PART ONE 短作文
 BEC（中级）写作部分要求考生在45分钟内完成两篇商务英语写作文章，第一篇是短作文：email，memo或 note。第二篇是商务信函，较短的报告或建议书，写作内容非常实用。写作部分要求考生不仅具备一定的英语表达能力，同时具有一定的商务意识，并且了解各种商务写作的格式和要求。

 Memo和note 是公司内部沟通所使用的文体，Email则即可对内也可对外。值得注意的一点是BEC PART ONE 的商务写作一般都是对内的，也就是“internal communication”。这就要求考生在语言风格方面要尽量做到；直接，简明，扼要。语气要较为适中，不易过于正式，注意读者与自己的上下级关系。

 我们以一篇memo为例，谈谈BEC PART ONE的写作。
 
例题：
You are a manager in a large company. You have been informed that a member of your staff often arrives late for work.
Write him a memo about the problem:
Saying how often the member of staff arrives late
Describing the effect on other staff
Suggesting what the member of staff should do about the situation
Write 40-50 words.

 接下来我们来分析两篇考生的分别得分为3分和5分的作文：

Hi, Jones
Nowadays you arrives late for work very often. I feel you may have particular reasons for it. But if you keep going your lateness, other staff in the office may be late like you .I’m worrying about it. How about considering of being more punctual?

总体看来这位考生基本完成了题目的要求，语言风格也基本做到了直接和简明扼要。出现了些并不影响文意的语法错误，例如第一句中的“very often”按照英语的表达习惯应该跟在主语“you”的后面。第二句中的“keep going your lateness”的搭配也不恰当，可以改为“keep being late”。这篇memo的最大问题在于其语气上，显得过去“客气”。例如“I feel you may...”， “I am worrying about it...”，还有“How about considering...”。考生没有考虑到这篇memo的对象是自己的下级，而且是犯了错误的下级，语气完全可以更严厉些。让我们另一篇得到5分满分的考生作文。

Mr Jones,
I have noticed that you often arrive late for work, especially on Monday mornings. As your colleagues are starting to complain about that, you understand that unless this habit changes,I will take disciplinary action against you. Come and see me tomorrow at 9 a.m.. in my office.
Brand 5

这个考生则在语气方面做非常好。“you understand that unless this habit changes,I will take disciplinary action against you”一句很好的一方面体现了作为manager的威信同时也是对员工违纪行为有力的提醒。“Come and see me...”的这个建议也较前一篇更为实用和有可行性。

信息的具体性是商务写作的一大特点，本文在方面也做的也很好，例如“especially on Monday mornings”就非常符合逻辑，也使文章的内容更为丰富和有说服力。

PART TWO 长作文
 BEC（中级）考试写作部分的PART TWO从写作对象上兼顾内外交流，形式为商务信函、商务报告或商务建议。我们以《剑桥bec真题集 (中级)》(人民邮电出版社)中的一道真题为例，解析一下BEC中级写作中的诀窍。
