Report on making more use of technology in HR Department
Introduction
This report sets out to give some recommendations on making more use of technology in HR Department.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The current use of technology in HR Department is not very satisfactory. Each member of staff in HR Department has their computers to facilitate their work, but they never made full use of them. A computer is nothing but a document processor for most of our staff. They only type documents, copy and print them through computers. Some advanced users surf the net to gather information. Besides, our computers are out of date. They are slow when working on complex tasks. That will slow down our work speed.
Suggestions
1. Our old computers should be replaced by up-date ones.
2. Some latest software should be brought in to replace manual work, such as assessing system. All we need to do is putting numbers in, then computers will tell who did the best job and who deserves most money.
3. It is strongly recommended that we should give trainings to employees on how to applying the technology.
Benefits
It may cost us money to update our computers in the short-term.n But it is worth changing with forthcoming enhanced efficiency.
The softwaren can at least double work efficiency. Our staff will be excited and enthusiastic too.

Proposal on Technological Improvements
Introduction
This report aims to assess the current situation of technology being used in the Customer Service Department and recommend some ways of improvements on technology.
Outline
We now use the filing system which can make the files of customers into order, the automatic sound telephone system and the fax.
Improvements
First, we need a new system called “Automatic Reply System”. It can reply all customers’ basic questions automatically by sending e-mails, and it also helps our employees to pay attention to the most general questions. Second, we need to install visual telephones, which are already used by many other companies.
Benefits
The advantages of “Automatic Reply System” are many. It can save time and personal resources. Many customer questions are the same or identical. We could avoid repeating contents and wasting manpower.
The visual telephones can help our staff and customers to see facial expressions, which can make our communications more effective. It also helps us to judge the customers’ personal information and give more human-oriented service.
Conclusion
It is easy to see the importance to take some technological improvements in our department. New technology has already been used by other companies.
Recommendations
We strongly recommend that we should use these new technologies and ensure that they can have positive effects in our work.

考试注意事项
第一步:步入考场
BEC Higher考试在周六的上午九点开始,考生在8:40分进入考场。
由于每个考点都会有很多考生来参加考试,所以你会和别的同学分配到不同的教室里进行考试。那么你凭什么进入这间教室而不是那间教室呢?你会发现你的准考证上已经为你编写了考号,比如CN /′′1 56。在斜杠前面的字母CN是中国的代码,数字表示的是你所报考的考点号是多少;而后面的56就是你的考号了。到了考试当天,你可以按照考场的分布图找到56号应该在哪间教室。要想进入考场还必须凭自己的准考证和能证明自己身份的身份证(或护照等)才能入场。
在找到考试房间后,你还必须要非常冷静的找到自己的座位号才能入座,因为在这种考试中实行的是实名制,即每张答题卡上都印有考生的姓名。如果你坐在了50号的位子上,那么你就会为考号是50的同学回答试卷,而最后到头来你的试卷要么没人答,要么就是一位水平不可预知的同学为你答卷,后果可想而知。
当你确认你所在的地方就是你的考号应该在的地方,那么这时你要将自己随身携带的文具以及准考证和身份证放在桌面上,而要将与考试无关的书本放在考场的前面,并将自己的手机或呼机关掉。
现在你就可以安心准备领取试卷了。
第二步:填写答题卡
每个考场都会有两名中国考官监考。在8:45分左右,考官会宣读考场纪律及注意事项。
到了8:50分左右,考官会发放试卷及答题卡。
首先发到大家手上的是一张上写着BEC Higher Reading Answer Sheet的答题卡,这张是阅读部分的答题卡,共6个部分,正反两面;
当大家拿到这张答题卡的时候,你们首先应该先看答题卡的表头部分,在Candidate Name(考生姓名)的后面会有一个全部大写字母拼写出来的名字,比如有一个考生的姓名是曹益硕,那么在他的答题卡上就会有一个以这样形式出现的名字,即CAO YISHUO。到时候,你的名字也会出现在答题卡上,你的考号也会出现在旁边的方格里,比如0001,即1号考生。
现在,你需要做的工作就是确认这张印着名字的答题卡是不是你的。只要你坐的地方正确,发给你的答题卡就应该是你的,不会有什么问题。如果你要确认的话,你应该查看的信息有:你的姓名是否拼写正确,你的考号是否写对。
(1) 如果姓名的拼写及考号均正确,请在Candidate’s Signature(考生签
名)后面的虚线上签名。
(2) 如果姓名拼写有误,或是准考证上的身份证号有误,都可以举手向
监考老师示意。监考老师会在考试后将你正确的信息做记录,登在剑桥的勘误表上,。等你再拿到成绩的时候,这些相关信息就是正确的了。所以你不用为这一点而感到担心。
那么这里大家还有三点需要注意
(一) 在签名确认时,你必须拿铅笔来确认签字,这在答题卡上也能看到:Use a PENCIL (B or HB)。
(二) 在考号的下面还有方格,有很多同学在各种不同的考试中都会遇到这样的方格,所以就习惯性的将它们涂黑。这里要提醒大家注意:在BEC Higher的考试中你是不需要将它们涂黑的。你只要看看考号是不是你的就可以了。
(三) 在签名确认时,有许多同学会模仿上面的样子都大写自己的名字,这样不叫签名。正确签名的方法是将姓的第一个字母大写,将名的第一个字母大写就可以了。例如:CAO YISHUO(三个字)的签名应该是Cao Yishuo。如果是CAO YI(两个字)的答题卡进行确认时,应该签成是Cao Yi。道理是一样的。
第三步:领取试卷并填写相关内容
在大家将自己的答题卡进行确认签名后,这时监考老师会发放阅读试卷。
在这份试卷的上方都会有这样的信息:
Centre NumberCandidate Number
Candidate Name ___________________ 这时监考老师还会要求你将你的姓名再一次填写在这份试卷上,用的方法还是签名的方式,即姓的首字母和名的首字母大写,而其他字母不用大写。
这之后是一个方框,第一个内容是填写中心考号。到考试当天老师会在黑板上书写出你所报考的考点号,在我们给出的例子中,这个考点的号码是CN196,这时你就将CN196写在这第一个方格里。第二个方格中需要的信息是考生考号。比如你的考号是56号的话,那么你应该写成是0056。请参看下面的样子:我叫曹益硕,我的考号是135号,我报考的考点是CN196。

Candidate Name: Cao Yishuo
CN196

这时离9:00开始考试的时间差不多了,大家要记住第一项考试阅读部分的考试时间为60分钟,你要严格按照考试时间要求,否则有些题目可能会做不完。而且你一定要注意要将所有的答案都填写在答题卡上。因为所有答案都以在答题卡上的为准,如果有的答案还没有来得及填写上,即使你已经在试卷上写上了答案,那也无济于事。
