Dear Mr Collins，
I am writing to thank you for attending our school careers day last week and giving such
an inspirational and interesting speech on career prospects in the financial services industry.
I am also writing to inform. you that you left a CI}ROM in the computer which you used
during your speech. Iwould like to return it to you as soon as possible but Iwas unsure
whether to send it to your company or adifferent address.
I contacted your office but，unfortunately, you were away on business and I spoke to a
secretary. She said that the disc belonged to your own private consultancy business and that I should send it there. She provided me with an address but I am afraid that I may havewritten it down incorrectly. The address I have is as follows:Collinsi一Consultancies, Box 283A, Bristol. Could you please confirm that this is the correct address to which I shouldsend the disc?
Thank you once again for your generosity in giving up your valuable time for the
students at our school and Iam sorry I have been unable to return your CD-ROM morepromptly.
Yours sincerely，

第2题：
Receiving Visitors at the Airport
Do you, sometimes, need to go to meet some visitors at the airport? What should you do when you meet them? What should you talk about? On their arrival, you should pay attention to the following points:
Going up to meet the visitors
Asking about their journey
Helping with their luggage
When going to the visitors and making introduction at the airport, you should remember that the person of less importance, regardless of gender, is introduced to the person of greater importance and the visitor is always more important than anyone in your organization. The introduction is usually followed by a brief and firm handshake.
To break the ice, after introduction, you can ask about their journey, like: “Did you enjoy your journey?” , “How was your trip?” etc. If you want to be more friendly and helpful, you may offer to take the luggage.
When you get to the hotel, accompany your visitors to the hotel front desk and help them with the check-in. After check-in, ask a bell boy to help carry the luggage.
When your visitors have settled down, discuss the schedule with them to see if there might be any changes. If there are changes, don't forget to let the related persons know.
1.When making introductions, the introduction is usually starting with a brief and firm handshake.

A: Since it is the first time for our company to attend a trade fair in Paris, I think we have to do a lot of preparations beforehand. What’s your view?
B: I agree. I suppose we need to bring a lot of introductions, samples and brochures of our products with us. At the same time, it is advisable that we prepare free gifts printed with the name of our company so as to promote our products in the fair and pursue sales in the future. To make our exhibition special and attractive, I think it is important that we invite some experts to help us with the designing of the exhibition stand. We must make every endeavour to make our exhibition a success. What do you think?
A: That is right. I think we should also arrange an appropriate schedule. For instance, we should get there several days earlier to have enough time to settle down and prepare for the trade fair. As is known, travel fatigue, climatic changes, jet lag, foreign food, etc. will all have some adverse effect on us.
B: I wholly agree with you on that. And we need to book air tickets and reserve accommodations beforehand. As we all know, the accommodations will be difficult and more expensive due to the fair.
A: Yes. Therefore, I think we need to contact a travel agency for it can offer a variety of choices and discounts to us, which will save us time to be better prepared for the trade fair.
B: That’s just what I am thinking. Then, we must warn every member of the group of cultural differences, which may cause misunderstandings, so they should learn more about French culture before they go.

问答题Discuss, and decide together: ● What the likely reactions from staff might be to the introduction of the scheme? ● How feedback should be given to staff on their performance?正确答案：
【参考范例】
Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
A: ABC Company is about to introduce an appraisal scheme to assess the performance of staff. It will benefit both individual and company. Individual appraisals are not always very effective, and people tend to think that there are too many categories. They are not sure how the system works, so they are not happy with the legal aspects. What might be the likely reactions of the staff to the introduction of the scheme?
B: I think some employees would accept the appraisal scheme, in the hope that introduction of the scheme will be beneficial to both individual and company. Some would regard it as a chance to improve their salary. Some others may dislike it for they don’t like the way they are assessed. Many more have doubt about the meaning of the staff appraisal. Everybody works in teams these days and team members share responsibility for results. And team leaders could sense resentment between members. Teams much prefer to be awarded a group rating. We often receive complaints about the system of performance appraisals. What is your opinion of the feedback on appraisal? I think the feedback on performance appraisal is very likely not as positive as the leaders have expected.
A: I agree with you. The staff appraisal may be one of the biggest causes of dissatisfaction at work. In America, the unhappy workers even sue their employers over appraisal interviews. Problems will rise from the scheme itself and from the implementation and understanding of that scheme. Senior staff find it difficult to do appraisals. They have no choice but to listen to staff’s complaint about the company during the appraisal.
B: Therefore, I recommend that before reversing the appraisal’s negative associations, an organization needs to find out the underlying reasons contributing to them. The guidelines should be given to the employees by the management These guidelines suggest that a successful scheme have a clear appeal process, that all the negative feedback should be accompanied by evidence like dates, times and outcomes and that, most importantly, ratings should be able to reflect specific measurable elements of the job requirements.
A: I suggest we should make some changes to the current schemes. But how should feedback be given to staff on their performance?
B: That’s the question that needs discussion. Yes, you’re right. Some changes to current schemes are actually simply a matter of logic.
A: For example, if employees are constantly encouraged to work in teams and to shoulder joint responsibility for their successes and failures, it practically makes little sense for the appraisals to focus on individuals, as this may result in resentments and cause divisions within the group. Therefore, it is possible, and more suitable in some cases to arrange appraisals where performance is rated for the group.
B: And in addition, staff members should also be educated about the best way to approach appraisals. They feel uncomfortable about being asked to play a more supportive role than they are accustomed to without any training. I think it is sensible to give written feedback to most staff members. For some employees, we’d better give them oral feedback on their performance plus the written one.
A: Your idea is acceptable. However, those who are appraised may regard it as a chance to air their grievances and highlight the company’s failings instead of considering their own role. Therefore, the feedback to be given to staff should not be too negative. Rather, the appraisal needs to be positive.解析： 暂无解析 -

