Features: The China-UK Educational Measurement Academic Exchange Center (“”) is an institution established with the approval of the State Education Commission. The center is funded by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) and carries out exchanges and cooperation related to education and educational measurement in China and other countries or regions in the Asia-Pacific. This set of teaching materials was specifically compiled by experts organized by the center to complement the《》series textbooks it has introduced. It consists of three volumes, each suitable for training for the BEC Preliminary, Vantage, and Higher levels. This book is not a student textbook written by the original authors of the textbook series, but rather a teaching material compiled by Chinese teachers based on their teaching experience, catering to the self-study needs of Chinese students and drawing inspiration from the New English for Business series. To facilitate learning for beginners, the listening texts, explanations, and exercise requirements have been translated into Chinese to help students understand the exact meaning. Additionally, appropriate supplements have been added to each unit's exercises, and explanations have been provided for the difficulties in the texts and exercises. Each unit generally includes the following aspects:
Learning Tips: Points out the key learning objectives and methods for each lesson.
Listening: Lists listening prompts and writes their main Chinese meanings to prepare for listening to the recordings.
Explanations: Translates the original textbook's explanations in full and provides appropriate supplements.
Practice Exercises: Guides students to complete these exercises as required in the textbook, further deepening their understanding of the lesson's key points.
Apply What You've Learned: Practice exercises that bridge the gap between the book and real-world application.
Supplementary Exercises: Selected from recently published British and American business English textbooks and rewritten to expose students to various question types and increase practice opportunities.
Translation Exercises: These are story-based paragraph exercises carefully designed by the book's compilers for the students.
Text Notes and Vocabulary Explanations: Provide necessary explanations for the difficulties Chinese students face in learning business English, with detailed examples.
Vocabulary Check: Gives the Chinese meanings of words and phrases from the WordCheck section at the end of each lesson, along with the part of speech of the words.
