PreliminaryTheyarethepracticalexaminationsthatfocusesonEnglishinbusiness-relatedsituations.剑桥商务英语证书（简称BEC）考试，由英国剑桥大学与国家教育部考试中心合作举办。BEC以其高度的实用性和权威性，已成为一个全球化的考试。与TOEFL、GRE、GMAT以及我国目前举办的大学英语四、六级考试不同，BEC考试特别注重考生运用英语在商务环境中进行交际的能力，对考生在一般工作环境下和商务活动中使用英语的能力从听、说、读、写四个方面进行全面考察，对合格者提供由英国剑桥大学考试委员会颁发的标准统一的成绩证书。该证书极具权威性，在英联邦各国及欧洲大多数国家的商业企业部门作为考核英语能力证明的首选证书，也是在所有举办该项考试的国家和地区求职的‘通行证’。目前已经推广到亚洲、欧洲、南美洲、大洋洲的60多个国家，在全球商业界得到广泛的认可，在中国各涉外经济部门以及在华投资的跨国公司中更是备受青睐。目前我国已有数百家外资企业把BEC证书作为衡量应聘人员英语水平的唯一标准。FourComponentsofBECReading 25%Writing 25%Listening 25%Speaking 25%WhatdoesBECtest?InternationalbusinesscontextCompetenceinEnglishlanguagethatisusefulforabusinesscareerabilitytocommunicateforessentialbusinessneedsNOTknowledgeofbusinessbusinesscontext•thevocabulary•thetypesoftextsselected•thesituationpresentedinthetasksTopicAreasPersonalidentificationTheoffice,generalbusinessenvironmentandroutineEntertainmentofclients,freetime,relationshipwithcolleaguesandclientsTravelandconferencemeetingsUsingthetelephoneHealth&safetyTopicAreasBuyingandsellingCompanystructures,systems,processesProductsandservicesResultsandachievementsBusinessissuesOthertopicareasFunctions/Communicativetasks
