What a lovely place Xerox is to work! Kim Moloney, a client services executive, can’t say enough nice things about her employer. ‘It’s a very special environment,’ she says, ‘People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.’

Thanks for listening.Are there any questions?Module 2.1 Company benefitsBenefits and incentivesV ocabulary1) Ask students to work alone as they rank the ten items and then compare and discuss in pairs. 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. Answers16,000,000,000 turnover978,000,000,000 final income160 countries55,000 employeeshalf of 55,000 in the USA4 divisions6% of revenue dedicated to research and development 5,000,000,000 dollars revenue in Europe (over) 2,000,000,000 dollars rest of world revenue 1906 company founded 112,000,000,000 total marketPhotocopiabel activity 2.2See page 163.5) 2.2 Give students time to study the flowchart and read the expressions. 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.。

There are two reasons for the increase. First of all, we launched a newsletter for subscribers. Secondly in May, we ran a competition which was very popular.With regard to costs, banners have cost 3,200 euros a month but very few people seem to visit the website as a result of these.On the other hand, the newsletter doesn't cost anything (other than my time) but has helped to Increase the number of visitors.RecommendationsIn order to Increase the number of visitors, I would recommend that we continue with the newsletter and run more competitions and quizzes. I also propose that we stop using banners and put more resources into setting up links with other sites to increase the traffic.Module 5 P53Minutes of the meeting to discuss plans for Seattle conference Participants: Robert Samuelson (Chair), Dahlia Zille, Hugo Sata.Date: 27th NovemberRS opened the meeting and suggested that someone should arrive two days early to set up.

DZ agreed to arrive on the 7th.DZ confirmed that she had already booked a hotel and would book the flights.RS wanted to discuss the issue of sponsoring an event for delegates.

It was agreed that RS would make new price lists and include some offers.Module 6 P63 An emailDear [name]Would you please send me details of the next health and safety training event?

However, with regard to your additional requirements please note that you would have to rent two separate spaces of 50 square meters and the warehouse has limited parking for five cars only and limited access.As an alternative, you might wish to consider a new storage option called Circular Storage that has recently become available to Spacesaver. While it is a little further from the centre of the city than W1, it has the following features:- easy access for lorries and adequate parking for twenty- security with CCTV- space availability of 100 square meters (and more if required)Please also note that it would be two-thirds the price of W1, and the 10% discount for a two-year booking would still apply. A visit to these premises can be arranged, although I would like to suggest a prompt decision on this second option.I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.Yours sincerelyModule 8 P83 A letter of complaintDear Sir or Madam,Following my recent experience of your hotel, I have decided to send you some feedback in the hope that you can improve your services.I arrived at reception at 6pm on 7th November to find there was no record of my booking. As a result of this I waited 45 minutes. The following day, my two clients and I were delayed due to the meeting room being double-booked. Eventually we were given another smaller room. Finally, towels were not changed overnight. Room service explained that this was because of the hotel's “environmentally-friendly” policy. While I agree with the sentiment of this policy, I do not think that changing at least one towel is unreasonable.Despite having been very satisfied with your services in the past I may have to reconsider using your hotel in the future. I would be grateful to hear any comments you have to make in writing.Yours faithfullyModule 9 P93Dear Mr Kay,Further to your message regarding next week's brand development meeting, I can confirm that I will be able to attend. Please also find attached ScentAir's latest proposal, which we can discuss in more detail next week.I look forward to seeing you.Best regardsJohn TaylorModule 9 P95Report on findings from focus group researchIntroductionThe aim of this report is to make recommendations based on findings from ten focus groups.FindingsFirstly, nearly three-quarters of responses to the cherry flavour were very positive with only 7% being neither positive nor negative about the product. On the other hand, about two-thirds said they disliked the strawberry flavour because of the sugar and artificial taste.Finally, with regard to the normal and diet versions, approximately 20% more people preferred the diet cherry version and nearly three times as many preferred the diet strawberry version.RecommendationsBased on these findings, I would recommend that the company launches two types of cherry flavor drink (normal and diet). While I wouldn't suggesta normal strawberry version, the company could consider producing a diet version which was clearly more popular.Module 10 P103 An emailSubject: Further changes to schedule for LJ tour.Further to my previous email, I can confirm that tickets need to be printed by January 31st. Please also note that the client has increased the merchandising budget in order to include hats and scarves. I appreciate your patience with these changes to the schedule.Module 11 P113Dear Mr Keating,In response to your enquiry about Sungreen Power, the company seems to be performing well.One thing to consider is their new sales agreement with Mainline Energy, worth 190 million euros. This should help their share price which recently halved. On the one hand this was caused by a shortage of silicon, but on the other hand Sungreen specialize in technology which requires less silicon.So despite the fall, I would still suggest you consider investing. The fact that solar power costs have continuously fallen since the early nineties and look set to equal normal energy costs in the next few year makes this a good investment opportunity.Feel free to call me to discuss any further queries you might have.Best regardsModule 12 P123Dear Editor,Contrary to recent suggestions that the Everyman Theatre may be closing, we are pleased to announce the opening of our new cafe on May 1st. We are celebrating this event with a party for local people at 7pm. After that, the cafe will be open during the day for lunchtime shoppers as well as in the evenings for theatre audiences. We also intend to hold regular cabaret nights in the café.Money for the cafe was raised by 'Friends of the Everyman' and this also helped pay for the Internet access facilities. Two days after the cafe opening, the musical 'Guys and Dolls' will start on May 3rd in the main theatre, starring well-known TV actor Rene Travis.Please find enclosed designs for the new cafe.Yo urs sincerely。

