[Death squads] Q: What are the language difficulties of BEC and GRE?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: GRE focuses more on Vocabulary and logical reasoning, while BEC focuses more on English application. I know some students have scored a full score on GRE, however, when I went to the United States to study abroad, I was not clear about the airport transfer, so I think BEC can better show a person's English ability.

[Anti-spam] Q: Is BEC more inclined to use business applications or official services?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: I think the BEC certificate is more inclined to be used in business applications. In terms of writing, many BEC writing tests are very similar to the reports we write in foreign enterprises, the part of the oral examination is similar to some of the negotiation and demonstration scenarios, while many of the materials for listening are from real company scenarios. Therefore, BEC is more inclined to be in the business field.

[Anti-spam] Q: What are the main aspects of BEC's oral skills?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: The oral English is divided into three parts: The first part is self-introduction. If you have taken an IELTS test, you will know that it is quite similar to the first part of the IELTS test. The main question is to ask your personal information, such as work, study, family, hometown, hobbies, and future plans. The second part is a small speech, which provides a one-minute talk on a business topic. The third part is a conversation with another candidate, which is also a deep conversation on a business topic for five minutes. Therefore, the scoring standard not only includes fluent English, the knowledge of business is also a test site.

[QQ] Q: How difficult is BEC3 compared with intermediate?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: The oral questions of BEC3 and BEC2 are very similar. However, the questions of BEC3 are generally difficult to use, and the questions are also in-depth. In the conversation section, BEC3 requires five minutes, while BEC2 only needs three minutes.

[User ym] Q: What should I pay attention to in the BEC oral and Listening Tests?

[Guest Yang yingshun] Answer: The difference between English pronunciation and American pronunciation should be noted before BEC listening. Because 80% is English pronunciation, Chinese students are familiar with American pronunciation, do more exercises to familiarize yourself with English pronunciation. Of course, to be familiar with English pronunciation, you must first master your pronunciation. Accurate pronunciation can help you understand what English and American people speak.

[User told] Q: Which of the following is the most suitable person for the exam?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: in my opinion, students in school are suitable for taking the BEC certificate. Students in School need the BEC certificate, which can be used as a stepping stone for entering a good company, if the incumbent has an BEC certificate, it will also be advantageous for career development. Especially for students studying science, there is a BEC3 certificate, which is more convincing when applying for a job, while it may be less useful for students who graduated from English.

[User jy] Q: Good evening. How can I prepare BEC3 words? Do you have any books?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: I usually want to read a lot of BUSINESS articles. I can read newspapers and magazines. Here I strongly recommend the BUSINESS SECTION of SHANGHAI DAILY, there are few specialized business words on the market, and one dictionary is Cambridge's business words. This can be used as a reference.

[QQ] Q: How difficult is BEC3's oral English compared with intermediate interpretation?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: I have also taught intermediate interpreters. I think the listening and speaking part of intermediate interpreters is relatively simple compared with BEC. Some of my colleagues have reported that the listening part of intermediate interpreters is no longer difficult than that of Level 6 interpreters, while the oral part only refers to the theme of daily life. Intermediate interpreters only have four chances to pass the written examination, but BEC must pass all four parts to obtain the certificate, therefore, BEC is more difficult than intermediate interpretation because it contains more business knowledge.

[QQ] Q: How can I prepare for listening and speaking in less than a month (BEC3 )?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: First of all, you must finish all the true questions and model questions. The BEC word of New Oriental needs to be listened to repeatedly for at least 10 times. If you can, select two or three questions for dictation exercises.

[User JY] Q: Does the "popularity" of BEC decrease under the impact of TOEIC?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: For now, the popularity and recognition of totech cannot be compared with that of BEC. Many companies still pay more attention to BEC3 certificates, because BEC3's listening and speaking part are quite difficult, it is a good measure of the tester's actual English level.

[User yaya] Q: CAN communication with foreign teachers help improve the English proficiency?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: communication with foreign teachers can certainly improve your English proficiency. when communicating with foreign teachers, Do not worry too much about your own syntax structure. More importantly, make it clear, the speed is not required. speaking too fast does not mean being fluent. You can communicate with foreign teachers at a normal speed.

