07/30/2019Hi 大家好
先說一下寫這篇分享的
背景:
目前我在外企實(shí)習(xí),出于學(xué)習(xí)商務(wù)英語的需要,我查看了許多回答,最后將學(xué)習(xí)的一部分內(nèi)容瞄準(zhǔn)在《BBC English at Work》。
這個(gè)系列的劇一共有66集,每集3-4分鐘,以職場新人Anna的成長為時(shí)間線索,教給大家在不同場合下適用的商務(wù)英語表達(dá),比如:英文面試時(shí),寫郵件時(shí),解釋誤解時(shí)等等,每一集對應(yīng)一個(gè)小場景。
我目前看到了第19集。
再說說分享的
動機(jī):
大家應(yīng)該最初都是通過我的托業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)分享而認(rèn)識我,我發(fā)現(xiàn)劇集中的大部分詞經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在托業(yè)試題中,所以想作為托業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)分享的姐妹篇,分享出來,作為商務(wù)詞匯的補(bǔ)充,如果不考托業(yè)的話,也可以看看,為以后的實(shí)習(xí)/工作為做鋪墊。
PS:我學(xué)習(xí)商務(wù)英語除了看這個(gè)劇集,還買了BEC高級的書和習(xí)題學(xué)習(xí),不一定會考證。
