Part 2 Secretarial writingNotice of meetingThe different forms of notice of meeting and examples: Notice of meeting on the blackboard or bulletin board:Notice of meeting in memo:Notice of meeting of an international symposiumLook at the examples on the book of page 58, compare the differences between the English version and the Chinese version in both layout and contents.Writing of Minutes of meetingThe heading of minutes:A meeting is usually of a particular body, e.g. Board of Directors, Department, Finance Committee etc, so the heading should indicate in some way WHAT meeting this is. The heading of minutes is like this: Minutes of the meeting of the Finance Committee held on…MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGBOARD OF DIRECTORS--Minutes of meeting held on…The generic structure of minutes:The minutes of meeting include:1 What the meeting was about(heading)2 When and where the meeting was held(time & place)3 Who attend the meeting(presiding, present, absent)4 What happened at the meeting(agenda & activities)The format of minutes of meeting:[layout 1][layout 2]Past tense and passive voice in minutes:Past tense and passive voice are often used in minutes, for example: ◆ The Minutes of the meeting held on 21 January 1999 were agreed andsigned.◆ The Continuing Education Schemes of Study were discussed and thefollowing observations were made:◆ A letter received by Alwyn Roberts from the Welsh Funding Councilwas noted.◆ Staff member were recommended to submit as many orders as possible.◆ The testing results were examined and found in the conformity tothe specifications stated.◆ After some discussions, it was decided that…Reported speech in minutes:Reported speech is another distinct feature of minutes, it will be usedin the following examples:notedbelievedobserved/ maintainedSb.

They make specific information a matter of record. They serve as legal documents that can be referred to and used as the basis for review and action or as a source material. It is a record of joint efforts and negotiations between the two parties concerning the cooperation in manufacturing and selling of a brand product. It has the function as a Letter of Intent, which will serve as the basis for the signing of a format contract.Functions of memos:1 Memos record policies, decisions and action items agreed to at a meeting or conference. They provide summaries of meetings for participants as well as for those who are absent.2 Memos serve as an effective medium of office communication. They provide an easy channel through which the executive and the stall communicate with each other. On the one hand, the executives can inform staff of policies, procedures, and actions. On the other hand, staff can report to the superior, to make proposals or to ask for comments, approval and instructions. Staff member may also use the memo to brief each other on new developments or to make comments or requests. Communicating through memos saves time and avoids lengthy conversations.3 Memos may also be sent to individuals both inside or outside the institution to confirm the understandings reached after a telephone conversation or an interview, especially when the matter concerned isimportant.The format of memos:Writing practice:Write a short memo for the following purpose.to call a meeting of your staffto warn employees that they will be penalized for negligence of fire precaution measuresto recommend a raise in salary for an employeeto announce the retirement of 2 long-term employeesto request suggestions from employees for improving the quality of productionClassification of business reports:Informal & analyticAn informal report contains facts. It presents a situation as it is, not as it should be. The writer does not include his own opinions, nor does he offer his conclusions or recommendation.An analytic report contains not only facts but also analysis of the facts and the writer’s conclusions or recommendations. The analytic report is frequently the basis for an important company decision. Thus the writer shoulders great responsibility. An analytic report might call for the writer’s recommendations on how a new product could be successful marketed, on how a company’s assembly line could be speed up, or how a specific aspect or management could be improved. Informal & formalA formal report, is often organized according to a standard format, such as having a title page, an introduction, a section of detailed discussions.A formal report is often accompanied by a covering letter, which serves to transmit the report from the writer to the reader. It consists of a short message, almost perfunctory in nature.The organizational pattern of business reports:A typical business report is made up of three parts:Introduction: stating briefly the purpose of writing and/or thecircumstances under which the report has beenprepared.Discussion: exploring relevant issues, such as presentingfacts, analyzing statistics and data, anddiscussing implications.Conclusion: summarizing the result of the discussion and makingrecommendations.Business report in contrast with memos:A memo is a short, covering one specific item—giving instructions, Making requests…etc.A report, generally covers broader topics, such as plans for a new product or a study of a problem like declining sales…etc. They are different in genres and have different structure.Business report in contrast with science/ research reports:The form and content of a research report:◆TITLE◆ABSTRACT (vary from 200to 500 words, including a statement of thepurpose of the project, methods and procedures used and principle findings and conclusions)◆INTRODUCTION( a review of other people’s findings, which willexplain your motives for undertaking the project)◆SCOPE OF RESEARCH(which should be clearly stated and defined, whetheryou are searching for or testing hypotheses, suggesting a theory, or merely reporting some observations made under clearly specific conditions.