Note writing（便条写作）1.便条的特点及要求便条是完成介绍、预约、道歉、请求、致谢、投诉等功能的简短的书信形式。

（1）特点A.构件简单（simple）书信由7个部分组成：●发信人信息（包括地址、邮编、写信时间）●收信人信息（如果彼此熟悉，此部分可省去不写）●对收信人的称呼（后边的标点符号一般用逗号）●正文●结尾客套语（之后一定有逗号）●签名（之后一定不能有标点符号）●职务名称（若写信人不是以集体名义写的，此部分不写）而便条相对简短，仅仅由时间、对方称呼、正文、结尾客套语和签名组成。

如便条是以集体名义写的，则要添加职务名称。

（2）文体适中（casual）与书信相比，便条文体的通俗，倾向于非正式化、始终口语化的语言。

●书信中，除了和亲近的、熟悉的人交流，一般不用缩略形式，如I'm,we’re,it’s,couldn’t等。

●一般要用较为正式的、略显复杂的语言结构，即句子完整、复杂而且比较长的句子；而便条不拘泥于此。

●书信中，除了和亲近的、熟悉的人交流，一般用词较正式，如“We are greatlyhonored to write to you”;“witnessed”等；而便条中可以用比较随意的“I’m sorry;many thanks”等等。

但是，以上区别并非绝对，如在双方地位悬殊或非常陌生的情况下，便条用正式的文体也是合理的。

（3）内容凝练（precise and to the point）（4）规矩细腻●日期写法：“月日（基数词），年”法，如Sep.23,2011;或“日（序数词）月年”法，如“23rd Sep.2011”。

为避免失误，建议一般用第一种，注意“日”与“年”之间要用逗号。

月份的写法除五月（May）外，其余均可用简写形式：Jan.,Feb.,Mar.,Apr.,Aug.Sep.,Oct.,Nov.和Dec.等，但考试时写全称保险。

●称呼的写法1）对有一定社会距离、不熟悉的人：Dear Madam，Dear Sir，Dear President，Dear Mr.Smith等；2）对相识的人：Dear Shirley，Dear Smith等；3）对亲近的人或家人：Dear Mom，Dear Dad，Dear Mary等，甚至可以没有Dear一词。

Here is a CD of chamber music, which I think may provide you, a lover of serious music, with some relaxation and soothe your nerves. Call me when you have finished your work, then we can have a hearty talk. Best wishes for the coming year!Yours,Weibo。

I think you are the suitable person for this vacancy, for you are free at weekends and it pays well, yet the job is not difficult. It is also a good chance to improve yourself. So you should go for an interview.2001I’m deeply sorry that I was unable to keep my engagement to meet you. I fear you are displeased at my failing to keep my promise, but I hope you will forgive me, for my mother was suddenly taken sick early yesterday morning, and I had to send her to hospital.I know you’re very busy these days, but I wonder if you could arrange for another appointment me. I look forward to your early reply.2003Thank you for inviting me to your house-warming party this weekend.

I sincerely hope that you have a good day.2004I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do very well in the final exam and I know you must be very unhappy about it.

To learn tennis has long been my dream and the best tennis teacher will be leaving next year. So this is the last chance for me and I would like very much to seize it.Best wishes.2008April 20, 2008 Dear Jane,I heard you want to subscribe to an English–language newspaper. Here I’d like to recommend one to you. Personally, I suggest 21st Century as my favorite, which is designed especially for college students to study English. The topics discussed are close to college life and could arouse our attention. Besides, the new words and expressions are marked, which makes it easier for us to memorize and take notes. 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. And I have just seen an ad for a private English tutor for a schoolboy on the campus. Since you’re good at English and like teaching, I think this job is very suitable for you. It will help you both earn some money and practice yourselves. So please think about it.2010April 17th, 2010 Dear John,I happened to learn that you were throwing an end-of-the-term party next week. That’s really a fascinating idea and I’ve been expecting that for long. I have some balloons and ribbons at hand and I can help you decorate the room. As for the music for the party, I have almost a hundred CDs, so you can drop by when you have time and get those you like.2011April 20, 2008 Dear 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,。
