Conducting a market analysis: ● Targeted customers/clients ● Comparison with major competitors ●… C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? Aiming to improve customer service: ● Finding out customer needs ● Dealing with complaints efficiently ●…正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When selecting staff for overseas training, their work performance must be taken into consideration. Selecting staff members with outstanding work performance for overseas training will set a good example for other staff members, which may encourage them to improve their work performance.
Moreover, it is also very important to consider their command of the language of the target country when selecting staff for overseas training. Staff members with a good command of the language of the target country will be able to understand instructions given by the overseas trainer well enough, participate in all training activities without language barrier, and communicate with the trainer or other trainees freely.
If you choose B:
When conducting a market analysis, it is very necessary to analyze the targeted customers/clients. This analysis may include collection and analysis of information about the targeted customers/clients in terms of gender , range of age, likes and dislikes and average income.
Furthermore, it helps to make a comparison with major competitors providing same or similar products/services. There are several aspects that may be compared, for instance, financial strength, cost efficiency, impact of advertising, product/service range and special features of products/services.
If you choose C:
When aiming to improve customer service, first of all we should find out customer needs. Different approaches can be taken to collect information concerning customer needs, for example, designing a questionnaire for collecting most information, training a team for collecting and analyzing the information, etc.
In addition, dealing with complaints efficiently is also very important, which can be done in a variety of ways.
We may set up a hot line for customers to make complaints and train a team for handling customer complaints. The members of the team should be patient, enthusiastic and have good telephone manners and interpersonal skills.
It means a lot that every complaint is dealt with seriously by the team and the customer who makes a complaint is always informed of the final result.
It is advisable that a record of all complaints made by customers and how they have been dealt with be kept so that effective ways can be suggested as for how to deal with these complaints.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题题目要求: In this part of the test, the examiner reads out a scenario and gives you some prompt material in the form of pictures or words. You have 30 seconds to look at the task prompt, an example of which is below, and then about two minutes to discuss the scenario with your partner. After that, the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.Practice 1 For two or three candidates I’m going to describe a situation. Your company is going to rent offices. Talk together about the topics you could include when you decide to rent offices. Decide which 3 topics you think are most important. * three minutes for groups of three candidates Prompt material Topics to include ●Location ●Cost ●Transportation Follow-up questions: (l) Are facilities important when renting office? (Why? / Why not? ) (2) Do you think security system should be safe? (Why? / Why not? ) (3) Why do big companies also choose big office buildings? (Why? / Why not? )正确答案： 【参考范例】
A: You see. Our company is thinking about renting offices. What do you think should be taken into consideration before making a decision?
B: I think first we should consider the location. The offices should be better in the commercial area of the city, for it is easier for our company to be found and to exchange information with other companies in the area.
A: You are right. A good location will allow a company to do business more efficiently.
B: Moreover, I think cost is another factor that we need to consider. If the location is in the commercial area, the cost of renting may be very high.
A: That’s true. If the cost of the location is too high, it will certainly exceed the company’s budget. But if the price is reasonable, we can take it. After all, the cost should be on the average of the city.
B: Absolutely. What about the transportation?
A: The location should have good transport connection, and the transportation should be very convenient, linking the bus stop, subway, high way, the airport or the harbor. Then, the customers can get to our company without too much difficulty. .解析： 暂无解析 -

You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1 (The candidate chooses one topic and speaks about it for one minute.) A How to negotiate successfully when we are in business? B In business, what important role does the communication take? C What kinds of skills shall the technical writers have?正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
It is a key skill in any business to negotiate successfully so as to reach agreements with other people or parties. The negotiation could be done with a buyer or a seller and it will always involve an element of compromise, no matter what. But, when entering negotiations, it is important to keep in mind that to negotiate and make agreements successfully is almost impossible unless you think you can afford to ‘lose’ or walk away from on offer. The result will be you avoiding asking more than what you suppose the other side will give without a dispute. Consequently, you will become a passive observer, while the other side will dictate the terms.
If you choose B:
Communication is one of the most important features in any business. Good communications are indispensable at any stage of the business process.
Within individual company, internal communications happen at, and between the different levels. Directors will communicate with one another with regard to the company’s overall strategy. They communicate their plans to managers, and the managers then inform the other employees. Negotiations are usually conducted in terms of payment and working conditions. Managers try to boost morale and motivation with good communication. Employees also communicate with one another, over certain matters, for instance production and wages.
Reliable and effective communication is instrumental when it comes to efficient management of a company.
If you choose C:
Firstly, technical writers should be able to write well, which means more than just knowing the basics of spelling, grammar and punctuation. The ability to condense, organize and generalize complicated information to make it easier to understand is also very important. A good technical writer must also be capable of handling tight deadlines. As far as career prospects go, with the valuable experience gained, many technical writers actually have the chance to take on management roles. Then they will be responsible for the work of other writers within a particular company; or they may want to become contractors, in other words, selling their services to companies at an hourly rate through an agency which employs many freelance technical writers.解析： 暂无解析 -

