You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. 问题:1. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT

33、WHEN? SELECTING AN EMPLOYEE TO PROMOTE? WORKING SENIORITY PERSONAL QUALITIES PERFORMANCE B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN? ARRAGING A FACTORY TOUR BRIEF INTRODUCTION ROUTE DESIGN Q 答案:A: I think three things are important when selecting the most qualified applicant for a higher position. The first thing to

34、consider is length of service. Setting a minimum of working seniority of the candidates will avoid the risk of promoting a wrong person. Secondly we need to take into account the personal qualities of the candidates. We want someone whose personal qualities can match the requirements of a particular

35、 position. Finally, we need to consider the performance of the candidates. If theyre good at what they did in their prior position, sometimes they are able to take up more responsibilities.B: Factory tour is a good opportunity for the clients to know more about the manufacturer. When arranging a fac

36、tory tour, I think three things are important. The first one is giving a brief introduction before the tour, which may help the clients to have a general impression of the factory history, plant layout and production scale. And the tour route must be carefully designed so as to show the clients what

37、 they are really interested in and what the factory is good at in a limited time. Last but not least, a factory tour should leave enough time for the clients to ask questions and detail answers may help to enhance the tour impression.PART 2 In this part of the test the examiner reads out a scenario

38、and gives you some prompt material in the form of pictures or words. You have 30 seconds to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below, and then about two minutes to discuss the scenario with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic. 问题:1. For

39、 2 or 3 candidates Scenario Im going to describe a situation. Your department has done well in the first half year and the manager wants to reward all the members.