新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版答案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。

Listening script
Speaker 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 2 I 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!

Moloney is based at the head office in Uxbridge. „It‟s great in terms of working environment,‟ she says. „We‟ve jus got a new provider in the canteen and … we have brainstorming rooms and breakout areas.‟ Much of Moloney‟s role is visiting clients, so she doesn‟t have a permanent desk at head office. „I‟m a hot-desker, which is good because you get to sit with different people in the hot-desk areas. And you‟re given a place to store your things.‟ Head office staff numbers between 1,200 and 1,500 people, Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets, research and development and manufacturing, means that the opportunities at the company vary from service engineers to sales roles and consultants.

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 4 I’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 5 The problem for me is that I won’t have enough to live in 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…2.2 Presentations (page 20)Extract 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 our market and it s 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 v 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 split into four divisions.First of all,there’s Xerox Global Services…Extract 2 And finally there’s Xerox Innovation with five centres in the United States,Canada and Europe.Note that six percent of revenue was dedicated to researchand 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 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 original 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 colour 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?2.3 Pausing (page 21)Presenter 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 our market/and its future growth./If you have any questions,/I’ll be happy to answer them at the end./2.4 Intonation and stress (page 21)Presenter 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 our market/and its future growth./If you have any questions,/I’ll be happy to answer them at the end.Module 33.1 advice on franchisesT= Trainer M=ManT So. That’s the end of my talk. Are there any question? Yes?M Thanks for your talk. It was very interes ting. I’ve been thinking of starting my own business and I wondered what you thought of franchises.T That’s a good question. In general it’s important when you are thinking of becoming a franchisee to someone who likes to follow rules and have support from others. Entrepreneurs tend to be people who don’t like following tried and tested routes, so if you don’t like doing what other people want, then franchising isn’t for you.Secondly, I’d say make sure that the brand is strong and that it’s something you are interested in. For example, making and selling pizzas might be profitable but do you want to be doing it for the next five years? I also think you need to like hard work. People shouldn’t think that running a franchise is less work that being a sole trader.Finally, there’s the money. You still need start-up capital. This can be as low as five thousand pounds and as high as two hundred and thirty thousand pounds for a well-known brand like Domino’s Pizza…3.2 Planning a seminarRecorded message Thank you for calling Business Circle Conferencing. Please state your name and address. Then give the name of the event you’d like information on and we will send it to you immediately. Please speak after the tone.Ray Hello. This is Mr Ray Naunton. That’s N-A-U-N-T-O-N. I’m coming to the event next week called ‘Launching your business online’ and so you’ve already got my details. Anyway ,the reason I’m calling is that I won’t be able to arrive in time for registration and the buffet on the Sunday evening. My train doesn’t arrive until nine fifteen, so I’m going to take a taxi straight to the hotel. So I probably won’t get to the training centre until Monday morning. I hope that’s OK. Anyway it’s just to confirm that I will be there for the course. Oh, and c ould someone send me the schedule for the two days? You can email it to me at r dot naunton at worldsyouroyster dot com. Worldsyouroyster is all one word. That’s w-o-r-l-d-s-y-o-u-r-o-y-s-t-e-r. And all in lower case. Thank you.3.3 Planning a seminarKirsten Hello, Kirsten speakingVanessa Hi, Kirsten. It’s Vanessa. I’m just calling to check details for the group on Sunday evening.Kirsten Sure. Security are opening the room at three.

