考研英语写作小作文之备忘录

在考研英语的Part A 小作文部分，除了书信这个考查重点之外，《大纲》还明确规定了另外两种告示类应用文的考查形式，即通知和备忘录。上篇文章中，我们已经详细讨论过了通知的写作方法及其注意事项。对此，大家务必要仔细总结和研究，理清通知的写作思路。除此之外，对于备忘录，大家也须认真准备格式写作方法以及正文的写作思路，因此本文就对此种应用文进行深入的解析。

备忘录，英文中称为memo或者memorandum，是一种记录有关活动或事务，起揭示或提醒作用，以免忘却或忽视的应用文。写作时，内容须详实、具体、完备，语言要朴实、准确。

首先，作为一种独立的应用文类型，备忘录自成一家，有其独特的规范化的写作格式。而格式恰当又是考研英语小作文中非常重要的一项评分标准，因此首先我们就对备忘录的写作格式进行说明讲解。一般说来，完整而又正式的备忘录的格式通常如下：

Memo

To:

From:

Date:

Subject:

对此备忘录的格式大家需要清晰掌握，尤其是涉及到一些细节问题，比如Subject下面就是正文内容，但是这两者之间确是要空两行的空间，这也是《大纲解析》上面的范文所明确使用的格式;其次，之前所写过的各种书信以及通知在正文之后都有署名，而备忘录的最后却是没有的。对于这些细节问题大家可以与书信，通知等对比着去记，以免弄混三者。 以上就是备忘录的格式问题。接下来就以范文为例主要看一下其正文内容的写作思路。 一般来说，在考研英语中，备忘录主体部分的写作可按照三个步骤进行，即“三步走”策略。

Memo

To: All Employees

From: Berry Silver, President

Date: June 22nd, 2014

Subject: Entertainments or Gifts during Spring Festival

At around this time of year, many invitations are received from companies and clients to Spring Festival dinners. Gifts are also sometimes received. I am sure that such offers only result from a job being well done and it is certainly pleasing to know that the level of service provided by staff is appreciated.

However, the acceptance of any offers, entertainment or gifts, can lead to either a real or perceived conflict of interest. To ensure that this does not arise, all such offers should be declined and gifts returned.

I should appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

首段：一般来说，无论是书信还是通知，第一段的主要内容就是表明自己的写作目的。 第 1 页 共 1 页

但是在备忘录中，情况却并不如此。鉴于备忘录是起提示或警示作用的应用文，因此在表明这种提示或警示的主要目的前需要先介绍此事件的发生背景，主要包含相关事情及人物的介绍等等。

中段：此段就是要写明通知的主要内容，也就是其写作目的了。到底是要提醒写作对象某个事情呢还是警示收信对象不要去做某些事情，则是由具体题目而定了。不过，不管怎么说，思路一定要富有逻辑，语言切记要委婉，尤其是警示对方时，这一点就显得更为重要了。 尾段：本段中，紧接前面内容，说完自己的主要目的之后，就要进行结尾了。作为一封警示性的备忘录，结尾中自然是要向写作对象表明希望其理解并合作的期望了。

以上就是考研英语应用文写作中备忘录的格式规范以及写作思路的梳理，至于具体的句型表达，则需大家按照具体题目来自行安排了。
