Sometimes they ever, have a checklist of items they look for in each proposal and will be prepared to tell you about it if you ask. B Proposals are evaluated b
4、y a wide range of readers, from top management to technical evaluators to budget analysers. These readers will focus on different sections of a proposal, perhaps missing out whole segments, All readers, however, should be able to evaluate the first section of a proposal, which is a summary of the do
5、cument. The length can vary greatly it may sometimes be only one paragraph but in a very formal report it may run to several pages. C The worst thing you can de is offer value judgements which the client can refute. You want to seem serious, fair, objective and factual. Only after you build a founda
6、tion of fact can you offer a few judgements. Otherwise, you are likely to invite the reader to take issue with you. The facts are your findings and should be labelled as such: opinions are conclusions and should be labelled that way. If you use adjectives like powerful, wide-ranging, significant, et
7、c., make sure you support them with details. D In proposal writing there is a tendency to rely on standard formats, i.e. static, standard sentences, paragraphs or pages that seem to fit all situations and do not change from proposal to proposal. No-company sees itself as being like any other and so
8、the last thing you want is for a prospective client to believe you are just recycling old solutions. You must try to create (the ideas to fit the needs of the particular client and try not to copy old ideas because you cannot be bothered to generate new ones). 1 Start with a statement that will be a
9、ccessible to everyone who studies it. 2 You should back up all claims you make. 3 Dont repeat the content of previous proposals. 4 Companies may already have prepared some ideas about what they expect in the proposal. 5 Remember that proposals are read by more than one person. 6 Be aware that all cl
10、ients regard themselves as unique. 7 You should separate verifiable information from your personal point of view. 二、 PART TWO 7 Read the article below about. Choose the best sentence to fill in each of the gaps. For each gap 8-12, mark on letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet. Do not use any letter more
11、 than once. The Steady Progress of APEC It is a measure of APEC s success that its summit meetings (stating with the first held in 1993 at Seattle in USA) are now held annually. The second was held in 1994 at Bogor in lndonesia. It adopted a declaration to abolish tariffs between all its members by
12、the year 2020. APEC s developed economies would, however, follow an earlier schedule of freeing trade by 2010. The third summit at Osake (Japan) in November was to stock of the progress towards the free trade goal. APEC s progress is even greater considering that until the first Asia Pacific Economi
13、c Cooperation (APEC) meeting of 12 regional foreign and economic ministers in Australia, it was simply a laudable idea. (8) Ever since that fateful Canberra conference in November 1989, APEC has never looked back. The original 12-member forum has 18 members: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, China,
14、Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Guinea, the Philip-pines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States. The rush to join the APEC club is so great that it had to impose a three-year moratorium on new membership till 1996. (9) When Australia first mooted the propo
15、sal to convene a conference for regional cooperation, there was considerable misgiving and scepticism about it. Most ASEAN countries (Association of South East Asian Nations)-Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysin, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand (Vietnam was not a member of them)-were not particularly
16、 enthusiastic. (10) Indonesias Foreign Minister, Ah Alatas, simply wanted any Pacific organization to be an extension of ASEAN. Indonesias hosting of the APEC surnmit last year, where President Soeharto played a leading role in putting together the free trade declaration, would suggest that Jakartas
17、 earlier misgivings have disappeared. (11) In the lead-up to the Osaka summit, the report card on the free trade agenda (gleaned from the meetings of officials from member countries) did not seem terribly good. The United States, which seeks expanded access (and at a quicker pace) to regional market
18、s, was unhappy with the slowness of Japan to advance the free trade agenda. Japan was the country chairing APEC for 1995. According to MS Sandra Kristoff, the US State Departments Coordinator for APEC, Japan had “to go out there and create a consensus on free trade, lead a consensus, make this happe
19、n . The United States doubted Japans free trade credentials and felt that its heart was not in the APEC pledge. Tokyo has wanted a free trade agenda to develop on a voluntary basis. (12) However, because of Americas growing preoccupation in the months ahead with presidential elections, the Clinton a
20、dministrations impatience and consequent negative rhetoric need not be taken at its face value. Washington cannot afford to ignore or opt out of APEC, with the USA having about 400 billion annual trade with the region. A The second summit was held in 1994 at Bogor in Indonesia. B It was felt that a
21、pan-Pacific organization would dwarf 12 ASEAN, which might then lose its reason for being discussed and even its existence. C But, it was an idea whose time had come. D It would, however, be naive to suggest that APEC will be all smooth sailing. E This in itself is a proof of the considerable headwa
22、y APEC has made in a short period of about six years. F It needs emphasizing that all APEC members are in favour of regional free trade but all de not favour set time-schedules and their enforcement. G Washington has not been happy with this approach. 三、 PART THREE 12 Read the article below about lo
23、sing an accent to achieve success, and the questions on the opposite page. For each question 18-18, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose. LOSING AN ACCENT TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS It was painful for Irwin Layton to warn one of his recently promoted managers that h
