Make sure they give reasons.ExtensionIn Part Two of the Speaking Test, students might need to give a one-minute presentation entitled, "What is important when choosing a job?". Put students in pairs and tell them to practise a similar presentation, taking turns to be the examiner or the candidate. Students can use some of the ideas listed in exercise 1.2) 2.1 Students listen out for five of the benefits and incentives in exercise 1. Note that this is a similar task to Part Two of the Listening Test.Answers1 a company car2 flexible working hours3 parental leave4 an impressive job title5 a pension2.1 Listening scriptSpeaker 1 It's great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends. I work for quite a relaxed company and they don't seem to mind how I use it for leisure.Speaker 2I thought it wouldn't change the way I worked after the first six months, but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon. But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half day if I want and then I might work later on other days - or I take work home, which I don't like doing, but it's the only way... Speaker 3 It's actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out. Mind you, after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!Speaker 4I've just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator. It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on. I'm not sure if I get my own office though.Speaker 5The problem for me is that I won't have enough to live on when I'm 60 and I can't afford a private plan. So I'll probably try and keep working for a few more years, and anyway, I heard the government is planning to raise the age of retirement...Is working for Xerox too good to be true?Reading3) Set students a time limit of about three minutes to answer the question. The aim is to find any benefits andincentives, but tell students not to read in too much detail at this stage.Answersopportunities for promotion, training and staff development, a pension*Note that the article also mentions a "reward and recognition scheme" which is another form of incentive.4) Now students read the article in much more detail to answer questions 1-5. Refer them to the Exam Success tip on reading the complete text before answering any questions.Answers1 B2 A3 C4 B5 CExpressions with takeV ocabulary5 As a quick lead-in, ask students to brainstorm collocations and expressions they can think of with take, eg take a day off, take a taxi, take a break, take off, etc.Answers1 take (Moloney's comments) with a pinch of salt2 take care of3 Take (Carole Palmer)4 took part in5 takes on6 takes seriouslyExtensionAsk students to write six new sentences using take from the exercise. They can relate the sentences to their own work or life, eg I'd take the news of a pay rise with a pinch of salt. (not so sure, doubtfully)Module 2.1 Company benefitsAsking questions about jobsSpeaking1) Tell students to imagine they were the journalist writing the article on Xerox on the previous page. They need to create the questions they asked during the interviews with Kim Moloney and Carole Palmer. The article offers clues as to the tense needed for each question. This exercise should be a review for students at this level and provides some basic questions for asking about a job.Answers1 How long have you been working for the company?2 When did you join (the company)?3 What was your first job?4 What are you responsible for?5 Where are you based?6 What would you like to do in the future?2) Students practice asking and answering the questions. If possible, try to pair students who haven't yet met in the class. Make sure the answers use the correct tense and give feedback.The PastGrammar3) Students match the three verb forms to the correct tense definitions.AnswersPast simple: startedPresent perfect: has movedPresent perfect continuous: has been workingRefer students to the Grammar reference on page 128. Suggest they also re-read the information on the present perfect and present perfect continuous in Module 1. Remind students that we tend not to use continuous forms with stative verbs. Also point out that verbs like work and live can often be used in the present perfect and present perfect continuous form with little change in meaning. The main change in emphasis is that the continuous form emphasises that the action is ongoing. You could also draw these timelines on the board to help clarify the meaning:Past simplePast NowX ↑Present perfectPastNowPresent perfect continuousPast Now4) Students underline the correct verb form. When checking answers, ask students to try and explain their choice.Answers1 began2 trademarked3 became4 has been5 has been working6 has been7 took partPhotocopiable activity 2.1See page 162.5) Students complete the letter of application with the verbs in different tenses.Answers1 have been working2 joined3 have had4 have been considering5 has expanded / has been expanding (we are unsure if the expansion has ended)6 completed7 have been studying8 has agreedA letter of applicationWriting6) Begin by asking students if they have ever applied for a job. Elicit the process, eg Where did you find out about the job? Did you have to write a letter or fill in a form? This task resembles the format for Part Two of the Writing Test with students being given a text and then some handwritten notes. Ask students to underline key information. Make sure they realise that they must include the handwritten notes and stay within the word limit. If you are short of time this could be set as homework. If it is done in class, students could work in pairs and draft the letter together.Possible answerDear Sir or Madam,I saw your advert for the post of Personal Assistant to Overseas Sales Manager in yesterday's newspaper and I would like to apply for the position.As you can see from my attached CV, I have been working for a travel agency for the last six months, which I have really enjoyed. Before that I worked as a receptionist and