便条写作格式与范文

便条写作关于格式便条(又称短笺)作为专业英语四级考试对英语应用文(practicalwriting)的考查点之一，是每年的固定题目。

2005年专业四级考试大纲将便条的分值由5分增至10分。

分值的增加应当引起我们对这道题目的重视。

考试大纲对英语专业写作便条部分的测试要求是:"根据提示写大约50~60词的便条、通知、请帖等。

要求做到格式正确，语言得体。

考试时间为10分钟。

"由此我们可以看出它所涉及的考点是格式和语言得体性。

因此我们可以从格式、开篇结尾、表达是否清楚得当以及如何使用委婉语气和敬词这几方面着手进行复习和练习。

便条根据其用途可分成很多类，这里我们着重讲经常考的几类:邀请类便条、致歉类便条、通知类便条、致谢类便条和祝贺类便条。

然后我们会以范文的形式解读其他类便条的写作步骤和内容重点。

便条写作是专四写作部分考试中得分很有灵活性的一道题目，既可能得满分，也可能得分很低。

其得分高低的关键之一在于格式是否正确。

考试大纲对英语专业写作测试要求中提到:"便条写作最主要的是注意格式正确"。

因此我们首先要熟练掌握便条写作的格式。

称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后英文书信由6个部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、谦语和署名。

而便条写作有别于普通的书信，属于非正式书信。

它的格式非常清晰简单。

它的篇幅短小，无需写信内地址，有时也无需写祝词和谦语。

如此清晰的格式，我们可以将其简单地总结为:"称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后"。

一篇便条作文格式可用以下简图示意:1?称呼要顶格，可根据亲疏关系冠以尊称或直呼姓名。

可用Dear Sir or Madame，Dear Tom 等正式称呼，也可直呼其名。

在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式)，有时也可以用冒号(美国式)。

我们习惯上还是用逗号。

写给亲人和关系密切的朋友时，用Dear或My Dear再加上表示关系的称呼或直呼其名。

便条题型分析及写作技巧一便条题型分析便条是一种简单的书信形式，侧重于语言的实用性和功能性，检查考生日常运用语言的实际能力．要求学生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景，确定便条涉及的内容，如：写便条者与便条接收者的身份，两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等．便条的特点在于内容简短，大多是临时性的询问，留言，通知，要求等．与正规书信相比，便条的语言更加口语化．有急事需要告诉别人而不能面谈时，就可以写便条，如请假条或留言条等．一般不写地址，结尾时也无需结尾礼词，只需要写上留便条者姓名．便条的日期一般可只写星期几，也可以写明上午，下午的具体时间．下面是1991年到2006年的全部便条题目，我们可以总结其类型，以便在写作中对症下药．1991: Your friend wants to go downtown to buy some Chinese folk music tapes and a jacket.

• 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。

英语专业四级便条写作训练

Note writing（便条写作）1.便条的特点及要求便条是完成介绍、预约、道歉、请求、致谢、投诉等功能的简短的书信形式。

（1）特点A.构件简单（simple）书信由7个部分组成：●发信人信息（包括地址、邮编、写信时间）●收信人信息（如果彼此熟悉，此部分可省去不写）●对收信人的称呼（后边的标点符号一般用逗号）●正文●结尾客套语（之后一定有逗号）●签名（之后一定不能有标点符号）●职务名称（若写信人不是以集体名义写的，此部分不写）而便条相对简短，仅仅由时间、对方称呼、正文、结尾客套语和签名组成。

如便条是以集体名义写的，则要添加职务名称。

（2）文体适中（casual）与书信相比，便条文体的通俗，倾向于非正式化、始终口语化的语言。

●书信中，除了和亲近的、熟悉的人交流，一般不用缩略形式，如I'm,we’re,it’s,couldn’t等。

●一般要用较为正式的、略显复杂的语言结构，即句子完整、复杂而且比较长的句子；而便条不拘泥于此。

●书信中，除了和亲近的、熟悉的人交流，一般用词较正式，如“We are greatlyhonored to write to you”;“witnessed”等；而便条中可以用比较随意的“I’m sorry;many thanks”等等。

但是，以上区别并非绝对，如在双方地位悬殊或非常陌生的情况下，便条用正式的文体也是合理的。

（3）内容凝练（precise and to the point）（4）规矩细腻●日期写法：“月日（基数词），年”法，如Sep.23,2011;或“日（序数词）月年”法，如“23rd Sep.2011”。

为避免失误，建议一般用第一种，注意“日”与“年”之间要用逗号。

月份的写法除五月（May）外，其余均可用简写形式：Jan.,Feb.,Mar.,Apr.,Aug.Sep.,Oct.,Nov.和Dec.等，但考试时写全称保险。

●称呼的写法1）对有一定社会距离、不熟悉的人：Dear Madam，Dear Sir，Dear President，Dear Mr.Smith等；2）对相识的人：Dear Shirley，Dear Smith等；3）对亲近的人或家人：Dear Mom，Dear Dad，Dear Mary等，甚至可以没有Dear一词。

2023年英语专四应用文写作之便条

英语应用文写作之便条便条 (Notes)便条是书信旳一种形式，常用旳有请假条和留言条两种。

一、请假条（Written Request for Leave）这里所讲旳请假条包括病假条、事假条以及续假条等。

写请假条要注意把请假旳原因和请假时间写清晰，并且请假旳理由要讲充足。

假如有证明原因旳证据，如医生旳证明等最佳随条附上。

1. 请病假（Asking for Sick Leave）April 24,Dear Prof. Smith,I am very sorry to apprise (=inform) you that I am unable to attend school today owing to a bad cold.