According to my records, we have twelve. Is that right?Kirsten Yes. Everyone has confirmed. Oh, that reminds me. We’ve had a mess age from Mr Naunton to say he won’t be here until after nine, so he’s checking straight into the hotel. There’s no point in inviting him to come after then, is there? I mean, I assume that we’ll have finished by nine.Vanessa By seven, I hope. Well, I ho pe they’ll have gone by then! If they want to get to know each other any longer, they can use the hotel bar.Kirsten Fine. I think that’s everything, then. Do you need me to be there?Vanessa No. There’s no point in both of us interrupting our weekend. It doesn’t need two of us.Kirsten Great. See you on Monday. Bye.Vanessa Bye.3.4 Leaving messageCall 1Hi, Vanessa. It’s Ralph again. Sorry, I forgot to ask earlier if you can send me details of next month’s seminars.

One way would be to write the advertisement onto ten or a hundred or thousand pieces of paper and drop them from the sky over your town or city. Someone on the ground might pick one up and read it. Maybe two or three people. On the other hand the wind might blow them away.Now imagine doing the same thing but this time throwing them into the air with adverts for every other product or service in the world. You probably wouldn’t do it, would you? Well, unfortunately, that’s what it’s like to advertise on the Internet.Trying to make your product, service or website known to the rest of Internet community can be very, very frustrating. Not only making it known, but getting visitors to actually visit the site can seem impossible. But there are ways to overcome the impossible when advertising on the Internet, as long as you follow three rules.So, rule number one. The first is to remember that people use search engines. So whenever someone types in a keyword linked to your business, your site needs to appear in the top 50 or so listings in all of the major search engines. Any lower and no one will ever find you.My second rule is that it’s a good idea to spend some useful time and effort on getting your links on other sites. This is an excellent, though very time-consuming way to increase visitors. You can do this by sharing links with other companies, so they have a link on your site and you put one on theirs. Or perhaps through a site review which recommends your products. Also remember that the more links you have elsewhere, the more likely people are to find you through a search engine.My third trip is never to pay for advertising on the web. I think that unless you have a very good reason, it’s a waste of money. With so many ways to get free advertising, I’ve found very little reason to pay for things like banners to promote my site.So those are my three starting points for anyone thinking of web advertising. Before we finish don’t forget that a memorable domain name that people can easily type will help. Email campaigns can work and are an easy w ay to get traffic to the site, though it doesn’t last long. What might be better is to have a monthly newsletter, which people sign up for. I’ve found this to be very effective and more positive than sending spam. Then there are contest with prizes or anything free – maybe some software or cool graphics.Once you’ve got people visiting the site, keep statistics on how may people visit per day and how often people return to the site. In other words, find out who they are. How old they are. Where they come from. What they like doing in their free time. You can get this kind of information by asking them to subscribe to your newsletter, for example …4.2 A bad delegatorManager Hi, Harry. Sorry to bother you but I’m so busy. Could you help me? I know you’re busy too, but I have a meeting with the managing director tomorrow and I don’t have time to do the schedules for next week. I know you did them last time I was off sick, so I thought you could do them again. I don’t want to give you anything too difficult, do I? so if I give you this … sorry , I haven’t had time to sort through it but you’ll work it out. Ok, great. Sorry, must go. If you have any questions … err, ask Mary. I think she did the schedules last time I was on holiday so she can help too. Fine. Bye!4.3 Sentence stressCan I borrow your expertise in something?I’ve asked you because …Let me know how it’s going once a week, please.I’ll need a report on this with your findings and your recommendations.So, let’s go through this one more time to check it’s clear.One thing you might want to think about is …You’ve done a great job on this!I’ve got a job here that will really interest you …I’d like you to be in charge of all of it.What are you going to do?Feel free to call me if you have any questions.Can you give this priority because they need it as soon as possible?The deadline for this is next Thursday.Module 55.1 An interview with an art consultant(1)I I’d like to begin by asking