First, could you please tell meyour name and what you do?Candidate: Good morning. My name is Alex, and I'm a marketing assistant at a digital agency.Examiner: Thank you, Alex. Now, I'd like you to talkabout a project you've recently completed at work. Please describe the project and your role in it.Candidate: Certainly. The project I was involved in was a rebranding campaign for one of our clients. My role was to assist in the development of the new brand identity and to manage the social media rollout. We conducted market research, created a new logo and slogan, and then I coordinated the posting schedule across all our client's social media platforms.Examiner: That sounds interesting. What was the most challenging part of the project?Candidate: The most challenging part was ensuring that the new brand message was consistent across all materials and platforms. It required a lot of coordination and attention to detail.Examiner: Great. Now, let's move on to the next section.Part 2: The Mini-PresentationExaminer: For this part, you have one minute to prepare a short presentation on the topic "The Importance of Teamworkin Business." After your presentation, I will ask you a couple of questions.(One minute later)Candidate: Thank you. In my presentation, I'd like to highlight the significance of teamwork in achieving business success. Firstly, teamwork fosters a collaborative environment where diverse ideas can be shared and considered, leading to innovative solutions. Secondly, it improves efficiency as tasks are distributed among team members, allowing for better time management. Lastly, a strong team can enhance a company's reputation, as clients appreciate a coordinated and professional approach to business.Examiner: Thank you for your presentation. Why do you think some teams struggle to work effectively together?Candidate: Some teams may struggle due to a lack of clear communication or defined roles. Additionally, if there's a lack of trust or if team members are not aligned with the company's goals, it can hinder effective teamwork.Examiner: What strategies can a company use to improve team dynamics?Candidate: Companies can improve team dynamics by setting clear objectives, providing regular feedback, and encouraging open communication. Team-building activities can also be beneficial in fostering trust and camaraderie among team members.Part 3: The Collaborative TaskExaminer: Now, let's imagine you and your colleague, Emily, are planning a company event. You have five minutes to discuss and make decisions about the event's details.(Five minutes later)Examiner: Thank you, Alex and Emily. Can you summarize the decisions you've made for the company event?Candidate: Yes, we decided to organize a summer barbecue at a local park. The event will include team-building games, a picnic lunch, and an awards ceremony to recognize employees' achievements. We agreed on a date that doesn't conflict with any major holidays and will send outinvitations two weeks in advance.Examiner: Excellent. How do you think the event will benefit the company?Candidate: We believe the event will boost morale and strengthen relationships among colleagues. It will also serve as a platform to celebrate individual and team accomplishments, which can motivate employees and enhancetheir commitment to the company.Examiner: Well done, Alex. That concludes our speakingtest today. Thank you for your participation.Candidate: Thank you for the opportunity. I appreciate it.This sample dialogue covers the typical structure of the BEC Preliminary Speaking test, which includes an interview, a mini-presentation, and a collaborative task. It's designed to assess the candidate's ability to communicate effectively ina business context.。

Incompetent masters anddoctors graduated from highly praised universities can be everywhere. We just cannot dependon them to make a profit for the company.

Their different backgrounds could very well serve ourpurpose of diversification within the company.✧Professional experienceIt might sounds curious but I’d really like to give the job-hoppers a chance to demonstrate their capabilities.

That’s why people are readyto pay a higher price for it.✧DesignQuality speaks for itself has already been a phrase of our fashion.
