BEC高级口语
一、 你的第一个任务：提问摘串
TRACY备注：请你花1－2个小时的时间，将BEC高级口语考题中从P1到P3的提问中所有“串儿”摘到你的串儿口袋书里——此乃磨刀不误砍柴工也。
二、 你的第二个任务：
把下面这几个几乎必问的自我介绍类问题，彻底准备好，答案要100%准确。
你可以参考下文的示范回答，更可以到www.google.com.hk搜索自己想了解的内容。
切忌：自己写的答案并不可靠，因为，它的前提是你的写作水平要高于口语水平啊，呵呵。所以，要记住，网络搜索，是你能随时校对自己的英语水平的一个好方法。举个例子，如果你想写的是“我的梦想是成为管理咨询顾问”这样的一个内容，你可以输入become a management consultant在google中进行搜索，所出现的页面就都是和“咨询顾问”相关的页面了，你一定可以找到很多高分的“串儿”。
当然，google校对并不是很容易掌握的，不过，就算你遇到困难，你也是在练习你的英文阅读啊！而且，只要坚持，试验个几十次你就能大致掌握这种方法了。
PART 1自我介绍类的话题
PERSONAL INFORMATION（TRACY备注：仅供参考，大家尽可以有自己的回答方法。） 1. What’s your name?
a) My name is SU Chao.为对方着想 2. Where are you from?
a) My hometown is Xian, but presently I’m studying/working in Beijing. 可以提到自己的学校
b) My hometown is Beijing, and presently I’m studying in XX University. 3. Do you work or are you a student?
a) I’m a student. I’m doing XX（专业名） in XX（学校名）。
b) I work for a small trading company. I’m a sales representative. 先扣题再解释
1
c) I’m between jobs at the moment. I quit my job XX ago to concentrate on English studies. After this test, I’ll look around to see what suits me. 词串的作用
4. How do you think about your major or work?
a) On one hand, I’ve always enjoyed studying English, because I find it very interesting to learn western history and culture. But on the other hand, I quite worry about my career path because in my opinion, English major means no major unless I want to work as an English teacher or editor, hehe. So, I’ve been eager to improve myself in other areas, such as business English, or Computer skills. 辨证+例子
b) I don’t really like it because it’s very boring, for example, sometimes we are required to check numbers for a whole day. In addition, I don’t think I’m very good at math and logic. So, I’m eager to acquire some other skills, such as business English. 例子，图形化
c) Finance sounds like a very prospective subject, but it’s really not my cup of tea. I’m not very good at math and logic, and the numbers and mathematical models really give me headaches. So, I’ve decided not to do anything related to financial analysis after graduation. 对比
d) I find it a very challenging major. For example, the JAVA language is really hard for me. Sometimes I spend a whole day looking for a bug. It’s terrible, isn’t it? 图形化
e) XX is often described as a “comfortable” major because our compulsory subjects such as XX and XX, all seem to be a lot easier than the courses in other majors like computer or engineering. However, I really worry if the ease in studies today may become the difficulty in job hunting tomorrow! So, I guess I have to study harder to make myself more competitive. 对比 5. Could you tell me about your ambitions for the future?
a) Well, my immediate career goal after obtaining the Bachelor’s Degree is joining an international telecommunications company, for instance, Hua Wei, or Nokia, to work as a telecommunications products sales. And then, I want to advance myself to senior sales management positions. 按时间为序的逻辑+词串
b) My short term goal is to join a big company to work in either sales or marketing department. After accumulating enough management know-how, I’ll realize my long term goal, start my own business. 时间为序
c) Frankly speaking, I haven’t decided on my career plans since I’m still just a sophomore, but I think there’s a good chance that I’ll further my studies in International Business till I get the Master’s Degree. And then, I’ll advance myself in this field. 时间为序

三、 你的第三个任务：回答300－500个问题，并对其中100个－200个题
进行摘串。
1. 大量答题是为了加强你自己的思维。 2. 摘串是为了完善地道表达。
3. 如果你自己训练，你可以用“汉堡包式答题法”练习以下题目，即英文－中文－英文回答。
4. 推荐你找到PARTNER两个人操练，也使用汉堡包答题法，先用英文提问，再用中文提问，最后再用英文提问即可。 5. 在回答完毕之后，再进行“本讲义参考答案或者GOOGLE摘串”，把与你思路吻合的“串儿”投入自己的“串库”）
