There are quite a few very time sensitive matters with this case. I'm afraid I can't wait any longer.F: Getting those Anderson briefs has been harder than you can imagine. I have tried to contact their lawyer many times. But every time I call, H is secretary says he’s in a meeting or out of the office or away on business. I am beginning to think he is trying to avoid me.M: That's highly possible. He knows if we miss our fi ling deadline, we don’t stand a chance to compete against them for the bid. Try to get a hold of him again. Give him a call and see if he can fax them first thing.F: What if I can't speak to him directly?M:Ask his secretary to fax them. It’s the same thing. Have them faxed over with a copy also faxed to Martin’s office.F:How do I find Martin’s fax number? Is he in your roller desk?M: No, but you can also call their office and ask the secretary to give you their fax number. I’ll email you t heir office number later today.F: Ok, I'll get on it first thing.M: Be sure you do, I need those briefs ASAPDialogue twoM:Did you put this morning's faxes on my desk? I’m waiting for some urgent faxes from headquarters, I'm pretty sure they came in last night.F: Everything that came in the office fax machine last night is all on your desk, but I noticed that some of faxes came through pretty blurred, maybe you take a look at them, if the copy is unreadable, I'll call then and ask them to refax.M: Yeah, you're going to have to call them and get them to be refax. These copies are so dark. I can't make out any of the words.F: What about that one?M: This one? This one is so light and I can barely read it. How can that be?F: You know, I think the fax machine is out of toner. I can change the toner cartridge. That should solve the problem.M: Yes, but this one will have to be refaxed as well. And look, there's about 3 pages missing. It looks like the fax machine ate half of my important faxes, and ones that made it through are so blurred or too light. They are unreadable.F: I guess the fax machine is out of paper too. Don't worry, I'll have someone look at it this afternoon, and in the meantime, I'll have your documents refaxed to our other fax machine.2\Telephone Calls电话Dialogue 1A: Hello, thank you for calling Bradford and Sons.

Could you make an order for a new set?B:We will need new cartridges for all of the office printers? That will be a large order, probably about two or three cases. The office supply store we usually go through might not have that many in stock.A: You can double check with the housekeeping department, but I am pretty sure all of the machines will need new cartridges. Last time when we made our order to the supplier, the quantity was also especially high. They are used to receiving such bulk orders from us . As long as we give them a heads up a couple days in advance, they can usually fill the order.B: OK, I will make a few calls and run our order by housekeeping first to make sure. Is there anything else we need to order while I am at it?A: I think the only thing is toner. Try to see if they can deliver it before the end of business day tomorrow.

Your order should be delivered before the end of the day on Monday.B: Thank you.7 Co-WorkersDialogue 1A: I'm really fed up with Harry! He's the biggest airhead I've ever met. He always makes careless mistakes, and he's a pain to work with.B:You shouldn't be so negative. You'll always have some co-workers that are harder to work with than others. But if you are negative and start name-calling in the office, it will make a bad working environment for everybody.A: You only say that because you don't have to work with him. The people in your department seem to capable and nice to be around. Take Mary for example. She's smart and enthusiastic. I've never anyone as cheery as she is.B: Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. Even Larry. He might be a pain to be around, but he's also very good at staying in budget on projects. Mary, on the other hand, spends our project money like there's no tomorrow. Also, she's never willing to stay a little later at the office. She always leave at 5: 00 pm sharp.A: Isn't there anyone in the office that is a perfect co-worker? What about Bob? Everybody loves Bob. Even though he's fresh out the college and still a bit green, he is a great co-worker.B: You are right. He's a hard worker, easy to get along with, honest, and he never steals the credit on projects. The only thing he's lacking in is experience.A: Maybe that's why he's so nice!Dialogue 2A: Do you get along with your co-workers?B: I get along pretty well with most of them. It seems there are always a few rotten apples in the bunch, though. Like Margaret. I don't know why management hasn't fired her yet. She's a terrible gossip.A: Do you think management should fire someone just because they gossip?B: It's not only that she gossip, but she also tries to start problems among other employees by spreading rumors and telling lies about her co-workers. She's not trustworthy, and in my opinion, I think she's nuts.A: So how do you develop good relationships in the office?B: I think one of the important things is just to be considerate of your co-workers' feelings and needs. If you are aware of other people and do your part to make a good working environment, you should be able to get along with most of the people you work with.A: I think you're right. But it does seem that there are always a few co-workers that are harder to work with than others.8 BossesDialogue 1A: How are things at the office lately?B:Just awful. Two weeks ago, we got a new boss, and I can't stand him. He is really