怎樣備考BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)寫作

　　商務(wù)英語(yǔ)寫作是劍橋商務(wù)英語(yǔ)證書(BEC)中級(jí)考試的測(cè)試重點(diǎn)之一,是從事商務(wù)范疇人員與業(yè)務(wù)往來(lái)者交流的必備技能之一,是檢測(cè)學(xué)生寫作能力的重要方式之一.但模式化現(xiàn)象在商務(wù)報(bào)告寫作中表現(xiàn)得尤為明顯.

　　BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)系列: 怎樣備考BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)寫作

　　首先一點(diǎn)，我們必須牢記，歸根結(jié)底，BEC作文考察的還是考生英語(yǔ)表達(dá)能力。所以學(xué)生并不需要擔(dān)心自己缺乏這方面的實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)是否會(huì)影響考場(chǎng)發(fā)揮。(順便提一句，BEC高級(jí)對(duì)商務(wù)知識(shí)的要求大大提高，因此考生要在語(yǔ)言功底上苦下功夫。比如說(shuō)，寫商務(wù)報(bào)告的固定格式和用于必須牢記在心。)

　　與此同時(shí)，試題結(jié)合商務(wù)實(shí)戰(zhàn)的特點(diǎn)，要求文章必須包含特定信息點(diǎn)，或者是通過(guò)提供信息源，以及考題中的標(biāo)注，規(guī)定考生寫作的具體范圍和內(nèi)容。所以審題是關(guān)鍵，所有已知條件都必須充分利用，換言之，如果遺漏已知條件，就會(huì)因信息表達(dá)不完整而導(dǎo)致失分。以下是對(duì)我的一名學(xué)員習(xí)文進(jìn)行點(diǎn)評(píng)。

　　Date: 5 April 2009

　　Subject: Computer System

　　I want to tell you that our Intranet based on Linux will be closed next Wednesday at 10 o’clock.. I want to suggesting that you should save all your important documents. The computer system will be faster because we will use a newer SAP system. The new system is according to ISO900 and we will benefit from that.

　　作文解析：

　　BEC作文解答時(shí)，審題非常重要。題目中給出的要求就好比是解代數(shù)題中已知條件，都要用到。小作文處理的時(shí)候，大家不妨可以把每一個(gè)已知條件擴(kuò)寫成一句句句子，同時(shí)兼顧句子之間的連接。

　　通常學(xué)生犯的錯(cuò)誤是：

　　1. 漏掉題中給出的已知條件。

　　2. 給出的已知條件沒(méi)有表達(dá)清楚，用詞過(guò)于口語(yǔ)化，沒(méi)有條理，暴露出語(yǔ)言功底薄弱。

　　3. 切忌過(guò)于花哨的發(fā)揮，多說(shuō)多錯(cuò)。

　　這篇學(xué)生的作品是比較典型的案例。作者有一定的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)能力和工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，但文章中所暴露出來(lái)的不足也是明顯的。寫作不能從細(xì)處下筆，而是先要搭建框架。以這篇習(xí)文為例，作者在具體語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)的雕琢上可圈可點(diǎn)，比如說(shuō)第一個(gè)句子中based on引導(dǎo)的過(guò)去分詞做后置定語(yǔ)，但是顯而忘記了這篇文章的主要目的，那就是通知同事公司電腦系統(tǒng)要升級(jí)，但update這個(gè)詞始終沒(méi)有在文章中出現(xiàn)，因此讀下來(lái)以后，可能同事還不是非常清楚，為什么computer system will be closed down, 盡管后面提到了improvement，總讓人覺(jué)得有些如鯁在咽，言之不盡;因此，思路不清晰是這篇習(xí)文最大的問(wèn)題。

　　此外，本文還有以下一些問(wèn)題：

　　1. 有些用詞過(guò)于口語(yǔ)化，比如說(shuō)，文章開(kāi)頭, I want to tell you, 文中you should save這樣的用語(yǔ);

　　2. 建議Linux, 將SAP, ISO900等唬人術(shù)語(yǔ)統(tǒng)統(tǒng)除去，誠(chéng)然BEC涉及到基本的商務(wù)知識(shí)，但是真正考核的還是語(yǔ)言功底，語(yǔ)用能力;商務(wù)知識(shí)好比是蓋澆飯里面的小炒而已。

　　3.里面還有一個(gè)明顯的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，I want to suggesting….，當(dāng)然閱卷者不會(huì)刻意去搜尋語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，而是綜合考量語(yǔ)法得分，但由于小作文篇幅較短，那么這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤就顯得非常明顯。

　　范文：

　　Please be informed that our computer system will be closed next Wednesday at 12 o'clock for system upgrade. The closure will last for at least two hours. Make sure that you have saved all your documents before that time. The whole system will run on a new server, much faster than the current one.

　　The purpose of this report is to explain why we need more staff in our department.We compare the number of staff in our department between 2001 and 2003, it only increased five staff.
