专四写作便条范文解析

专四写作便条范文解析

专四写作便条范文解析引导语:下面小编就为大家带来专四写作便条范文解析,希望能够帮助到大家,谢谢您的阅读。

一、TEM4 便条的基本要求(一) 格式(format)正确TEM4 便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。

具体来说,它应有日期(date)、称呼(saluwfion)、正文(body)及结尾(ending),结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary close)和签名(signature)。

1.日期指写便条的日期。

英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别,前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角,偶尔也见写在便条的左上角,而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角,即写在签名的下面。

英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同,汉语一般先写年,然后再写月、日,而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面。

另外,英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开。

例如,2008 年4 月21 日通常写成April 21,2008 或April 21 st,2008;当然,由于是非正式书信,也可以去掉年份,写成Ap l 2l 或April 21st(不过,这种写法,只是最近两年才被TEM4 接受),或者写成21/4/2008 或4/21/2008。

日期能说明便条的有效度,没有日期,则会使人感到茫然。

2.称呼称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓,一般都以Dear 开头,写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白,顶格写。

TEM4 试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示。

提示中的you 指的是写便条人,提到的另一方便是收便条人。

称呼时,一般只需在其名字前加Dear 即可,如Dear Susan,Dear Tom。

若此人有头衔(social title),称呼时,便要保留其头衔,例如Dr.Herce,要称Dear Dr.Pierce,不称Dear Pierce。

如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs Wang 或Mr Wang 出现,称呼时。

便条写作格式与范文

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。

英语四级中的写作技巧与策略

英语四级中的写作技巧与策略

英语四级中的写作技巧与策略在英语四级考试中,写作是一个重要的部分,也是许多考生比较困惑和头疼的一环。

掌握一些写作的技巧与策略,可以帮助考生有效地提升写作水平,取得更好的成绩。

本文将介绍一些在英语四级中写作的技巧与策略。

一、审题与构思在写作之前,首先要仔细审题,明确自己需要写的主题和要点。

可以根据题目的要求,给自己设定一个明确的写作目标。

然后,进行构思,确定写作的结构框架和主要内容。

可以列出一些关键词和思路,帮助自己整理思绪和构建文章的逻辑顺序。

二、语法与词汇运用良好的语法和词汇运用是写作的基础。

首先,要注意句子的结构和时态的正确使用。

避免出现主谓不一致、名词单复数错误等基本语法错误。

其次,要注意使用恰当的词汇表达自己的观点和意见。

适当运用一些高级词汇和短语可以提升文章的档次和亮点。

三、段落结构好的段落结构可以使文章逻辑清晰、层次分明。

每个段落应该有一个明确的中心思想,并且要与上下文相衔接。

可以使用过渡词或短语,如"firstly"、"in addition"、"however"等,使得段落之间的联系更加紧密和流畅。

四、开头与结尾开头是文章的亮点,也是吸引读者注意力的重要部分。

可以使用一些引人注意的开头方法,例如提出问题、引用名言或事实,或者以故事开头来吸引读者的兴趣。

结尾部分应该总结全文,提出观点或建议,并给读者留下深刻印象。

五、逻辑与连贯写作过程中,要保持逻辑性和连贯性。

要注意各个观点之间的联系和转换,避免观点之间的跳跃和突兀。

可以使用一些过渡句,如"onthe one hand"、"on the other hand"、"in conclusion"等,使得文章的观点和结构更加清晰。