◆METHOD AND PROCEDURES( a detailed description of the methods oranalytical frame work, the steps of research, as well as the equipment and conditions or any other factors which could effect the outcome of research)◆FIDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS(numerical data and other statistics,usually presented in the form of tables)◆ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA◆CONCLUSIONS(such as re-examining the hypothesis, to be rejected ifthe data show it to be wrong; or to be accepted if supported by the research.)◆IMPLICATIONS(a discussion of how your research may provide a betterunderstanding of a board are of science)Writing practiceBased on your own experience write a report.Layout of an itinerary:Verbs forms in itineraries:Details of planned activities in an itinerary are rarely given in full sentences; usually they are presented in verbs phrases. For example: Leave Beijing International Airport for San FranciscoArrive at San Francisco International AirportMet by Mr. T. Keith and Miss Louis Lowes and transferred to Holiday Inn Dinner at hotelMeeting with Mr. Antonio…Essential quality in writing itineraries:In preparing an itinerary, you need to find out information about: a)Details of each departure, arrival, and intermediate stops,including exact time, date and placesb)Dates and detailed schedules of talks/meetings, appointments,functions or events if they are included in the programme.c)Special interests of the individual/delegation, such as places tosee, or other requests.The most important quality for an itinerary is ACCURACY, which means that all details are accurate and clear, to ensure this, you should: a)Be sure to indicate clearly the DATE and TIME of each departure andarrival. Use the 24-hour clock for time and avoid confusion. Providea note as to whether the time is local time or not.b)Name the airport or station for each departure/arrival, especiallywhen there is more than one in the city.c)Indicate the type of transport used. Give the name of the airlineand flight number in air travel. Give train number if rail transport is used.d)Give details of the hotel if service is provided, including detailedaddress, telephone number, room category and number as well as information about catering service.e)In listing planned activities, check every detail and languageexpression to make sure that no confusion will arise.Writing practice:Write an itinerary according to the following items:a)由当地导游接至北京饭店,客房已定b)出席使馆招待会c)由张先生带领观光,游览景点包括……d)商务会谈e)拜见(约会)公司总经理f)与进出口部经理会谈g)由副市长陪同参观高科技工业园h)出席总经理在国际饭店的告别宴i)不安排Layout of different kinds of notes: Telephone slip:Visitor slip:Message slip:Mechanics of note writing:a)Notes are simpler in form as compared with letters.

Part 2 Secretarial writingNotice of meetingThe different forms of notice of meeting and examples: Notice of meeting on the blackboard or bulletin board:Notice of meeting in memo:Notice of meeting of an international symposiumLook at the examples on the book of page 58, compare the differences between the English version and the Chinese version in both layout and contents.Writing of Minutes of meetingThe heading of minutes:A meeting is usually of a particular body, e.g. Board of Directors, Department, Finance Committee etc, so the heading should indicate in some way WHAT meeting this is. The heading of minutes is like this: Minutes of the meeting of the Finance Committee held on…MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGBOARD OF DIRECTORS--Minutes of meeting held on…The generic structure of minutes:The minutes of meeting include:1 What the meeting was about(heading)2 When and where the meeting was held(time & place)3 Who attend the meeting(presiding, present, absent)4 What happened at the meeting(agenda & activities)The format of minutes of meeting:[layout 1][layout 2]Past tense and passive voice in minutes:Past tense and passive voice are often used in minutes, for example: ◆ The Minutes of the meeting held on 21 January 1999 were agreed andsigned.◆ The Continuing Education Schemes of Study were discussed and thefollowing observations were made:◆ A letter received by Alwyn Roberts from the Welsh Funding Councilwas noted.◆ Staff member were recommended to submit as many orders as possible.◆ The testing results were examined and found in the conformity tothe specifications stated.◆ After some discussions, it was decided that…Reported speech in minutes:Reported speech is another distinct feature of minutes, it will be usedin the following examples:notedbelievedobserved/ maintainedSb. Admitted/denied that …Insisted that…called attention to…suggested/proposed/recommend… etc.Amendments in minutes:Making amendments is difficult in wording, following are some examples used in making amendments:deleteshould be deleted to read……the specific line/word delete as irrelevant/inapplicablenot applicable and should therefore deletedMemoranda and office memosFunctions of memoranda:Memoranda are drawn up in legal language and signed by both parties. They make specific information a matter of record. They serve as legal documents that can be referred to and used as the basis for review and action or as a source material. It is a record of joint efforts and negotiations between the two parties concerning the cooperation in manufacturing and selling of a brand product. It has the function as a Letter of Intent, which will serve as the basis for the signing of a format contract.Functions