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 -

A: We all know customer satisfaction is essential to the survival of our businesses. How do you think we can find out whether our customers are satisfied?
B: In my opinion, in order to find out whether our customers are satisfied or not, the best and most direct way is to ask them.
A: Certainly many ways can be adopted to ask them whether they are satisfied with our company, our products, and the service they received. Can you name some common ways?
B: Sure. we can ask them face-to-face when they are about to walk out of our store or office. In addition, we can also call them on the phone after their visits and ask how they feel about our products and service.
A: Well. Good idea. Any other ways?
B: Mail them a questionnaire is also an option. This technique has long been used, which turns out to be quite effective
A: As far as I am concerned, we can ask certain questions in a customer satisfaction survey to get to know their expectations and to collect information about what need to be changed and what need to be maintained to increase their satisfaction.
B: By all means basic customer satisfaction questions should be asked, like “ Are you satisfied with the service you received?” Still, we need to ask the customers loyalty questions, for instance “What are the chances of you recommending our products/services to others?” Plus, some research needs to be done to know what the customer like and don’t like about the products, services and the company.
A: That is the point.
Follow-up questions:

Q1: Do you think feedback from customers is the most important thing to consider? Why or why not?
A: Yes, their feedback can reveal a lot and be very useful. You can improve your products’ quality accordingly. ﹨No, it is not wise to completely depend on that, since some customers may not take it seriously when answering questions.

A: I would say staff training is the fundamental way to improve customer services.﹨Customer satisfaction survey can be more effective in improving customer satisfaction.
Q4: How often should you conduct a customer satisfaction survey?
A: As is said, the most wise way is to conduct a customer satisfaction survey often enough to get the most information, to upset the customers, but not so often as to upset the customers”.
Q5: Have you ever thought about what to do with the answers from a customer satisfaction survey?
A: Yes. The answers from different customers need to be compiled and used to predict trends.﹨No, feedback alone is not enough and further research together with other surveys needs also to be conducted.解析： 暂无解析 -

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.

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.

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.
In addition, team spirit and trusty colleagues can also contribute in motivating staff.,which will always make everyone enjoy the work.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay discussing about how much freedom parents should allow young people to have nowadays. 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】
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.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. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1 A: What is important when...? Attending an interview ●Punctuality ●Manner ●Appearance B: What is important when...? 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 -
