BEC高级口语必备讲义Word版

1、BEC高级口语一、 你的第一个任务：提问摘串TRACY备注：请你花12个小时的时间，将BEC高级口语考题中从P1到P3的提问中所有“串儿”摘到你的串儿口袋书里此乃磨刀不误砍柴工也。二、 你的第二个任务：把下面这几个几乎必问的自我介绍类问题，彻底准备好，答案要100%准确。你可以参考下文的示范回答，更可以到.hk搜索自己想了解的内容。切忌：自己写的答案并不可靠，因为，它的前提是你的写作水平要高于口语水平啊，呵呵。所以，要记住，网络搜索，是你能随时校对自己的英语水平的一个好方法。举个例子，如果你想写的是“我的梦想是成为管理咨询顾问”这样的一个内容，你可以输入become a management

2、consultant在google中进行搜索，所出现的页面就都是和“咨询顾问”相关的页面了，你一定可以找到很多高分的“串儿”。当然，google校对并不是很容易掌握的，不过，就算你遇到困难，你也是在练习你的英文阅读啊！而且，只要坚持，试验个几十次你就能大致掌握这种方法了。PART 1自我介绍类的话题PERSONAL INFORMATION（TRACY备注：仅供参考，大家尽可以有自己的回答方法。）1.
