雅思單字:商業

只要題目涉及公司、購物或廣告,商業詞彙就派得上用場。寫作 Task 2 會問:是否應限制 advertisement?大公司是否權力過大?人們是否買了超出需要的東西?口語 Part 3 考官可能問:為什麼某些 brand 如此受歡迎?小店如何與連鎖巨頭競爭?

本詞組整理了商業核心詞彙。機構類型:company、corporation、enterprise、startup;相關人群:entrepreneur、investor、shareholder、consumer、customer、client。customer 指在商店購買商品的顧客,client 通常指購買專業服務(如律師諮詢)的客戶。資金相關:profit、loss、revenue、investment、budget、loan。

市場與競爭是常見主題。用 supply 和 demand 解釋價格,用 competition 和 competitor 描述競爭,用 monopoly 指一家公司壟斷市場,merger 表示兩家公司合併。貿易方面,記住 export、import、retail、wholesale:retail 是面向公眾零售,wholesale 是向其他企業大批量批發。

廣告題需要 marketing、advertise、brand。注意詞族:advertise a product(動詞)、run an advertisement(名詞,一則廣告)、work in advertising(廣告行業)。很多考生把 advertising 當作"一則廣告"使用,這一區別值得專門練習。其他有用的詞對還有 manufacture 與 manufacturer、commerce 與 commercial。

在寫作 Task 1 中,商業詞彙也適用於銷售額、出口或公司利潤相關的圖表。"Revenue from exports rose steadily, while profits from retail fell" 這樣的句子把話題詞與趨勢語言結合起來,正是考官希望看到的組合。

每天用卡片進行簡短練習:今天學的詞明天隔夜複習,之後隨著記憶鞏固間隔越來越長。為了主動運用,挑一家你熟悉的公司,用幾句話說明它如何盈利、競爭對手是誰、如何營銷產品,並使用本詞組的單字。
