?英语应用文写作之便条写法
便条是一种简单的书信。虽然内容简单，但却有其独特的风格。主要目的是为了尽快地把最新的信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点转告给对方。常见的便条有欠条、留言和请
假条等。
特点：
文内语言尽量通俗口语化，简单扼要，直截了当，无需使用客套语言。
便条虽简单，但中心务必突出，更要注明活动的时间及地点。
便条不需邮寄，不用信封。通常请人代为转交。有时可写在留言板和留言簿上。
基本写作格式
便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。但各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素；1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文4）Signature：署名
1. 格式(format)正确 TEM4便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。
具体来说，它应有日期(date)、称呼(salutation)、正文(body)及结尾(ending)，结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary closing)和签名(signature)。1．日期指写便条的日期。英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别，前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角，偶尔也见写在便条的左上角，而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角，即写在签名的下面。英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同，汉语一般先写年，然后再写月、日，而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。例如，2008年4月21日通常写成April 21，2008或April 21st，2008；当然，由于是非正式书信，也可以去掉年份，写成Apl. 2l或April 21st(不过，这种写法，只是最近两年才被TEM4接受)，或者写成21／4／2008或4／21／2008。日期能说明便条的有效度，没有日期，则会使人感到茫然。
2．称呼
称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓，一般都以Dear开头，写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白，顶格写。TEM4试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示。提示中的“you”指的是写便条人，提到的另一方便是收便条人。称呼时，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如Dear Susan，Dear Tom。若此人有头衔(social title)，称呼时，便要保留其头衔，例如Dr．Herce，要称Dear Dr．Pierce，不称Dear Pierce。如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs.Wang或Mr.Wang出现，称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可，即称Dear Mrs. Wang 或Dear Mr. Wang，若只称Dear Wang则视为不妥。当对方为亲属时，在Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可，如Dear Grandpa，Dear Aunt。值得一提的是，近年来TEM4
也接受不带Dear的称呼。称呼后面可用逗号，也可用冒号。
3．正文
正文是写便条人要叙述或谈论的事情，是便条的主要组成部分。一般书信是在称呼下方隔两行处开始写正文。但就TEM4便条而言，一般在称呼的下一行开始写正文便可。正文的首行左边一般留约5个字母宽的空白，但也可顶格写。便条的内容简单、字数少，因此，正文一般只需写一段或两段。若有两段，第二段的首行应与第一段的首行对齐写。
4．结尾如前所述，结尾包括结尾套语和签名。
(1)结尾套语结尾套语的位置一般是在正文最后一行的下面，从便条的中央部分开始，稍向右缩进。当然，若正文的开头是往左顶格写，此时的结尾套语也应往左顶格写。开头字母要大写，末尾要用逗号。结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌，措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定。现分述如下：① 致不熟悉的人，宜用较庄重的套语，如Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，或Sincerely等。② 对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yours respectfully或Respectfully yours。③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用①中提到的较庄重的套语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如，Yours，Love，With love，Best wishes，Best regards等等。⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种：Love，With love，All my love，Yours afectionately，Affectionately yours，Lovingly yours，Yours lovingly，Your loving son(Dad?)