This book covers the BEC Intermediate vocabulary, providing the most commonly used words in business English and explaining their meanings and usage. These words are based on the Cambridge Business English Certificate exam syllabus and summarized from actual teaching experience. They cover various aspects of international business English, such as international trade, international finance, international marketing, business management, logistics, and more. For international business English learners, some words in this book may be unfamiliar, such as handson, inservice, gencon, etc. Others may have been learned before, but they take on different meanings in a business context, making them still new to business English learners, such as outstanding (overdue payment, debt) and claim (claim), etc.
The features of this book are as follows:
1. The characteristics of business English: We distinguish between the general context and the business context of each entry and explain them separately. This is highly beneficial for learners to familiarize themselves with the business context during vocabulary study.
2. Based on the business context, we provide classic long and complex example sentences to help students learn vocabulary and business context without forgetting the long and complex sentences in exams. On the other hand, these long and complex example sentences also promote the learning of the business context. Combining both aspects will surely yield twice the result with half the effort.
3. Concise and powerful business phrases, showcasing authentic English vocabulary usage.
