1.Principles of Marketing Marketing is the part of your business where money is made. In order to succeed in business, the following two principles of marketing should be kept in mind. First, customers are the mainstay of any business. Attracting customers to a business makes the difference between succeeding and failing. Therefore, the business needs to direct all activities towards satisfying the customers’ needs. If customers are satisfied, there is a chance that they will be retained for a long time and possibly permanently. Undoubtedly they are likely to talk to other potential customers. Another principle for a business is that profitable sales volume is more important than maximum sales volume. The profitable sales volume is the volume of sales that actually will earn a business the most profit. And the maximum sales volume simply refers to the biggest sum of retail sales. Since the aim of most businesses is to make as much profit as possible, businesses value profits more than the volume of sales. A large volume of sales may result in a low profit margin, therefore, it is important for marketers to focus on their profitable sales volume. Decide if each of the following statement is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).1. In order to succeed in business, three principles of marketing should be kept in mind.()2. If customers are satisfied, they will be likely to encourage more people to buy the products or services.()3. The profitable sales volume is the volume of sales that will bring a business profit.()4. The maximum sales volume refers to the biggest sum of retail sales.()5. Profitable sales volume is as important as the maximum sales volume.()

2.It is professional to talk about business collegues during business meal conversation.()

3.Which of the following is NOT a type of business report?A: Short informal reportB: Short formal reportC: Extended formal reportD: Meeting report

4.SMALL TALK BEFORE A MEETING This is a situation you’ve probably experienced many times: you arrive for a meeting ten minutes early. There are several people already there. You say hello and then … What do you talk about What do you say In this situation, you need to be able to make small talk. Small talk is an informal conversation. We use the term “small talk” because it is not about exchanging information or making decisions or having a serious discussion. It’s a way to avoid uncomfortable silences and build stronger relationships. Small talk might seem to be about nothing important, but it is important in itself. Being able to make small talk will allow you to make yourself part of a group. It will set the stage for more serious types of communication.1.Small talk is a kind of formal dialog.()2.The term “small talk” means there are only two persons in the dialog.()3.Small talk is a useful ice-breaker and can build stronger relationships.()4.Small talk is not at all important. ()5.Making small talk will allow you to be a member of a group.()

    问答题
    题目要求：　　In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1　　(The candidate chooses one topic and speaks about it for one minute.)　　A　How to negotiate successfully when we are in business?　　B　In business, what important role does the communication take?　　C　What kinds of skills shall the technical writers have?

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    It is a key skill in any business to negotiate successfully so as to reach agreements with other people or parties. The negotiation could be done with a buyer or a seller and it will always involve an element of compromise, no matter what. But, when entering negotiations, it is important to keep in mind that to negotiate and make agreements successfully is almost impossible unless you think you can afford to ‘lose’ or walk away from on offer. The result will be you avoiding asking more than what you suppose the other side will give without a dispute. Consequently, you will become a passive observer, while the other side will dictate the terms.
    If you choose B:
    Communication is one of the most important features in any business. Good communications are indispensable at any stage of the business process.
    Within individual company, internal communications happen at, and between the different levels. Directors will communicate with one another with regard to the company’s overall strategy. They communicate their plans to managers, and the managers then inform the other employees. Negotiations are usually conducted in terms of payment and working conditions. Managers try to boost morale and motivation with good communication. Employees also communicate with one another, over certain matters, for instance production and wages.
    Reliable and effective communication is instrumental when it comes to efficient management of a company.
    If you choose C:
    Firstly, technical writers should be able to write well, which means more than just knowing the basics of spelling, grammar and punctuation. The ability to condense, organize and generalize complicated information to make it easier to understand is also very important. A good technical writer must also be capable of handling tight deadlines. As far as career prospects go, with the valuable experience gained, many technical writers actually have the chance to take on management roles. Then they will be responsible for the work of other writers within a particular company; or they may want to become contractors, in other words, selling their services to companies at an hourly rate through an agency which employs many freelance technical writers.

You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.　　A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?　　Selecting a secretary for the general manager　　● Qualifications　　● Related work experience　　B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?　　Cancelling a business meeting　　● Making an apology　　● Reasons for cancellation　　C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…?　　Motivating staff　　● Bonuses offered　　● Pleasant working environment

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A:
    When selecting a secretary for the general manager, we must first of all consider if he or she has the qualifications needed. A candidate with adequate knowledge of office skills and public relations will be an ideal one.
    Related work experience is also of great importance. A skilled secretary can accomplish the office work quite satisfactorily. People with little experience sometimes will inevitably feel confused when dealing with the complicated relationships around the general manager.
    In addition, the secretary should have a good personality because a good character will help a lot in smoothing the communication with the general manager and other staff members.
    If you choose topic B:
    When cancelling a business meeting, firstly an apology for the cancellation is necessary due to its effect on the participants’ schedules and the inconvenience it has caused to others. A business meeting is not supposed not be easily cancelled if there are other alternatives.
    After the apology, you should give the participants reasons for cancelling the meeting and make it convincing and sincere. Normally, participants will show their understanding and tolerance if the thuth is told and the attitude is acceptable. In case some participants have already arrived at the meeting venue or on the way to it, there should be an another plan to compensate for the time and financial loss of the participants.
    Finally, new dates for the meeting should be set so that the participants can be better prepared.
    If you choose topic C:
    I believe that we all know the significance of motivating staff to increase their productivity and their contribution to the company. The inspired staff is more likely to enjoy the job and work more actively. There are various ways to motivate staff, of which giving bonuses is quite effective. Occasional stimuli of money will drive the staff forward.
    Plus, a pleasant work environment is also very important in motivating staff since people like staying in a clean and tidy office where they can work more efficiently. A well-equipped office will help staff do more meaningful and creative work.
    In addition, team spirit and trusty colleagues can also contribute in motivating staff.,which will always make everyone enjoy the work.

