Each of them requires full consideration. Firstly, work experience should be considered. Usually, an applicant with longer experience is more suitable for the opening. But, an experienced applicant also has his or her disadvantage: he or she has less potential com pared with a young and energetic one who has much more potential. Secondly, personal qualities should never be ignored. A company in which staff are hard working, loyal, and collaborative tends to succeed. We should be more careful when we choose a leader. A good leader can lead a prosperous one to be more promising. A bad leader results in a disaster.Interlocutor;?Thank you. Thank you.

Would you like to talk about what you think is important when maintaining customer interests?[Candidate Two talks]As is known to all, it is important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers. First, it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands. Third, if possible, it may provide some incentives to its old customers. All in all, a company should try its utmost to keep its current customers satisfied with its products and services, and at the same time it should stay ahead of the market. Interlocutor: -Thank you.

Would you like to talk about what you think is important when considering transport management?[Candidate One talks]Any distribution of products from producers to wholesales or from wholesalers to retailers requires transportation. The cost of transporting some products can exceed the cost of producing them. An efficient form of transportation can result in higher costs and lower profits for the firm. For each form of transportation, firms should estimate timing, cost, and availability.This assessment allows the firm to choose an optimal method of transportation. The most common forms of transportation used to distribute are truck, rail, air, water, pipeline. Interlocutor: -Thank you. Thank you. Now, Candidate Two, please ask Candidate One your question about his/her talk.[Candidate Two asks question.]In terms of timing, cost and a viability, which do you thin the most important is?Candidate One: Well.

Is that clear?[Interlocutor places the card in front of the candidates.] Interlocutor: -I’m just going to listen and then ask you to stop after 3 minutes. Please speak so that we can hear you.[Candidates have about 3 minutes to complete the task.]A: In international trade, buyers and sellers usually live far from each other and this creates a problem. It is impossible for the buyers to examine the quality of the imported goods. Thus there needs to be some means for the sellers to inform the buyers of the quality. In international trade, four means are generally used to express the quality of products. They are sales by sample, sales by specification, grade or standard, sales by trade mark or brand, and sales by description.B: Yes, a sample is a small quantity of the products which represents the whole. Through the sample, buyers are able to know the quality of the products.A: Ok, sales by specification, grade or standard are another way to show the quality of the products, namely through certain recognized specification, grades or standards.B: Sales by trademark or brand are normally useful to the products that have already obtained export markets whose brands or trade marks are already widely known.A: The last method is sales by description. Sales by description are usually applied to some whole set of mechanical and electrical products such as instruments or equipment. For these products there must be detailed descriptions provided for the buyers so that the buyers are able to know the structure, function, usage of the products, and so the products can be used accordingly.B: In export trade, sales contract plays an important part. A quality clause is always a major part in the contract, which the exporters should also pay great attention to, when working it out, so as to make it really workable.[Materials are collected.][The interlocutor asks one or more questions as appropriate , to extend the discussion.]Of the above four sales method, which one is most popular” ?B: Well, it depends. It depends on buyer’s preference, and the kind of goods. For example, instruments or equipment usually use sales by description.。

You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.正确答案：When a company is considering how to motivate their employees, I think providing opportunities for further development and offering promotion and bonus are very important. First of all, most of the employees are willing to enrich their professional knowledge and experiences for a better position. They will be highly motivated if they can learn something useful and necessary for their future work and thus increase their self-value in the work market. In addition, most of the people will certainly be happy to see that their work or contribution to their companies is regarded on a fair basis. In this sense, a higher salary and bonus are the direct and preferable awards for most employees. But it should also be noted that they must be given according to the employees’ performances. Otherwise, people will be discouraged and made discontent if incompetent people are given promotion or bonus.SECTION 3 DISCUSSION (ABOUT 5 MIN)In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic.
