The Various Skills and Responsibilities of Executive Secretaries
After observing the daily activities of three different executive secretaries, I
have come to realize that these secretaries must possess a wide variety of skills to
do their jobs effectively. Among their most essential skills are the ability to
communicate, an acute sense of organization, and an intimate knowledge of
different types of office equipment.
Communication skills include both oral and written communication, for
executive secretaries must represent their supervisors in many different business
situations. Orally, they are required to speak effectively on the telephone, which
means using proper words and an effective tone. They must also be able to greet
and converse intelligently with each of their supervisor's clients and transmit his
or her instructions accurately and concisely. Their written skills comprise a detailed
knowledge of the rules of grammar and a familiarization with sentence structure.
Duties in this area would include taking notes at meetings and translating rough
notes into accurate and readable prose. It is obvious, then, that executive
secretaries must master a broad range of oral and written communication skills
before they can represent their supervisors properly.
Another important skill that executive secretaries must have is a keen sense
of organization. The day-to-day responsibilities that test this skill would be
arranging transportation and accommodations for their supervisor's out-of-town
visitors, keeping his or her appointment calendar up to date, and arranging staff
meetings and conferences, both inside and outside the building. But perhaps their
most important skill, which comes under the general heading of organization, is
the ability to set priorities. Since they are given a number of various duties, some
requiring immediate action, they must make judgments that provide for their
supervisors' time restrictions. In this way they ensure that their supervisors do not
waste time dealing with unessential information.
Finally, because modern business offices use the latest audio-visual and
electronic equipment, executive secretaries must have“hands-on" knowledge of
this equipment. Making overheads, setting up projectors, and using photocopiers
are some obvious examples, but they must also be familiar with video display
equipment and word processors. Their skills in accessing and transmitting
information effectively will depend on their keeping up with the latest information
technology which, in turn, will increase productivity and lower costs.

2、II. Write an outline. (20 points)
Read the following passage carefully and compose a "sentence outline" for it.
What Technology Has Done to Us
I am not a patient person. As I was waiting for the clevator the other day, I
must have looked at my watch 25 times in one minute. Living in a world of
fast-moving technology, I am used to instant reactions. I push a button, the
elevator should open, right? Ah, this is what technology has done to me.
So, why do we use technological devices so mucb? It saves time and is
convenient. With the Internet, we can receive and send information, communicate
with friends and buy various items all instantly by the click of a mouse. In fact,
our patience level has changed drastically all because of faster connections.
While this technology does make it more convenient to receive information,
sometimes I wonder if all this is too convenient. We take advantage of the speed
so much that if the Internet is not working or the fax machine is not sending
properly, our world seems to shut down temporarily. We simply find it difficult to
function without access to our e-mail or updated news. In fact, technology can
often make us lazy. I cannot possibly spend the time to mail a letter in the
acclaimed snail mail. “Fax it. E-mail it," the world cries. Society seems to revolve
around time as it never did before.
This speed of communication has caused us to be so impatient that we have
grown apart from each other. Our society can practically thrive without physical
contact. Many people have all the required devices already in their homes: a
computer, Internet access, a phone and a fax machine. Does anyone else think it is
scary that a person does not need to even leave his or her bedroom to have fulll
contact with anyone in the world? I think it decreases our value of face-to-face
human contact as a whole. Why visit someone who lives 40 minutes away when
you can e-mail them or chat online? It saves time, yet nothing can replace having
face-to-face conversation with someone.
What about those who have limited access to the Internet or other technology?
They seem to get lost. Sometimes, when I am too busy to check my e-mail or have
no access, I miss out on important information and events that have already taken
place without my knowledge. The common thought seems to be that if you have
an e-mail address, you must check it every hour, right? Sadly, this idea is
becoming truth.
While technology is an essential part of our thriving society, it should be less
emphasized as the only way to communicate efficiently. Instead, accuracy should
be the priority. While the Internet and fax machines are faster, efficiency can have
its drawbacks. They do not always promise accurate information in sending. For
example, these devices might not be the best way to submit important documents,
such as college applications. Also, with the Internet, valuable information, such as
credit card information, can fall into the wrong hands without being detected.
While completely abandoning these communication devices is not feasible,
society needs to be more patient with the inefficiencies of human-made inventions
and of course with human connections.
