为一般疑问句“Can I have some...?”。

这个结构难度不大，但由于学生初次接受食物，饮料方面的单词，因此，在学习时可能出现表达困难。

二、 学情分析：通过半个学期的学习，学生已经初步具备了一定的语言基础，语音语调方面有了进步，但语言模仿能力仍需加强。

在教学中注意连读现象，如：Can I have some water ，please? Thank you 等。

由于学生接触到的食物和饮料方面的单词有限，在交流、表达时可能出现表达困难，教师可结合PartB let ’s learn 部分进行教材整合，为学生提供一个词汇银行，以帮助学生解决交流的困难。
