Would you like to talk about what you think is important when managing a company?[Candidate Two talks]One of the most important features in any business is communication. Good communication is required at all stages of the business process.Within individual companies internal communication occur at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another concerning the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees. Negotiation are conducted concerning pay and working conditions. Managers communicate decisions and orders and try to improve morale and motivation through good communication. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production and wages.Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.Interlocutor:—Thank you. Now, Candidate One, please ask Candidate Two your question about his/her talk.[Candidate One asks question.]Can you tell me other key elements which lead to efficient management of a company?Candidate Two: The efficient management of a company requires many aspects, both internal and external.

Would you like to talk about what you think is important when employing technical writers?[Candidate One talks]—Firstly, it is very important to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basics of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the ability to condense and organise complicated information to make it simple to understand. A good writer must also be able to cope with meeting tight deadlines. As far secondly as career prospects are concerned, after gaining valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of taking on management roles. They may then be responsible for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, who services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.Interlocutor:—Thank you. Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/her talk.[Candidate Two asks question.]Which factor is more important, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?Candidate One: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers being able to write well as well as meeting tight deadlines.Interlocutor:—Thank you[Materials are collected.]SECTION 3 DISCUSSION (ABOUT 5 MIN)In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic.

I'm now studying in Suzhou Unive rsity. And I'm majoring in international trade there. Interlocutor: Thank you. Mr Li. Now Mr. Wang, can you tell me about your ambitions?Wang: Yes.

You know, I like English very much, and m y major is business administration. So Ihave always found business English very interesting.Stage TwoThe importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the import ance of having a good CV. In themajority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chanc e to impress your potential employer, let's say. It is the essential illustration of your suitability for the jo b, showing how your skills and experience match your employ er's requirements.But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, pri oritize and present information effectively, essential skil ls in today's job market.

Why?Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified t asks. They do not have a definite idea of when they sh ould complete a certain task. And …Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of prior ities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: That's the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is manag ed effectively here in our company?Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt?Zhang: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. Right?Wang: Right. I think we've got a lot to do.

I'm now studying in Suzhou University. And I'm majoring in international trade there.Interlocutor:Thank you. Mr Li. Now Mr. Wang, can you tell me about your ambitions?Wang: Yes. I am now a student with Suzhou University majoring in business administration. I hope I can get my MBA and join aworld-famous multinational company. And after I have had enough experience, I am going to start a company of my own.Interlocutor:Thank you, Mr. Wang. And Mr. Li, could you tell me about your ambitions?Li: A big question for me indeed. I've never thought about it, but I bet I'll work towards a CEO of a big multinational corporation. That's my goal in life. And that's why I am spending so much time on English, business English in particular.Interlocutor:Mr. Li, you said you're spending a lot of time on business English. Do you think business English is difficult to learn?Li:Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage. The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.Interlocutor:How about you, Mr. Wang? Is it difficult for you?Wang:Not really. You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very interesting.Stage TwoThe importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a good CV. In themajority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chance to impress your potential employer, let's say. It is the essential illustration of yoursuitability for the job, showing how your skills and experience match your employer's requirements.But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, essential skills in today's job market. It also shows your linguistic and communicative abilities.Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application.Stage ThreeTime ManagementYour company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have beenasked to put forward some suggestions for improvingthe situation.Discuss, and decide together:------why poor time management can become a major problem in companies------what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.Zhang:Hi, Ms Wang, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days. Don't you think so?Wang:Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang:You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why?Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task. And …Zhang:And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang:That's the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang:So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company?Wang:You mean what procedures we can adopt?Zhang: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. Right?Wang:Right. I think we've got a lot to do.

If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.Zhang:Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member, come up with a job description of their own. In this way, they can be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they are not.Wang: Yes, that's a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way,we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.Zhang: Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a jobdescription of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.。

Li, could you tell me about your ambitions Li: A big question for me indeed. I've never thought about it, but I bet I'll work towards aCEO of a big multinational corporation. That's my goal in life.

You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very interesting.Stage TwoThe importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a good CV . In themajority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chance to impress your potential employer , let's say. It is the essential illustration of your suitability for the job, showing how your skills and experience match your employer's requirements.But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, essential skills in today's job market. It also shows your linguistic and communicative abilities.Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application.

Don't you think soWang: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of whe n they should complete a certa in task. And …Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certaintasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treatedon an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: That's the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our companyWang: You mean what procedures we can adoptZhang: Sure. That's what our boss is asking us to do. RightWang: Right. I think we've got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staffmembers realize how important effective time management is to ourcompany.Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in supervisory positions.Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them. If need,we may invite some experts from outside to help us.Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member ,come up with a job description of their own. In this way, theycan be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they arenot.Wang: Yes, that's a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our companyshould come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In thisway,we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.Zhang: Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.。