；但对亲人，不宜用Sincerely yours~由于TEM4便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情，写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人，因此，TEM4通常只接受Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，Sincerely，或Yours这几种结尾套语。(2)签名即写便条人署名，位于结尾套语下，偏右。若结尾套语是往左顶格写，这时的署名也应往左顶格写。签名也由写便条人和收便条人的关系和亲疏程度而定。有时TEM4指定了写便条人的名字，签名时应采用那个名字。若无指定名字，考生也不宜用自己的真名。一般只需写名不写姓，但若用了较庄重的结尾套语，此时可签全名。
(二)内容完整一般而言，一封理想的TEM4便条应包括以下三点：
(1)写便条的原因；
(2)要告诉的事情；
(3)有关的希望、建议或要求等。
便条写作提示的情况都是与人们日常生活或学习相关的事情。例如，对别人提供的帮助表示感谢，邀请朋友参观书展，因不能准时赴约而表示道歉，把信息转告给朋友等。所提示的内容就是考生要表达的思想内容。思想内容有先后之分，要讲究其逻辑性，还得注意其完整性。生活中有些约定俗成的东西，写作时，应考虑这方面的因素。例如，写道歉信时，一
般都先向对方表示歉意或内疚，同时说明发生疏忽、过失、或错误的原因，提出弥补的办法，这样有利于取得对方的谅解。现以近年一次英语专业四级考试便条写作为例加以说明：该提示是：Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher，Professor Wang．Write him a note of apology and make a request for another meeting．You should also suggest the time for the requested meeting．
仔细阅读这一提示，你就会发现，第一句为第二旬所要求的道歉确定了内容；为了求得对方的谅解，获得另一次会面的机会，你就必须说明前次未能赴约见面的原因。因此，本便条的内容必须包括以下四项：
(1)apologizing for failure to turn up for the appointment，
(2)the reason for failure to turn up，
(3)making a request for another meeting，
(4)suggesting the time for the requested meeting。
其中(3)、(4)为提示中明确要求表达的内容，(1)、(2)则是根据道歉类书信特点而必须表达的内容。内容为便条写作的重头戏。写作时，切莫忽视提示中的任何信息，同时要关注交际中所需的相关信息。当然，在注意提示中的信息时，特别是首句，要注意用自己正确的语言来表达，不能完全抄提示，否则会扣分。
(三)语言得体内容和语言是一个统一体。内容抓住后，应以恰当的语言来表达。
一般来说，便条的语言要简单明了，用词平易。当然，语言风格还应与情景一致，不同的对象，所使用的语言应有所不同。相对来说，对上级、长者、不熟悉的人的语言较为正式，对亲朋好友的语言则较为随便。不过，不管对方是谁，行文中都应体现态度诚恳礼貌。
(四)字数符合要求TEM4便条总字数(包括日期、称呼、结尾在内)的要求是约50—60个字。
尽管在这数字之间还可以少l0字，或多20字，即40-80字，不过，还是篇幅适中为好，以免因显得太短或太长而扣分。二TEM4便条写作中常见的问题便条写作中常见的问题主要表现在格式、内容、语言等方面。
一)格式方面
1．日期部分往往被漏掉，或漏掉日期中年与月、日之间的逗号，或在日期后面加点，或按汉语的顺序写成(如2006年4月22日，写成April 22 2006；April 22，2006．；2006．5．9；其正确形式请参照前文的相应部分)，或按汉语习惯把它写在签名的下面。
2．称呼未往左顶格写，或与日期同写一行；称呼后面打句号，或未打逗号或冒号。把结尾套语和签名同写一行，或漏写结尾套语，或漏掉结尾套语后面的逗号。
二)内容方面
便条的内容虽简单，但漏掉必须表达的内容的情况时有发生。例如，在前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作，考生对未赴约的原因应加以说明，可不少考生只写了如下相似内容的便条：I am very sorry for missing yesterday’s appointment，so I do hope we can make another one．Sunday evening is convenient for me．What about you?内容方面还因理解不透，或自立标准而导致交际不成功的情况也不鲜见。还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例。其中一份这样写道，“I’m very glad to receive your note．About Our appointment I think we can change another time．Maybe tomorrow，1 will be free and stay at home all day．If you are also free tomorrow， you can call me at anytime．Then I will visit you.”该提示要写一封简短的道歉信，而这位考生的答案却与此大相径庭，信中丝毫没有流露出道歉的意念。
三)语言方面便条中的语言错误可分为理解和表达两大类，主要体现在措辞、语法、拼写等方面。
1．措辞不当。措辞不当在这里既指一般遣词造句中出现的语言运用错误(performance errors)，又指因未按TEM4便条测试中提供的语境遣词造句而产生的语用失误(pragmatic failures)，还指因忽视对方的社会或文化背景差异而造成的语用失误。此类问题在TEM4
