专四辅导之便条写作(一)便条的写作便条是一种简单的书信形式。
要求考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,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。
有急事需要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,与普通书信基本相同。
结尾时也无需要结尾礼词,只需要写上便条者姓名。
便条的日期通常写在右上角,一般只要写上星期几,也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间;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。
便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
基本写作格式便条内容和类型不尽相同,可以灵活变通。
但必须包括以下四个基本要素;1)Date:便条日期2)Salutation:称呼3)Body:正文4)Signature:署名注意事项1.词句简洁,尽量避免应酬语和敬词2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。
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 the information clearly. 1) the reason you ask for the leave 2) the time and how long you will leaveAug. 22ndSecretary Li,I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ 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同义,两者可以互换。
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。

范文:Will Phones Kill Letter Writing?Telephone is said to be one of the greatest inventions of the world, which has revolutionized people's way of life. Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters, I still don't believe phones will kill letter writing in people's daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Letters, though traditional in a way, help people express their ideas in a more exact way,without the careless tongue slips of telephone conversations. More importantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.” and communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. Therefore, letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job application, nailing down a contract or traveling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless to say that letters are still indispensablenowadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communication purposes and will therefore never be replaced by phones in people's daily life. It's perhaps more appropriate to say that they supplement each other instead of replacing each other.2005年专四作文真题:My Idea of a University Arts Festival我对艺术节的看法——关于校园文化写作指南:此作文题属于自由发挥型。

范文:My Idea of a University Arts FestivalUniversity arts festival has always been a big occasion to display students’ talent in art as well as to cultivate their artistic taste. Therefore, to make the incoming arts festival more fruitful, I personally think it should include two parts: one is to organize some art activities among students such as singing, painting, photography, recitation or short play contests, and the other is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stage excellent performances of ballet, orchestra or drama for our students.As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way, there are mainly two reasons: to develop students’ artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By participating in art contests, students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation, rehearsal and competition. Thus those activities encourage students to get involved in art activities, which is not readily accessible to them in normal times. Such an intimate contact with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate it properly, which will refine their artistic taste in the long run.Since my idea of arts festival integrate s training students’ artistic ability with improving their aesthetic taste, I believe it will go a long way in art education, which is also the ultimate aim of university arts festival.2006年专四作文真题:Saving Money is a Good Habit省钱是好习惯——关于个人生活写作指南:这是典型的立场观点选择题型。