you to imagine that I’ve been asked to find some art for my company’s offices .Where would I started ?AC Well,the first stage in selecting art is normally for one of our art consultants to visit you on site to assess the location,the size of the area and the style of the building ,and so on.I How much difference does it make where I actually put the paintings?AC A great deal.Art needs to be placed taking into account the function of a space.Different types of art are appropriate for different areas.Once we have an idea about what kind of work it is you do and how the space is used,then we begin to find artworks and present a selection of art for your business and building .We can do this on-site or you can visit our galleries.The whole thing is a two-way collaborative process.I So you already have the painting?AC Yes,or we can ask an artist to create works for your specific space.In this case,the client has some input but it’s important to remember when choosing workplace art that art is not your brand .If you ask the artist to emphasise your company image in some way,you’ll just end up with bad art.Either way ,you have an art consultant who oversees and project manages the production of any commissioned artwork,and makes sure it’s completed and installed on time and within budget.And that also includes fitting appropriate lighting and any other maintenance and fitting…\5.2 An interview with an art consultant(2)I One thing I don’t understand is how a company ever decides what to choose .I mean ,art is such a personal thing .How does anyone ever agree?AC Well,that’s true.I think it’s important that you don’t set up committees or anything .If you have a workforce of 300 and you ask everyone ,you’ll get 300 different answers.No,you need to keep it small.Just one or two people .But choosing art for your offices isn’t necessarily about choosing what the individual likes.The real benefits for a business are that the artwork gives a positive image to clients.I So what’s a typical type of art?AC It’s so varied but in general I suggest something strong and bold.If it’s just lightcolours that no one can really see,it’s pointless.You need art which shows your clients you have good taste and that you are successful.I I often go into buildings and look at modern art and think,’What is that?It isn’t of anything.No people .Nothing .’Why do so many companies choose it?AC There are a number of reasons ,other than the fact that the managing director might like it.You don’t want art that will offend anyone .So a painting of a man and a woman with no clothes on is a bad idea .Similiarly,a landscape or a painting of the countryside is the sort of thing you have in your living room at home and doesn’t look very corporate .Also the art needs to say what kind of company you are. Most companies want to give clients the message that says we’re modern and we’re planning for the future .A classical painting says we’re old and traditional .A painting by a young ,modern painter gives a more positive image .And remember ,it doesn’t have to be a painting .A sculpture in the reception area can be very effective ,for example.I Finally,all this must be very expensive .How does a company justify thousands of pounds on this kind of thing?AC It can be expensive but of course many people rent works from us-as little as ten pounds a week.It also means that if you change your mind after a year or so,it’s easy to change the piece .I That sounds like a good idea..5.3 Some opinions on artSpeaker 1 But what is it? Is that a head?Or is it an animal? I can’t see how that is art.I mean,it doesn’t look like anything real.Speaker 2 I agree with you that this is nice. It reminds me of being in a caféin somewhere like Paris but if you put it here no one will see it.It isn’t bold enough for this area.No ,we need something else.Speaker 3 This is beautiful but perhaps it would look better in someone’s office.It’s the sort of painting to help you relax.Speaker 4 Well,I’m not really the right person to ask . I never go to art galleries but this looks like what you see in cathedrals .It doesn’t tell you what our company is about.When people come into reception,they’ll think it’s a Roman temple ,not a hi-tech business.Let’s have something up-to-date.Speaker 5 This is quite good for reception because it shows a man thinking ,which is quite a good image for our company .It says to the visitor that this is a company with ideas .That we’re constantly considerating the future…5.4 Report on a meetingRS OK.Point one is about the conference,It starts on the 8th but I think someone should go out early on the 6th.What do you think ,Hugo?HS Sorry,but I did that last year and sat around for a day .There was a really nothing to do.I think if we go early it shouldn’t be until the 7th.It really isn’t worth it.RS OK,that’s fine ,Do you agree,Dahlia ?DZ Sure .Do you want me to go?。