便条写作中相当严重。我们还是以前文提到的那次TEM4便条写作为例；鉴于篇幅，且举三例：(1) 在I would appreciate you if you could have another meeting with me这句话中，appreciate后面的宾语不妥。只要细心的读者翻阅一下词典，就会发现appreciate(感谢)的英文释义是be grateful for(something)，若把句中的you改为it(代表后面那件事)，或把appreciate改为be grateful to，或把appreciate you改为be grateful，这句话就对了。(2)考生在便条的开头就对因病未能与王教授约会表示道歉后，接着写道：I'm anxious to make an appointment with you．而根据上下文应该是，I'm anxious to make another appointment with you(??与你另订一次约会)。(3)你(写便条人)自己因某种原因而没去赴约，况且约会的对象是你的老师，事后还要命令对方到你家来见你，或以命令的口吻表示要给你打电话。象You must come to my home，或Give me a call to discuss it further 这类话有失礼貌，使人读后感到不舒服。
2．语法错误。便条中的语法错误有多种，常见的有冠词、词性、动词的时与体、句子结构等错误。(1)冠词错误，如I'm anxious to make a(应为an)appointment with you．(2)
词性错误，如I must make an apologize(正确为apology)for failing to turn up for the appo intment．(3)动词的时与体等方面的错误，例如：a．If you will be(应把will be 改为are)free tomorrow, we shall meet again．b．I am sorry to fail(正确为to havefailed 而不是to fail，因事情已发生)to tum up for the appointment yesterday．(4)句子结构错误，例如：I'm very sorry．I didn’t turn up for the appointment with you．Because my mother was seriously ill yesterday and I had to take her to see the doctor(应改为I'm very sorry I didn’t turn up for the appointment with y ou yesterday because my mother was seriously ill and I had to take her to see the doctor)。
3．拼写错误与别的主观题一样，便条写作中拼写错误数见不鲜。例如：
professor-profesor／profesor；convenient- conveint／convinent-convinient；appointment -apointment．
样例
留言: 用书面留下要说的话。留言涉及的方面很多，包括约会，通知，请求等任何可用便条留下的口信。

writing 一、立场观点型 (97年真题) More Pressure from Academic Studies Does Good to Us It has long been a contentious issue as to whether more pressure from academic studies does good to students or not. Some people are of the opinion that pressure makes motive power, while others point out that too much pressure problems. As far as I am concerned, the former opinion holds more weight. For one thing, pressure from academic studies can drive students to work harder. Our college education serves as a preparation phase for future career development. In order to stand out among many competitors, students should learn as much as possible in the college and make themselves to be more prepared for the future jobs. For another, pressure from the academic study is a necessary driving force to those less self-disciplined students. College life leaves, compared to the new life style and become addicted to playing computer games or surfing the Internet all day long. Now, after close examination, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that modest pressure from academic study is useful and necessary. Therefore, as a university student, we should treasure our college life and properly arrange our time. “Play while play, study while study”, as the saying goes.