六、篇幅与时间控制在英语四级写作中,篇幅和时间控制也是一个考生需要注意的问题。

要根据考试的时间限制合理分配写作的时间,合理控制篇幅,避免篇幅过长或过短。

英语专业四级便条写作常见错误分析及对策

英语专业四级便条写作常见错误分析及对策

考生便条中典型错误实例分析便条写作的评分总体要求为:格式对,内容完整,语言没有错误,语言得体,字数符合要求(40 字到80 字之间)。

只要考生训练有素,失分不应太多,但历年情况并不尽如人意。

笔者随机统计了2006 年900位考生所写便条得分情况,发现得分所占比例较大的依次是7 分(31%)、6 分(28%)和5 分(19%)三个分数段。

便条得满分10 分的有2 人,而得零分的有9 人。

该项目6 分为及格线,说明大多数考生(78%)便条写作的分数仅在及格线上下徘徊。

我们发现考生便条中的主要错误在格式、内容和语言几个方面均有体现。

1. 格式错误格式错误主要是日期(Date)、称呼(Heading)和结尾(Ending)缺失、不全、写错或位置错误,标点遗忘或错用,大小写错误等。

错误一:不正确的日期格式。

标点有误:如 April 23 2006、April. 23. 2006、 4, 23rd 2006、23rd. Apri. 2006、Apri. 23, 2006.、April 23th, 2006。

顺序有误:按照汉语习惯,将日期写在便条末尾,或完全按照汉语日期的写法写成2006.4.23错误二:不正确的称呼格式称呼与日期写在同一行:Dear Michael, 23rd April称呼不规范:如 To Michael、Hello Mic hael错误三:不正确的结尾,写成Your classmate Mary、Yours Mary、Sincerely、Yours, sincerely 或遗漏此部分。

2. 内容错误错误一:便条开头不当,如Nice writing to you.、I’m Angela.、I’m your classmate Yama. 便条应开门见山,而不应当囉嗦。

错误二:遗漏所要求的内容或内容不够具体,如Please tell me the time and place for the excursion(内容不够具体)错误三:写些不相关的话,如 I love traveling very much. And I’m glad to hear that you also have some experience in it. 一个典型的例子是“I enjoy traveling very much. It presents us beauty of our country and gives us opportunities to know our society. But I have just visited several places so far. On the one hand, I don’t have so much time; on the other hand, I seldom have opportunities. This time it is an opportunity for me. ”字数为55 字,相当于整个便条所需字数,而此部分的内容仅涉及写便条人对远足的兴趣,与主要内容不相关。

英语专业四级考试的写作参考技巧

英语专业四级考试的写作参考技巧

英语专业四级考试的写作参考技巧相信很多正在为20xx年专四备考的同学都知道,在现行的英语专业四级考试(TEM4)中,写作由两局部组成,即便条和作文。

那么该如何轻松应对专四写作呢,下面就为大家讲解写作技巧。

其实英语学习是一个长期积累的过程,并无太多捷径,短期的突击也无异于杯水车薪。

但是,可以通过对于考试规律的掌握来调整临考状态,提高应考能力,从而获取最正确效果。

以下,笔者就专四作文的应试策略谈几点看法。

构思列提纲就如同建筑师在盖房子之前绘制蓝图,完善、全面的提纲可使考生在这个框架内填充、扩展,而不至于跑题,防止了想到哪就写到哪的盲目性。

接着的2O分钟用来按照提纲写作,最后5分钟用来检查润色。

合理的时间安排是写出优秀作文必不可少的第一步。

字体不要过大或过小,字间距保持均匀,字迹要工整。

段落方面,格式要整齐划一,段首或一律顶格或一律空四个字母的位置。

这些都有易于考生先发制人,取得先机。

(一)介绍(introduction) 介绍局部是一篇文章的“地图”,用来提纲挈领。

其中第一句的作用是用来说明整段文章的总义和介绍文章的主题,之后的一至两句那么是用来表达考生的个人意见 (论点),最后一句通常用来带着进入主体局部。

文章好的开头会引人如胜,激发阅卷老师的阅读兴趣。

一般说来,这一段落不宜太长,要写得简明扼要,主要可以采用以下三种方法:(二)主体(body) 主体局部段首通常有一个主题句(topic sentence),用来表示该段的中心思想。

