Staff appraisals

Good preparation for staff appraisals can pay dividends in terms of staff loyalty and managers, particularly those running smaller companies, feel they are too busy to give their employees appraisals, and many staff clearly dread them. (0) ........... They provide the opportunity for the manager to have one-to-one discussions with an employee and find out about any concerns, as well as identifying training needs and discovering career aspirations. They can make a staff member feel valued and so build loyalty.

The annual appraisal can either be a rewarding or painful experience. According to research carried out among 500 employees, the standard office appraisal is far from perfect.(8) possible outcome for the company is even worse; up to a quarter of employees will look for a new job within two weeks of a bad appraisal and 40% within a month.

The quality of the appraisal lies with how the boss decides to carry it out. When it is done well, employees are able to use the feedback they receive to improve their performance. (9) how should a constructive appraisal be carried out? According to Andrew Gillingham, a consultant trainer, appraisals can be manager-led, with the appraiser preparing a document and sharing it with the employee. Establishing training needs and motivating the employee towards bigger and better things are part of this process. (10) ............. In both cases, Gillingham believes that the effectiveness of the appraisal discussion can determine the performance of the company.

Gillingham believes that anyone who thinks it's just the employee who doesn't like the appraisal experience has got it wrong. Too many managers regard appraisals as a waste of time.(11) ging people is a difficult matter, and without the necessary training, many managers try to avoid the uncomfortable issues that often need to be discussed at appraisals.

Gillingham believes that calling the process an appraisal may be unhelpful.(12) either case, it is important to ensure that the meeting is successful and results in better quality management. Gillingham firmly believes that the main thing is to emphasise an open communications ethos in the workplace that gives staff a chance to talk about issues and feel valued.

A Alternatively, managers may want the employees themselves to evaluate their work performance.

B In larger companies, the people likeiy to do something with this information will be found in the HR department.

C. Problems such as rushing through the appraisal and being appraised by a manager who doesn't understand the employee's role were common concerns.

D Arguably, 'performance review' is more appropriate since it helps create correct expectations from the meeting and indicates what will happen.

E This is mainly because they have not been shown how to carry out appraisals properly.

F But all too often, the format of the appraisal doesn't allow this.

G But this can be avoided and, given a more positive attitude from participants, appraisals can prove enormously useful for all involved.

《Staff appraisals》，員工評估。很多公司的員工和經理都害怕評估，但是好的評估可以增進員工的忠誠度和滿意感，給公司帶來益處。

第八題，前面說年度評估可能是個有用的或者是痛苦的經歷。但是根據調查，標準的年度評估效果卻不盡如人意。那麼正常來講，後面應該接着說評估不好(far from perfect)的原因或者是表現。C選項講的是表現(problems)，E選項雖然有because，但是不是講的評估不好的原因。選C，正好和後面也對的上。出了問題，才使得後果更加嚴重(the possible outcome is even worse)。

第九題，也需要理順上下文的邏輯關係。前面說評估的質量取決於老闆決定怎麼去執行。如果進行的好的話員工會根據收到的反饋來改進他們的表現。空格後面一個SO，問到怎麼樣讓一個有建設性的評估被實行?那麼前面的內容多少有點轉折的意思。實行的好對改進員工的表現有好處，可實行的不好呢?邏輯上看，這裏應該填入評估如果被執行的不好的話會怎麼樣，或者說影響實行的一些因素，所以後面纔會問到該怎麼去執行。從給出的幾個選項，F是最符合這一特徵的：評估的格式不允許這個(指根據反饋的結果改進表現)。中華考試網

第十題，接着上面講評估的具體方法。空格的前面講評估都是manager-led，並且介紹了一些過程。空格後面有in both cases，可以看出空格這裏應該填入評估的另一種方法，和manager-led對應的。選項A最符合條件：經理們可能想要員工們自己評價自己的工作表現。alternatively這個連詞是個暗示。

