You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about 1 minute. You have 1 minute to prepare your ideas. 1 【正确答案】 If you choos
11、e topic A: What is Important when choosing new premises? Choosing new premises is of great importance for the beginning and expansion of ones business. I have good reasons to suggest that four factors should be taken into consideration. The first and foremost is location. If the premises are located
12、 within the commercial area downtown, clients may find and visit the company easily and frequently. Otherwise, they may really have trouble finding the way to the company and the business may be affected. Cost is the second factor to be considered. High costs of renting or buying premises bring heav
13、y burden to the operation of the company. Of course, if the location of premises is good, lower cost is preferred. The number of staff is another factor. The size and space of premises should be in proportion to the number of staff. No one is willing to work in a crowded office. Last but not least,
14、the surroundings of the premises should be considered as well. If there are restaurants and parks nearby, staff may have meals conveniently and have a walk after work, which are good to their health. If you choose topic B: What is important when preparing for a business meeting? A successful busines
15、s meeting is an active way to exchange information and enhance cooperation in the business field. In order to make the meeting successful, choosing and arranging the conference room is of great importance. The conference room should be clean, spacious and well-equipped to guarantee that the meeting
16、will be held smoothly. The agenda of the business is also very important. The agenda should be decided by the organizers and printed on handouts. In this way, people who will attend the meeting can have a clear knowledge of the procedures of the meeting. The speakers should be invited several weeks
17、or days before the meeting is held. Undoubtedly, some influential economists and businessmen are ideal speakers who have adequate information and experiences to share with the attendants. The last point I want to mention is that the cost of the meeting should be controlled well. It is necessary for
18、the organizers to work out all the costs and try to make good use of money. If you choose topic C: What is important when entering overseas market? When deciding to enter overseas market, we should consider several factors. Firstly, doing market research is an essential element. Market research is t
19、he activity of collecting and studying information about what our target consumers want, need and buy, since they have different cultural background, customs and habits. We can do market research ourselves or employ specialists to do that. Secondly, advertisement is also important, because it can ma
20、ke our products well known and attract potential customers. Wed better choose an experienced local advertisement agency to design a novel and suitable ad for our product. Furthermore, setting up a branch or subcompany is necessary, because the employees who are exploring overseas market need premise
21、s. The scale of the branch depends on the turnover of the business there and the fixed overseas branch shows the companys long-term strategy for development. Finally, its crucial to recruit veteran local marketing managers to promote our products more effectively. Obviously, this saves the trouble o
22、f language problem and culture shock. 二、 SECTION 3 DISCUSSION (ABOUT 5 MIN) In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic.

23、ll ask you more questions related to the topic. 2 【正确答案】 A: It is the first time for our company to attend a trade fair in Paris. So we have to do a lot of preparations before we set off. Do you think so? B: Im of exactly the same idea. Firstly, I think we must make an appropriate schedule. For exam
24、ple, we should arrive a day earlier, so we will have time to adjust and acclimatize. A: I agree entirely. As we know, travel fatigue, climatic changes, jet lag, foreign food, etc. will all have great effect on us. B: Yes. And then we should book air tickets and reserve accommodations in advance. A:
25、Yes. I think wed better contact the travel agency because it can offer a variety of choices and favorable discount. B: Thats just what I was thinking about. Then, we must remind every participant that cultural differences can cause a lot of misunderstandings and even break a deal. So they should lea
26、rn more about French culture. A: Can you put things into the perspective? B: For instance, shaking hands with everyone present, inviting your customers to lunch rather than dinner, avoiding talking business over the main course, etc. are all basic business customs that our participants should bear in mind. A: I go along with you about that. I think we can invite French people to give our participants a lecture on French culture. B: Ok, thats agreed. Ill present our ideas to the board of directors. Nice talking with you.
