[原创]BEC高级--让我难忘的考试

又一年的BEC考试又要开始了.很多人急着复习备考了.平心而论,她在对测试非英语为母语的'考生运用英语作为工具进行商务活动能力的方面还是比较有说服力和权威性的,所以对于将来有志进入(或已经进入)外企进行国际贸易的人员来说,这项考试还是值得一试的.特别是BEC HIGHER, 她对英语综合能力的评估力度相对更大一些.

由于BEC考试有她特有的特点,报考她的人也越来越多.但是也正是由于她将英语和商务结合到一起,致使考试难度加大.无论是对于没有经过英语专业训练的非英语专业考生,还是对于学习英语专业但没有商务知识的考生来说都是比较困难的.尤其如果是没有正式进入工作岗位,只是在校学生,他们对BEC高级商务实务不是很了解,在解决具体考试内容的时候,就会有一定难度.

Improving Reading Speed

When we read in foreign language, very often, we don’t have enough confidence in our text comprehension，therefore we have to slow down and tend to read the same line over and over again. However，low reading speed is an obstacle to us in efficiency and having general grasp of the materials. Thus for us college students and people preparing tests, it is very urgent to accelerate reading speed. Following are some advices from my experience:

Firstly, for we discuss the methods on improving reading speed, we should know how fast or slow we read. It is important to measure our reading speed before and after our practice in fast reading so that we can know how much improvement we have achieved.

Secondly, identify the purpose of our reading and try to achieve that purpose. Improving reading speed is a gradual process and we had better choose a short-term goal that can give us an impetus more easily.

Thirdly, experiment before starting practice of accelerating reading speed, and identify certain methods which are really suitable. Here are some suggestions:

1. Try to get main ideas from one text. When we read only for main point, we will pick up our reading speed naturally.

2. Don’t read every word. Focus our attention only on nouns and verbs and some functional conjunctions such as but, however, in particular, in contrast, otherwise, in fact, until, etc., which can help us get main ideas, and ignore the words or parts that we do not understand.

3. Never use a pen or a finger to point at the words while reading, but move our eyes to help reading faster, and try to broaden our eye span.

4. Don’t let eyes stay in the same line for more than 5 seconds.

Practice these tips and practice as often as possible, and don’t forget to measure reading speed at the end to see how fast we can read. It may be not very rewarding at the beginning, but with patience and time, we shall find that we are making progress.
