    Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the topic “How to Solve the Energy Problem.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

    正确答案:
    【范文】
    How to Solve the Energy Problem Energy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. Not a few far-sighted people point out that our natural resources are very much limited. If we keep consuming our resources at the present rate, they warn, the world will soon be running out of oil, coal and metals and this will certainly lead to a serious energy crisis threatening mankind’s survival.
    The majority of the world’s people have responded with a clamor for more severe conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things go on like this, we will leave for our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to practise economy in using energy and cut down waste of any form so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources.
    But conservation alone is not all the answer. The best way to solve the energy problem is, I think, to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately. And when they are unexplored areas seems to be the only way out of our predicament.

    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.

    To: Mr. Smith, Managing Director
    From: John Walker, Head of the Administrative Department
    Date: Feb. 28, 2012
    Proposal on improving company’s website service This report aims at summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of the current website, and recommending new services and information to be provided through the website.
    Strengths
    Our current website can streamline business processes to improve efficiencies of operations. According to information provided by current website, we can analyze past customer behavior to anticipate the needs of customers, which allows suppliers and customers controlled access to the date they require.
    Over the Web now we are capable of offering products and services to the customers. We can present products more effectively,take orders and invoice on-line, which means improving business profit and offering a faster,more responsive service for customers. Through website we have built our reputation on high quality products and personal service.
    Weaknesses
    Because we need to offer 24-hour website service, we have to take on more expenses. In order to tackle the potential systems failures we also need to keep up-to-date with technical advances.
    Currently many e-commerce customers lack faith in system security. It’s difficult for customers to trust e-commerce when they can’t see the practices behind the promises.
    Recommendation
    I would like to recommend a portfolio of on-line service,combining online files with data collected about people’s off-line purchase to improve target promotions,thus making our website popular and depart from its once-serious image. With new offerings, the content makeover should attract enough users and keep them there long enough for the company to increase advertising and e-commerce sales to larger revenue.

    Practice 2  ● Your company has decided to protect itself safer from industrial espionage. You have been asked to put forward a proposal concerning this.  ● Write your proposal, including the following:  ● identifying the problems with security,  ● suggesting possible measures to be taken,  ● mentioning possible dissatisfactions from within with the policy,  ● recommendations for how to make the staff happy with it.  ● Write 200—250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Introduction
    The objective of this proposal is to make the employees pay more attention to industrial espionage and concerning it, we should take some effective measures to cope with the problems.
    Findings
    A recent investigation has shown that there is something wrong with our company’s security, which will have a very bad effect on development of the company in an all-round way. For instance, a new product programme has been on the discussion. But, some company plans a similar program earlier than us. We have to bear the unpredictable loss. Apart from that, it is very irresponsible for some employees to reveal our customers’ personal information, which defames our company’s reputation as well as despises one’s own moral quality.
    Recommendations
    Concerning the seriousness of this issue, I would propose that some useful and effective measures should be taken. First of all, only the high level personnel can access to the top confidential documents and other employees cannot look over them or even borrow them with any excuse. Secondly, each employee without his or her own ID and password can not enter the center system of the company’s computer. Thirdly, impeachment mechanism should be improved.
    Conclusion
    To some extent, these measures would naturally result in dissatisfactions from the staff who may feel restrained. At the same time, they may suspect that our company has no faith in them. As a result, I strongly propose that we should make the staff aware of the importance of anti-espionage actions and we will spare no effort to protect our company safer from industrial espionage.

    To: Mr. Mark Hudson, CEO
    From: Paul Christina, Director of the Human Resources Department
    Date: May 28, 2012
    Proposal on how to turn classroom training into workplace learning As requested by the CEO, I am submitting this report to the management for consideration. The purpose of this report is to summarize the key factors in making effective learning cycle.
    Our company will provide overall training programmes, aiming at improving staff’s performance. However, classroom training does not always turn into valuable learning. As everyone knows, we can acquire much of the knowledge needed for effective job performance through practical experience, instead of from specific training programmes. Based on the statistics, it is unlikely that trainees on a typical corporate training programme apply more than 3 per cent of what they have learnt to their work. Most people cannot remember at least 10 per cent of what they have learned within a week of receiving training.
    How do we ensure that professional training work for the employees, administrative staff and company alike? As far as I am concerned, the following key factors need to be taken into account:
    Objectives: Trainees should have clear objectives. When trainees have clear objectives to achieve in all training programmes they are more likely to learn effectively and gain the competences they need.
    Practice: Trainees should have the chance to experiment with different ways of doing things, observe how others do their jobs, try new skills and get specific feedback on their performance.
    Application: Trainees should be capable of applying what they have learned to real work situations and evaluate the consequences, according to the insights they have acquired in the goal-setting and training.
    Attitude: Employees should adopt a positive and mature approach, with practical expectations about what the training programmes can achieve. The employees should be instructed to realize the long-term value of training and motivated to take ownership of the learning process.

