英语写作关于英⽂便条便笺（便条）和短信⼀、概述 便条也是书信的⼀种形式。
它的特点是内容简短，主要有临时性的询问、留⾔、通知、要求等。
跟正规书信相⽐，便条的语⾔⽐较⼝头化，⽐如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that ...⽽⽆须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that ...开头。
另外，在便条中常出现省略现象，例如：“key to back door is under mat.”或者“key to back door under mat .”(后门钥匙在垫⼦下⾯)代之以“The key to the back door is under the mat.”。
结束时也⽆需结尾礼词，只需写上写便条者姓名。
如果是关系⽐较近的⼈，则只需写上姓或名。
便条的⽇期通常写在右上⾓。
⼀般只写上星期⼏或者星期⼏上午或下午，也可写上午、下午的具体时刻。
⽇常应⽤中，写上⼏⽉⼏⽇的也很普遍。
但⼀般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当⽇或近⽇内要办的事情。
写便条时，不得事先准备，因此⽆固定格式，⼤多⽤⼿写。
⼆、注意事项 1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和各种敬词 2.切忌内容空洞、⾔不达意。
三、分类举例 1）请假（Asking for Leave） 例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words. Please describe this information clearly. 1) the reason you ask for the leave 2) the time and how long you will leave Class 4, Grade 3 Aug. 22nd To Department Office Secretary Li, I’m sorry to apply for ten day’s leave from the Aug. 23rd to Sept, 3rd instant. As I have to leave with the time is urgent. My father now in the hospital is badly ill. I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days. You know I’m the only child in my family. Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application. As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus. Wish for your allowance. Yours respectfully ××× *本⽂是⼀封请假条，⼀般我们要向上级或⽼师请假，通常⽤的是ask for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave. leave在这⾥是名词⽤法，⽂中⽤的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常⽤于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书⾯语中，“Only child”意为“独⽣⼦⼥”相应的，“独⽣⼥”译作“only daughter”⽽“独⽣⼦”译作“only son”. As concern as.后⾯跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，⾄于”与Concerning同意，两者可以互换。