unreasonable about our workload. Since he came, I've been so busy that I haven't had time to breathe!A: That bad, huh? What about his personality? It's a nice guy at least?B: I should be so lucky. He not only give us too much work, but he is also just plain mean about it. He constantly yells at us or criticizes us. He is always degrading the employees. A: What a terrible working environment! Have you tried to talk anyone about it? Maybe the boss of your boss?B: I was going to, but my boss guessed what I was thinking. He gave me so much work to do this afternoon that I didn't get around to meeting with the supervisor of our department.A: It must be terrible. Why don't you just quit?B:If it wasn't for the money, I would quit in a heartbeat. But the problem is, I can't support myself if I don't work.A: Yeah. But a boss likes that? To deal with him everyday, you should get a raise!Dialogue 2A: Do you get along with your boss?B: Actually I do. She is really understanding and reasonable most of the time. There was only one time I didn't really agree with her.A: When was that?B: Once she fired one of my co-workers for drinking on the job. I felt bad for him, because it is so hard to find a job these days, and he has a family to support.A: Well, he shouldn’t have been drinking on duty. It's your boss' responsibility to make sure employees are safe, and also doing their jobs.B: You are right. She was being a good boss when she fired him, But I just felt sorry for him, that's all.A: Did this incident with your co-worker affect your relationship with your boss?B: Not really. All of us at the office respect our boss a lot.A: You are lucky you can get along so well with your boss. It makes a big difference in how much you enjoy your job.B: No kidding. If you don't like your boss or co-workers, they can make your life miserable.9 BrainstormingDialogue 1A: Have you thought up any good ideas for our business proposal?B: I haven't come up with anything good yet. Somehow my brain isn't functioning today.A: Maybe you should take a break, you've been sitting at your computer for three hours trying to put something together. No wonder your mind isn't very sharp now.B: I came up with a few different thoughts on the proposal, but now I've completely run out of ideas.A: Maybe we can shelve the proposal for a while while you brainstorm.B: We could do that, but I hate to put everything on hold.A: You're right, it's no good to have things up in the air for too long.Dialogue 2A: We've got to come up with a way to solve this problem! No one is getting all their work done during the work day. We need to do some brainstorming to come up with a time-management solution for our office.B: Well, what do you suggest? It's not that we are all wasting a lot of time. Fact is, we're understaffed. People just have too much to do.A: So you think we should hire some new people? That is one possible solution. What else could be the problem?B: Maybe we do have some problems with time-management. If people were always on time to work, they might get more done in the morning before lunch.A: That's true. Also, maybe we could shorten the lunch break from one hour to forty five minutes. That would add a little time to everyone's day.B: Fifteen minutes would be good, but I wonder if it would make a big impact on the employees'output. I still think it's a problem with too much workload.A: We ended up right where we started. Maybe it is time to look for some temp workers to help with a few projects. That would lighten everyone's load.10 CommutingDialogue 1A: Where's Bill? The ambassador [ æm'bæsədə ] is already here. The meeting is set to start at 9 am.B:He's late again. Traffic is probably holding him up. You know, he commutes from the suburbs. It's not easy commuting every day. We should cut him some slack.A: Even though the traffic is bumper-to-bumper out there, I don't think it's heavy traffic that makes Bill late. He takes the train, remember?B:Oh, that's right. Well, the train shouldn't be late. That means there is only one explanation. . . . Bill must have overslept.A: Well, to be fare, since he's coming all the way from Lancaster, he's got to get up much earlier than the rest of us. He must get start on his commute about 6: 30, no telling what time he actually gets up.B: That's right, because he's got to get to the train station from his house, then take the blue line into the city, then switch trains to the red line. In all, the trip's got to take more than 2 hours.A: Why doesn't he just drive to work?B:It's too difficult to park your car in the city. Also, the traffic coming in from the suburbs is a nightmare.Dialogue 2A: I can't wait until my car is repaired. The commuting with public transportation is killing me.B: It can't be that bad.A: But it is! Take this morning for example. The subway was so packed this morning; I got totally squished by about a hundred busy commuters on the way to work.B: At least the subway is better than the bus. It's faster for one thing. And usually less crowded. But the drawback is that the subway is more expensive than the bus. It adds up over time, if you take it every day.A: That's true. The bus is even worse. Just thinking about taking the bus every day makes me tired! Hey, how do you get to work every day?B: I ride my bike. I don't live too far away, so it's pretty convenient. it's only about a ten minute bike ride from my house to the office.A: I'll bet it's good exercise, too. . . a good way to keep fit.。