secretary for two years.I have a good knowledge of English as I completed a course at college and I am also fluent in Italian having lived in Rome for the summer in 2006. Please note that my current manager has agreed to write me a reference. I look forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfully(students' name)Module 2.2 Presenting your companyCompany termsVocabulary1) This activity checks that students know some key vocabulary before starting. The definitions are in the information files on pages 126 and 131, or students can check in their dictionaries.During the task, make sure students know how to pronounce all the words. It may be helpful to drill the word stress in these words:distribution, warehouse, headquarters, subsidiary, corporation, division.PresentationsListening2) 2.2 For this first listening, students only need to listen out for the words in exercise 1.Answersheadquarters corporation divisions2.2 Listening scriptExtract 1 Good morning and thanks for coming. Today I'd like to tell you about the world's largest document management company. With a turnover of nearly sixteen billion dollars the Xerox Corporation develops and markets innovative technologies with products and solutions that customers depend upon to get the best results for their business. In my brief presentation we'll begin by looking at some of the key figures behind the company's success and how the company is structured. Then I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world and finally I'd like to talk about some of the trends affecting out market and its future growth. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them at the end. So, here you can see, the turnover for last year was nearly sixteen billion dollars, with a final income of 978 million dollars. We operated from our headquarters in Rochester New York State in 160 countries with 55,000 employees, with over half of those in the USA. This next chart shows you how the corporation is splitinto four divisions. First of all there's Xerox Global Services...Extract 2And finally there's Xerox Innovation with five centres in the United States, Canada and Europe. Note that six percent of revenue was dedicated to research and development last year as the key part of our mission statement is, and I quote, "to help people find better ways to do great work." OK, let's move on to look at Xerox around the world in a little more detail. Take a look at this chart, which shows revenue by region. So about half our revenue is from the US market. Then Europe with over five billion dollars and the rest of the world with over two. One thing I'd like to point out is...Extract 3 Finally, how is the market for the document industry looking? Well it would be unrecognisable to the people who founded the orginal company in 1906 and even compared to the second half of the twentieth century. More and more offices are moving from black and white printing to color, and from paper documents to electronic documents. These are clearly the future opportunities and areas of growth in what is a total market worth an estimated 112 billion dollars...So that brings me to the end of my presentation. Thanks for listening. I hope it's been of interest. Are there any questions?3) Students can work in pairs and try to say the numbers. In order to check their answers, you could play the recording again so students can listen for pronunciation.Answerssixteen billionnine hundred and seventy-eight millionone hundred and sixtyfifty-five thousandhalffoursixfive billiontwo billionnineteen oh sixone hundred and twelve billion4) 2.2 Students listen again and write notes.

Then, play the recording at least once for students to match the expressions. Afterwards, students could check their answers by reading the listening script.Answers1 A2 F3 F4 D5 A6 C7 B8 B9 B 10 D11 D 12 A 13 B 14 C 15 FPronunciation6) 2.3 Students might find the idea that we pause so often in a presentation quite strange, but it is a standard technique with experienced presenters, especially when talking to larger audiences. Play the recording and students mark the pauses. With more confident groups, let them try to predict where the pauses will go before listening. It might help to point out that we tend to pause whenever there is a full stop or comma, after signal phrases (Today/Firstly/Next), to separate key information (eg the name of a company), or to emphasise information (as in the presentation about Xerox - the world's / largest / document / management / company). Students can check their answers in the listening script on page 135 where the pauses are indicated already.2.3/2.4 Listening scriptPresenter Good morning/ and thanks for coming. / Today/ I'd like to tell you about/ the world's/ largest/ document / management/ company./ With a turnover ofnearly sixteen billion dollars/ the Xerox Corporation develops/ and markets/ innovative technologies/ with products and solutions/ that customers depend upon to get the best results/ for their business./ In my brief presentation/ we'll begin by looking at/ some of the key figures/ behind the company's success/ and how the company is structured./ Then/ I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world/ and finally/ I'd like to talk about some of the trends/ affecting our market/ and its future growth./ If you have any questions,/ I'll be happy to answer them at the end.7) 2.4 This is designed as a drill and helps to focus students on intonation and stress, as well as pausing. It's a useful strategy that they can learn to apply to their own presentations. Drill it as a class, or students could also practice on their own at home.Giving a presentationSpeaking1) Ask students what kind of company they would like to run if they had the chance. Tell them this is their "dream" company and they are going to create it. Working alone, they make up facts and figures to fill in the first column of the table. The aim of the task is to give controlled practice of the expressions