Each of them requires full consideration. Firstly, work experience should be considered. Usually, an applicant with longer experience is more suitable for the opening. But, an experienced applicant also has his or her disadvantage: he or she has less potential com pared with a young and energetic one who has much more potential.

Would you like to talk about what you think is important when maintaining customer interests?[Candidate Two talks]As is known to all, it is important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers. First, it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands.

The cost of transporting some products can exceed the cost of producing them. An efficient form of transportation can result in higher costs and lower profits for the firm.

Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/her talk.[Candidate Two asks question.]In terms of timing, cost and a viability, which do you thin the most important is?Candidate One: Well.

Please speak so that we can hear you.[Candidates have about 3 minutes to complete the task.]A: In international trade, buyers and sellers usually live far from each other and this creates a problem. It is impossible for the buyers to examine the quality of the imported goods. Thus there needs to be some means for the sellers to inform the buyers of the quality. In international trade, four means are generally used to express the quality of products. They are sales by sample, sales by specification, grade or standard, sales by trade mark or brand, and sales by description.B: Yes, a sample is a small quantity of the products which represents the whole. Through the sample, buyers are able to know the quality of the products.A: Ok, sales by specification, grade or standard are another way to show the quality of the products, namely through certain recognized specification, grades or standards.B: Sales by trademark or brand are normally useful to the products that have already obtained export markets whose brands or trade marks are already widely known.A: The last method is sales by description. Sales by description are usually applied to some whole set of mechanical and electrical products such as instruments or equipment. For these products there must be detailed descriptions provided for the buyers so that the buyers are able to know the structure, function, usage of the products, and so the products can be used accordingly.B: In export trade, sales contract plays an important part. A quality clause is always a major part in the contract, which the exporters should also pay great attention to, when working it out, so as to make it really workable.[Materials are collected.][The interlocutor asks one or more questions as appropriate , to extend the discussion.]Of the above four sales method, which one is most popular” ?B: Well, it depends.

First of all, most of the employees are willing to enrich their professional knowledge and experiences for a better position. They will be highly motivated if they can learn something useful and necessary for their future work and thus increase their self-value in the work market. In addition, most of the people will certainly be happy to see that their work or contribution to their companies is regarded on a fair basis. In this sense, a higher salary and bonus are the direct and preferable awards for most employees. But it should also be noted that they must be given according to the employees’ performances.

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 a world-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'smy 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.

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 TV is still the single most important part of any application.2023年BEC中级模拟口试试题3Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the 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. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company.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, 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.

BEC中级模拟口试试题Stage One Time ManagementYour company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the 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. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company.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 e某perts 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 job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.Stage IIThe importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a good CV.In the majority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chance to impress your potentialemployer, let's say. It is the essential illustration of your suitability for the job, showing how your skills and e某perience 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 TV is still the single most important part of any application.Stage IIIInterlocutor Good morning.

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 e某actly, 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.