商务英语口语范文Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to talk about business English oral practice. In this course, we will learn how to communicate effectively in different business situations.Firstly, let's start with a typical scenario in a business negotiation. Imagine that you are negotiating with a potential client about a new business deal. Here is a sample conversation:You: Good morning Mr. Smith, thank you for coming. It's great to have this opportunity to negotiate with you.Mr. Smith: Good morning, Ms. Chen. The pleasure is mutual.You: Let's start with the negotiation. We have reviewed your proposal and we appreciate your competitive price. However, we are hesitant about the payment terms. We would like to discuss it further.Mr. Smith: Sure, I understand your concerns. Could you please clarify what you mean by "payment terms"?You: We prefer a shorter payment period, say 30 days, instead of the current 60 days. Is it possible for you to adjust your payment terms accordingly?Mr. Smith: I see. Let me consult with my colleagues and see if we can work out a solution that satisfies both of us.You: Thank you, Mr. Smith. Time is of the essence, so I hope we can reach an agreement soon.Mr. Smith: Absolutely, Ms. Chen. We value this business opportunity and we will do our best to find a win-win solution.Secondly, let's move on to another common situation in business communication – making a presentation. Suppose that you are going to give a presentation to your co-workers about a new product launch. Here is a sample speech:Hello everyone, I am excited to introduce our new product line –the X series. As you can see from the brochure, the X series features advanced technology and sleek design, which will appeal to a wide range of customers.We believe that the X series has the potential to become a game-changer in the market, and we are committed to making it a success. To achieve that goal, we have developed a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes both online and offline channels.Our online campaign will leverage social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, to create buzz online and engage with our target audience. We will also launch a series of promotions and giveaways to incentivize customers to purchase the X series.In addition, we will partner with leading retailers and distributors to showcase the X series in their stores and offer special discounts and bundles. Our sales team will also participate in trade shows and industry events to demonstrate the features and benefits of the X series to potential customers.We are confident that our strategy will generate substantial sales and revenue for our company, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions on how to further improve it. Thank you for your attention, and let's make the X series a success together.In conclusion, mastering business English oral practice requires not only language skills, but also situational awareness, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication. By practicing and honing these skills, we can enhance our effectiveness and professionalism in the global business world. Thank you for your attention, and let's get started.。
2023年BEC商务英语高级口语考试话题汇总不论是报考BEC（商务英语）初级还是中高级别的学生们，平时的堆积是通过考试的一种（办法）。
下面我给考生们提供一篇有关BEC 高级口语考试话题的内容仅供参考。
bec口语话题11.Different Communication Styles不同的交流风格The way people communicate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of communication style is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of yes varies from maybe, Ill consider it to definitely so, with many shades in between.Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation amongfriends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.bec口语话题22.Different Attitudes Toward Conflict对待矛盾的态度不同Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact,face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict.bec口语话题33.Different Approaches to Completing Tasks采用不同办法去完成任务From culture to culture, there are different ways that people move toward completing tasks. Some reasons include different access to resources, different judgments of the rewards associated with task completion, different notions oftime, and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together.When it comes to working together effectively on a task, cultures differ with respect to the importance placed on establishing relationships early on in the collaboration. A case in point, Asian and Hispanic cultures tend to attach more value to developing relationships at the beginning of a shared project and more emphasis on task completion toward the end as compared with Americans. Americans tend to focus immediately on the task at hand, and let relationships develop as they work on the task. This does not mean that people from any one of these cultural backgrounds are more or less committed to accomplishing the task, or value relationships more or less; it means they may pursue them differently.bec口语话题44.Different Decision-Making Styles不同的做决定的风格The roles individuals play in decision-making vary widely from culture to culture. For example, in the U.S., decisions are frequently delegated -- that is, an official assigns responsibility for a particular matter to a subordinate. In many Southern European and Latin American countries, there is a strong value placed on holding decision-making responsibilities oneself. When decisions are made by groups of people, majority rule is a common approach in the U.S.; in Asia consensus is the preferred mode. Be aware that individualsexpectations about their own roles in shaping a decision may be influenced by their cultural frame of reference.bec口语话题55.Different Attitudes Toward Disclosure对待披露/曝光的态度不同In some cultures, it is not appropriate to be frank about emotions, about the reasons behind a conflict or a misunderstanding, or about personal information. Keep this in mind when you are in a dialogue or when you are working with others. When you are dealing with a conflict, be mindful that people may differ in what they feel comfortable revealing. Questions that may seem natural to you -- What was the conflict about? What was your role in the conflict? What was the sequence of events? -- may seem intrusive to others. The variation among cultures in attitudes toward disclosure is also something to consider before you conclude that you have an accurate reading of the views, experiences, and goals of the people with whom you are working.BEC商务英语高级口语考试话题汇总文档内容至此告一段落，衷心感谢您对本文的阅读与理解。
