bec口语练习和答案

1.

What is important when attending an interview?

?

Punctuality

It

’

s a merit that we keep our appointment on time. For example, if the interview is due to

start at ten o

’

clock, a candidate should arrive five minutes earlier. In preparation, he

’

d

better pay a visit to the interview site on the day before if possible. By doing this, he

could make sure of the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.

?

Manner

Remember that the interviewer is observing you even before you enter the room. So

don

’

t you forget to knock at the door first, no matter it

’

s a shut or open. Moreover, it

’

s

widely accepted that eye contact is indispensable. Look straight into the eyes of the

interviewer with politeness as well as self-confidence, and greet him with a smile at the

same time.

?

Appearance

Someone who is particular about his appearance is welcome everywhere. With you hair

neatly cut, your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, your first impression

could not be too bad. In addition, equip yourself with a starched shirt, and ironed suit

and a pair of polished shoes; you

’

re absolutely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male

and female interviewers.

?

Talking

Talking is the primary channel we communicate with people. As the saying goes, talking

ability is also a powerful weapon when it comes to winning a favorable feeling of others.

Choose your words carefully at first, since you

’

re still a stranger to the interviewer. After

getting a bit familiar with him, you can add a sense of humor in your remarks to ease the

atmosphere.

?

Body language

Nowadays, the importance of body language is regarded as more revealing than what is

said. A seasoned interviewer would certainly keep this in mind while talking to you.

Gripping your hands together means you are nervous. Similarly, escaping the

interviewer

’

s eyes could leave him an impression that you may be lack of confidence.

Remember, you have nothing to lose. So take it as a chat between friends rather than a

serious conversation with your boss.

?

Personality

Knowing all the interview tricks won

’

t necessarily guarantee a success. If you talking

points are no more than the old stories, your efforts of organizing the materials are still

in vain. Something new is needed in order to stir the interview

’

s interest. Give him a

little surprise and nobody cares about whether your point is right or wrong. Sometimes,

it could be a quite rewarding try.

2.

What is important when giving a presentation?

?

Topic

If we choose a boring topic to talk about, we

’

re facing an unsuccessful outcome. As long

as you know what stuff the audience may be tired of hearing, never mention it.

?

Equipment needed

It couldn

’

t be worse if the equipment needed in the presentation breaks down.

Presentation techniques depend heavily on equipment. Spending some money to rent

high

-performance equipment is well worthy.

Type of audience

An excellent presenter is good at marking off different types of audience from their

occupations and social status. Then he picks up his method accordingly in hopes of

positive reactions.

Eye contact with audience

It

’

s good manners to have eye contact with your audience. If you don

’

t give them a

glimpse every few seconds, they wouldn

’

t pay attention to your presentation any longer,

for you don

’

t care about their existence.

Appearance of presenter

An imposing appearance is needed in formal occasions, especially for a presenter, who

is the focus of everybody. Casual wear is totally unacceptable if you ever wish to enjoy

the audience

’

s trust.

Control of rhythm

Until you realize the importance of controlling rhythm, you

’

re not a qualified presenter

yet. Don

’

t you rattle away to show your eloquence? Pause from now and then, allowing

your argument to sink in.

3.

What is important when selecting an employee?

?

Qualification

Certificates and diplomas do not stand for your entire qualification. Incompetent masters

and doctors graduated from highly praised universities can be everywhere. We just

cannot depend on them to make a profit for the company. By contrast, interviewees with

practical experience would bring us more benefits.

?

Experience

It couldn

’

t be better if our employees are made of people who come from different cities,

provinces, countries, and continents. Their different backgrounds could very well serve

our purpose of diversification within the company.
