BEC中级写作讲义 2 Writing Part One 第一部分写作相对第二部分的写作而言，该部分更注重内容的覆盖度，而对语言的相对宽松。因此在写作的过程中，明确写作目的，将所有要点都包括涉及就显得尤为重要。写作时，考生首先要明白题目赋予写作者的身份，然后确定短文中必须包含的题目指定的内容；最后考虑语言是否流畅，是否有语法错误、拼写错误等。 Using an appropriate salutation 称呼恰当 Do not write Instead, write Ms. Glenda Ruby, Pres. Ms. Ruby, President Mr. Sylvan, Asst. Mgr. Mr. Sylvan, Assistant Manager Some titles can be placed before the name of the recipient: · Dr. Ishamel · Prof. John Smith · Dean Ivy Wallace · Captain Jack. Jones · Sister Mary Use the addressee's last name in the salutation unless you are very familiar with each other. 无名称谓 Dear Sir 或 Dear Sir or Madam ( Dear Sirs ×) 一般性往来: Dear Friend(s), Dear Customers, Dear Colleagues, Dear Readers, 结束语: Sincerely Yours sincerely Sincerely yours Yours truly, Best regards 题型介绍 Memo 在BEC 中级写作中，memo主要是针对公司内部的交流，告知或提醒公司内部员工有关商务或公司内部活动的事宜，用于联系工作、交流信息，是处理一般公务时常用的一种简便函件。 特点： A：形式简单，用途广泛 B：交际功能和版面不像其他正式文本那么严格 C：所用词语比较简明通俗 D：使收件人容易明白并迅速传播开 备忘录由标题、正文、署名、发文日期和地点四部分组成 To：（收件人） Subject：（事宜） From：（发件人） Date：（日期） 标题 MEMO 收件人 To： 发件人 From： 发文日期 Date： 事宜 Subject： 正文 Body E-mail电子邮件 To: 接受者的电子邮件地址。 From: 发邮件者的电子邮件地址。(省略) CC： 英文carbon copy 的缩写，是抄送的意思，表示其他收看同一邮件的电邮地址。 Attachment附件：附加在电子邮件上的其他文件。 (省略) Subject：即主题，主题也被称为“标题” Note & message 便条及留言 Note: a short informal letter。便条相对memo来讲是更简单的一种写作形式。其格式不正式，语言更加口语化。便条通常是一个人写给另一个人，它的对象是个人而非全体人员。一般情况下note都是手写体的。 在BEC中级写作中，note目的在于考察考生能否就公司的内部事宜与同事进行有效地交流。要求言简意赅，包含题目给出的所有要点。 message与note十分相似，在BEC考试中要求也相同. 例题分类解析 · A. 通知+要求类 (inform & request) · B. 请求+解释类 ( ask & explain ) · C. 解释+建议类 ( explain & suggest) · D. 预订+安排类 ( reserve & arrange) A. 通知+要求类 (inform & request) 例题 Your work for a manufacturing company.