商务英语对话十分钟Effective communication is the cornerstone of successful business interactions. In the fast-paced corporate world, the ability to engage in concise and meaningful dialogues can make all the difference in achieving desired outcomes. Business English, as a specialized form of the language, plays a crucial role in facilitating these exchanges. This essay explores the importance of mastering business English dialogue and provides practical strategies for honing this essential skill.Firstly, it is essential to understand the unique characteristics of business English dialogues. Unlike casual conversations, business discussions often require a more formal and professional tone. The language used should be clear, concise, and free from ambiguity. Participants must be able to articulate their ideas, negotiate terms, and reach mutually beneficial agreements with precision and confidence.One of the key aspects of effective business English dialogue is the ability to adapt to different communication styles and culturalnuances. In a globalized business environment, professionals often engage with colleagues, clients, and partners from diverse backgrounds. Understanding and respecting these cultural differences can significantly enhance the quality of the dialogue and foster stronger relationships.For instance, in some cultures, a more indirect communication style is preferred, where the speaker may hint at their intentions rather than stating them directly. In contrast, other cultures value a more direct approach. Recognizing these differences and adjusting one's communication style accordingly can greatly improve the flow and effectiveness of the dialogue.Another crucial component of business English dialogue is the mastery of specialized vocabulary and terminology. Business professionals must be familiar with industry-specific jargon, financial terms, and legal concepts to ensure that the dialogue is meaningful and relevant to the context. Regularly reviewing and expanding one's business English vocabulary can significantly enhance one's ability to engage in productive discussions.Furthermore, the structure and organization of the dialogue play a vital role in its success. Effective business English dialogues often follow a specific format, including opening the conversation, presenting the agenda, discussing key points, and reaching aconclusion. Adhering to this structure can help ensure that the dialogue remains focused, efficient, and productive.Active listening is another essential skill in business English dialogue. Participants must be able to fully comprehend the information being presented, ask relevant questions, and provide thoughtful responses. This not only demonstrates engagement but also helps to build trust and foster collaborative problem-solving.In addition to the linguistic aspects of business English dialogue, nonverbal communication also plays a significant role. Body language, eye contact, and tone of voice can convey important subtext and influence the overall dynamic of the conversation. Developing an awareness of these nonverbal cues and using them effectively can further enhance the quality of the dialogue.Lastly, the ability to handle challenging situations and negotiate effectively is crucial in business English dialogues. Professionals must be prepared to address conflicts, disagreements, and unexpected obstacles with composure and diplomacy. Developing strategies for active listening, empathy, and win-win negotiation can help navigate these challenging situations and achieve favorable outcomes.In conclusion, mastering business English dialogue is a critical skill for professionals operating in the global business landscape. Byunderstanding the unique characteristics of this form of communication, adapting to cultural differences, and honing specialized vocabulary and organizational skills, individuals can greatly enhance their ability to engage in effective and productive dialogues. Furthermore, the development of active listening, nonverbal communication, and negotiation skills can further strengthen one's business English dialogue capabilities. Ultimately, the mastery of this essential skill can lead to improved professional relationships, increased productivity, and greater overall success in the business world.。

I don't know how we can make a profit with those numbers.N: Well, if we promise future business - volume sales - that will slash your costs for making the Washing-machine, right?D: Yes, but it's hard to see how you can place such large orders.

We couldn't handle much larger shipments.S: Fine. But I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1000 units, the next 2000. The 31st is quite soon - I can't guarantee 1500.T: I can agree to that. Well, if there's nothing else, I think we've settled everything.S: Tom Brown, this deal promises big returns for both sides.