for presenting. Their ideas can be as far-fetched as they like.2) Refer students back to the expressions in exercise 5 on page 21. Students work in pairs and give their presentations. They may find it helpful to repeat their presentations at least twice so they could also change partners. The person listening takes notes and could also offer feedback and suggestions on possible improvements.ExtensionAfter students have give their presentations to partners, you could ask them to do the same again to the class. Also, students could follow the advice in the Learning Tip and record their presentation or transcribe it, marking pauses as they did in exercise 6 on page 21.3) Students prepare a full-length presentation about a company for their next lesson. This could be their own company or one they know well. Alternatively, students could research a company using information on its website and use this as the basis for a presentation.A memoWritingAsk students if they receive memos at work. What are they about?Who writes them? With pre-work learners, ask them if they can define what a memo is.4) Refer students to the Exam Success tip before they read the instructions.Answers1 All staff.2 Any staff with a company based pension scheme.3 There have been changes in the government pension laws.4 This will affect the current company based pension scheme.5 A presentation will be given by the Head of Finance on the changes and any effects.5) The next two exercises help students to write effective subject lines. Make sure students realise the importance of a subject line, which is to summarise the key content of the memo and help the reader to identify the purpose easily.Answerpresentation, changes, pension, schemeExtensionBefore students do exercise 6, ask them to apply questions 2-5 from exercise 4 to each of the memos in exercise 6. Note that all the memos are to "All staff".6) Students should begin by underlining any key words. They could compare these with a partner. Then they will need to choose the best three or four words to keep the subject lines brief.Possible answersMemo 1: Display of new factory plansMemo 2: Presentation on flexitime and home-workingMemo 3: Spanish classes7) This is very similar to the writing task in Part Two of the Writing Test. It could be done in class (perhaps with students in pairs) or set for homework.Possible answerTo: All StaffFrom: (name of student)Date: 1st OctoberSubject: Presentation of new insurance policyTo offer staff a better health insurance scheme, we are now working with a new insurance company. Please note therefore that a representative from this company will present the new staff policy on 9th October at 2pm in the conference room. All staff are welcome to attend.Module 2.3 Reading Test: Part fiveExam practice1) Students complete the table with words that are typically focused on in this part of the Reading Test. Answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsfor the because has whichto a so are whoof and do2) After students work in pairs, ask everyone to feed back to the class so ideas can be shared. It's also a good idea for students to use good dictionaries so they can check the word types beforehand.Possible answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsin an when have itat no article while does himby that3) Ask students to read the rubric carefully. They should always read the whole text first before trying to answer. You might want them to work in pairs and discuss possibilities. Draw their attention to the fact that many of the words will be those looked at in exercises 1 and 2, although other types of words may still be incorrect (see 10 in this text).Answers1 WILL2 OF3 WHO4 IN5 DO6 CORRECT7 TO 8 AND 9 CORRECT10 TAKE 11 FOR 12 CORRECTWriting Test: Part OneExam PracticeRefer students to the Exam Success tip. Students will be fairly familiar with this type of task now as they were introduced to the format on page 12 of Module 1 (exercise 3) and page 23 of Module 2 (exercise 7). For this reason, you can set exam conditions so students can work alone. Allow 10-15 minutes.Possible answerFrom: (student's name)Subject: Confirmation of seminar detailsDate: XXXTo: Assistant seminar organisersPlease note that I have booked Rooms 101 and 102 for the seminar next week. I'd be grateful if you would now confirm this booking and the final schedule for the event with security. Also note that Mr. Singh will be one hour late on the Monday morning.Exam self-checkRefer students to the advice in the Learning Tip. They should swap their work with a partner. It's helpful if students become used to commenting on and being supportive of each other's work.。

Note that all the memos are to "All staff".6) Students should begin by underlining any key words. They could compare these with a partner. Then they will need to choose the best three or four words to keep the subject lines brief.Possible answersMemo 1: Display of new factory plansMemo 2: Presentation on flexitime and home-working Memo 3: Spanish classes7) This is very similar to the writing task in Part Two of the Writing Test. It could be done in class (perhaps with students in pairs) or set for homework.Possible answerTo: All StaffFrom: (name of student)Date: 1st OctoberSubject: Presentation of new insurance policyTo offer staff a better health insurance scheme, we are now working with a new insurance company.

Answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsfor the because has whichto a so are whoof and do2) After students work in pairs, ask everyone to feed back to the class so ideas can be shared. It's also a good idea for students to use good dictionaries so they can check the word types beforehand.Possible answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsin an when have itat no article while does himby that3) Ask students to read the rubric carefully. They should always read the whole text first before trying to answer. You might want them to work in pairs and discuss possibilities.

