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.

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。
?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
英语专业四级考试写作评分标准(便条) 便条的评分标准 通过以上的标准列表，我们可以看出，便条的写作主要注重的是格式、内容和语言。 考生需要做到格式正确、内容完整、表达得体、字数符合标准。下面我们以2010年的考题为例，对便条的评分标准进行具体的说明： Directions: Your good friend, John, is thinking of organizing an end-of-the-term party. Write him a note telling him that you like his idea and offer to help him. You have to be specific about how you can help him. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. 1．格式：（占2分） 包括日期、称呼和结尾两部分，每部分完全正确得1分，出现任何错误都不得分。分数扣完为止，不倒扣。 1．日期( Date)：1分 正确：April 17th, 2010; April 17,2010; April l7 2010; 17 April 2010; 4/17/2010; 17/4/2010 (Apr也可以，任何一个日期都可以) 位置在右上角或左上角。 2、称呼( Heading)： 正确：(Dear)John:(，)缺标点或标点位置错都扣一分。 位置在日期下面一行左侧。 3．结尾( Ending)： 正确：Yours sincerely,／Yours，／Sincerely yours，，Sincerely,（大小写和标点不计） Mary（或其他人名） 没有Yours sincerely,／Yours,／Sincerely yours，，Sincerely也可以，不扣

专四作文写作技巧——如何写好英文便条
专四作文写作技巧——如何写好英文便条.txt 我不奢望什么，只希望你以后的女人一个不如一个。真怀念小时候啊，天热的时候我也可以像男人一样光膀子！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

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，要称，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
便条写作 关于格式 便条(又称短笺)作为专业英语四级考试对英语应用文(practical writing)的考查点之一，是每年的固定题目。2005年专业四级考试大纲将便条的分值由5分增至10分。分值的增加应当引起我们对这道题目的重视。考试大纲对英语专业写作便条部分的测试要求是:"根据提示写大约50~60词的便条、通知、请帖等。要求做到格式正确，语言得体。考试时间为10分钟。"由此我们可以看出它所涉及的考点是格式和语言得体性。因此我们可以从格式、开篇结尾、表达是否清楚得当以及如何使用委婉语气和敬词这几方面着手进行复习和练习。 便条根据其用途可分成很多类，这里我们着重讲经常考的几类:邀请类便条、致歉类便条、通知类便条、致谢类便条和祝贺类便条。然后我们会以范文的形式解读其他类便条的写作步骤和内容重点。 便条写作是专四写作部分考试中得分很有灵活性的一道题目，既可能得满分，也可能得分很低。其得分高低的关键之一在于格式是否正确。考试大纲对英语专业写作测试要求中提到:"便条写作最主要的是注意格式正确"。因此我们首先要熟练掌握便条写作的格式。 称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后 英文书信由6个部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、谦语和署名。而便条写作有别于普通的书信，属于非正式书信。它的格式非常清晰简单。它的篇幅短小，无需写信内地址，有时也无需写祝词和谦语。如此清晰的格式，我们可以将其简单地总结为:"称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后"。一篇便条作文格式 可用以下简图示意: 1.称呼要顶格，可根据亲疏关系冠以尊称或直呼姓名。可用Dear Sir or Madame，Dear Tom 等正式称呼，也可直呼其名。在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式)，有时也可以用冒号(美国式)。我们习惯上还是用逗号。写给亲人和关系密切的朋友时，用Dear或My Dear再加上表示关系的称呼或直呼其名。例如:My dear mother，Dear Alice等。商务信函用Dear Sir或Gentleman(Gentlemen)。请注意不能出现Dear Gentlemen这种称呼,Gentlemen前不能加Dear。我们也可用头衔或职位等再加姓名。例如:Dear Professor David Smith，Dear Dr.John Wells. 2.日期写在右上角。便条的日期既可写明具体年月日，也可只写星期几，若日期的准确性要求高也可以写明具体时刻。日期可写成Mayll-9005(美国)、llMay，2005(英国)、Mayllth，2005;llthMay，2005等形式。Mayll,2005此种用法最为普遍。 3.正文首行第一个字母缩进四个字母。便条正文位置在称呼语下面隔一行。正文注意不要按汉语习惯问候"Hell0"。首行向右缩进，通常以缩进四个字母为宜，第二行从左面顶格写起，这是缩进的格式。 4.署名签在最后，应在右下角。署名前可视情而定，写Y ours sincerely，Y ours ever，RespectfuIly yours等等以表恭敬之意，也可直接签名。注意一般不要按汉语写信习惯写"Y our be St friend"，"Y our classmate"等称谓。谦语位置低于结束语一至二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始写。另外关于谦语我们还要掌握一定的规则:(对地位高的人或长辈):Respectfully yours，Y ours respectfully(对不太熟悉或应表示客气的人):Y ours truly(亲密的朋友、亲属之间):Affectionately
Note-writing 常见的体裁有告示、祝贺、道歉、请求、拒绝、安慰、留言、邀请等简单的应用文。 便条评分标准 (一)格式 包括日期，称呼和结尾三部分．各占1分 日期、称呼和结尾不符合正确格式或要求均扣1分。结束语和谦语在同一行，人名没有写或用××表示等扣一分，最多扣2分。 （二）内容6分 必须按照便条的具体要求，完整写出各项内容，缺一项就会扣分；语言较差（包括语法和拼写错误）也要扣分．拼写错误超过3个扣2分． 以05年邀请函作文为例： ①描述(2分) ②邀请(2分) ③语言表达(2分) ④首句需用自己正确的语言表达，若完全抄提示扣1分。 ⑤语言表达较差(包括语法和拼写错误)，扣1-3分。 （三）语言 要求语法，词法正确。 严重词法、句法错误扣1分，一个句子或同类错误扣1分，拼写等小错误两个扣1分，最多扣4分。 （四）语言得体性（1分） 总分在8分及以上可考虑加此分。 语言风格与情景不一致，扣1分。(如：Yours truly, Truly yours, if you consent, etc.) 只有语言表达较好才可得分。
评分总体要求： ①语言没有严重错误，格式对，内容完整，语言得体，字数符合要求(<80，>40)，可给9-10分。 ②便条总字数(包括三部分格式在内)要求在50-60字；不到40字或超过80字扣1分。 第一节邀请类 四步： 1.告知There will be… We have held…I want to tell you that… 2.解释in the Beijing Grand theater tomorrow evening 3.询问If you are interested in it 4.确认Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not. 书写要求： 1.时间、地点、场合一定要清楚，不能让对方有疑问。 2.时间要写明年月日并精确到时刻，以保证被邀请者能安排好时间。 正确格式：May 10th, 2010 May 10, 2010 10/5/2010 5/10/2010 场合也要写清楚。 3. 语言应注意礼貌用语，措辞要得体，以表示尊敬。同辈间相对用语轻松；长辈或上级，用语要相对正式，礼貌。例如：Dear Professor Wang, Respected Professor Wang， 格式： *右上方注明日期； *另起一行，最左边写称呼。注意根据关系，选择合适称呼； *另写一行空两格写主体部分。 *最后右下方署名，根据实际关系选择合适的词。正确格式：Yours s incerely (truly, faithfully, respectfully…), Susan 或者： Sincerely (Truly, Faithfully, Respectfully, Affectionately…) y ours, Sally；
