题目解读
BEC中级写作考试总时长为45分钟，根据词数要求和分值，通常小作文写作不超过15分钟。应试创作可分成以下三步：1．审题构思Read & Plan (3 mins)；2．写作Write (10 mins)；
3．检查Check (2 mins)。
Part One的题目背景通常是一事、两人、三要点。本题中，最近公司利润增长，“你”作为公司的董事总经理(Managing Director)将对全体员工(all staff)进行奖励，备忘录的内容需包括三个要点：感谢员工的贡献，解释利润增长原因，并告之奖励内容。正文词数要求为40～50个词，因为商务英语要求简洁，词数要求有上限，这和四、六级以及考研写作只规定词数下限有所区别，但实际考试时允许少量超标，比如接近60词。

To: Mr. Brown manager of operations
From: Betty Green Supervisor
Subject: comments on the "punch-in" system
Date: September 21
This is further to your memo dated back to June 12， 2006， in which you proposed that the employees adopt the “punchin” system.
I fully agree with you that we should take measures to increase the productivity and that we would a tighter control over the employees if the “punch-in” system is adopted. However， honestly speaking， I don't think that adopting a tighter system will increase productivity. The most effective way to increase productivity， in my opinion， is to give the employees more incentives to work. I think we could further discuss other possibility of achieving this goal.

如何写英文备忘录（MEMO）
一、概述
备忘录是一种录以备忘的公文。在公文函件中，它的等级是比较低的，主要用来提醒、督促对方，或就某个问题提出自己的意见或看法。在业务上，它一般用来补充正式文件的不足。它的内容可以分为以下几项：
书端(Heading);
收文人的姓名、头衔、地址(Addressee’s Name, Title, Address)；
称呼(Salutation)；
事因(Subject)；
正文(Body) ；
结束语(Complimentary Close)；
署名(Signature)。
二、注意事项
书端部分包括发文机关的名称、地址、发文日期，有的还包括电报挂号、电传号、电话号码等。许多机关有自己特制的信笺，在写书端时，其格式和标点符号的使用与一般信件的相同。收文人(或收文单位)的姓名、头衔、地址一项写在左上角编号处的下面，其格式与书信的写法相同。
称呼从左边顶格写起，对一般机关、团体的负责人一般用 Dear Sir， 对政府官员可用 Sir。 “事因”一项目前采用得较少。它可放在称呼语之前，也可放在其后，前面可加 Re或Docket, Subject。如果此项写在称呼语之前，多从左边的顶格写起；若放在称呼语之后，一般写在信笺正中。它多采用不完整的句子，只需很少几个词，甚至一个词，目的在于使收文人对文中的主要内容一目了然，便于及时处理。
