这是一个讨论而不是角色表演，所以考生既不能只顾自己一个人说，也不能只对考官说，而是应该与另一个考生合作讨论。
仔细听对方说活，当考生没听清或没听懂对方的讲话时，不要不懂装懂，你完全可以要求对方说慢一点，重复或解释一下;另一方面，你也有责任帮助对方听懂你的话，否则，你们两个人不可能讨论下去。
积极参与讨论，谈话中尽量采取主动，不能总是被动地跟着对方说或者依賴对方的提醒帮助。
要给同伴说话的机会，不能己大包大揽唱独角戏。
控制好时间，不要离题太远，建议只问一些与讨论的题目相关的问题。
第三部分是考生之间的对话，考生之间的合作直接决定该题的得分。只有双方积极合作，互相促进，才能使对话顺利进行，否则就是自问自答或陷入难堪的沉默。
报考BEC中级考试的朋友们，敢问大家现阶段复习的如何了?如果你想裸考就能通过考试的话，这种可能性很低很低，除非你是天才。所以，想要顺利拿下考试，还得脚踏实地的复习。

《The Myth of the Paperless Office》，无纸化办公室神话。讲的是新技术对现代办公的影响。
34题，meeting在这里不是特殊指代，只是叙述的一般情况。不需要使用定冠词the。
35题，正确的
36题，和上面的部分联系起来作为一个整体来考虑。paper, having already survived five thousand years of technological change, and has proved remarkably 中间的部分是插入语，可以不考虑，所以完整的应该是paper has proved remarkably resilient。主谓宾非常齐全，and是多余的。resilient是适应力强的，有弹力的。
37题，used在这里是后置定语，修饰前面的paper，意思是每年使用的纸的总数，不需要for。
38题，持续增长，用rise，rise up是起义的意思。
39题，the amount consumed in the UK，consumed也是后置定语，表示英国的消费总量。it多余。
40题，正确的
41题，in most people’s eyes在大多数人的眼里，of多余。
42题，正确的
43题，might have done表示可能已经做了某事，而这里的意思是指电子邮件等可能会被删除，不用have，去掉。
44题，Paul Blunt, a marketing manager for desktop products, who says there has been significant progress。中间的部分是插入成分，不予考虑。完整的是Paul Blunt (who) says there has been significant 主语是人，谓语是says，后面是宾语，成分齐全，who是多余的。
45题，the transition between has been more of an evolution than a 依然是一个完整的句子，成分齐全，transition是主语，has been是谓语，between是多余的。

BEC中级口语考试的第三部分是两个考生之间进行的双向交流讨论，有时也会在三个考生间进行。它是一个合作项目，需要考生互相配合来完成任务。考官根据指导语说明任务要求后会将两个考生共用的材料发给考生，要求考生交谈。然后，考生将围绕试题卡上的问题逬行三分钟的对话。在考生交谈完后，考官会进一步问考生一些与主题相关的问题。这一部分涉及公司活动和公司决策的方方面面，主要是考查考生用适当的功能语言和策略进行互动交流的能力。

《Business Meeting》，商业会议。文章一共两段，第一段说开会要按照日程安排来进行，第二段说开会要尽量让大家发言，尤其是在会议上沉默寡言的人。
19题，这一题可能会选择arrangement。order和arrangement的中文意思也的确很相像。只有看英文的意思来进行理解。Order:A sequence or arrangement of successive 一系列连续事情的安排。因为这里的意思是保持日程表上的安排，日程表上的安排井井有条且有秩序，应该选择order，比arrangement更合适。
20题，there is no point in doing 做什么事情没有意义。
21题，目录2上的事情还没有处理就谈论日程表上的目录6是没有意义的。选dealt with。cater for是迎合的意思。
22题，这种偏差(指前面说的目录2没完就讨论目录6)会导致开会的人产生混乱。选result in，导致。
23题，如果他们认为什么是不相关的，就会注意力不集中。lose concentration是地道标准的说法，参考一个例句：I was absent minded and lose concentration very
24题，建立一些基本规则。地道的用法就是establish the rules。form rules是指表单规则，design rules是指设计规则。
25题，把自己的评论限制在讨论的话题之下。restrict to限制
26题，主席可以鼓励每个人分别说一会。重点在于理解词组at a time的含义：separately in the specified groups or numbers。看一个例句：He took the stairs two at a
27题，这里考察的是note一个不太常见的用法：to give your attention to something by discussing it or making a written record of it。正好和前面动词discuss相对应，而且做笔记这一点也符合会议的特点。不选remark，因为是开会，更多的是发言、讨论、记笔记，而不是评论。
28题，put forward: suggest, propose 提出。
29题，decision-making process，做决定的过程。
30题，这样可以确保沉默的人在会上也能有发言权。用ensure。不是allow和permit，一直都是允许的，只是没有一个保证的程序。
31题，拥有发言权。say在这里是发言权的意思，动词用have。参考牛津高阶词典上的例句：Can't you keep quiet for a minute and let me have my say? / The judge usually has the final
have a say in: To have the right to express one's opinion or cast a vote in a pending
Our boss is friendly and democratic; he always encourages us to have a say in what we will do
32题，in reality在现实中。in contrast对比，in case万一。
33题，往往会上沉默的人能想出好点子，因为他们养成了开口前思考的习惯。in the habit of有什么习惯。固定搭配。

不要沉迷于昨日的成功
Today's advice comes from Autodesk CEO Carl Bass:
今天的嘉宾是Autodesk 首席执行官Carl Bass：
"I think it’s real easy as a leader to confusewhat the results are today with the actions that happened a while ago, BECause then you just start "
“我认为作为领导者真的很容易混淆过去的行为与该行为所产生的结果，那就意味着你已经开始走下坡路了。”
Bass says the problem is that companies use factors like revenueand profit to measure their success, but it's possible that these things are still positive even after a company has lost its original
Bass表示，问题就在于公司总是在用绩效和收益来衡量公司的成功与否。但是，计时在公司出现问题之后，这些东西可能还是显示良好。
"I’ve been spending a lot more time trying to quantifyor figure out if what we’re doing is right, or whether what we’re really doing is just celebrating the result of things that happened a while "
“一直以来，我都花大量的时间尝试着确定或指出是否我们在做的事情是正确的，或者是否我们真正在做的只是在享受之前的成果。”
