英语专业四级考试便条题型(Noting-writing)分析及写作技巧

一、便条(Noting-writing)题型分析

便条是一种简单的书信形式,侧重于语言的实用性和功能性,检查考生日常运用语言的实际能力。要求学生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景,确定便条所涉及的内容,如:写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。便条的特点在于内容简短,大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比,便条的语言更为口语化。有急事需告诉别人而又不能面谈时,就可以写便条,如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址,结尾时也无需结尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。便条的日期一般只可写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间。便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。

下面是1991年至2005年全部便条题目,我们可以总结其类型,以便在写作中对症下药。

1991年: A Note to a Friend

Your friend wants to go downtown to buy some Chinese folk music tapes and a jacket. You also want to go into town to do two things. Write a note of 60-80 words to him/her, suggesting some arrangements.

1992年: Your friends want to make a trip to…and you intended to join them in their trip. But now for some reasons you can't go with them. Please state your reasons.

1993年: You, Wang Ling, have just received a note from Zhou Wei, a close friend of yours, inviting you to her birthday party on the coming Saturday. Now write to inform her of your acceptance of the invitation.

1994年: You are supposed to hand in your book report for the Extensive Course on Monday, but you are two days late. Now you are outside Professor Lin's office as you want to hand in your assignment, but he is not in. Write a note to him, apologizing and explaining why you did not give him your work on time.

1995年: Before you leave university you want to sell your bike. Write a note of about 50-60 words describing the condition of your bike, how much you would like for it, and where you can be contacted.

1996年: Your friend has just won the first prize in the Provincial English Speech Contest. Write a note of congratulations. 1997年: You are Peter/Mary. You had a party at your home recently but unintentionally neglected to invite a close friend of yours -- Victoria. Write her a note apologizing for this and explaining how the mistake came about.

1998年: You are Mark or Sally. You have got a ticket to a computer fair, but you now find that you are unable to go. Write a note to your friend, George, explaining why you are sending the enclosed ticket to him and telling him briefly how to get there.

1999年: You've learned that your friend Jimmy is ill these days. Write him a note expressing your concern, asking after his health and giving your best wishes.

2000年: You've read on the notice board that the university library is looking for a part-time library assistant who can work at weekends. You think that your classmate, George, is a suitable person for this vacancy. Write him a note, telling him what you know about the vacancy and trying to persuade him to go for an interview.

2001年: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.

2002年: You have heard that your friend, Jack, wishes to sell his walkman. Write him a note expressing your interest in it, asking him about its condition and offering a price for it.

2003年: Your friend Clare has invited you to her house-warming party this weekend. However, you will be away then. Write her a note politely declining her invitation and expressing our best wishes to her.

2004年: Your friend, Jane, has failed in the final exam, and is feeling very unhappy about it. Write a note to comfort her and give her some encouragement.

2005年: You have got two tickets to a concert given by a famous pop band/orchestra. Write a note to your friend, Hilda/Mike, describing briefly what it is and inviting her/him to come with you.

2006年:You have got to know that you 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.

分析以上题目,我们可以看出,便条的形式没有变化,但是内容却变化不一,包罗万象。有表示问候、祝贺、感谢或发出邀请、接受邀请、道歉、解释原因等。但是,无论哪种形式的便条,都对时间、地点、人物、原因等方面要求严格,必须交代清楚。

三、便条分类及写作技巧

英语专业四级考试中有可能出现的便条写作内容一般与学生的生活相关。便条按照其功能可分为:邀请、祝贺、感谢、道歉、举荐、申请、告示、通知等。但不管哪一类便条都体现出较强的实用性,其目的都是利用简洁的非正规的书面语解决实际生活中的问题。因此,考生面对便条写作,必须仔细审题,明确考题要求,即能够回答这样的问题--我是谁,便条的收件人是谁,我希望收件人看便条后了解什么,去做什么,怎样去做? 便条写作主要考"特定的格式,特定的句式,特定的内容"。特定的格式和特定的句式基本上是"约定俗成"的,学生必须"了然于胸"。如果因不熟悉格式和句式而丢分,就太可惜了。至于特定的内容,便条写作中的提示是至关重要的。提示限定了便条写作的内容和对象,增加或遗漏内容都会导致失分,因此,认真阅读提示并按提示要求来写便条是获得高分的最基本前提。当然,考生也必须具备扎实的写作功底、较高的语言应用能力,才能在这一部分的应试中取得较好的成绩。具体地讲,要注意以下几点:

首先,格式运用正确,不要漏掉日期、称呼、落款等;

其次,语言得体,根据写作者和接受者的关系,运用恰当的语言;

再次,内容完整但不罗嗦,条理清楚合乎题目要求,语法正确;

另外,便条就是留言条,不是信件,开头即可直奔主题,切忌罗嗦,否则,主次颠倒、字数过多就会被扣分;

最后,认真阅读提示中的每项信息,学会将提示中的信息转化成自己的语言,融进便条中,这样,一则便条就会很容易地写出来,而且决不会跑题。

以下将针对英语专业四级考试出题规律,着重介绍几种实用性较强的便条写作方法。

(一)邀请

邀约是日常生活中比较常见的一种交际行为,邀请便条一定要写得明确、完整,不可留下任何疑问使对方捉摸不定。对场合、时间、地点要写具体。在考试中体现这一行为要求的关键词有"invite"等。

A.诚挚邀请对方参加某一活动;

The bag is still in good condition

I just bought it last month, and it can work perfectly well.

We can bargain about the price/ have a face-to-face negotiation about the price.

I will charge only 200 Yuan for it.

B. 求购

In order to improve my listening comprehension, I want to buy a secondhand walkman to study English.

What I care most is whether it is in good condition, rather than how new it is.

I can pay it for at most 50 Yuan.

A Second-hand Bicycle for Sale

July 8, 2002

Dear schoolmates,

I will graduate soon. Before I leave this university I' d like to sell my bicycle. I bought it last year, and it is still in good function. If you have interest in it, you can come to my dorm to see if it satisfies you or not. We can also have a face-to-face discussion about the price. My address is: Room 203, Building 111 and my telephone number is 133********.