    Subject: Management Skills Most Suitable for Foreign Language Translators
    The Company has planned three training courses for all foreign language translators for the next three months and I have been required to recommend one course as being the most suitable.
    The three courses from which a choice may be made are as follows:
    (i)English Language Development; (ii) Changes in Technology; (iii) Management Skills.
    All translators in the Company have college degrees in English Language and a lot of colleagues in our field have postgraduate qualifications in Translation or Linguistics. Since English Language Training Course of the Company is only to Diploma level and contains nothing new to us, it is not useful for us and is best left to other colleagues.
    Two months ago all Company’s translators finished an excellent “Changes in Technology” course, which brought us up-to-date information on use of machine translating and personal computers. Obviously, there is no need for us to attend the “Changes in Technology” course again.
    Undoubtedly the “Management Skills” course is the best choice for the Company’s translators. Recently it has been announced that next year our department will be divided into four sections, each of which will serve a specific division of a much-expanded Company. We will recruit twenty new English Language graduates as new translators, five to each section. We four existing translators will be promoted as Heads of Section.
    All four of us are shortage of management skills and, when we manage our own sections, such skills will be indispensable. As a result, I will recommend without hesitation that all translators be enrolled for the “Management Skills” training course.

    It Pays to Be Honest Nowadays, some people hold the opinion that those honest people are fools whose ways of coping with the outside world cannot work. They believe that only those who stop at nothing to get what one wants can subsist and succeed in our society, which features severe competitions. However, in my opinion, no matter what we do, to be honest is the best policy for all of us. If we stick to the principle of honesty, we will benefit and achieve for sure a lot from it, which will promote us to succeed in the future.
    Honesty can help us win trust and respect from others, which no doubt will do good to us. In university, for example, to students, honesty is of great importance and of great value to their academic research or cooperation with their supervisors. To tell the truth, it requires a good deal of time and patience to do the research honestly. Nevertheless, we will learn a lot from our hard work and will feel fulfilled as well. At the same time, our efforts will be recognized by our supervisors. In this way our honesty will not only bring us improvement in studies, but also will lead to mutual trust and respect between students and supervisors.
    In conclusion, honesty is the best policy for all of us. Whatever we do we must uphold the principle of honesty, because it not only can win trust and respect from others for us, but also bring us more opportunities in the future.

    Introduction
    This proposal aims at recommending the time and location to launch our new mode of cellphone and suggesting ways of promotion.
    When and Where
    Time: Since students are the target customers of our new mode of cellphone, the best promotion time will be the summer holiday when new college students are leaving home and have to buy cellphones to communicate with their family.
    Place: our best choice is the Victory Shopping Mall located near the campus, as the square in front of the mall has enough space for the launch and there are a dozen colleges around the mall.
    How and What
    We strongly suggest the following promotion activities:
    Promotional flyers: We should create high-quality promotional flyers that tell customers of competitive price and the advanced quality of our product. Our key features and after sales service should also be included in it .
    Promotional video: Simple, short-length product demonstration videos are really noticeable. We can show that our cellphone can be used everywhere in the world in the video.
    Coupons: Most customers love coupons and a $20 coupon can stimulate sales volume of our new cellphone.
    Possible benefits
    These promotion approaches will help achieve success for the new product and as a result have a positive impact on the company identity.
    Possible risks
    The possible risks involved in these promotions are that in summer it rains a lot and maybe there will not be many participants on a rainy day. Therefore, we should pay attention to weather forecast and make a good preparation for a rainy day.

    Findings
    It is right to say that everyone has their own roles and accountabilities in this organization. It is still a pity though we can not work as closely as possible in a team. As we all know, people are different from each other, and everybody has their own merits and demerits.

In addition, no one is successful if our team loses.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Proposal for sales promotion of the new product (computer PC06) According to your request in your memo of 26 June, I am sending to you my proposal for sales promotion activities for the new product—Computer PC 06.
    It is already agreed that since our prime prospects are to be found in the professions, the industry trade, and other administrative organizations, our advertising campaign will be targeted at this market segment instead of the mass consumer.
    Therefore, the principal strategy for our promotional activities will be to offer our authorized dealers an effective stimulus and support. But we are not supposed to ignore the potential effect of a well-planned promotional policy including retail outlet displays.
    So the categories of promotional activity our policy needs to cover are as what follows:
    1. Promotional literature
    2. Trade promotions
    3. Point-of-sale display
    4. Financial incentives for the consumer
    5. Brand image
    6. Consumer services
    We trust the following specific promotional activities will be within the total proposed budget and the allocation of that for each item will be made accordingly:
    1. Special discount will be offered to retailer and dealers who order large quantities of goods on consignment.
    2. Product brochures and product line catalogues will be available to potential customers upon request.