第10题：
问答题At present, people obtain most of their information from news reporting. However, some people think that we should not believe what journalists report. What is your opinion? What qualities do you think a journalist should have? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic. In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
Currently, news reporting is one of the major channels by which people become informed of various affairs around the globe. However, some people believe that the journalists who furnish the reports do not deserve any trust. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint for the following reasons.
Firstly, many journalists fabricate sensational incidents in order to make themselves eye-catching and prominent. Reporters, like many people in other occupations, now feel the fierce competition in their own circle. Consequently, some of them, to survive the competition, deliberately exaggerate or whitewash certain matters to gain the upper hand over their colleagues. Their reports are certainly not dependable.
Secondly, some journalists will say anything to flatter a certain enterprise, as long as they are given a considerable sum of money by the owner of the enterprise in question. Such news people have no respect for their own profession, and will doubtlessly win no trust from their readers.
Thirdly, if a journalist works for a profit-bent mass media, he will find furnishing sensational news stories a must. To increase the circulation of the newspaper or magazine which they work for, or to lure more viewers and listeners for the broadcasting organization where they earn a salary, they have to write something that can attract people. If they want to reach this goal quickly, they find it necessary to make up some parts of their reports or simply invent a news story, which can help them to stir a sensation among people. As the circulation gets bigger, or more people tune in their programs, more advertisers will come. That means a greater profit for their bosses and a higher income for themselves.
Last but not least, some newspersons have no idea of the rule that news should be based rigorously on facts. Sometimes they just pick up some interesting hearsay. And then their active imaginations are brought to bear, so that a touching or enchanting story is mistaken for news. This kind of story can be an entertainment, but can never be taken as something true happening in the world.
All in all, many news reports cannot be counted upon. However, if reporters or journalists strictly abide by their professional requirements and nurture professional qualities, namely being honest, righteous, insightful, and farsighted, and having a strong sense of justice and social responsibility, readers and reporters will have more mutual trust, and the world will surely be a better place.解析：