[Xm] Q: Do I have to pass the BBC exams for civil servants?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: So far, Shanghai civil servants do not have to pass BEC, but as far as I know in Hong Kong, many civil servants must pass the BEC examination, as the steps for connecting Shanghai to the international market are accelerating, the BEC certificate may become a requirement in the future.

[QQ] Q: Well, I 've heard it many times, but some time ago it was mainly concentrated on November 3. Later, I felt good when I listened to BEC!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: the new concept book 3 is a very classical English learning book. If you listen to the new concept book 3, it will certainly help you understand the content of BEC. However, BEC focuses on business expressions. Therefore, you must familiarize yourself with business vocabulary and business scenario expressions through a large amount of reading.

[User jy] Q: "All the true questions and model questions have been completed." Where do you mean better simulation questions?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: The model questions issued by New Oriental are questions we bought from the Cambridge issue Committee. These questions have been used in previous tests, other model questions that match BEC are not currently available.

[Opinion] Q: What is the general usage rate of the BEC CamBridge Business English Certificate Examination on the market?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: As far as I know, if I have a BEC3 certificate, I still have a great advantage in applying for a foreign-funded enterprise. Of course, the certificate is only a qualification, it is not guaranteed that the company will be hired. However, if you study business English systematically and take the BEC test, you can definitely improve your business knowledge.

[User ym] Q: What do you need to pay special attention to when using the MATCH question for the hearing part?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: In the pairing question, note that it is not the matching of words and phrases, but also the appearance of signal words.

[User yaya] Q: If I am not a business student, do you think I can test the BEC horse? Is it necessary?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: not a professional business student can take the BEC test. Anyone can take the BEC test. If you are looking for a joint venture or a foreign company, it is necessary to test the BEC certificate, which can prove that you have a certain understanding of business scenarios.

[User jy] Q: Isn't it true that simulation questions are usually not true?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: the idea of simulating a question is indeed different from that of all real questions. Therefore, we should focus on all real questions in the review. Let's take the oral part as an example, the basic questions of BEC are relatively fixed and have a certain range. As long as you are familiar with the important questions in this range, you will not be overwhelmed in the oral examination. In our training in New Oriental, we mainly focus on true questions. Every student will receive a full set of true questions from BEC2 and bec3.

[User ym] Q: What scenarios frequently occur during the examination?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: there are still many common scenarios. The current trend is focusing on marketing, advertising, personnel, career development, customer service, customer reception, exhibition, and so on. When answering a verbal question, you should not only pay attention to the fluency and accuracy of the language, but also talk about the key points of business and make full use of the questions in order to obtain an ideal score.

[QQ] Q: Mr. Shen ang said he would do the real question for 30 times. It is not necessary. If the problem has been solved for about 20 times, it should be okay. I have listened to it for 700 times!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: I don't think it is necessary to do this thirty times, because you have been able to remember the answer after 20 times, so you have already done it too many times, and the effect is not satisfactory, it is better to repeat the article several times, familiarize yourself with the combination of business words, and focus on which aspects of the question will be of more help to you.

[Netizen tofu stem] Q: Are there many subjective factors in the BEC listening test? How can this problem be ruled out?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: the answer is yes. Many people told me that the questions during the exam are more difficult than what we usually do. I think that is because the time in the test room is too tight. How to eliminate such tension should be well relaxed the day before the test, and do not make any preparations, or listen to the words before the test, this will make you more nervous.

[User jy] Q: How to compare the difficulty of BEC-3 and advanced interpretation? Thank you!

[Guest Xu Jun] A: In my opinion, the difficulty of BEC3 and advanced interpretation is comparable. The difficulty of advanced interpretation is mainly reflected in the listening and interpretation sections, in particular, it is generally necessary to translate a paragraph at a time in interpreting, which is a great challenge for inexperienced students. Most students tell me that the most difficult part of the BEC test is the listening and speaking part, because these two parts involve a lot of business knowledge, it may be very unfamiliar to students who have stayed in school for a lifetime, therefore, "the difficulty of advanced interpretation is mainly reflected in the examination form, while the difficulty of BEC is mainly in the content ".