专四作文写作技巧——如何写好英文便条 英文书信有正式与非正式之分，英文便条为非正式书信。 TEM4( 英语专业四级考试)把写便条(note～writing)列入必考项目之一，其目的是按照((高等院校英语专业英语教学大纲>)的要求，测试英语专业学生在基础阶段末用英语书面表达思想的能力。便条成绩在TEM4笔试成绩中虽只占10%，却如同一面镜子，能反映出学生英语书面交际的能力。有关英文便条写作，国内外学者多有论述(可参见宁有权、刘永军，1999;王崇义，1995;杨俊峰，1997;Aired，Brusaw&Oliu，2000; Bates，1990)。学者们认为，便条是一种简短信函，多使用非正式语体，它的形式比一般书信简单。例如，写便条的人与收便条的人的地址、称呼中“Dear'’一词、日期中的年份以及结尾套语(complimentary close，亦称结束语)，都可以省去;便条正文篇幅可小至一、两句话。可是，~TEM4便条写作而言，并不完全像以上说的那样，它有一定的限制。 英语专业四级考试大纲EM4写便条的要求是，“根据提示写大约50-60~]的通知、便条、请贴等。要求格式正确，语言得体。”英语专业四级考试大纲的要求其实也给TEM4便条制定了评分标准。1TEIM4便条的评分往往从格式、内容、语言、字数这四方面来考虑。因此，要想写好TEM4便条，就必须掌握TEM4便条的基本要求，注意TEM4便条写作中常见的问题，以便对症下药，充分发挥自己的英文写作水平。 一TEM4便条的基本要求 (一) 格式(format)正确TEM4便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。 具体来说，它应有日期(date)、称呼(saluwfion)、正文(body)及结尾(ending)，结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary close)和签名(signature)。 1.日期指写便条的日期。英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别，前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角，偶尔也见写在便条的左上角，而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角，即写在签名的下面。英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同，汉语一般先写年，然后再写月、日，而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。例如，2008年4月21日通常写成April 21，2008或April 21 st，2008;当然，由于是非正式书信，也可以去掉年份，写成Ap l 2l或April 21st(不过，这种写法，只是最近两年才被TEM4接受)，或者写成21/4/2008或4/21/2008。日期能说明便条的有效度，没有日期，则会使人感到茫然。 2.称呼称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓，一般都以Dear开头，写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白，顶格写。TEM4试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示。提示中的“you”指的是写便条人，提到的另一方便是收便条人。称呼时，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如Dear Susan，Dear Tom。若此人有头衔(social title)，称呼时，便要保留其头衔，例如Dr.Herce，要称DearDr.Pierce，不称DearPierce。如果提示中的另一方是以MrsWang或MrWang出现，称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可，即称DearMrsWang或DearMrWang，若只称DearWang则视为不妥。当对方为亲属时，在Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可，如DearGrandpa，DearAunt。值得一提的是，近年来TEM4也接受不带Dear的称呼。称呼后面可用逗号，也可用冒号。
TEM-2011:Should private car owners be taxed for pollution? With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars in order to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows: To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment. Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled. In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment. 272words TEM-2010:Should College Students Hire Cleaners? According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean their dorm and do their laundry every week. Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd. For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one’s laundry are the most

英语专业四级考试之便条写作策略 便条是一种简短的、非正式的书信。它省去了正式书信中的写信人地址、收信人地址，甚至结束语，只留下日期、称呼、正文和签名这四部分。便条的写作目的是为了将简要的话语通过书面的形式传递给对方。 在英语专业四级测试中，每年都有便条写作。根据的新大纲要求，2004年起，便条写作的总分数由原来的5分增加到10分，而写作的时间保持不变。现以2004年的真题为例，进行分析： SECTION B NOTE-WRITING [10MIN] Write ANSWER SHEET TWO a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation: You have got to know that your classmate, Michael, is organizing a weekend excursion for the class. And you are thinking of joining the trip. Write him a note expressing your interest in the excursion and asking for information on two details related
to the excursion. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. 真题的第一行左边为试题名称，指出写作的第二部分为便条写作，右边为规定的写作时间。题目之下分为三段，第一、三段的斜体提示语历年不变，只是从2004年开始加了“ANSWER SHEET TWO”，以指明便条写作的做题之处，以免写错地方。考生一般都可以快速浏览一下，但也不可过于忽视。而中间这段即为设定的场景，也是考生需认真阅读的，它要求考生按照要求写作。 从历年的试题来看，便条的字数、格式基本不变，所以考生在掌握格式后，最主要的任务是认真对待正文内容。现分别对便条的字数、格式及相关要求进行分析说明。 一、字数要求 便条写作的字数要求一般限制在50字至60字之间。考生可以根据个人的行距习惯控制每行的字数，再决定需要写的行数。一定不要写得太多，亦不可字数不够，尽量控制在要求的字数内。
