|
1.How many marks is the Speaking test worth? BEC高级口语部分分值多少？ It is worth 25% of the total marks for the Cambridge English: Business Higherexamination.占考试总分的25%。 2.How much do I need to know about business to be successful in the Speaking test? 在BEC高级口语中要想取得好成绩，我要对商务知识了解多少？ Cambridge English: Business Certificates test English language in a business context. They are not focused on any specific industry sector, e.g. banking or computing, but you are expected to be familiar with a broad spectrum of business situations and the vocabulary appropriate to them.你需要对商务场景有广泛了解，并且熟悉各情景词汇。 3.What if I don’t know anything about any of the topics for the 1-minute presentation? 在1-minute presentation里如果我对该话题毫无了解，该怎么办？ The topics used are accessible without specialist knowledge.There are three topics for you to choose from. The first topic is always the most general and is suitable for those with minimal or even no experience of work. The second topic is more suited to work contexts, and the third is more appropriate to those with experience of specific work situations. You are marked on your language and not on your knowledge of the topic or the originality of your ideas. 话题不会涉及特别专业的知识。有三个话题供选：第一个通常是比较泛的，适合只有较少工作经验，甚至没参加过工作的人。第二个话题是工作场景，第三个话题是有特定工作经验的。评分是依据你如何使用语言，而不是你对话题的了解度或你自身的想法。 4.For Part 3, is it best for us to decide on a specific company to use as a context and to discuss the situation around that? 在Part 3里，谈一个具体公司的话题然后围绕那个讨论是最好的吗？ If both of you come from the same company, then clearly you already share a certain knowledge which you can use as a basis for your discussion. If, however, you don’t know each other, it is not a good idea to spend time trying to decide on a specific context. Added to this is the fact that keeping an open context extends the potential for ideas and suggestions in your conversation. This is a discussion task and not a role play.如果你们是一个公司的，已经了解某些共同信息，以此作为基础讨论那当然不错。但是如果你们彼此不认识，最好还是一起花时间先决定一个具体话题。 5.What happens if we are ‘mismatched’, e.g. a shy person with a more dominant one?如果和语伴两个是“混搭”，一个腼腆型，一个控制型的咋办？ Examiners are trained to handle such situations and to ensure that both of you are given equal opportunities, which you should then use to show what you know. The questions after the Part 3 task enable the interlocutor to ensure both of you have equal opportunities.考官就是来做这个协调事情的，以确保你们拥有同等的说话机会，你只需要展现你自己就行。 6.What should I do if I don’t understand a question? 如果我没听懂问题改怎么办？ Ask! Good communication involves requesting clarification where necessary, in an appropriate manner. 7.Is it an advantage to know your partner in the Speaking test? BEC高级口试时如果认识语伴，会不会比较有优势？ Not really. You should be encouraged to change partners in class so that you grow accustomed to interacting with a variety of people, some of whom you don’t know well. 8.Are we compared to each other when we’re marked? No. You are marked on the basis of your individual performance. 9.Does the test always have a 2:2 format? No. If there is an uneven number of candidates left at the end of a session, a group of three is allowed. 10.Is it necessary to pass all parts of the exam to pass overall? No. The Cambridge English: Business Higher Speaking test represents 25% of the total marks available. Your overall grade is based on the total score gained in all papers. It is not necessary to achieve a satisfactory level in each paper in order to pass the examination. 相关资料 |