问答题Discuss, and decide together: ● What effects moving premises could have on staff? ● How suppliers and customers might be affected by the relocation?正确答案：
【参考范例】
Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
A: Well, relocation will concern practically all the employees. One of the concerns might be the effect of the changes while their main concern is to remain in the position. They are concerned about issues like salary, working conditions, cultural differences, and so on as well.
B: Yes, it is natural that they might be worried about their job. If business relocates, they’ll have no choice but to move to a different place. Actually, some of them will be earning less, while some others may be earning more than before.
A: That’s true. I think many employees will face redundancy or feel nervous about changing job.
B: I see what you mean. Some may feel threatened by redundancy if our company relocates to new premises. Although most of the staff may be not happy with the decision made, some of the employees might be pleased with relocation for they are looking forward to working overseas, which can offer them a once in a lifetime opportunity to live, work and build friendship in a quite different environment.
A: Right. This experience will also provide them with a chance to widen their outlook on life, appreciate cultural differences and develop new skills. But I think the company needs to employ fully qualified professionals who are resourceful, and sensitive to cultural differences.
B: In addition, being flexible is also an extremely important quality. They need to be able to imagine themselves happily adjusting to new codes of behavior and dressing, different food and even opening hours. What about the perks for working abroad, do you have any ideas?
A: Well, those to work overseas will be offered a comprehensive package, including free travel, subsidized accommodation as well as a general local salary.
B: Sounds a good idea. Anyway, I think the company will have to be careful about relocation, for the failure of a big action will have a knock-on effect throughout the whole company.
A: Well, I am still doubtful about relocation. Some people may ask: what’s the great attraction? Why is our company so eager to relocate to new premises? Suppose what we are going to say to answer these questions?
B: Well, what I can say is that relocating to new premises could be a good thing and it all depends on the circumstances of the company under discussion. It can be anything from better access to overseas markets, less labor costs, lower taxes,, quicker delivery or even a combination of any of these.
A: You’re probably right. However, it would be fair to say that the financial benefits are the main motivation, wouldn’t it?
B: Under most circumstances it probably would, yes. Without them, I believe very few companies would be interested in that. Considering our position, I think our priority is to do some market research. We need to know something about our customers and suppliers. How suppliers and customers might be affected by the relocation? Any ideas?
A: I’m not certain about what response we may receive from the existing suppliers and customers. The important issue is if the relocation will damage their confidence. Once the company has lost the confidence of the customers and suppliers, it will be very difficult to win it back.
B: Anyway, it is somehow inevitable that the company will lose some old suppliers and customers in the course of relocation. In that event, positive actions need to be taken on the part of the company to restore confidence of the suppliers and Customers.
A: Yes, we should make recommendations not only to boost moral of the employees, but also to attract customers and suppliers. You must use some advertising gimmicks to please the suppliers and customers.
B: Let’s work together to make a good proposal, shall we? First, I would propose that we conduct a survey among the employees to find out views about the relocation, and then we can pick out the thorny problems.
A: Sure. And a customer survey should also be carried out in order to get the possible responses from the suppliers and customers, and after that we can work out solutions to the problems.
B: Well, let’s get started with the findings…解析： 暂无解析 -
第19题：
问答题Discuss, and decide together: ● What kinds of reasons might there be for staff leaving their jobs? ● What steps could be taken to reduce staff turnover?正确答案：
【参考范例】
Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
A: Let’s get started. I think a lot of reasons account for staff leaving their jobs. Among these reasons, the most common one may be that some staff members feel that he/she is earning very little in his/her job. What do you see it?
B: Well, I also think there are several reasons, really. I mean, with employees expanding their horizon their outlook becomes more global. To employees, certain questions may be asked like: What do you enjoy about working here? Over the past year, have you considered about leaving? If so, why is that? What can be done to improve our company and create an even better place to work? Form employees, we are most likely to get answers like they want better training, better working conditions and better communications with their supervisors. And, above all, they want their bosses to “make me feel like I make a difference”.
A: So how can we weigh up all these factors and take appropriate steps to reduce staff turnover?
B: Well, it’s vital that the management knows exactly what they want from staff and that they have a full understanding of their key steps, one of which is linking pay and bonuses with performance. What do you think about it?
A: Yes, it’s difficult to change how things are done. Just like people, bureaucracies fall into bad habits, and the process of adapting to change can be painful. All the departments of the company should do their job well to reform the rules and working environment. So far as I am concerned, most employees are reliable and loyal and they are willing to take hard work.
B: That’s true. Surveys have been conducted recently. They show that when 15,000 employees in retail shops across the country were asked to list the 18 reasons for working where they did in order, they ranked “good pay” third. And “appreciation of work done” is in first place, with “respect for me as a person” second.
A: Therefore, the management need to put high value on staff moral. High labor turnover that results from the indiscriminate hiring of “cheap” workers can cost a lot. Many companies have declared a “war for people” so as to recruit and keep better staff.
B: If correct steps are taken to boost staff moral, labor turnover is bound to decline by more than haft. There is enough evidence that the management should spend more money on retaining employees if they hope to spend less on finding and training new ones.
A: I agree with you. I think, to reduce its labor turnover, we need to get across a simple message throughout our operating divisions, that is loyal, well-motivated employees make customers happy, which in turn, creates bigger profits and happier shareholders. It could also help to improve training of middle manager.. So could a change in bonus arrangements.
B: Meanwhile, the senior managers may become fussier about the people they recruited. They prefer to screen out job applicants who are mainly motivated by money, in other words applicants, who are pejoratively described as “pay first people” by some companies. Such people make up a surprisingly small, yet evidently disruptive, part of the service-industry workforce. Many companies found in its employee-attitude surveys that only about 20% of their workers regarded pay as their principal reason for working there.
A: Probably, you’re right. But people do annoying things out of their own will in exchange for money or entertainment, so they may go for the bait. And many middle managers in service industries are more comfortable managing demands for more money than those for increased recognition and better communications. They will need to change their ways. Well, let’s conclude what we have said and make a decision, shall we?
B: Yes, first we will go over the questions, and then make decisions together.解析： 暂无解析 -

I saw Picasso’s painting Guernica and was greatly shocked by his talent and profundity. He’s different from other painters and his works are very surreal which leaves you space to imagine the theme of his work. From his painting I can view my life from a new perspective and that is why I appreciate him. He inspires me.解析：

Although he’s in a terrible condition he’s the happiest person I’ve ever seen. He used to have complaints about life but he got over them and embraced his situation finally. He travels to schools, churches and a lot of places to inspire people who also have disability. Moreover, he started establishing funds to help more people. My friends and I were so attracted to his charisma and optimistic attitude. We think he’s definitely happier than most of us because he has a grateful heart. His happiness is contagious and some of my friends even write him letters.解析：