下面是几个常用主题句句型:1. It is be—lieved that… has the following advantages。

2. … is important in several ways。

3. I side with this view for two reasons。

4. … benefits us in many ways。

接下来的文章应包含二到三个要点,用以支持主题句。

英语专业四级便条写作

英语专业四级考试之便条写作策略
便条是一种简短的、非正式的书信。

它省
去了正式书信中的写信人地址、收信人地址,
甚至结束语,只留下日期、称呼、正文和签名
这四部分。

便条的写作目的是为了将简要的话
语通过书面的形式传递给对方。

在英语专业四级测试中,每年都有便条写作。

根据的新大纲要求,2004年起,便条写作
的总分数由原来的5分增加到10分,而写作
的时间保持不变。

现以2004年的真题为例,
进行分析:
SECTION B NOTE-WRITING [10MIN]
Write ANSWER SHEET TWO a note of
about 50-60 words based on the following situation:
You have got to know that your classmate, Michael, is organizing a weekend excursion for the class. And you are thinking of joining the trip. Write him a note expressing your interest
in the excursion and asking for information on two details related to the excursion.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy.
真题的第一行左边为试题名称,指出写作的第二部分为便条写作,右边为规定的写作时间。

题目之下分为三段,第一、三段的斜体提示语历年不变,只是从2004年开始加了“ANSWER SHEET TWO”,以指明便条写作的做题之处,以免写错地方。

考生一般都可以快速浏览一下,但也不可过于忽视。

而中间这段即为设定的场景,也是考生需认真阅读的,它要求考生按照要求写作。

从历年的试题来看,便条的字数、格式基本不变,所以考生在掌握格式后,最主要的任务是认真对待正文内容。

现分别对便条的字数、格式及相关要求进行分析说明。

一、字数要求
便条写作的字数要求一般限制在50字至60字之间。

考生可以根据个人的行距习惯控制每行的字数,再决定需要写的行数。

一定不要
写得太多,亦不可字数不够,尽量控制在要求的字数内。

二、格式要求
便条格式较简单,一般包括以下几个基本要素:1)日期(Date);2)称呼(Salutation);3)正文(Body);4)签名(Signature)。

它们的位置安排如下表:
1.日期要求
便条首先要写日期,日期应写在右上角,其写法一般以美式为主,即先写月份再写具体日期,例如:May 7。

在书写月份缩写时,不可写错,建议在缩写的月份后加一点,以示缩写,例如:Jan.,Feb.,Mar.,Apr.,May,Jun.,Jul.,Aug.,Sep.,Oct.,Nov.,Dec.。

一般来说,除五月(May)外,所有的月份皆可缩写成三个字母,但建议六月(June)与七月(July)不缩写,因为这两个月份本身较短,还有九月份(Sept.)建议缩写成四个字
母。

日期部分一般不写年份,但可以写星期几或星期几上午、下午,还可以写具体时刻。

2.称呼要求
称呼指阅读便条者的名字,写在日期下行的左边。

专四便条写作中,这一项常常有暗示,即考生必须写提示语中的称呼。

如果写成其他的称呼就可能出现格式错误。

称呼写完后,通常要在其后打一个逗号,当然也可以打一个冒号,只是冒号稍微正式一点。

另外,称呼前面的“Dear”一般可以不用写。

3.正文要求
正文内容一般较短,而且在提示语中都有内容要求,大概都有三到四点,所以写作时,只需两、三句话即可表达清楚。

这几句话中要包括事由及相关内容。

下表将历年的专四便条内容进行分类分析,并提供部分常用句型,以供参考。

4.签名要求
签名即为写便条者的名字,写在正文的右下角。

但在考试时,就不要签署自己的真实姓名。

如果提示语没有暗示,可就随意签个名字,也可签上自己的英文名。

而签名前的结束语一般不要写,但如果自己想写,就一定不要写错,注意它通常是以逗号结尾的。

在1997年与1998年连续两年的便条写作中,称呼与签名都有限制,即考生必须按要求写名字。

综上所述,便条写作首先要做到格式正确。

其次是,正文内容必须按要求的几点书
写,也不要出现拼写或文法错误。

最后,对自己的字迹也要注意,不可涂改太多,要保持卷面的整洁。

只有这样做,我们才能在便条的写作中取得好的成绩。
