BEC即劍橋商務(wù)英語證書考試，是劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會(UCLES)設(shè)立的。很多人誤認為BEC考試針對是那些學(xué)與商務(wù)有關(guān)的專業(yè)人員的，其實不然。因為無論你學(xué)的專業(yè)是什么，都要在某個特定的商務(wù)環(huán)境中運用，BEC考查的正是這種普遍存在的商務(wù)環(huán)境中應(yīng)具備的通識與能力。劍橋大學(xué)考試委員會設(shè)立BEC考試的目的是在全球范圍內(nèi)建立一個測試商界雇員英語水平的統(tǒng)一標準，使BEC證書被跨國公司和非英語國家的大公司用作商務(wù)英語測試標準，以評估在真實商務(wù)環(huán)境下雇員的英語水平，使人力資源部門能準確評估雇員商務(wù)英語的運用技能。因此，與我國的四、六級考試相比較，BEC考試更側(cè)重對英語實際運用能力的考查。換句話說，BEC中的考查內(nèi)容都是可以馬上拿到實際工作中去的，不會出現(xiàn)所謂高分低能現(xiàn)象。
A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學(xué)). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經(jīng)驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