If you choose A:
As everyone knows, it is of great importance for a company to maintain customer interest in their products, which can help the company keep the sales increasing. I think a company should make every effort to retain its current customers. First, it should always confirm that it provides its customers with quality goods and good after-sales services. Second, it should place enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to meet their needs and demands. Third, if possible, some incentives to its old customers should be provided to maintain this part of customers. All in all, a company should try every possible way to keep its current customers who are satisfied with its products and services, and meanwhile it should stay ahead of the market.
If you choose B:
Any distribution of products from producers to whole-salers or from wholesalers to retailers requires transportation. Sometimes, the cost of transporting some products can outnumber the cost of producing them. Therefore, an efficient form of transportation can give rise to lower costs and higher profits for the company. For each form of transportation, timing, cost, and availability should be estimated. This assessment permits the company to choose an optimal method of transportation. The most common forms of transportation used to distribute are truck, rail, air, water, pipeline.解析： 暂无解析 -

Related work experience is also of great importance. A skilled secretary can accomplish the office work quite satisfactorily. People with little experience sometimes will inevitably feel confused when dealing with the complicated relationships around the general manager.
In addition, the secretary should have a good personality because a good character will help a lot in smoothing the communication with the general manager and other staff members.

When cancelling a business meeting, firstly an apology for the cancellation is necessary due to its effect on the participants’ schedules and the inconvenience it has caused to others. A business meeting is not supposed not be easily cancelled if there are other alternatives.

Finally, new dates for the meeting should be set so that the participants can be better prepared.
If you choose topic C:

The inspired staff is more likely to enjoy the job and work more actively. There are various ways to motivate staff, of which giving bonuses is quite effective.

问答题Practice 2 A: What is important when...? Choosing a business-training course ●Fees ●Size of group ●Subjects covered B: What is important when...? Choosing a magazine to buy regularly ●Contents ●Cost ●Printing quality正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When choosing a business-training course, first of all I’d like to see if our company could afford the expenses. If the business training course is too costly, the company will have to reconsider the value and effect of that course.
In addition, the size of the goup shoud also be considered. If I were the decision-maker, I would select a small-sized group. Size of group will determine the quality of training to a great extent. A small group will provide each trainee with more opportunities.
Subjects covered also need to be noticed. If the training course covers a wide range of subjects, it will be instructive for the trainees in different aspects, since the more subjects are covered, the more knowledge they will gain.
If you choose B:
When choosing a magazine to buy regularly, contents are the first thing to consider. It is for sure people will look at what’s in a magazine before they decide to buy it. To a large extent, the quality of a magazine depends on its contents.
Another factor is the cost. The cost of a magazine will stir up warm response from the market. If the cost is relatively lower than that of the same category, as a rule, readers would prefer the cheaper one.
In addition, printing quality is the face of a magazine. Generally, copperplate printing is widely applied to high grade magazines, for low cost plain paper would downgrade their images.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题题目要求: In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute.