Students will be fairly familiar with this type of task now as they were introduced to the format on page 12 of Module 1 (exercise 3) and page 23 of Module 2 (exercise 7). For this reason, you can set exam conditions so students can work alone. Allow 10-15 minutes.Possible answerFrom: (student's name)Subject: Confirmation of seminar detailsDate: XXXTo: Assistant seminar organisersPlease note that I have booked Rooms 101 and 102 for the seminar next week.

Do not use any letter more than once.SAP competes with ‘organic growth’How do you stay at the top of the heap in the business software game If you’re SAP, you do it through ‘organic growth’, not blockbusteracquisitions. That is the world from SAP CEO Henning Kagermann. (0) H The second-best strategy is acquisition: Kagermann said. ‘The best is the organic growth. We are not just doing the organic growth because we have no other choice.The comment is aimed squarely at rival Oracle Corp; which spent nearly $20 billion between 2004 and 2006 expanding its core database business into the SAP-dominated business applications market.(1) . ‘We are the market leader,’he said.’It’s on surprise that a distant number-two player wants to catch u.’SAP was set up in 1972 by five former IBM employees.(2) . Although it has a growing number of subsidiary, there are complements to its main activities, as Shai Agassi, president’s of the company’s Products and technology Group explain, at the same time having a direct dig at Oracle. The key diffidence between the two companies, he says, lies in Oracle’s tendency to ‘acquire an industry solution that is at the heart’. ‘when we do an acquisition, it’t at the edge of the solutions.(3) Oracle is buying half body parts and trying to make a body out of it.’In fact, Agassi expects SPA to grow faster than the rest of the industry this year- 15% to 17% in sales of new software licences-through internal innovation and small-scale acquisition.(4) .SAP used to concentrate on large business customers, but increasingly pursuing sales in the market, a strategy that began in 2000. (5) .The company excepts to finish development of the mySAP suite within the next four years, as well as its Enterprise Services Achitecture (ESA). ESA is basically a platform that will allow SAP to provide consistent business services around it, in much the same way as Microsoft has built applications around its successful operating systems.Among the company’s other goals is the development of hundreds of additional services for the mySAP suite, a so-called ‘ecosystems’ of supportive technologies.‘Business in the future is not business in an enterprise, ‘Kagermann says.’ It’s business in an ecosystem. (6) . We try to invite others with great ideas to innovate on the platform.’Exam Success A In fact, it expects sales to companies with fewer than 25,000make sure that the employees to account for nearly half SAP’s total softwarephrase you choose fits sales this year.grammatically and in B They recently announced they had purchased Virsa System,meaning, both with a privately held supplier of regulatory compliance software.the sentence before C You just can’t do everything yourselfif you want to remainand the sentence after.

新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版答案【篇一：新编剑桥商务英语(中级)课文翻译】1、we wanna hold your hand 我们愿与你携手创业带着浓厚的经营意识，加上一些进取精神，再来瞧瞧，哈!你拥有了一家连锁店!如果想自己开店、大展身手却又苦于缺乏经验，同时又不想在这个充满风险的昙花一现的独立法人世界中立足，那么开家连锁店不失为一个明智之举。
然而你必须明白自己将从事何种性质的经营，这是至关重要的。
特许经营就是由一方(授予特许经营者)授权允许另一方(加盟特许经营者)使用其商标或商号，并使用其一揽子经营理念。
当然如果你下定决心，白手起家地单干，你随时可以从总店分离出去，另立门户，发展特许经营店。
阿齐尔说，想要设立特许经营店的新公司数目与日俱增。
“加入这个队伍的人数多得令人难以置信，他们年龄越来越小，投资越来越少，他们获得回报后进行更大的风险投资。
”如果能够募集到起步经费，开设自己的特许经营店，就为冒险家一展身手提供了理想机会2、not sold on sales相比之下，销售则意味着挨家挨户推销，进行不期而至的拜访或拨打不期而至的电话。
不过这完全是误导人的印象。
在英国，从事销售职业的人数比营销人员多出大约20万人。
其中部分原因是那些投身销售工作的人们意识到销售工作根本不像传言中说的那么可怕。
要点解析：(1) shake off its unglamorous image摆脱其乏味的形象。
shake off摆脱，例如：shake off responsibility摆脱责任。
(2) associations with something rather dishonest本意为“和某种不诚实守信的因素紧紧相联”，在这个语境中可以翻译为“与无商不奸的概念紧紧相联”。
unglamorous单调的，乏味的，例如：unglamorous environment单调的环境。
(3) retain an air of glamour 显得很风光，retain an air of 带着??的样子，例如retain an air of cheerfulness保持一种欢喜的样子。
