专四写作便条范文解析引导语:下面小编就为大家带来专四写作便条范文解析,希望能够帮助到大家,谢谢您的阅读。
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。

2011年专四作文真题范文:便条写作April 20, 2008Dear my friend,The summer vacation is coming next month. I hope you will visit our home town and stay with us. It's very beautiful here with everything in bloom now. If possible, you can come here by the train No. 1010, which will arrive here at 18:00.I am looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.Sincerely,2011年专四作文真题范文Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?私家车主是否应交污染税?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.以下是编辑整理的2011年专四作文真题范文,预祝大家考试顺利通过。

英语专业四级便条写作方法分析及参考范文便条特点:1.构件“简单”:仅有时间、对方称呼、正文、结尾客套语和签名组成。
2.文体“适中”:便条文体通俗,非正式化,可以使用缩略形式,可以使用简单句等。
可以用词随意一些,如“I’m sorry”或者“many thanks”等。
当然,如果便条的内容中,双方地位悬殊或者陌生,使用较为正式的文体也是合理的。
3.内容“凝练”:例如,一个六十多个字的道歉便条,表达的内容包括失约,原因,抱歉,再约四个言语行为浓缩在四句话里,平均使用12个词来表达,非常凝练。
日期:1.写便条的日期,如果题目给出,就写给出的日期,如果没有给出,就写参加考试那天的日期。
2.位置:一般写在便条的右上角。
偶尔也有写在便条的左上角,但是千万不要学中文格式,写在了签名的下面。
3.写法:年写在日月的后面。
月和日与年之间,通常用逗号隔开。
2012年4月21日,通常写成April 21, 2012; April 21st, 2012。
熟人之间也可以去掉年份。
在没有歧义的情况下,21/4/2012和4/21/2012也可以。
基本的是两种:“月日(基数词),年”如:“Apr. 10, 2010”或者“日(序数词)月年”如“1st Apr. 2010”。
稳妥起见,建议使用第一种,避免序数词的疏忽或者误拼,但要记得日年之间有逗号。
月份的写法,除May之外,可以用简写形式。
但要注意,六月Jun.和七月Jul.,为避免缩写的混乱,最好还是写全称。
称呼:对有一定社会距离的人,Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Dear Prof., Dear Mr. Smith, etc..对亲近的人,(Dear)Mary/Mom etc.一般以Dear开头。
写在日期下一两行处,留出左页边空白,顶格写。
考试题中出现的收便条人前加上Dear即可,有头衔时,要加头衔。
例如称呼Dear Dr. Smith,不能称Dear Smith。

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。

�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。
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(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April21,2008或April21st,2008;当然,由于是非正式书信,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,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。
(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。
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 222006;April22,2006.;2006.5.9;其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,1will be free and stay at home all day.If you are also free tomorrow,you can call me at anytime.Then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)。
