英语专业四级考试便条写作

Note-writing(便条写作）Note-writing(便条写作）---介绍

英语专业四级考试大纲写便条的要求是，“根据提示写大约50-60词的通知、便条、请贴等。要求格式正确，语言得体。” 英语专业四级考试大纲的要求其实也TEM4便条制定了评分标准。TEM4便条的评分往往从格式、内容、语言、字数这四方面来考虑。评分标准1.格式（日期称呼结尾）3分2.内容与语言（信息语法字数）6分3.语言得体（语言风格）1分PartI:Note-writing(便条写作）---格式一、基本写作格式1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文4）Signature：署名

Yourssincerely, George2.称呼4.套语5.署名1.日期3.正文PartI:Note-writing(便条写作）---格式1）Date：日期(写在右上角）具体年月日，星期几，或具体的时刻方式：一般把年份写在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。例如，2005年5月11日有以下写法：May11,2005(最普遍）11May,2005May11th,200511thMay,2005PartI:Note-writing(便条写作）---格式2）Salutation：称呼（日期下一两行，左顶格）称呼时，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如DearSusan，DearTom。若此人有头衔(socialtitle)，称呼时，便要保留其头衔，例如Dr．Herce，要称DearDr．Pierce，不称DearPierce。如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs.Wang或Mr.Wang出现，称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可，即称DearMrs.

Wang或DearMr.Wang，若只称DearWang则视为不妥。当对方为亲属时，在Dear后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可，如DearGrandpa，DearAunt。称呼后一般用逗号（英式），也可以用冒号（美式）

eg.DearAlice, DearProfessorDavidSmith,PartI:Note-writing(便条写作）---格式3）Body：正文首行向右缩进4-5个字母，第二行从左面顶格写起。PartI:Note-writing(便条写作）---格式4）Signature：署名署名签在最后签名后面用逗号。致不熟悉的人，宜用较庄重的套语，如Yourssincerely，Sincerelyyours，或Sincerely等。对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yoursrespectfully或Respectfullyyours。对一般朋友或熟人可用较庄重的套语语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。格式常见错误a)日期：常见错误和失误日期漏写（确实太大意）漏掉日期中年与月、日之间的逗号（细节问题）日期后面加点“·”（多此一举）受母语书写习惯的影响2010年4月22日April222010April22,2010.2010.5.9

按汉语习惯把它写在签名的下面月份拼写错误或月份缩写词错误3.语言-expression署名套语的得体：1)致不熟悉的人，宜用庄重套语，如Yourssincerely，Sincerelyyours,

或Sincerely。2)对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yoursrespectfully或Respectfullyyours。3)对一般朋友或熟人可用1)中提到的较庄重的套语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。4)对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如，Yours，Love，Withlove，Bestwishes，Bestregards等等。5)对亲属可用下列任何一种：Love，Withlove，Allmylove，Yoursaffectionately，Affectionatelyyours，Lovinglyyours，Yourslovingly，Yourlovingson(Dad...)；但对亲人，不宜用Sincerelyyours。语言-expression正文语言的得体1)关乎IQ，更关乎EQ如：“Youarerequiredtowriteanoteofabout50-60wordstodeclinetheinvitation”。decline是一个很正式的词,其隐含意义是“torefusepolitelytoacceptortodosomething”(谢绝,婉言拒绝)2)假设情景、灵活处理人际关系、圆满解决实际问题。语言得体内容和语言是一个统一体。内容抓住后，应以恰当的语言来表达。一般来说，便条的语言要简单明嘹，用词平易。当然，语言风格还应与情景一致，不同的对象，所使用的语言应有所不同。相对来说，对上级、长者、不熟悉的人的语言较为正式，对亲朋好友的语言则较为随便。不过，不管对方是谁，行文中都应体现态度诚恳礼貌。

PartIII:Note-writing(便条写作）------字数包括日期、称呼、结尾在内，约50—60个字。尽管在这数字之间还可以少l0字，或多20字，即40-80字，不过，还是篇幅适中为好，以免因显得太短或太长而扣分。

二、内容-communication要传递的信息类型，在正文部分体现一般的结构事件解释建议、希望或要求等常见类型及信息要件(keypoints)请求：背景陈述—具体请求—表示谢意建议：背景陈述—建议内容—建议理由—鼓励话语道歉：道歉内容—具体理由—再次致歉致谢：致谢内容—具体帮助—再次致谢祝贺：祝贺内容—表示祝贺—衷心祝福常见类型及信息要件(续)安慰：表示同情—安慰对方—提出建议—鼓励对方邀请（接受/拒绝）：发起邀请：邀请起因—具体细节—表示邀请；接受邀请：表示感谢—接受原因—再次致谢；拒绝邀请：表示感谢—拒绝原因—衷心祝贺问询：询问主题—具体细节—期待答复—表示感谢转让/求购/求租：原因—物品详情—价格商定—具体联系方式留言/转告：人—时间—事情—要求真题举例：2008年便条写作真题
