题目解读
bec中级写作考试总时长为45分钟,根据词数要求和分值,通常小作文写作不超过15分钟。
应试创作可分成以下三步:1.审题构思read  plan (3 mins);2.写作write (10 mins);
3.检查check (2 mins)。
part one的题目背景通常是一事、两人、三要点。本题中,最近公司利润增长,“你”作为公司的董事总经理(managing director)将对全体员工(all staff)进行奖励,备忘录的内容需包括三个要点:感谢员工的贡献,解释利润增长原因,并告之奖励内容。正文词数要求为40~50个词,因为商务英语要求简洁,词数要求有上限,这和四、六级以及考研写作只规定词数下限有所区别,但实际考试时允许少量超标,比如接近60词。
内容、结构、语言和形式
内容
首先可根据各要点的逻辑关系调整写作顺序,比如在本题中,先解释利润增长的原因,再感谢员工,最后宣布奖励。其次应针对要点简要展开论述,比如利润增长的原因可能是销售量增加(the increase of sales)、成本降低(the reduction of cost)或推出新产品(the launch of the new product);而奖励的内容经常是集体旅行(a company trip)、涨工资(an increas
e of salary)或发放奖金(bonus)。要点扩展应注意两点:其一,商务交流要求具体,比如利润的增长比去年同时段增加10%;其二,扩展内容应符合商务实际,如全体员工工资上浮50%、增加带薪假期(paid leave)、开派对(a party)或唱卡拉ok(karaoke)等奖励都是不符合商务实际的。如果确实对商务实务不熟悉,可用简单的理由以避免出错,比如公司业绩增长的原因可以宽泛地写成是员工的努力工作和加班(hard work and long working hours)。
结构
因为文章内容很少,总词数只有50个词左右,写作时应写成一个整体,不应出现每句一段的散文诗文章,而且不要刻意使用first和second之类的过渡词语。
part one题目中的要点通常以三个现在分词形式给出,写作时通常是三句话,即针对每个现在分词写一句话,平均句长在15个词左右。备考时应针对题目中常见的分词动词准备相应的表达方式,尽量避免重复使用题目中的词句即可。比如,
解释原因:
连词:because, since, for, so;短语:because of, due to, owing to
表示感谢:
thank you very ; i would like to thank ; i am very ; it was very kind of you to ...
奖励:
a rise in salary of x%; a bonus of x% of your monthly salary; a trip to hawaii/athens/maldives
需要注意的是,商务英语要求正式文体,较之非正式文体,其有以下常见特点:正式 非正式
headquarters, september (不简写) h.q. sept. (缩写)
schedule, discuss (精确动词) set, talk about (宽泛动词或词组)
a copy has been sent. (被动语态) i sent you a copy. (主动语态)
形式
录的形式。正式考试时,文字题目下方会模拟商务实际,附上备忘录开头片段,包括to, from, date, subject等细节,但是考生不必直接在片段后书写,应该在试题纸背面写作,写作时不要求必须有from, to等内容,但若能准确而符合商务习惯地写出备忘录细节,无疑会增加文章的印象分,这里简单介绍一下备忘录细节的注意事项。to: 备忘录对象
如果具体到人,最好写出全名,不要写自己的真实姓名,有作弊嫌疑,尤其不能“重名”,如bill tom,bill和tom都是名(given name),而不是姓(family name),一个简单的处理方法就是use others?name,比如男名bill gates, michael scofield, jay chou或女名
from: 备忘录作者
要点同上,一般不用尊称,只有对方不知道自己身份的时候才后缀职位名称。
date: 日期
bec属于英联邦国家的考试,日期的写法一般为日、月、年,比如7 december 2002,注意月份用英文而不是数字,以免和日期混淆,可以缩写,比如将一月写作jan(也可以用开放标点)。
britney spears, jennifer aniston等;若显示关系亲密,还可以把名字缩写,比如b. gates, m. scofield, j. chou, b. spears, j. aniston等;如果写给上级,还应该加上尊称甚至职位,比如mr. bill gates — managing director, mr. jay chou — art director等;现代商务写作中流行开放标点(open punctuation),即标点不影响理解的时候可以不用,所以mr./ms./mrs.后面的省略点也可以省去,简单写成mr/ms/mrs;最好不要省去名字。
