Note-writing(便條寫作）Note-writing(便條寫作）---介紹

英語專業四級考試大綱寫便條的要求是，“根據提示寫大約50-60詞的通知、便條、請貼等。要求格式正確，語言得體。” 英語專業四級考試大綱的要求其實也TEM4便條制定了評分標準。TEM4便條的評分往往從格式、內容、語言、字數這四方面來考慮。評分標準1.格式（日期稱呼結尾）3分2.內容與語言（信息語法字數）6分3.語言得體（語言風格）1分PartI:Note-writing(便條寫作）---格式一、基本寫作格式1）Date：便條日期2）Salutation：稱呼3）Body：正文4）Signature：署名

Yourssincerely, George2.稱呼4.套語5.署名1.日期3.正文PartI:Note-writing(便條寫作）---格式1）Date：日期(寫在右上角）具體年月日，星期幾，或具體的時刻方式：一般把年份寫在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日與年之間通常用逗號隔開。例如，2005年5月11日有以下寫法：May11,2005(最普遍）11May,2005May11th,200511thMay,2005PartI:Note-writing(便條寫作）---格式2）Salutation：稱呼（日期下一兩行，左頂格）稱呼時，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如DearSusan，DearTom。若此人有頭銜(socialtitle)，稱呼時，便要保留其頭銜，例如Dr．Herce，要稱DearDr．Pierce，不稱DearPierce。如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs.Wang或Mr.Wang出現，稱呼時也只需在其前加Dear便可，即稱DearMrs.

Wang或DearMr.Wang，若只稱DearWang則視為不妥。當對方為親屬時，在Dear后面加上表示親屬關系大寫的字眼即可，如DearGrandpa，DearAunt。稱呼后一般用逗號（英式），也可以用冒號（美式）

eg.DearAlice, DearProfessorDavidSmith,PartI:Note-writing(便條寫作）---格式3）Body：正文首行向右縮進4-5個字母，第二行從左面頂格寫起。PartI:Note-writing(便條寫作）---格式4）Signature：署名署名簽在最后簽名后面用逗號。致不熟悉的人，宜用較莊重的套語，如Yourssincerely，Sincerelyyours，或Sincerely等。對上級、長者，除了可用上述較莊重的套語，也可用Yoursrespectfully或Respectfullyyours。對一般朋友或熟人可用較莊重的套語語，也可用Yours等較為隨便的套語。格式常見錯誤a)日期：常見錯誤和失誤日期漏寫（確實太大意）漏掉日期中年與月、日之間的逗號（細節問題）日期后面加點“·”（多此一舉）受母語書寫習慣的影響2010年4月22日April222010April22,2010.2010.5.9

按漢語習慣把它寫在簽名的下面月份拼寫錯誤或月份縮寫詞錯誤3.語言-expression署名套語的得體：1)致不熟悉的人，宜用莊重套語，如Yourssincerely，Sincerelyyours,

或Sincerely。2)對上級、長者，除了可用上述較莊重的套語，也可用Yoursrespectfully或Respectfullyyours。3)對一般朋友或熟人可用1)中提到的較莊重的套語，也可用Yours等較為隨便的套語。4)對密友則采用較隨便的套語為宜。例如，Yours，Love，Withlove，Bestwishes，Bestregards等等。5)對親屬可用下列任何一種：Love，Withlove，Allmylove，Yoursaffectionately，Affectionatelyyours，Lovinglyyours，Yourslovingly，Yourlovingson(Dad...)；但對親人，不宜用Sincerelyyours。語言-expression正文語言的得體1)關乎IQ，更關乎EQ如：“Youarerequiredtowriteanoteofabout50-60wordstodeclinetheinvitation”。decline是一個很正式的詞,其隱含意義是“torefusepolitelytoacceptortodosomething”(謝絕,婉言拒絕)2)假設情景、靈活處理人際關系、圓滿解決實際問題。語言得體內容和語言是一個統一體。內容抓住后，應以恰當的語言來表達。一般來說，便條的語言要簡單明嘹，用詞平易。當然，語言風格還應與情景一致，不同的對象，所使用的語言應有所不同。相對來說，對上級、長者、不熟悉的人的語言較為正式，對親朋好友的語言則較為隨便。不過，不管對方是誰，行文中都應體現態度誠懇禮貌。

PartIII:Note-writing(便條寫作）------字數包括日期、稱呼、結尾在內，約50—60個字。盡管在這數字之間還可以少l0字，或多20字，即40-80字，不過，還是篇幅適中為好，以免因顯得太短或太長而扣分。

二、內容-communication要傳遞的信息類型，在正文部分體現一般的結構事件解釋建議、希望或要求等常見類型及信息要件(keypoints)請求：背景陳述—具體請求—表示謝意建議：背景陳述—建議內容—建議理由—鼓勵話語道歉：道歉內容—具體理由—再次致歉致謝：致謝內容—具體幫助—再次致謝祝賀：祝賀內容—表示祝賀—衷心祝福常見類型及信息要件(續)安慰：表示同情—安慰對方—提出建議—鼓勵對方邀請（接受/拒絕）：發起邀請：邀請起因—具體細節—表示邀請；接受邀請：表示感謝—接受原因—再次致謝；拒絕邀請：表示感謝—拒絕原因—衷心祝賀問詢：詢問主題—具體細節—期待答復—表示感謝轉讓/求購/求租：原因—物品詳情—價格商定—具體聯系方式留言/轉告：人—時間—事情—要求真題舉例：2008年便條寫作真題
