商务英语口语测试考试指南

商务英语口语测试考试指南
一、考试指定教材：
《世纪商务英语听说教程1》（第四版）姜荷梅总主编，大连理工大学出版社。

二、基本内容：
项目1：考生进行自我介绍，介绍的要素如下：
自我介绍样本：
I am Cao Yan. I am 20. I am now a major in English at Yinxing Hospitality and Management College.
There are 3 people in my family, my father, mother and I. I also like making friends. I learn a lot from them.
In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things. Also, I like sports, movies and novels. I benefit a lot from those hobbies.
I think language is very interesting. I wish I can study and read more English literatures, esp. business English and enlarge my knowledge. After my graduation, I would like to have a job related to business English.
Notes
1、见面问候语：Good morning / afternoon, dear professors. I am XXX. (Nice to meet you。

)。

告别用语：Thanks for your time. / Thank you for giving such a chance.
2、自我介绍篇(重点)。

自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为宜。

思路要清楚，要突出重点，
口语尽量流利。

1) 作自我介绍时，不要用…let me introduce myself briefly / please allow me to introduce myself to you等句子，重复、啰嗦。

开头可以只用一句话引入：Dear professors, I feel so glad to meet all of you here.然后就可以进入主题，介绍姓名、年龄等等。

2) 自我介绍的主体内容：
①姓名。

介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准。

②年龄。

年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。

③原来的院校、专业。

注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚。

在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。

④一些表示性格、能力的形容词有：active, aggressive, adaptable, amicable, analytical, cooperative, creative, disciplined, dutiful, energetic, faithful, gentle, independent, innovative, motivated, modest, objective, precise, punctual, precise, temperate等等。

在职考生或有过工作经验的考生还可以强调一下你的工作成绩，如：As the assistant to the General Manger of XXX Company, I have helped to negotiate a $200,000 deal for the corporation.
⑤爱好。

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. 除了强调你的学习的重视，同时也要避免给考官一种“书呆子”的感觉。

一般可以从体育、音乐、电影等方面来说，同时要简单说明这些爱好对你的积极意义(build my body, relax myself, open my mind…);注意避免提到那些可能引起考官反感的爱好，如：playing computer games，watching TV等。

⑥结束时可以用说：That’s all about me. / Well, that’s who I am. Thanks for your attention.
3、关于自己家庭、家乡、原来的学校的一些情况，尤其要注意原来学校的英文名称。

1) 家庭。

需要注意的是，考官并不是为了做人口调查而提出这个问题的，所以应该避免流水账似地介绍家庭成员;要尽量说明家人(尤其是父母)对你造成哪些方面(性格、职业规划、做事风格等)良好的影响。

可以参考以下句式结构：Just like my father, I am especially interested in history. / Though my father is an
ordinary worker, his responsible attitude towards work has a great influence on me.
2) 家乡。

正所谓“一方水土养育一方人”，考官实际上是想从你对家乡的介绍中找出有关你性格、志向的线索。

可以从历史、历史人物、著名景点、独特风俗或特产等方面来简单介绍，注意要表达热爱家乡的情感。

4、未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向)，人生规划(短期、长期)
5、意外情况——没听清，你应该怎样要求老师再说一遍(Pardon?/ Sorry, I can’t follow you. / Sorry, I lost you. Can you repeat that question again?);需要时间思考、整理思路的时候，不要出现沉默，可以用一些hmm, err, well等语气词;不会回答某些问题时，千万不要不懂装懂，可以明确地告诉老师你不知道(Sorry, but I have no idea about it。

)。
