新东方商务英语初级口语素材六（商业会议）

　　BEC商务英语考试在现在的考试形式占有重要的地位，当今社会不论是学生还是职场人都在努力的奋斗这提升自己的能力和晋升的空间，那么我们该怎么样复习好BEC英语呢!口语是我从心里到嘴上都一直嚷嚷着要练好，却不知道怎样才算彻底过关的一块硬骨头。因为当时我已经在国家六级英语考试中获得了不错的成绩，所以毫不犹豫地把最高级别(3级)作为自己的努力目标。我始终觉得跟影碟学口语非常有帮助，可以放一个句子按一次暂停，根据中文听清英文句子，然后自己不断复述，因为这些语言就是生活中的语言。强烈建议大家在考前一至两周开始写作和口语部分的定时模拟，在考试规定的时间内尝试实战性质的写作和口语对话，这对消除考试紧张情绪、调控心理状态很有帮助。