[QQ] Q: Are there any questions during the oral examination that will affect the score in case of inaccurate sound? Are there any serious consequences?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: Do not worry too much about inaccurate pronunciation, because the oral English score does not focus on the accuracy of pronunciation. More importantly, it is very clear. In addition, you have no right or wrong answers, as long as you have a good reason for your arguments.

[User jy] Q: I want to test BEC3 next month. May I ask the teacher, how do we prepare for the sprint?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: in the final stage, you do not have to memorize many new words. The key is to review the questions you have learned before, in particular, I think the questions in each examination are comparable for both oral and writing. Therefore, it is extremely beneficial to review old questions to grasp new questions.

[QQ] Q: I heard that the pass rate of BEC3 is very low, but A has fewer. Is there A limit on the pass rate?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: the pass rate of BEC3 is indeed not very high, especially for each part. It is extremely difficult, especially for the part of listening and speaking, but it is not because the exam subjects want to limit the pass rate, whether or not A has an objective score line. As long as the score line is reached, A can be obtained. Therefore, you only need to carefully review and hope to pass the examination.

[Netizen PPY] Q: Could you tell me BEC-2 only test C, through the hope of Level 3 is small? Thank you very much!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: If you have already passed BEC2 and only got a C, you must be fully prepared for your listening and speaking skills, BEC3 is much faster than BEC2, and has a large amount of information. If you do not have some preparation, it is difficult to pass BEC3.

[Mr. Bao, a netizen] Q: I am currently working in a foreign capital, department supervisor level. I am 34 years old. Is it suitable for BS and EC?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: Does BS and EC you refer to be Bec? If so, I think that as a department supervisor, it is very necessary for you to obtain a BEC certificate, which will be helpful for your future promotion or job-hopping.

[User ym] Q: What is the ratio of each part of BEC? Which part should I focus on in the last month?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: the ratio of each part of BEC is the same. I mean the ratio of score. In the last month, we will focus on familiarizing ourselves with the Question Types of each part, and then filtering out business words. I think the focus should be on listening and speaking, because these two parts are the weakest part of the students.

[Dfg] Q: What are the background of both Chinese and English?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: I have been studying in the United States for many years. After graduation, I have been engaged in consulting in the United States and Singapore. So I have a lot of business knowledge. After I return home, I am mainly engaged in education, I think the teachers who teach BEC not only speak English, but also have business experience to explain the problem thoroughly. Our business English team in New Oriental is still competent.

[Mm] Q: Hello! I want to know whether the BEC course in Shanghai New Oriental will introduce some foreign company cases and practical knowledge such as resumes in addition to the exam questions? Thank you!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: in class, I mainly explain the questions. Some cases of foreign companies are rarely involved due to time restrictions. In my class, I mentioned a few things I should pay attention to when writing my resume and told my students about the differences between CV and resume.

[QQ] Q: Do I have to pay attention to dress when speaking?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: the preparation for a score in the BEC oral English language is called the score, but it mainly refers to the language and temperament. It is not very well-dressed and does not need to be formal, general casual wear, of course, should not be casual to wear slippers to take the test.

[Net user Qing] Q: Excuse me, For the CET-6 and BEC-2, fully prepared a bec3 how long? (For example, if you are a student of grade 6, you will spend half a month in January )!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: The specific time varies from person to person. If you have already passed bec2, I suggest you spend more time preparing for listening and speaking, especially for listening. Bec3's hearing is indeed much harder than bec2's, and I'm talking a lot faster.

[User ym] Q: Should I make preparations for reviewing the major compositions for one or two types of questions?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: I think all types of questions in writing should be prepared. For example, writing a written report is often required, and the subjects of the report can be various, for example, if you select training courses, increase the department budget, and recommend excellent employees, you must refer to the good model documents to thoroughly understand all these questions.

