MEMORANDUM

To: Filma Williams ,school of Architecture

From : Ram S. Johnson ,Physical Plant Operations

Subject : Air-conditioning Installation Costs for East Hall.

Date : 4.4.94

As you requested in your memo of March 15, we have studied the costs of installing air conditioning for the seven offices and two studio classrooms in Eest Hall ...example...

Office and Classroom installation

Estimates were obtained from three contractors on the costs of covering the offices and classrooms ...8...The work would take about three weeks.

Because the central unit would be installed on the roof, some noise problems might occur during a four-or five-day period...9... Sheet metal work to build out lest in the classes could be done on weekends , and the overtime labour costs of about $1,500 have been included in the estimates.

Arrangements were not made to do the office space installation on weekends `.. ... 10... ..

Additional Installation

Because a larger installation, including a more powerful central unit, would be necessary to handle the halls and stairways ,an additional $6 , 000 would be required for the equipment. .....11 ... If this additional work were delayed until a later time, a new central unit would be required along with changes in the pipe way ...12...

Summary

the total job for the building would be about $ 35, 000 if done at one time. A two-stage installation would cost about $55 ,000. I can get official bids at your request.

Example: A

A As you suggested, we also sought information on the additional cost of air

conditioning in the entrance halls and stairways.

B All these three were in the $ 20,000 to $25,000 range.

C This later installation would cost about $20,000.

D However, class interruption should be minimal.

E In the same way, each of these three would take at least one month.

F therefore ,the total cost was this $6 ,000 plus another $5,000.

G Labour costs would be an additional S 5 ,000,bringing the total cost of the addition to $11 ,000.

H Each faculty member could expect to have workers in the office for about one day.

I So faculty members can continue their office work as usual.

Williams and Co.

54 Jermyn Street

London SW 1Y 6LX

July, 1993

Manager of Export Sales

Hilton Motorcycles Ltd.

Fenley Works

Dear Sir or Madam :

We received your letter dated 2nd July, expressing your dissatisfaction with the present level of your sales in Nigeria. We shall try to explain as briefly as possible how it is that your competitors are doing so well so that you may see why it is that we are not. We shall also suggest ways of improving the present situation. Our difficulties may be summarized as follows :

1. Your competitors pay for extensive advertising in newspapers and magazines that reach every corner of Nigeria. We receive no financial help for advertising and do not receive sufficient commission to pay for it ourselves.

2. the company referred to in your letter sent a two-man team on a tour of six provinces in a

specially equipped lorry containing the models they wished to publicize. Their agent had arranged displays in the towns they were due to visit and had announced them in the local press. With such backing from the manufacturer ,high sales are inevitable !

3. What sells well in Europe does not necessarily sell well elsewhere. Your competitors know this and plan accordingly. they give maximum publicity to three or four models that are sure to sell well here. We would suggest that you do the same and concentrate on the 98cc Speedy, the 250cc Hunter and the 350cc Hawk.

4. In spite of the excellent containership service between England and West Africa we are still having to wait for too long for orders to be shipped. Once they have placed an order, customers are impatient to receive it. Our present commission of 10/00 does not allow us to undertake sales tours in other regions. Nigeria covers an area of over 350 , 000 square miles and our present commission will not stand the expense of such trips.

If you are prepared to increase our commissions ,contribute to our travel expenses on the longer journeys and back us with advertising. We are convinced that we can do as well as your competitors. We look forward to your comments.

Yours faithfully ,

Williams and Co.

PART TWO

Question 47

(Sample for reference)

How to improve Quality Management System with limited capitals? That is the key to

success. After careful study of IBI Inc 'our main competitor ,we find that they spend some money in Customer Service and Vender inspections which are vital to Quality Management. As we know, softwares are developed quickly. Customers and venders know clearly what they need. Therefore, we should develop programmes based on information through Customer Service and Vender inspections. Another fact with our attention is that although IBI Inc.'s Plant productivity is not high, they can sell out their new, high-quality softwares quickly as they have a very good Quality Control System. Therefore, we should adjust the capitals.

Part Three. Questions 23-30.

As German broad money supply(M3)now seems set to exceed its target for the third year in a row, pressure on the Bundesbank is growing to ignore what Bundesbank president, Mr.Hans Tieteyer, calls an "important intermediate indicator". The Bundesbank itself has been strengthening the hand of critics of monetary targeting by lowering interest rates sharply despite very strong money supply growth in the past six months.

