Features: This book is suitable for candidates preparing for the Cambridge University ESOL Examination Center's Business English Certificate Advanced Examination, including four complete sets of Business English Certificate Advanced Examination papers. The Business English Certificate Examination is held at recognized BEC examination centers and takes place on six fixed dates each year, with two sessions held annually in China. The primary target of these examinations is learners who wish to obtain an English language certificate related to business. The examination standards provide an ideal focus for business English courses. The BEC examination tests English language skills in a work-related context, rather than business knowledge. BEC has three levels—Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. The levels of the Business English Certificate Examination are aligned with the five levels set by the European Language Testing Association/Cambridge University Language Assessment Standards and the language teaching syllabus established by the European Commission. Within the framework of the British National Curriculum, the Business English examination also meets the national standards for language reading and writing set by the UK Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.
