例1、Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student services department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.

MEMO

To: The leader of student service department

From: Li Ming

Date: August 16, 2005

Subject: Telephone

I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory. As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.

We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us. Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication. I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.

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。

商务英语写作 – 内部商务写作 – Memo

商务写作-内部商务往来

Internal business correspondence

内部商务往来的商务写作目的在于通知信息、布置安排、征求意见等，用于办公内部成员间的信息交流。属于中性/非正式文书。一般英文字数在40~50词之间，中文不超过300字。具体内容将看情况而定，但任然要注意，英文商务写作要求是“简洁明了”

写作形式

? 电子邮件 Email

? 备忘录 Memo

? 便条 Note

? 便函 Message

注：一般来说，E-mail 与 Note 和 Memo 的书写格式是相近的，都包括收信人姓名、正文、结束语和署名四个要素。不同的是，写Memo的格式较为不同，需要看清楚，并做好比较。

Memo的格式

注：以上是较为正式的 Memo记录，日常的Memo可以不加 Subject，只要内容清晰明白。但是遇到较为正式的商务要求，可以参照以上的格式。注意不用添加过多的结束语，可以在内容中添加相关的一些话语道谢/ 提醒：thanks/ remind/。也可以不加。