(完整word版)剑桥商务英语(BEC)中级第二、三、四辑口语真题范例
第二辑Test 1Topic A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Entertaining clients●Types of activities●Cost[思路点拨]【词汇＆短语】促销赠品Complimentary presents 迎宾室Hospitality room招待费Entertainment allowance 定制Customize针对个人Personalize 有目的的Purposeful商业目的Business objectives 客户需求Customer demand 包间Compartment 舒适的Cozy【句型点击】●间歇、停顿How shall I put it? 怎么说呢？Well, what I trying to say is…….. 我想说的是……..I’d like to begin by……●个人想法In my opinion, I’d say that…..The point is that…….Well, we should….【参考范例】Entertaining clients is not an easy job and should be handling appropriately and enjoyably. It contains more than just a wonderful meal, a sightseeing tour or a shopping trip. Good hospitality events can impress clients in a unique manner in and outside of the office.When entertaining clients, we should decide the types of activities according to their interest and favorites. Moreover, these activities should help us achieve our business objectives, for example, we can have an intimate discussion about business with our clients during a meal in a cozy compartment where both where both sides tend to be more relaxed. In addition, we have to mix business with pleasure effectively so our clients won’t feel that we are too purposeful.Cost is anther important factor when designing activities for clients. Higher expenses don’t necessarily to greater satisfaction, and in some cases, the clients will be overwhelmed with our kindness. Therefore, when entertaining clients, sincerity appears to be more important, upon which a long and a steady business relationship is based.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Choosing retail premises to rent●Location●Length of contract【词汇&短语】房东landlord 利润空间profit margin租户tenant 房屋结构building structure可持续发展sustainable development 合同到期exploration of contract繁荣boom prosperity 续签合同renew the contract租金rent 押金deposit【句型点击】●观点阐述Well, it seems to me that…….That’s true, but on the other hand…..●追加观点That’s just what/all I was thinking…..Well, the point I’m trying to make it that……Another thing I want to mention is……【参考范例】When aiming to choose retail premises, you should always put the location on the top of your list. An ideal retail premises should be situated in the downtown district or a big residential area where the sources of the customers is guaranteed, in China, A lot of businessman believe in Fengshui and they think a good location is vital to the success of business.Besides, the length of contract is also an important factor in choosing retailpremises because the retailer need time to develop market and customers. A steady and uninterrupted business environment is most desired, and a long-term contract will ensure the retailer’s sustainable development.What’s more, rent and means of payment should never be overlooked, retailers in general have a big cash flow, therefore, a reasonable rent and flexible means of payment are good for their capital turnover. A cooperative landlord is preferred and necessary for a win-win situation.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Deciding on packaging for products●Image●Production process【词汇&短语】包装材料wrapper，packaging material 不可再生资源non-renewable resources包装设计package design 有利环境的environmental-friendly顾客的青睐customer favor 肤浅的，表明的superficial【句型点击】●自然过渡How shall I put it? 怎么说呢？Actually…..That’s just how I see it …..●个人观点Personally, I think…..Frankly, I think….【参考范例】Packing of products concerns the fate of products because it arouses people’s desire for purchase. When deciding on packaging for products, we should take several things into consideration.First of all, the image catches the eye of potential customers, people are sometimes skin deep when surrounded by a variety of products, their decisions are simply based upon the packaging, therefore a thoughtful design in color, shape and packaging materials is crucial in winning customer’s favor.On the other hand, the cost of packaging should be carefully dealt with because it is contained in the prices of the products. Increased price will make the products less competitive in a buyer’s market. After all, in comparison with packaging, people are more sensitive to price.Last but not least, our resources are limited and some are even non-renewable. Once the products are opened up, the wrapper are useless, so it is expected that designers can develop further uses of packaging materials or at least make them environmental-friendly.Test 2Topic A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Selecting staff for promotion●Attitude to work●Current performance【词汇&短语】空缺职位vacancy 人事部personnel行政管理部administration 公关public relations总部head office 工资wages and salaries管理技能managerial skill 职业前景career prospect人力资源部human resources 团队协作teamwork【句型点击】●常用开始语Thank you for your questionThe answer is…Let me start with….In my viewIt is very likely that….●表达观点常用句What I am thinking is….Let me make my point very clear.It is crystal clear that…..There is no doubt that…..I am into the first opinion..【句型点击】When selecting staff for promotion, several factors should be taken into consideration, to begin with, the attitude to the work is one of the most fundamental elements. I believe attitude is everything. It is not uncommon to findworkers who have great talents but are reluctant to make full contribution in their position, the point is, you have to love what you are doing and you have to try your utmost and reserve no effort to do it.Secondly, current performance is also very important, because it is obvious that attitude and effort have to be measured in a certain way so that you can know everyone’s capability.Thirdly, you can’t ignore career potential and adaptability, almost in every company, we can find employees who are excellent individuals but fail to cooperate in a team, these elements are all very essential in one’s career. Admittedly, it is not very likely to find all of them in one person, and then you have to consider about the specific position and grant priority to one of them.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Considering a career change●Further study or training●Opportunities for future promotion【词汇&短语】实际工资real wages 合并merger最终目标ultimate goal 个人收入personal income坏的影响adverse effect 工资价格螺旋上升wage-price spiral精明的讨价还价交易horse-trading 无形资产intangible assets资格qualification 投资回报return on investment【句型点击】●更倾向于某一个选项I would take …….. as my priority 我会把……..作为我的首选项。