    Report on Sponsoring ‘‘2009 Super Girl” Introduction:
    The purpose of this report is to find out reasons of sponsoring “2009 Super Girl” on Hu’nan TV and evaluate this decision in order to guide next year’s sponsoring policy.
    Reasons:
    This year’s “Super Girl” was sponsored by our company, as it would be shown on Hu’nan TV. It was expected that this exposure would improve public recognition of the company name and its products because during the break time the candidates, hosts and hostess will make recommendation to our casual clothes.
    Advantages & Disadvantages:
    We delegated a market research company to conduct an on line research in the week following the broadcast, and this revealed an increase of six percentage points in public awareness of our name in comparison with a year ago. Furthermore, after the program sales increased by nearly 50 percent immediately, compared with the same period in the previous year. Also, since we sponsored it we have received more offers than last years.
    The cost of sponsorship had taken up over half the total marketing budget for the current financial year, which was greater than expected. The research found that too many offers led to another problem: it is impossible for the company to complete the tasks punctually because we lack skilled workers and enough equipment.
    Recommendation:
    It would be advisable that sponsorship should be on the basis of the company’s financial ability and strictly follow its annual budget. Besides, proper investment on staff and new equipment would make contribution to the company’s development.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    To: Manager
    From: Will Smith
    Date: Oct.23, 2012
    Subject: New Premise
    Introduction
    The Health, Safety, and Environmental team and the Admin Team jointly inspected our targeted premise-16th floor of the Fortune Building. It is an upscale office building with very good facilities such as parking lot, and A/C. The top floor of the building is what we are looking at. It is quoted 100 per square meters per month.
    Recommendation
    We, the working team, suggest that we would like to take this premise. We made this decision after inspecting a dozen of office buildings in the three month’s. The judgment is made in terms of the cost, fame and accessibility. The schedule of its availability can also satisfy our schedule of moving.
    Conclusion
    In the downtown area, this is the ONLY new office building. Locating in the downtown area means that we get much closer to all our suppliers and customers. This will make us more appealing and bring us convenience, and also save our people time, cost and energy to travel from what we are now to the downtown area. The building has really very good fame that matches us as a Multi-National Company better than before. With respect to cost, our planned budget is enough to cover the cost, and according to the agency the offer is negotiable.

    Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled. Does an Intensive Training Course Really Help? You should write at least 140 words.

    正确答案: Does an Intensive Training Course Really Help? On campus we can find many advertisements of intensive training course which seek to attract the eyeballs of the students who are preparing for the exams. Does an intensive training course really help?
    Some students are in favor of choosing an intensive training course for two reasons. Firstly, they believe they can learn systematically in such a course. Secondly, they just follow the trends. If their classmates choose to take the course, it is quite likely that they will take one as well;otherwise they will fall behind the trends. On the contrary, some students hold that the intensive training is little-yielding. They would like to follow their own study plan. They firmly believe that study is a lasting process and the intensive training courses really do little help to examinations.
    In my opinion, in such intensive training courses you will get skills for exams, rather than real knowledge. We should not resort to the intensive training for the shortcut of exams.
    点评:文章第一段由大学校园里很多辅导班的广告的事实引出上辅导班有没有用的问题。第二段是针对这一问题的正反两反面观点。最后一段作者给出自己的看法,认为辅导班教授的是考试技巧,而非真正的知识,所以不应该依赖辅导班。

    Practice 3  ● You are the Director of the Training Department. The CEO asked you to prepare a proposal for the company in-house course for the management discussion.  ● Write 200—250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Company In-house Training Course: Finance for Managers The Training Department has been asked to run this course again, which was very successful last time. It is going to take place at the Training Center of the Company from 1st to 10th October.
    Firstly, it should be known that it is an intensive, practical, residential course, which aims to improve the ability of managers to handle the financial and numerical aspects of their work. It will include the following aspects: understanding the underlying principles of financial management; developing the needed skills to plan and implement a budget; improving their ability to read and interpret accounting data as well as understanding and interpreting the company’s internal financial systems. After three days of training, managers are bound to have a better knowledge of how finance works in the company. Moreover, they can also learn how important it is to use information technology effectively in order to improving profitability.
    Secondly, we have received very positive feedbacks after the April course, in particular from the managers of the more recently established departments. They especially appreciated the practical and ‘the Company-based’ aspects of the course. We trust this course will meet the needs of non-financial managers already involved in budget planning and financial management as part of their job to some extent, and wishing to increase their expertise in job-related finance. However, it should be point out that the course is not designed for managers who have already undergone a professional training in finance.
    Thirdly, for participants, a certain amount of work will have to be done in preparation for the course. Managers will be required to analyze the financial procedures of their own departments. It will support a programme of group exercises and case studies with the purpose to stimulate discussion and decide on action, relating specifically to the company’s actual issues and problems. It is expected that the following topics will come out of this work: the structure of the company internal accounting systems, costing methods and cost control, profit analysis and cash-flow forecasts, capital and revenue spending, as well as the practical tools of measurement in financial performance.
    Fourthly, as the author of a well-known series of business skills publications, Tim Reeves has particular expertise in the needs of a medium-sized company with our range of business activities. Peter Harrington is the other consultant involved. He is a Financial Manager, with special contribution to relating the course content to the Company systems and procedures. With feedback from the April course and recent management recommendations, we will give more attention to the details of the company pricing policy.
    Candidates are expected to send completed internal application forms to Ross Dixon at the earliest possible time if it is their wish to reserve a place on this course. We will distribute further details of accommodation and exact timings within three days. Contact me on 55667788, if further information is required.