Abandoning M3 now as a signpost for monetary policy would be a grave mistake for at least two reasons. First, there is on convincing evidence so far that the long-run relationship between money supply growth and inflation has ceased to exist. Publicly available independent studies , such as those from the Kiel institute of World Economics , have found some evidence for a short-term disturbance in the demand for money in the wake of German unification. But they have failed to reject the hypothesis that the long-run demand for money has remained stable.

Second, excessive money supply growth has reflected the partial monetary financing of government debt ,which ,if continued ,could threaten the purchasing power of the D-Mark.

In recent months Bundesbank representatives and other observers have attempted to explain the rampant growth of money supply on the basis of portfolio shifts between money and "monetary capital" which means the longer-term liabilities of the credit institutions. It is excluded from M3.

In reality, however, expansion of credit has been driving money supply growth. At the end of 1993, total bank credit amounted to about DM3, 800bn, M3 money to DMI , 900bn, and monetary capital to roughly DMZ , 100bn. With bank credit rising at an annual rate of 10. 3 per cent between the end of 1991 and the end of 1993 ,monetary capital would have to grow substantially above this rate to neutralize the effects of credit growth on M3.

In fact, monetary capital GREw at an annual average rate of only 7. 7 pre cent ,so the annual rise of M3 during this period was 8. 7 per cent.

If the expansion of bank lending had been used to finance investment in future productive capacity ,there would have been little reason to worry.

However, between the second half of 1990 and the second half of 1993, real investment in machinery and equipment in united Germany declined by about 4 per cent. This suggests that most of the credit was used for housing construction and consumption.

An important source of the demand for bank credit was the public sector. Between the end of 1989 and mid-1993 ,public debt rose by 52 per cent. By-the end of 1994 ,the rise will be more than 115 percent. The lion's share of this increase was incurred to finance transfers to east Germany. Since the appetite of German domestic savers for government bonds was not sufficient to absorb the `new debt, the government exported part of it by selling bonds abroad ,and allowed the monetization of another part.

__________________________________________________ What's important when…? 1. Monitoring the quality of service provided Feedback from the customers A: Feedback from the customers is very important because feedback can reflect the opinion of the customers on the quality of your service. To get this feedback a.s.a.p. and analyze it carefully is very helpful. From this feedback you can know what your customers think of your service what they are not satisfied with and how they like you to improve the quality of your service. Once you know what your customers want you will have a clear objective to improve or maintain the quality of your service and your monitoring will be more effective. Checking sales figures A: when we monitor the quality of service provided we must first check our sales figures. Sales figures is one of the most important factors in testing if the service you provide has high quality and if the customers are satisfied with your service. If your sales figures continue to grow that means you succeed in maintaining the quality of your service and your customers are confident when choosing your service. If there is a sudden decrease in your sales figure that will probably mean that you are now in trouble and the quality of your service is declining or undermined by some factors of uncertainty, which means you have to check the whole quality-control system to find out where the problem is. 2. Choosing a new sales agent Experience of agent A: we should first consider the experience of the agent we choose. The more experience the agent has the more chance he or she will have in dealing with sales. An experienced agent has profound knowledge on sales and is very professional in promoting sales and selling goods to customers.

听力部分 考试总时间：40分钟（包括10分钟填写答题卡时间） 第一项：单词填空 实用技巧： 1．力争在第一遍就完成80％以上的缺口，在第二遍时完成并校对所有缺口。 2．缺口顺序完全按照行文顺序。 3．在听力开始之前仔细阅读第一项文字部分，尤其是缺口部分前的字句，理解其意思，因为不要指望说话人会在提及缺口内容之前说出与缺口部分前的字句完全一致的字句。说话人往往说出与缺口部分前字句意思相同的其他表达，包括使用近义词，近义句等。 4．缺口部分包括：单个名词或形容词（通常词形比较复杂）；两个名词构成的结构；一个形容词和一个名词构成的结构；动词加名词的结构；数词 5．缺口是名词（或名词结构）的标志是：缺口前有介词的出现。 6．缺口是形容词的标志是：缺口后有名词的出现。 7．缺口是动词（或动词结构）的标志是：缺口后有介词的出现。 8．缺口是数词（或数词结构）的标志是：缺口前后有number、percentage等提示词的出现。 9．当缺口处单词（或结构）过长时，可以在第一遍时进行速记，第二遍时完成。 10．当确实掌握了缺口处单词的中文意思但又想不出英文时可以用同义词代替。 第二项：多项匹配（令万千考生泪洒考场，痛不欲生！！） 实用技巧： 1．掌握每一选项的中文意思，想象在每一选项表达或描述的情况下说话人可能使用的字句。2．若听到文中内容与某选项完全一致，一般大胆排除该选项。 3．正确选项中的表述与文中某部分内容存在同义关系。（某部分内容或者只是一个单词或词组；或者是一个句子） 4．注意说话人语气。（该方法尤其适用于判断说话人的态度） 5．考生在平时要多了解各种商业场合的语言运用。 第三项：多项选择 实用技巧： 1．所有问题均按照行文的先后顺序进行提问。 2．对于每一个问题，说话人都有明确的提示性的阐述，所以解题的关键是发现和听懂这些提示。 3．提示性词语的使用。一般说话人所使用的提示词有：but；but I think；real…；fact is