Working in a team ●Having a team leader ●Deciding people’s responsibilities ●Sharing information正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
If you choose B:
When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 5 A: What is important when...? Choosing offices to rent ●Location ●Cost ●Facilities B: What is important when...? Choosing packaging for a new product ●Design of packaging ●Materials used ●Cost of packaging正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When choosing offices to rent, location is essential. To a certain extent, it is a symbol of a company’s status. I prefer CBD area for it is easier to communicate and exchange information with other companies in the area.
In addition, cost is another important aspect. If the cost is too high, it will add too much burden to the company. Therefore, the company may not be able to afford it, yet reasonable cost can be considered.
Furthermore, we should consider the facilities in the offices to be rent. Good facilities will allow employees to have a good mood and therefore work more efficiently. Before renting any offices, make sure all the facilities are in good condition.
If you choose B:
When choosing packaging for a new product, it is important to think about the design of it. Since the new product is unknown to people, packaging will reveal some information about the product. The style, pictures on the package should be designed according to the common taste of the target customers.
Moreover, materials used for packaging are also very important because the right material reveals the quality of the product. Apart from that. if the new product is positioned as gift, the package should be made smart enough.
Cost is basic matter. We sell a new product for profitability. The cost of packaging constitutes part of the cost of the product. If a product is priced higher than the potential consumers’ purchasing-power, few people will buy it.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1 ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN MOTIVATING STAFF? ● FINANCIAL BENEFITS ● CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ●... B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN SATISFYING CUSTOMERS? ● A GOOD AFTER-SALES TEAM ● MORE CUMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS ●... C WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW? ● STUDYING THE JOB ADVERTISEMENT ● STUDYING THE COMPANY ●...正确答案： 【参考范例】
Sample A:
Well, I’m very interested in this topic—what’s important when motivating staff. As far as I am concerned, I think we should take three main important factors into consideration, that is, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss. Firstly, the most important factor should be the financial benefits. They may consist of good salary, bonus and other perks. As we know, instead of working for fun, most people work to live. And also as the saying goes, money can make the mare go, thus money is very important in develop staff’s motivationm. Secondly, career development chances are quite important. In reality, there is nobody who does not want to be promoted. If there are not any good career prospects in a job, staff will probably give up the job. Finally, an easy-going boss is also important. Nobody is willing to work with a difficult boss. In conclusion, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss are important in motivating staff.
Sample B:
Well, I’d like to talk about the important factors that are beneficial to improve customers’ satisfaction. Firstly, we need a group of outstanding after-sales service team. It is true that it is difficult to meet the demands of every customer, but our duties involve dealing with customers’ complaints and trying all manner of ways to solve their problems. In order to cultivate an efficient group of after-sales service team, we must arrange some staff training courses. Besides, we need to conduct researches on customers about whether they are satisfied with our products and in what aspects they are dissatisfied. On the basis of the result of the researches, we can make improvement. In a word, a excellent after-sales team and more communication with customers can help improve customer satisfaction.
Sample C:
The objective of my talk is how to prepare for a job interview. I think the preparation mainly consists of studying the job advertisement, finding out information about the company and preparing yourself psychologically. First of all, you should study carefully the job advertisement so that you can match your qualifications, such as knowledge, abilities and skills, with the specifications required for the vacancy. You must make the interviewer believe that you have all the qualifications required, thus you are the right kind of person they are looking for. Secondly, you should know more about the company, for example its profile, requirements, existing problems, structure, campaigns and future plans. Finally, you should also prepare yourself psychologically and this will help you overcome stress. For example, rehearsing the interview with your friends is a good way of relaxation exercise that can put confidence in you.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2 ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? NEGOTIATING ● COMPROMISE ● DISPUTE ●... B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? EMPLOYING TECHNICAL WRITERS ● BEING ABLE TO WRITE WELL ● MEETING TIGHT DEADLINES ●... C WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? MANAGING A COMPANY ● COMMUNICATION ● EXECLLENT MANAGER ●...正确答案： 【参考范例】
Mini-representation One:
I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
Mini-representation Two
Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Throughout the history of human being, people are always pursuing happiness while nobody can give a definition nor can a consensus be achieved. Generally, happiness consists of two levels: material level and spiritual level. As far as I am concerned, spiritual happiness can bring people with greater satisfaction.
To begin with, being happy is not a mood under certain circumstances, but a person with a certain set of attitudes. It is difficult for anyone to get what he wants without a great deal of effort. After making great and arduous effort, even if the target is achieved as expectation, there is nothing left but suffering and pain, because he amplifies the efforts rather than emphasizes the harvests. To reach the happiness they seek, however, the only thing people should do is to change their attitude toward happiness, and the way they look at the world around them.
Moreover, happiness is not what people are born with but what people take action to get. Many people seek their unique happiness through imagination and daydreams. Obviously, everyone fantasies sometimes. But, without actions, no one can come close to finding the happiness he seeks. Happiness and bliss cannot be found merely through unrealistic envision, but must be sought through actions, through doing.
To sum up, although we say that happiness is rooted in optimistic attitudes, it can never be achieved without any effort. It arises spontaneously from within as small goals are reached.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 7 Task Sheet: A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? Aiming to improve career prospects ● Reading business articles ● Learning a foreign language ●…______ B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHE...? Deciding how to transport goods ● Destination ● Speed______ ●… C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...? Purchasing new machinery ● Level of automation ● Maintenance requirements ●…正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When aiming to improve career prospects, you need to realize the importance of reading business articles. You need to understand what is going on in the business world, what is the latest trend in making deals. Learn more about financing and the industry you are in. Try to familiarize yourself with more management skills concerning time management, project management, HR management, PR management, etc.
Secondly, learn a foreign language will also help improve career prospects. Grasping a foreign language means that better communication with foreign investors and clients. You will be able to read business articles published in foreign newspapers/magazines. When attending international conferences, you will have no problem in understanding keynote speeches at such conferences.
If you choose B:
When deciding how to transport goods, first of all, you need to figure out how far away the destination is so that you can better decide on the means for transporting goods. For instance, shipping is often considered the most economical way to transport goods of large quantities to far destinations. As the express highways develop rapidly in our country, transportation by truck has won increasing popularity as it can offer door-to-door delivery services for most destinations within the country.
Another factor to be taken into account when deciding how to transport goods is speed. Although the fastest way is by air, transportation by air has also its disadvantages since it is more expensive than other means of transportation and transporting goods in very large sizes is very difficult.
If you choose C:
When purchasing new machinery, it is important to know about the level of automation, that is whether it is fully automated or partly automated. In case that it is only partly automated, you need to think about how to operate it and whether the workers need to be trained to operate it. If it is necessary to offer some training, you need to consider the selection of trainers. Moreover, the training cost and who will pay for it needs to be taken into consideration.
Furthermore, it is necessary to know whether it is easy to maintain the machinery and the relevant requirements, like how often does it require a routine maintenance check, how often does it require an overhaul, whether it is easy to get spare parts or replacement parts, whether spare parts are included in the overall price for the machinery, etc.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 4 A: What is important when...? Choosing a conference center ●Facilities ●Accommodations ●Location B: What is important when...? Selecting an employee ●Qualification ●Personality ● Creativity正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When choosing a conference center, it is of vital importance to consider the facilities, since facility available is the hardware component of a conference center. If the facility is in condition,, our work won’t be held up.
Moreover, accommodation is another important matter. As a complex building, a conference center should cater to daily necessities, providing the guests with satisfactory food and bedrooms, which would leave them a pleasant recollection.
At the same time, location is a decisive factor for business. For a conference center, company-intensive downtown area would be an ideal choice. However, there’s also a trend of moving towards tranquil suburbs.
If you choose B:
When selecting an employee, we should check on his or her qualification first. Certificates and diplomas can be referred to, since they reflect the extent to which the candidate receives education. However, they do not necessarily stand for a candidate’s qualification. We’ve met with too many incompetent holders of advanced degrees in real life. It is unrealistic to depend on them to make a profit for the company. On the contrary, interviewees with practical experience would bring in more benefits for the company.
The second factor is the personality of the candidate. Everyone has a unique personality, which is a welcome phenomenon. However, a group of staff with similar personalities will meet with far less internal conflicts. Yet, there’s also a problem to worry about, since this unit might become a stagnantworking place where there is no room for vitality in the long run. Therefore, what is needed is a balance.
Moreover, we should attach great importance to an employee’s creativity. Mediocreyesmanwho is accustomed to echoing the views of others clearly belongs to redundantlabourer. The employee is expected to have innovative ideas and be creative.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 A: What is important when...? Keeping excellent staff ● Attractive salary ● Comfortable company culture ●Opportunities to improve B: What is important when...? Selling a new product ●Discount ●Quality ● Advertising正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
Firstly, the reward of a job is absolutely vital to many experienced staff for they made great contribution to the company. So an attractive salary is necessary. Otherwise, why would they apply themselves to piles of documents and pages of codes? Providing an attractive salary is very important to keep excellent and experienced staff.
Secondly, it is also sensible to form a relaxing and comfortable company environment for the staff. Working five days a week means that they spend quite a large part of their time in the company, and it is apparent that a pleasant atmosphere will be quite attractive.
Thirdly, companies can’t afford to neglect giving staff opportunities to improve their professional skills and other comprehensive abilities. Otherwise, staff will be concerned that one day they would be out-dated in terms of skills.
If you choose B:

As far as I am concerned, market research should be carried out before starting any project. It is evident that the needs of the consumers should be considered brfor the launching of any project . If a certain product is abundant in the market, it can be a bad idea to make more of that kind of product. On the other hand, if people have certain needs of some products, it is the perfect time to design the projects for a good market will be there.
Of course, it is only with appropriate implementation can a positive impact be achieved., after the design is completed. For instance, financial support and well-trained personnel should be taken into consideration when implementing the project.
Furthermore, profitability analysis is another factor to consider. Before we carry out any project, we should do some profitability analysis. A lot can be revealed from studying economic indicators. Economic indicators mean the consumer confidence index, employment cost index, producer price index, consumer price index and so on. All of them will show the prosperity of market.
If you choose topic B
The completion of production and the profit of the company is closely connected with cost control.

For instance, by improving their professional skills the accounting staff can help with the cost control. All in all, the well-being of the company needs the efforts of every section.
If you choose topic C
When promoting a new product, we should consider several factors. First of all, the distribution channel of the product is of prime importance. It is suggested that the designing of the whole promoting campaign be based on that. In other words, it is a choice of designing a universal way to advertise the product or allowing the retailers to do it their own way.
Secondly, perfect timing of the launching is also very significant. If there is the crash of similar products promoting in the same season, never take it lightly. An overflow of the product into the market is very likely to happen..
In addition, an appropriate media in promoting new products also means a lot. If a right media is chosen, target consumers can access the advertisement of the new product much easier., Besides, different strategies can be applied when different products are to be advertised. For instance, we can think of some new way to make the product known and accepted.解析： 暂无解析