便条写作格式及范文

便条写作格式及范文便条写作关于格式便条(又称短笺)作为专业英语四级考试对英语应用文(practicalwriting)的考查点之一，是每年的固定题目。

2005年专业四级考试大纲将便条的分值由5分增至10分。

分值的增加应当引起我们对这道题目的重视。

考试大纲对英语专业写作便条部分的测试要求是:"根据提示写大约50~60词的便条、通知、请帖等。

要求做到格式正确，语言得体。

考试时间为10分钟。

"由此我们可以看出它所涉及的考点是格式和语言得体性。

因此我们可以从格式、开篇结尾、表达是否清楚得当以及如何使用委婉语气和敬词这几方面着手进行复习和练习。

便条根据其用途可分成很多类，这里我们着重讲经常考的几类:邀请类便条、致歉类便条、通知类便条、致谢类便条和祝贺类便条。

然后我们会以范文的形式解读其他类便条的写作步骤和内容重点。

便条写作是专四写作部分考试中得分很有灵活性的一道题目，既可能得满分，也可能得分很低。

其得分高低的关键之一在于格式是否正确。

考试大纲对英语专业写作测试要求中提到:"便条写作最主要的是注意格式正确"。

因此我们首先要熟练掌握便条写作的格式。

称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后英文书信由6个部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、谦语和署名。

而便条写作有别于普通的书信，属于非正式书信。

它的格式非常清晰简单。

它的篇幅短小，无需写信内地址，有时也无需写祝词和谦语。

如此清晰的格式，我们可以将其简单地总结为:"称呼顶格、日期在右、首行缩进、署名签在后"。

一篇便条作文格式可用以下简图示意:1?称呼要顶格，可根据亲疏关系冠以尊称或直呼姓名。

可用Dear Sir or Madame，Dear Tom等正式称呼，也可直呼其名。

在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式)，有时也可以用冒号(美国式)。

我们习惯上还是用逗号。

写给亲人和关系密切的朋友时，用Dear或My Dear再加上表示关系的称呼或直呼其名。

专四便条

专四便条便条是一种简单的书信。

虽然内容简单，但却有其独特的风格。

主要目的是为了尽快地把最新的信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点转告给对方。

常见的便条有欠条、留言和请假条等。

特点：1. 文内语言尽量通俗口语化，简单扼要，直截了当，无需使用客套语言。

In a roundabout way2. 便条虽简单，但中心务必突出，更要注明活动的时间及地点。

3. 便条不需邮寄，不用信封。

通常请人代为转交。

有时可写在留言板和留言簿上。

基本写作格式：便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。

但各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素；1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文4）Signature：署名样例：欠条：留下字据，表示欠某人某物。

条据上需写明钱物名称和数量、立据人及日期。

不得涂改。

留言涉及的方面很多，包括约会，通知，请求等任何可用便条留下的口信。

May 9，2007Dear Li,As the Spring Festival is drawing near, Im very glad to invite you to come to a dinner party with several other friends of ours. I’m sure we will have a very happy time and enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Would you like to come on time at 5:00 p.m. today, to Room 6 of Lijing Hotel?Yours always,Jiayang请假条：往往指由于生病或特殊情况不能亲自当面请假，用假条的形式告假。

所以，请假条大多是病假条。

可以自写，也可请他人代写。

写假条最重要的是说明原因和请假的期限。

Jan.10Dear Ms. Jiang,I am terribly sorry that I shall be unable to attend this morning two periods of English Class due to a bad cold and high fever. Enclosed is a certificate from the doctor who said I must stay in bed for a few days. I will go back to school as soon as I recover.Yours respectfully,Tom Mary很多学习者翻开作文书籍，就如同想打开一本武功秘籍，只希望看到5个字母trick(技巧) 。

TEM-4便条

便条的写作便条是一种简单的书信形式。

要求考生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景，确定便条所涉及的内容，如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。

便条的特点在于内容简短，大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。

与正规书信相比，便条的语言更为口语化，比如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that ...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that ...开头。

有急事需要告诉别人而又不能面谈时，就可以写便条，如请假条、留言条等。

一般不写地址，与普通书信基本相同。

结尾时也无需要结尾礼词，只需要写上便条者姓名。

便条的日期通常写在右上角，一般只要写上星期几，也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间；日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。

但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。

便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。

基本写作格式便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。

但必须包括以下四个基本要素；1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文 4）Signature：署名注意事项1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和敬词2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。

分类举例1）请假（Asking for Leave）例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 60 words. Please describe the information clearly. 1) the reason you ask for the leave 2) the time and how long you will leaveAug. 22ndSecretary Li,I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ leave from the Aug. 23rd to Sept. 3rd instant. As I have to leave with the time is urgent. My father now in the hospital is badly ill. I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days. You know I’m the only child in my family. Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus. Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully,×××本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ask for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave. leave 在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”. As concern as后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同义，两者可以互换。