[Netizen activity country] Q: What are the special requirements of BEC on "writing"? Please compare them with other subjects!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: In terms of writing, pay attention not to deviate from the topic, because in such a short article, you can only write the key points you want to write, once you leave the question, you will find that you have already exceeded its numerical limit, that is, what it asks you to answer, and do not enter the topic too much in the opening remarks. There is not much unnecessary content in business letters, so we don't need to talk about it. After all, it is very different from writing business letters in Chinese.

[QQ] Q: It doesn't matter if you are very student-oriented. I was planning to buy clothes. Thank you!

[Guest Xu Jun] A: It's okay, but you may not wear sportswear to take the exam. Of course, you do not have to wear a suit.

[Daughter of Shanghai, a netizen] Q: Is it true? Well, what kind of female do you consider?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: Do not be sorry for the audience.

[QQ] Q: I'm a girl. Of course I don't have to wear a suit, but I have really considered wearing sportswear!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: There is no dress code for the exam. You only need to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Wearing a loose dress can relieve your nervousness.

[Qing, a netizen] Q: I went to New Oriental, Guangzhou, where I published advanced business English (green skin) published by the Overseas Research Institute. How do you feel about this book?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: It is mainly a reference book to comprehensively review business knowledge. For example, in the oral part, the book mentions practical theme such as PRESENTATIOM, negotiation, and meeting, this book is not very compatible with the question type, but it is indirect help for us to test BEC.

[QQ] Q: Oh, everybody is so cute. Why are you asking such a private question? It seems that teachers in the east are confused about it!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: Teachers of Dongfang have devoted their time to students. There is very little time left, and the rest is too late, let alone talking about their girlfriends.

[User ym] Q: Does the verbal test have a certain degree of interconnectivity with writing? Can I learn from each other?

[Guest Xu Jun] A: I cannot learn from it, because the subject of the spoken language is generally more specific, and the writing mainly involves fixed models, various questions, reports, replies, and so on. In addition, some statements in the spoken language cannot be used in the written language, otherwise they will be too informal, and some statements in the composition will become very rigid if they are used in the spoken language, not natural.

[User jy] Q: Does the performance of my partner significantly affect my score (verbal? For example, the other party cannot connect!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: You have no idea who your partner is because some test sites cannot arrange partners in advance. The performance of your partner does not affect your score. It is important that you guide your partner to communicate with you when expressing your views, this is also very important. It is also a standard for the examiner to evaluate your oral expression.

[QQ] Q: I have read this book (Advanced Business English, Editor's note) a few months ago. Now I should summarize and review the real questions!

[Guest Xu Jun] A: Yes. This book is for your reference. This teaching material is authoritative. I have trained many foreign-invested enterprises in Business English, many times we use this teaching material. Of course, this teaching material is not used much in class. It is mainly used for reading and writing, because we only have six courses for each class, the total time for the twenty-four courses is still relatively short. Therefore, it is a model of intensive classes, so this teaching material will not be analyzed in class.

[User jy] Q: I heard that Shanghai New Oriental's teachers are looking for students as the other half ?! ^-^

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: This is definitely there. You don't want to be the other half of the New Oriental teacher. Are you in PROPOSING?

[QQ] Q: to jy, don't ask the teacher such a sensitive question. For privacy, we only need TO learn our English well!

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: You are so lovely.

[Guest Xu Jun] A: You are welcome my dear!

[Netizens expressed warmth] Q: Are you a banana? Are you familiar with Chinese traditional culture?

[Guest Yang yingshun] A: I grew up speaking Chinese and writing pen-writing. Although I am a banana, It is not white or yellow.

[Guest Yang yingshun] Concluding Remarks: Thank you very much for your enthusiastic questions. If you have not attended the BEC course in New Oriental, register now and hope to communicate with you in the classroom.

[Guest Xu Jun] Concluding Remarks: I am very glad to have this opportunity to exchange business English with you this evening. I hope to meet you again in the near future class!
