便条写作

便条写作

2005年最新的英语专业四级考试大纲对便条部分做出如下规定：

“能根据所给提示写50至60个单词的便条、通知、请帖等。能做到格式正确，语言得体。考试时间为10分钟。”

便条（Note） Ⅰ、便条的结构

便条常用于比较熟悉的人之间传递简短的信息以处理日常交往、学习和生活中的各种事务。根据内容和性质，便条可以有许多种类，例如朋友之间的邀请、祝贺、慰问、致谢、道歉、留言以及日常事务处理中用到的请假、借条、收据等。

与书信相比，便条相对没有格式方面的严格要求，更直接、更灵活、更简洁。便条由四部分构成：日期、称呼、正文和署名。 （一）日期

日期一般写在右上方，注明便条书写的时间即可。鉴于便条的时效性较强，有时候可以省略年份不写；强调星期可以在日期前标明，可以使用其缩略形式；或者在需要强调钟点的时候注明具体几时几分，还可以在后面加上a.m./AM表示上午，或p.m./PM表示。 （二）称呼

称呼的写法比较随意，可根据双方的关系而定直接称呼，也可以在姓名前加上适当的称谓。如：Jenny, Michael, Darling, Honey, Dear Susan, Mr. Pony, Prof. Scott等。 （三）正文

便条正文用语尽量通俗口语化，使用简单扼要的语言把事情说得清楚、明白。应该注意的是，便条的语言虽然相对口语化，但如果是写给长辈或上级，或者要说的事情比较正式，语气就需要比较庄重、恭敬，客气、委婉地说明情况。 （四）署名

署名通常写在正文的右下角，书信中出现的结束语省略不写，只需根据双方熟悉程度签上写便条人的姓或者名即可。
