Unit 4便条(Short Note)一、写作技巧便条(Short Note)，或称便签或便笺，是一种简单的书信。
便条是对比较熟悉的人的留言，虽然内容简单，但却有其独特的风格。
主要目的是为了尽快的把最新的信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点转告给对方。
常见的便条有收条、欠条、留言和请假条等。
便条写作（Note Writing）实际上与书信写作（Letter Writing）大致相似，但有三点主要不同：1. 便条较随便，因此语气通常更轻松，格式和语言都是如此。
2. 通常便条较短，应言简意赅，这意味着你必须略去冗余信息。
便条写起来往往更具个性化，通常语言更接近口语，更直接。
具体说来，有以下特点：便条可以有题目，也可以省略题目。
便条开篇须有称呼语，但称呼可以比较随便。
日期部分可写在便条的右上角。
日期的签署通常只需写星期几或星期几的上午、下午，也可只写上午或下午和具体时间。
只写日期也可以。
便条结尾须署上留条人的姓名，位置在正文的右下角。
便条的形式和内容简洁，故可以用几句话概括。
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 way ）。
便条虽简单，但中心务必突出，更要注明活动的时间及地点。
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。
注意月份的全拼及缩略形式。
月份的缩略形式为：Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May，June, July, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.。
二、经典范文（一）收据（receipt）收据种类很多，有收条、借据、订阅单、订货单等，是在跟对方发生钱和物的关系时写给对方作为凭据的条子，起书面证据作用。
在写借据、收条时，写字据的日期写于右上角，然后写明是“借”还是“收到”，“借”、“还”钱或物的名称和数量。
立据人写于右下角。
不得涂改。
