英语专业四级考试作文———便条三江大学英语系余丽华在英语专业四级考试的六大部分，即听写，听力理解，完形填空，语法和词汇，阅读以及写作中，写作占据了25％的比重，其中便条的写作是10％的比重。

便条写作是英语应用文写作的一部分，它有其一定的写作规范要求，并且针对不同的写作目的，都有一些常见常用的句型，就此我简单对这些句型作了一个总结，附上一些范文，可供大家参阅。

要了解便条的结构，首先我们可以先了解一下书信的写作结构。

一般书信的结构由上而下：信头(Heading, 发信人地址和日期在右上角)、收信人姓名和地址(Inside Address，Introductory Address；在左上)、称呼(Salutation)、信的正文(Body of the Letter)、结束语(Complimentary Close)、签名(Signature)、附件(Enclosure，简写为Encl., Enc.)、再启(Postscript，简写为P.S.)，其中前六项是书信的主要部分，一般不可缺少；最后两项是否需要，则视情况而定。

亲戚朋友间的私人信件也可酌情省略第一二两项。

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。

主要目的是为了把最信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点简明地告之对方。

常见的便条有留言，请假条，邀请信及回函，通知，感谢信，祝贺信等。

特点：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；中心内容务必突出，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；有时可写在留言板或留言簿上。

基本写作格式：便条内容和类型不尽相同，格式可以灵活变通。

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：签名。

I’ve benefited a lot from reading this newspaper and I believe it can also help you improve your English.Sincerely yours,XXX2009I know you’re looking for a part-time job in the coming summer vacation.
