7、因;l (2)要告诉的事情;l (3)有关的希望、建议或要求等。l 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。l 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。l 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。l 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。l 现以2001年英语专业四级考试便条写作为例加以说明：l 该提示是：Yesterday you

9、r failure to turn up for the appointment，l (2)the reason for failure to turn up for the appointment ，l (3)making a request for another meeting，l (4)suggesting the time for the requested meeting。l 分析：(3)、(4)为提示中明确要求表达的内容，l (1)、(2)则是根据道歉类书信特点而必须表达的内容。l 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。l 当然

10、，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。Sample analysisl l April 24th l Dear Mike,l Im thrilled to tell you that I havel got two tickets to the concert ofl Lingdian, a famous group pop bandl in China.
