It started through word of mouth. People ask you to do this as a favor and it really is a job. I found that having children, people assumed that I would be in town more often so they would ask me to watch their house.

Background to the list The BEC Preliminary Vocabulary list was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the BEC Preliminary examination. It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe s Threshold 1990 specification and business-related vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency. The list covers vocabulary appropriate to this level of English and includes receptive vocabulary words that the candidate is expected to understand but which is not the focus of a question and productive vocabulary words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question . The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on BEC Preliminary question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone. How the list is updated Usage of business language can change rapidly as shown by the growth of email correspondence and associated vocabulary in the last ten years. In order to maintain its currency the wordlist is updated on an annual basis by the addition and removal of words using a corpus-based approach. Suggested additions to the wordlist are collated and the frequency of these words is obtained by reference to established corpora electronic databases . The corpora in question represent receptive and productive language in business and general contexts. The main corpora used for the validation of the BEC Preliminary wordlist are the Cambridge Learner corpus CLC which includes over 20 million words of written learner English at six levels the British National Corpus BNC .