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    If you choose topic A
    As far as I am concerned, market research should be carried out before starting any project. It is evident that the needs of the consumers should be considered brfor the launching of any project . If a certain product is abundant in the market, it can be a bad idea to make more of that kind of product. On the other hand, if people have certain needs of some products, it is the perfect time to design the projects for a good market will be there.
    Of course, it is only with appropriate implementation can a positive impact be achieved., after the design is completed. For instance, financial support and well-trained personnel should be taken into consideration when implementing the project.
    Furthermore, profitability analysis is another factor to consider. Before we carry out any project, we should do some profitability analysis. A lot can be revealed from studying economic indicators. Economic indicators mean the consumer confidence index, employment cost index, producer price index, consumer price index and so on. All of them will show the prosperity of market.
    If you choose topic B
    The completion of production and the profit of the company is closely connected with cost control. We should make a through calculation of monitor asset usage as well as the productivity and unit labor cost to make full use of all the assets. Improving the production line will be a good way to improve productivity, which will reduce the storage time and save money. As for asset usage, it will be wise to monitor if every piece of them is fully used.
    We can also try to find substantial material for the sake of reducing the cost .By doing this, we can also ask for discount from the supplier. I am sure they will give favorable discounts to regular customers.
    The participation of all the employees will be needed in terms of cost control. Actually, every section can contribute in one way or another. For instance, by improving their professional skills the accounting staff can help with the cost control. All in all, the well-being of the company needs the efforts of every section.
    If you choose topic C
    When promoting a new product, we should consider several factors. First of all, the distribution channel of the product is of prime importance. It is suggested that the designing of the whole promoting campaign be based on that. In other words, it is a choice of designing a universal way to advertise the product or allowing the retailers to do it their own way.
    Secondly, perfect timing of the launching is also very significant. If there is the crash of similar products promoting in the same season, never take it lightly. An overflow of the product into the market is very likely to happen..
    In addition, an appropriate media in promoting new products also means a lot. If a right media is chosen, target consumers can access the advertisement of the new product much easier., Besides, different strategies can be applied when different products are to be advertised. For instance, we can think of some new way to make the product known and accepted.

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    Mini-representation One:
    I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
    Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of  improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
    Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
    Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
    Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
    Mini-representation Two
    Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
    Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
    Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.

    Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.

In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics.

You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.　　A  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN MOTIVATING STAFF?　　● FINANCIAL BENEFITS　　● CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES　　●...　　B  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN SATISFYING CUSTOMERS?　　● A GOOD AFTER-SALES TEAM　　● MORE CUMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS　　●...　　C  WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN PREPARING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW?　　● STUDYING THE JOB ADVERTISEMENT　　● STUDYING THE COMPANY　　●...

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    Sample A:
    Well, I’m very interested in this topic—what’s important when motivating staff. As far as I am concerned, I think we should take three main important factors into consideration, that is, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss. Firstly, the most important factor should be the financial benefits. They may consist of good salary, bonus and other perks. As we know, instead of working for fun, most people work to live. And also as the saying goes, money can make the mare go, thus money is very important in develop staff’s motivationm. Secondly, career development chances are quite important. In reality, there is nobody who does not want to be promoted. If there are not any good career prospects in a job, staff will probably give up the job. Finally, an easy-going boss is also important. Nobody is willing to work with a difficult boss. In conclusion, financial incentives, career development chances and an easy-going boss are important in motivating staff.
    Sample B:
    Well, I’d like to talk about the important factors that are beneficial to improve customers’ satisfaction. Firstly, we need a group of outstanding after-sales service team. It is true that it is difficult to meet the demands of every customer, but our duties involve dealing with customers’ complaints and trying all manner of ways to solve their problems. In order to cultivate an efficient group of after-sales service team, we must arrange some staff training courses. Besides, we need to conduct researches on customers about whether they are satisfied with our products and in what aspects they are dissatisfied. On the basis of the result of the researches, we can make improvement. In a word, a excellent after-sales team and more communication with customers  can help improve customer satisfaction.
    Sample C:
    The objective of my talk is how to prepare for a job interview. I think the preparation mainly consists of studying the job advertisement, finding out information about the company and preparing yourself psychologically. First of all, you should study carefully the job advertisement so that you can match your qualifications, such as knowledge, abilities and skills, with the specifications required for the vacancy. You must make the interviewer believe that you have all the qualifications required, thus you are the right kind of person they are looking for. Secondly, you should know more about the company, for example its profile, requirements, existing problems, structure, campaigns and future plans. Finally, you should also prepare yourself psychologically and this will help you overcome stress. For example, rehearsing the interview with your friends is a good way of relaxation exercise that can put confidence in you.

    正确答案： 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
    In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
    Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
    If you choose B:
    When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
    Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
    Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.
