BEC高级写作语言提升必备攻

1、对众多的中国考生来说，备考 BEC高级商务英语考试的难度不言而喻，而写作部分可以说是考生面临的最大挑战。 这一方面是由于中国教育不太注重研究英语的语言模式， 另一方面 也由于考生自身缺乏商业语料素材的积累。 那么，考生如何才能缔造 BEC高级写作的 高分 奇迹呢？今天笔者主要介绍两种方法：英语语言模式的拆分与模仿和英语表达的 拿来主 义”，希望能够帮助考生提升 BEC写作水平。语言模式的拆分与模仿所谓 语言模式的拆分与模仿”，是指在阅读地道的英文文章时，将其中的语言模式进行拆分，统计出写作的 技术参数”，然后模仿着来写作。这种方法既有利于提高写作水平，同 时也有利于阅读、听力和口语的同步提升。

2、 下面我们就以一段文字为例，来具体分析如何拆分和模仿语言模式。例文： We are seeking (1) a brilliantly organized and mature department secretary(2)to act as (3) PA to the Head of Marketing and provide (3) administrative support to(4)three other busy department heads. The successful applicant must have strong secretarial skills and kn

3、owledge (5) of up-to-date information technology. A good sense of humor( 6)and excellent communications skills (6) are essential. ( BEC 考试模拟题阅读材料)下面我们就对这段话的语言模式进行逐一分析：(1)现在进行时：一般表示现在或现阶段正在进行的动作；如果表示将来，可以用beto do 结构，即 we are to seek；(2)定语前置的连用模式：副词(brilliantly ) +形容词并列结构(organized and mature)+名词(depa

4、rtment)修饰secretary,构成定语前置的连用模式；(3)目的模式：动作 1 (to act as) +并列动作2 (provide)(4)后置介词限定：to(5)名词并列结构：skill的定语全部前置，而 knowledge的定语全部后置；名词 skill 和knowledge构成并列结构；(6)语序：名词 humor和skill并列作主语，注意 sense of humor的语序；分析：这段例文是地道的商务英语表达，文中并没有长难句、复杂的语法点或是艰深晦涩的专业商务词汇。而上述拆分出来的语言模式，也都是考生非常熟悉的英语表达，并无理解上的难度。但问题是，如果考生用自己的语言来表

5、达相同的内容，能否像例文一样表达得准确、清晰、地道呢？可能大部分考生都无法做到这一点。这就要求考生在平时要多模仿地道的商务英语材料进行写作，学习其使用的语言模式。下面笔者就以一则产品技术解决技术方案”供应商的招标广告为例，来示范如何模仿例文的语言模式进行写作。模仿：The company is hunting a perfectly operated and reputable technology supplier to be a competitive partner to new product series and help work out tech solutions to pro

6、blems in R&D as well as explore new innovative programs for attractiveness enhancement of new models. The ideal provider is expected to have powerful finance and talented managerial experience of investigating , designing, and marketing in the field. Related successful cases for reference and detail

8、ted and reputable technology supplier = brilliantly organized and mature department secretary(3) to be a competitive partner to new product series and help work out tech solutions to problems in R&D as well as explore new innovative programs for attractiveness enhancement of new models = to act as P

9、A to the Head of Marketing and provide administrative support to three other busy department heads (三个动词排比结构对应两个动词排比结构，语言模式是一样 的。)(4) is expected to have powerful finance and talented managerial experience of investigating , designing, and marketing in the field = must have strong secretarial skills

10、 and knowledge of up-to-date information technology(语言模式一致，都是两项排比结构；第一项定语前置，第二项定语后置；与此同时，模仿句子中的后置定语又使用了排比结构，在模仿例文的基础上又有一定的语言发挥。)(5) Related successful cases for reference and detailed plan to co-operate are also preferable =A good sense of humor and excellent communications skills are essential(语言模式

11、一致，模仿句子中又添加了also作为逻辑上的衔接词。)大家可以发现，这段模仿材料中的每一语言点、每一个意群和结构背后几乎都有原汁原 味的地道英语模式作为支撑，这样写出来的文章基本不用担心会出现语法错误。但如果考生只是一味地模仿，将会很难形成自己的写作风格。这就要求考生能够举一反三，在不断的模仿中熟练掌握英语语言模式， 这样才能保证写出来的文章既是地道的英文表达，又有自己的独特亮点”。英语表达的拿来主义”所谓英语表达的拿来主义：指的是考生平时在阅读地道的商务材料或是商务英语 教材时，要善于学习和记忆地道的表达方式，并练习在写作中使用。以 BEC考试教材中的 一段材料为例，我们来看看有哪些表达可以

12、为我”所用。例文：Jean Moulin is prominently located (1) in a well-established and fast-growing ( 2) corporate business area.

14、为is located at prominentpremise T(2) in a well-established and fast- growing(并列的复合形容词作前置定语，相似的表达为 “built as the most attractive economic development region )”(3) is shared with an impressive selection of (相似的表达为a covering(4) easy access to (便捷的路径)(5) with numerous bus routes serving(有大量的公共交通线路)(6) w

15、ithin walking distance(近在咫尺) In the immediate locality(周边)(8) a wide range of and - as well as (有着形成系列的 和,以及)考生在掌握了上述这些常用的表达方式后，在写作中就可以将这些地道的表达变成自 己的文字。以介绍一个工业园的交通情况为例，考生在写作中可以学习使用上述的表达方式。例文： Our Industrial Park has easy access to public transport with numerous bus routes serving the area and two me

16、tro stations are also within walking distance. In addition , the entrance of Airport Express is just 5 minutes drive.掌握的习惯表达越多,如上所述，考生在平时的阅读中要注意多学习地道的英语表达,写作起来也就越游刃有余。下文笔者归纳总结了一些写作中的常用词汇和句型，希望能对考生有所帮助。常用词汇(组)：(1) 日程安排：itinerary/program/calendar/schedule/scheme /agenda /arrangement(2) 可行性 /可用性：availa
