BEC考試口語聽力指導

1、BEC考試口語聽力指導LISTENING Part 1 (Questions 1-12)第一部分大多情況下是電話對話。答題紙上分為3個部分，以表格、發(fā)票、日程安排、留言條等形式出現(xiàn)，每部分有4個空格，要求考生聽錄音填空（聽兩遍）?？忌玫皆嚲砗髴ゾo時間將題目看一遍，根據(jù)文字信息，揣測填充題中可能要填什么詞。一般來說，這部分要填的內(nèi)容是：公司名稱、人名、號碼（電話號碼、定單號碼等）、日期等，這一題主要是考考生的辨別詞匯的能力。在聽第一遍時，考生要盡可能的記下有關(guān)的名稱、地點、號碼等內(nèi)容，聽第二遍時檢查所填內(nèi)容，填上漏掉的內(nèi)容。該部分的電話對話內(nèi)容一般是：客戶抱怨、道歉、詢價、訂座、訂貨、安排、

2、計劃等。Part 2 (Questions 13-22)該部分分為兩個部分，一般為兩段獨白?？忌仨氉ゾo時間弄懂供選擇的單詞的意思。這些單詞一般是有關(guān)職業(yè)、身份的，如：hotel manager, salesman, technician, travel agent, engineer, cook, tourist guide, money changer等；另外，這部分單詞也可以表示功能、行為等，如：refusing, agreeing, making excuses, boring work, an uncomfortable office, low pay, to order a mea

3、l, to book a room 等，所以，考生在聽錄音前，先快速閱讀供選擇的單詞的意思，然后，在聽錄音時要特別抓住key words，辯明獨白所要表白的主要意思，再作出選擇。需要當心的是：有些單詞聽上去似乎是答案，但別忙著確定，一定要等聽完該段獨白的全部錄音才能最后定答案。Part 3 (Questions 23-30)該部分通常是兩個人或更多人之間的對話，如：開會討論、面試、一般業(yè)務(wù)會談等；另外也可能不是對話，而是獨白，如：業(yè)務(wù)報告、產(chǎn)品演示會的講話，工作匯報等?？忌鲞@一題時首先仍然是先快速閱讀選擇題，從而了解錄音中對話或獨白的背景、大意，以便聽錄音時有一個大致的方向?？忌犱浺魰r要認

4、真將主要內(nèi)容抓住，決不能因為某一個問題沒聽懂就停下來，聽錄音的過程中可以針對每一個問題做些快速記錄，記下錄音中人的身份、討論的問題，以及不同的觀點；如果是獨白，對獨白的主題，涉及到的人或物等則要盡可能弄清楚。 SPEAKINGBEC 2 口語考試總時間約為14分鐘（一組兩個考生）。Part 1這部分是主考官與考生的對話，考官問的問題一般有：姓名、職業(yè)、所學專業(yè)，對所從事的工作或所學專業(yè)是否喜歡，為什么喜歡或不喜歡等等。另外，考官會就某一方面問考生，如有關(guān)就業(yè)就可能問：What would your ideal job be?

5、o provide training opportunities for staff? Is the opportunity to work abroad important to you? 等等。當主考官在與一考生對話時，另一考生必須仔細聽，因為主考官問了考生甲Do you think all companies ought to provide training opportunities for staff? 后，可能會問考生乙What do you think of it？如果考生乙沒有仔細聽，就要對考官說Sorry或Please pardon 這樣會影響口試效果?？谠嚨谝徊糠挚荚嚂r間

6、約為4分鐘。Part 2這一部分要求考生就某一主題進行闡述?？忌托畔⒖ㄉ系膯栴}回答。如：What is important when ?Opening a branch in a new city* The location* The potential purchasing power闡述完了之后，考官司就所闡述的內(nèi)容提問。只要考生能對信息卡的內(nèi)容有所了解，一般可以較好地回答問題。Part 3這部分要求考生就某一題目進行討論，主考官會適時介入談話。兩個考生在討論都應該積極參與，不能將問題交給對方去闡述，討論是雙向的。如：Business SeminarYour company is goi

7、ng to hold a seminar on a certain topic about marketing.
