You have 30 seconds to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below, and then about 3 minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.  For two candidates  Program for New Staff  Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the situation.  Discuss and decide together:  ● why poor time management can become a major problem in companies.  ● what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    A: Hi. As you know, these days our company is sort of out of control. Don’t you think so?
    B: Yeah. Everything appears to be in chaos here in our company. And that clearly has resulted from poor time management.
    A: You mean poor time management has led to all these problems? Why?
    B: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not distribute blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite clue of when they should finish a certain task.
    A: I think they often ignore the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in the company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very important task.
    B: That’s the point. So time should be planned in line with the significance of the tasks we need to deal with.
    A: So what do you think we can do in order to manage time effectively here in our company?
    B: You mean what means we can adopt?
    A: Sure. That’s what our boss is asking us to do, right?
    B: Right. I think we’ve got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members aware of the importance of effective time management to our company.
    A: Yes, I think instruction in time management will be useful for them, especially those in supervisory positions.
    B: Great. Perhaps we can run a few training courses for them. If necessary, we may invite some professionals from outside to help us.
    A: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, think of a job description of their own. Only in this way, can they be pretty sure about what they are accountable for and what they are not.
    B: Yes, that’s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should make a set of rules with regard to what sort of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can confirm that significant tasks are handled first.
    A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down a job description of their own.
    B: And rules should be made about what sort of job should be given priority to.

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...?  Selecting staff for overseas training:  ● Work experience  ● Command of the language of the target country  ●...  B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN...?  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.

    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. .

    Method for College Students to Cover Tuition Fees and Other Living Costs In China, college students should pay for the tuition fees themselves. However, most students have no jobs and the most common way to cover tuition fees is to turn to parents for help. There are also some students who find jobs in the summer before they go to college. In my opinion, the best way is to find part-time jobs.
    On the one hand, they are in school all the time, from primary school to high school. They never get in touch with society and need social experience. So, during college time, they can take the opportunity of doing part-time jobs to accelerate experience.
    On the other hand, college students can earn money to support themselves. Some students are able to earn their tuition fees and some may not. Even though the money they earn is not enough for the tuition fees, it can cover their living costs.
    All in all, part-time job not only can add social experience but also can support college students their everyday life and even tuition fees. It is the best way for them because they can benefit much from it.

    问答题
    Practice 4  ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 mimes  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…?  Analysing project feasibility  ● Market research  ● Implementation of the project  ●…  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Dealing with cost control  ● Monitor asset usage  ● Improve productivity  ●…  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Promoting a new product  ● Distribution channel  ● Perfect timing of launching  ●...

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A
    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. We should make a through calculation of monitor asset usage as well as the productivity and unit labor cost to make full use of all the assets. Improving the production line will be a good way to improve productivity, which will reduce the storage time and save money. As for asset usage, it will be wise to monitor if every piece of them is fully used.
    We can also try to find substantial material for the sake of reducing the cost .By doing this, we can also ask for discount from the supplier. I am sure they will give favorable discounts to regular customers.
    The participation of all the employees will be needed in terms of cost control. Actually, every section can contribute in one way or another. 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.

    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.

    A: Hi, as you know, these days our company is kind of out of control. Don’t you think so?
    B: Yeah. Everything appears to be in chaos here in our company. And that clearly has resulted from poor time management.
    A: You mean poor time management has led to all these problems. Why?
    B: When a company does not have a well-planned time-schedule, they usually do not distribute blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite clue of when they should finish a certain task. And
    A: And I think the ordering of priorities is often ignored. I mean the urgent tasks need completing first. But in our company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very urgent task.
    B: That’s the point. So time should be scheduled based on the importance of the tasks we need to handle.

    B: Right, perhaps we can run a few training courses for them. If necessary, we may invite some professionals from outside to help us.
    A: Another thing we need to do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, come up with their own job description. Only in this way, can they be pretty sure about what they are accountable for and what they are not.
    B: Yes, that’s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should make a set of rules with respect to what sort of jobs should be paid prior attention. In this way, we can confirm that important tasks are coped with first.
    A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down their own job description.

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…?  Selecting a secretary for the general manager  ● Qualifications  ● Related work experience  B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Cancelling a business meeting  ● Making an apology  ● Reasons for cancellation  C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?  Motivating staff  ● Bonuses offered  ● Pleasant working environment

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A:
    When selecting a secretary for the general manager, we must first of all consider if he or she has the qualifications needed. A candidate with adequate knowledge of office skills and public relations will be an ideal one.
    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.
    If you choose topic B:
    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.
    After the apology, you should give the participants reasons for cancelling the meeting and make it convincing and sincere. Normally, participants will show their understanding and tolerance if the thuth is told and the attitude is acceptable. In case some participants have already arrived at the meeting venue or on the way to it, there should be an another plan to compensate for the time and financial loss of the participants.
    Finally, new dates for the meeting should be set so that the participants can be better prepared.
    If you choose topic C:
    I believe that we all know the significance of motivating staff to increase their productivity and their contribution to the company. 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. Occasional stimuli of money will drive the staff forward.
    Plus, a pleasant work environment is also very important in motivating staff since people like staying in a clean and tidy office where they can work more efficiently. A well-equipped office will help staff do more meaningful and creative work.

    正确答案:
    【范文】
    My Views on the Freedom Given to Young People Young people have more freedom today than they did one hundred years ago, but how much freedom depends on the family. And it is obvious that nowadays young people are given too much freedom by their parents.
    As we know, today parents are busy with their work and have no time to get much information about their children, for example what they have done and what kinds of friends they have. This isn’t a good phenomenon because young people can easily get into trouble by drinking too much or mixing with the wrong people. What’s worse, they may get addicted into online games. Therefore, some limitations should be given to young people, such as the prohibition of drinking and smoking and the online time. On the other hand, young people must learn how to be sensible, knowing what should be done and what shouldn’t be done.
    In all, I don’t think parents should give their children too much freedom, but it is important for parents and children to reach agreement on some rules.

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.
