本项考试的时间:7分钟左右

本项考试的形式:每个考生得到相同的文字资料,按照要求对需要解决的问题进行讨论,并最终得出结果。考生在进行考试前有30秒时间阅读文字材料,并且在考试过程中可以参考材料。

本项考试内容:本项考试为考生模拟了商业工作的真实环境,包括商业活动中任何可以进行双向交流的场合。但仍然处于以下范围中:广告、求职、通信联系、商业交流、经营者与顾客的关系、财政、会计、生产管理、生产安全、员工健康、员工管理、员工招聘、 员工培训、市场、销售、货物运输、技术等等。

本项考试的目的是:考官考察考生运用英语进行交流的能力。包括:正确的组织和进行对话的能力;对问题做出正确的回应和分析的能力;做出判断的能力。

本项考试从难度上来说居于口语三项考试之首。

考生在本项考试中必须做到:

1.仔细阅读本项考试文字材料,明确所要达到的目的。(讨论什么;决定什么)

2.在讨论的开头迅速对所讨论的话题的背景进行简单介绍。

实用技巧:将文字材料中的字句进行简化并表达出来。(见范例)

3.两名考生讨论和解决的问题进行。

实用步骤1:一问一答式的讨论(范例1)

A提问(一句话)——B回答(一句话),阐述理由(两句话),A附和(一句话),阐述理由(两句话)——一B提问(一句话)——A回答(一句话),阐述理由(两句话),B附和(一句话),阐述理由(两句话).——A或B定下决定(一句话)——B或A支持决定(一句话)。

这种方法思路清晰明确,但切忌回答过于简单。

实用步骤2:各自阐述观点的讨论(范例2)

A阐述观点(一句话)和理由(两句话)——B对A的观点表态(一句话),阐述自己的观点并阐述理由(两句话)——双方讨论,深入阐述本人观点(A,B各两句话)——定下决定(A,B各一句话)。

这种方法适合对问题的辩论。但考生需注意彼此的交流。

实用技巧(见范例):

A.提问者将文字材料中规定讨论的部分(通常特殊疑问句)改为一般疑问句并进行表述。

B.使用第一人称I或We进行表述,自然进入虚拟的工作环境中。

C.使用工作场合中常用的套话使得交流更加自然。例如:Shall we get down to our business?

D.在讨论中表达同意时所用的句型:I think so. / You are right. /That’s quite true. /Definitely. /I have the same view. /I share your concern. /That’s a good point. / No doubt about it.

E. 在讨论中表达不同意时所用的句型:That’s true but…. Yes I know but…. I understand but…. I don’t think that I agree with you. I don’t think so. I can’t agree with you. I have some difficulty with your view.
