When is the BEC exam? What are the processes?

BEC is introduced below, and I will add some of my own experiences.

There is no necessary relationship between cet 6 and bec. Let's just say that from a certain point of view, there will be some connections.

I hope you can understand the scores I have to read after CET-6. .

Details: bec invigilation varies from place to place, and even the collocation methods of oral partners in different test sites in the same city will be different.

In addition, the registration of some popular test sites in bec is very tense every year. If you want to take the exam, you must pay attention to this information. Many remedial classes in bec have agents to take the exam. You can entrust an agent to help you sign up.

Pay attention to the integration of business knowledge and English. I don't like any major suggested by the remedial class.

Everything is done around the new oriental, and it doesn't feel good. . The class I signed up for only does bec. My teacher is the examiner of bec and gave us the scope of bec's oral English. . Not exactly the same, but basically a little different. I also have a range of papers+listening+speaking. I can sell them to you if I want to. Haha ~bec's remedial classes are not cheap. .

I'll contact you if you want to leave a message ~

Introduction to BEC

BEC is called business English certificate in English.

The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education cooperated with the Examination Committee of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom to hold the Business English Certificate Examination from 1993. This series of exams is a proficiency test. According to the actual needs of business work, the ability of candidates to use English in business and general living environment is comprehensively investigated from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Those who pass the examination will receive the unified standard certificate issued by the examination Committee of Cambridge University.

Business English is a common language used in the working environment, which is suitable for the daily official business and business activities of government agencies, institutions, enterprises, trading companies and other institutions. Due to the authority of the issuing authority, the certificate has been recognized by commercial enterprises in Britain, Commonwealth countries and most European countries, and it is the first choice to confirm the English level of certificate holders. It is also a "passport" for job hunting in all countries and regions where exams are held. Now, the role of certificate is not limited to job hunting, but extended to prove the language ability to enter undergraduate study.

BEC exam tips

Generally speaking, the rigor and standardization of overseas examinations have rules to follow. Business English writing encourages people to pay attention to format, adopt cliches and imitate excellent model essays. Therefore, in a short time, you can still improve your writing style. For example, you can read more good model essays and recite more typical sentence patterns. Advanced exam writing mainly tests the writing of business letters, investigation reports and proposals, which is one of three choices. I suggest that you'd better find some relevant model essays in the examination book designated by the Cambridge University Examination Committee, and you will certainly gain something. When applying for the exam, a little red book will be issued, and the model essay on it is very helpful for the exam. Spoken English also has cliches and many classic sentence patterns, so I won't repeat them here.
