2008年12月英語四六級考試寫作技巧及范文

　　便箋 (Note)

　　便箋是一種非正式的、簡短的書信，包括請假條、借條、留言等，甚至包括非正式的邀請信和感謝信。

　　便箋不能像信函那么正式，無論在格式、行文、語氣等方面都比較自由，不需要稱呼和結(jié)尾套語。便箋往往比較口語化，甚至可用行話。因此，寫便箋時，應(yīng)做到言簡意賅，以傳遞信息為主要目的。為寫作方便，也可采取與左邊線齊平的格式。

　　便箋雖說簡短，但務(wù)必寫清楚：

　　1.時間：至少應(yīng)有月、日，必要的話可加上星期幾，甚至可注明幾點(diǎn)鐘。

　　2.人名：稱呼可有可無，視具體情況而定。

　　3.事由：簡明扼要，以講清楚事情為原則。

　　最后，還得提醒考生，一定要看清題目的字?jǐn)?shù)要求。

　　實(shí)例

　　1.留言

　　Xiao Zhao,

　　A Mr. Wang called you this morning while you were out. He said he would pick you up at 6 p.m. at the gate. You are expected to ring him up any time in the afternoon from 13:00 to 16:00 at 13842492058.

　　Good luck.

　　2.請假

　　Dear Mrs. Cork，

　　I very much regret that I will be unable to take part in tomorrow’s experiment under your supervision, as I have a bad cold and run a high fever. I am enclosing herewith a certificate from my doctor, who fears it will be several days before I shall be able to resume my study. I trust my absence will not cause any inconvenience to you.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Dear Tiger,

　　Have done all my things here. Sincerely thank you for the trouble I have brought you these days. Leaving for home by 10 o’clock train this morning. This is to say good-bye to you, as I don’t want to wake you up at such early time. Will call you as soon as I arrive home. Remember me to your wife.

　　Yours ever,