of memos:1 Memos record policies, decisions and action items agreed to at a meeting or conference. They provide summaries of meetings for participants as well as for those who are absent.2 Memos serve as an effective medium of office communication. They provide an easy channel through which the executive and the stall communicate with each other. On the one hand, the executives can inform staff of policies, procedures, and actions. On the other hand, staff can report to the superior, to make proposals or to ask for comments, approval and instructions. Staff member may also use the memo to brief each other on new developments or to make comments or requests. Communicating through memos saves time and avoids lengthy conversations.3 Memos may also be sent to individuals both inside or outside the institution to confirm the understandings reached after a telephone conversation or an interview, especially when the matter concerned isimportant.The format of memos:Writing practice:Write a short memo for the following purpose.to call a meeting of your staffto warn employees that they will be penalized for negligence of fire precaution measuresto recommend a raise in salary for an employeeto announce the retirement of 2 long-term employeesto request suggestions from employees for improving the quality of productionClassification of business reports:Informal & analyticAn informal report contains facts. It presents a situation as it is, not as it should be. The writer does not include his own opinions, nor does he offer his conclusions or recommendation.An analytic report contains not only facts but also analysis of the facts and the writer’s conclusions or recommendations. The analytic report is frequently the basis for an important company decision. Thus the writer shoulders great responsibility. An analytic report might call for the writer’s recommendations on how a new product could be successful marketed, on how a company’s assembly line could be speed up, or how a specific aspect or management could be improved. Informal & formalA formal report, is often organized according to a standard format, such as having a title page, an introduction, a section of detailed discussions.A formal report is often accompanied by a covering letter, which serves to transmit the report from the writer to the reader. It consists of a short message, almost perfunctory in nature.The organizational pattern of business reports:A typical business report is made up of three parts:Introduction: stating briefly the purpose of writing and/or thecircumstances under which the report has beenprepared.Discussion: exploring relevant issues, such as presentingfacts, analyzing statistics and data, anddiscussing implications.Conclusion: summarizing the result of the discussion and makingrecommendations.Business report in contrast with memos:A memo is a short, covering one specific item—giving instructions, Making requests…etc.A report, generally covers broader topics, such as plans for a new product or a study of a problem like declining sales…etc. They are different in genres and have different structure.Business report in contrast with science/ research reports:The form and content of a research report:◆TITLE◆ABSTRACT (vary from 200to 500 words, including a statement of thepurpose of the project, methods and procedures used and principle findings and conclusions)◆INTRODUCTION( a review of other people’s findings, which willexplain your motives for undertaking the project)◆SCOPE OF RESEARCH(which should be clearly stated and defined, whetheryou are searching for or testing hypotheses, suggesting a theory, or merely reporting some observations made under clearly specific conditions.◆METHOD AND PROCEDURES( a detailed description of the methods oranalytical frame work, the steps of research, as well as the equipment and conditions or any other factors which could effect the outcome of research)◆FIDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS(numerical data and other statistics,usually presented in the form of tables)◆ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA◆CONCLUSIONS(such as re-examining the hypothesis, to be rejected ifthe data show it to be wrong; or to be accepted if supported by the research.)◆IMPLICATIONS(a discussion of how your research may provide a betterunderstanding of a board are of science)Writing practiceBased on your own experience write a report.Layout of an itinerary:Verbs forms in itineraries:Details of planned activities in an itinerary are rarely given in full sentences; usually they are presented in verbs phrases. For example: Leave Beijing International Airport for San FranciscoArrive at San Francisco International AirportMet by Mr. T. Keith and Miss Louis Lowes and transferred to Holiday Inn Dinner at hotelMeeting with Mr. Antonio…Essential quality in writing itineraries:In preparing an itinerary, you need to find out information about: a)Details of each departure, arrival, and intermediate stops,including exact time, date and placesb)Dates and detailed schedules of talks/meetings, appointments,functions or events if they are included in the programme.c)Special interests of the individual/delegation, such as places tosee, or other requests.The most important quality for an itinerary is ACCURACY, which means that all details are accurate and clear, to ensure this, you should: a)Be sure to indicate clearly the DATE and TIME of each departure andarrival. Use the 24-hour clock for time and avoid confusion. Providea note as to whether the time is local time or not.b)Name the airport or station for each departure/arrival, especiallywhen there is more than one in the city.c)Indicate the type of transport used.