BEC中级口语考试：基础篇

BEC中级口语考试：基础篇 1.1第一部分考试形式 (Test format of Part 1) 在第一部分考试中，考官就考生的个人情况或工作、学习情况向其提问，考生作答。然后考官再提问，考生再作答。考官一般会对每个考生进行两轮提问，每一轮三至四个问题，随后转向另一名考生，在两名考生间交替进行，直到规定时满为止，一般大约3 分钟。 这部分考试的特点是：话题涵盖的范围一般比较简单、浅显，不会超出日常会话的范畴，而且大部分话题都比较类似，是由主考官从剑桥大学考试委员会印发的Question List上随机挑选的。考前的充分准备足以保证考生应付大多数问题。而且在第一部分考核过程中，考官提问的问句大部分都是简单句，一般不超过15个单词，清晰易懂。 1.2应试建议 (Tips on how to cope with Part 1) (1)Greet upon entering the exam room. 进入考场后，考生应当充满自信，自然大方地向考官问候致意。话不需多，但自然、新切的问候语，可以给考官留下良好的第一印象。常用的问候语包括： Good morning, sir / miss / madam. Good afternoon, sir / miss / madam. Nice to meet you. （注：有两位男老师在场，可以称呼gentlemen. 有两位女老师在场，可以称呼misses. 有一位男老师和一位女老师在场，可以干脆免去后面的敬呼语，或直接采纳上面第三种问候方式，以免去敬呼语太长、太繁琐的尴尬。Madam 一般用于明显很年长的女教师，否则改用miss，因为女性对年龄认可度比较敏感。） (2)Relax yourself, yet do avoid over relaxing yourself. 大部分考生都有过这样的经历：平时跟同伴一起练口语的时候说得挺流畅的，但一到课堂上回答老师问题时，或是一进入口语考试房间时，所有头脑中的思路都不翼而飞，头脑一片空白。因此，在很多情况下，口语考试表现不好并不是口语水平问题，而是过分紧张导致的发挥失常。因此，平时试着让自己多练练紧张时放松的能力，对于克服进入考场后突然情绪紧张导致的发挥失常很有帮助。 (3)Familiarize yourself with the pronunciation and intonation of the interlocutor and the other candidate. 由于考生来自不同的地域，很多方音重的考生在说英语的时候也同样如此，这在很大程度上会影响其他同一考场的考生的理解和反应。考官尽管发音准确，但因为不熟悉他（她）的语音语调，也有可能造成误解。因此，进入考场后，要尽快熟悉他们的语音语调及语速，以免由于误听导致反应错误。 (4)Be precise in understanding the questions. 考官的提问也好，同伴的问题也好，没听清的情况下切不可盲目作答，一定要问清楚问题是什么。考生要清楚的一点是，BEC口语考试是“口语”考试，而非听力考试，也许没听清对方的问题会影响你的分数，而在没听清问题的情况下盲目作答而导致答非所问，更会真正丢分。在以往的考试中，有些考生由于事先针对第一部分做了充分的准备，因此在考官提问的时候没有全神贯注，而是凭着准备过的问题想当然，背诵事先准备好的答案。这种错误是极不应该的，不仅会给考官留下作弊（cheating ）的不良印象，还会由于听力水平不佳而被扣分。要求对方重述问题的常用句型包括： Pardon, please? I beg your pardon? Sorry, could you please say that again? I’m sorry, but I didn’t quite catch you. Would you please repeat what you’ve