第十一題，前面說很多經理視評估爲浪費時間。後面說如果沒有必要的訓練，很多經理都會迴避那些需要在評估上討論的讓人不舒服的話題。E選項可以對應於上下文：那主要是因爲他們並沒有被演示怎麼正確的進行評估。因爲沒有接受訓練纔不理解，纔會認爲是浪費時間。have not been shown也就是without the necessary training。

第十二題，這一空是最明顯的。叫評估不合適，那就換個名字吧，選D，叫“performance review”。

　　BEC高級一針見血閱讀技巧

商務英語證書(BEC)考試近年來被各類涉外企業、部門用來作爲招收職員時英語能力的證明;同時也是商務工作人員或英語學習者檢驗、提高英語水平的方式。由於很多即將進入職場的學生或已工作的青年把該證書作爲就業、求職的重要砝碼，因此BEC考試也被稱爲"商務求職通行證"。

自2002年5月BEC考試採用新題型以來，BECVantage閱讀與BECHigher閱讀相比，只是少了單詞填空這一部分，其餘題型完全一致。然而要求在1小時內做完6部分共50多題並獲得高分，難度就很高。針對BECHigher閱讀六個部分簡要地談談各部分題型的最佳解題方法和平時複習迎考策略。

5篇100字左右的小短文，8個選項，選擇出各個選項屬於哪篇短文論述的內容。這部分主要是考查考生迅速找出短文MainIdea的能力。正確的做題方法是先讀提示第一句，把握5篇短文共同論述的大致範圍。然後直接閱讀短文。閱讀的時候，用筆在考卷上劃出"一箇中心，兩個基本點"。"一箇中心"指短文的中心思想MainIdea。"兩個基本點"是除MainIdea以外重要的、十分特殊的論點。從5篇短文中找出15個左右的考點，解題的速度可大大提高。

這部分對我國考生而言有很高的難度，因爲它考查了中國人說話寫文章最缺少嚴密的邏輯性。西文，尤其是商務文章極其講究邏輯的縝密性，中心思想明確，意羣(段)之間有清晰的邏輯關係，句與句之間緊密相連。知道了這樣的思維差異，在解題時便有了方向：通過各種銜接手段來解題。詞彙的銜接、語法的銜接，最重要的是邏輯上的銜接。其實，任何兩句話之間的邏輯關係不外乎兩種情況：不是順着意思講下去(順接)就是意思發生了轉折(逆接)。判斷空格前後句之間的順逆接關係，再尋找正確的選項解題就容易多了。平時考生在做閱讀訓練的時候要特別注意句子之間的邏輯關係。

■閱讀理解題：跳躍式閱讀

這部分其實是前兩部分的綜合。在讀文章時只需抓住文章和各段的MainIdea即可，有較強閱讀能力的考生儘可能地快速讀出句子之間的邏輯關係，而細節內容一律略去。用這種"跳躍式閱讀法"效果很好。解題時，學生要放鬆心態，因爲題目不難，只是在做一個"定位+同義詞、近義詞"遊戲罷了。值得注意的是這部分與四六級及考研閱讀理解題不同，BEC閱讀理解題目不能過細地去推敲，正確選項一般都是原句+改寫。

■完型填空題：習慣用法結合語境

考點詞彙一般不是商務術語，是四級以下的普通詞彙。大多題目較容易，有個別題目較難。學生應該從搭配、習慣用法結合語境的方法解題。不過，想在此部分得滿分是極難的。考生不要輕信自己的語感，這種感覺可能是錯覺，真正的語感是以長期積累的實力爲基礎的。

■語法題：牢記BEC知識點

沒有必要去把語法知識詳細完全地進行復習，而只需將BEC經常考覈的知識點簡要地總結並牢記在大腦裏就可以了。BEC語法題歷年考試所涉及的語法點十分有限。"名稱記不清，記憶像猩猩"---牢記住考點語法名稱，完全可以在這兩部分獲得滿分。
