该证书由于其颁发机构的权威性,在英国、英联邦各国及欧洲大多数国家的商业企业部门获得认可,作为确认证书持有者英语能力证明的首选证书。
也是在所有举办该项考试的国家和地区求职的“通行证”。
现在该证书的功能已不仅限于求职,已扩展至进入大学本科学习的语言能力证明。
2.IntroductionofthefourpartsoftheBECexam
BEC共分三个等级:

考试分两个阶段进行。

信尾客套话通常也很简明。
常常只须一个词,如:
“Thanks”,“Best”,“Cheers”,“Bestregards”。
称呼和正文之间,段落之间,正文和信尾客套话之间一般空一行,开头无须空格。
如:
E-mail的非正式的文体特点并不意味它的撰写可以马虎行事,特别是给长辈或上级写信,或者撰写业务信函更是如此。
写完信后,一定要认真检查有无拼写、语法和标点符号的误。
