专四便条写作指导原则1

如何写好英文便条 （一）

英文书信有正式与非正式之分，英文便条为非正式书信。便条是一种简短信函，多使用非正式语体，它的形式比一般书信简单。

TEM4( 英语 专业四级 考试 )把写便条(note-writing)列入必考项目之一，其目的是测试英语专业学生在基础阶段末用英语书面表达思想的能力。

便条成绩在TEM4笔试成绩中虽只占10%，却如同一面镜子，能反映出学生英语书面交际的能力。

1. 要求：格式正确，语言得体，时间为10分钟，单词为 50-60个单词

2. 范文

让大家对便条有一个概念。

20xx年作文

Your friend Clare has invited you to her house-warming party this weekend. However, you will be away then. Write her a note politely declining her invitation and expressing your best wishes to her.

Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.

November 12, 2002 Dear Clare,

Congratulations on your moving into a new house and thanks a lot for your invitation to your house-warming party this weekend. But I won’t be able to come because I have to be in Beijing on business this Friday and will return until next Monday. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy the party and wish the new house of yours would bring you a wonderful new life.

Yours, Mike

英语专业四级 考试 大纲 的要求其实也给TEM4便条制定了评分标准。

1 TEIM4便条的评分往往从格式、内容、语言、字数这四方面来考虑。因此，要想写好TEM4便条，就必须掌握TEM4便条的基本要求，注意TEM4便条写作中常见的问题，以便对症下药，充分发挥自己的英文写作水平。

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、正文(body)及结尾(ending)，结尾包括结尾套语和签名(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，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，20xx年4月21日通常写成April 21，2008或April 21st，2008;

当然，由于是非正式书信，也可以去掉年份，写成April 2l或April 21st (不过，这种写法，只是最近两年才被TEM4接受)，

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. Pierce，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，称呼时也只需在其前加Dear便可，即称Dear Mrs. Wang或Dear Mr. Wang，若只称Dear Wang则视为不妥。

当对方为亲属时，在Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可，如Dear Grandpa，Dear Aunt, 称呼后面要用逗号。

3.正文

正文是写便条人要叙述或谈论的事情，是便条的主要组成部分。

一般书信是在称呼下方隔两行处开始写正文。

但就TEM4便条而言，一般在称呼的下一行开始写正文便可。

正文的首行左边一般留约5个字母宽的空白。便条的内容简单、字数少，因此，正文一般只需写一段或两段。若有两段，第二段的首行应与第一段的首行对齐写。

4.结尾

如前所述，结尾包括结尾套语和签名。

(1)结尾套语结尾套语的位置一般是在正文最后一行的下面，从便条的中央部分开始，稍向右缩进。开头字母要大写，末尾要用逗号。结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌，措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定。现分述如下：

① 致不熟悉的人，宜用较庄重的套语，如Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，或Sincerely等。

② 对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yours respectfully或Respectfully yours。

③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用 ①中提到的较庄重的套语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。

④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如，Yours，Love，With love，Best wishes，Best regards等等。

⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种：Love，With love，All my love，Yours affectionately，Affectionately yours，Lovingly yours，Yours lovingly，但对亲人，不宜用Sincerely yours~由于TEM4便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情，写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人，因此，TEM4通常只接受Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，Sincerely，或Yours这几种结尾套语。

(2)签名即写便条人署名，位于结尾套语下，偏右。签名也由写便条人和收便条人的关系和亲疏程度而定。有时TEM4指定了写便条人的名字，签名时应采用那个名字。若无指定名字，考生也不宜用自己的真名。一般只需写英文名不写姓。

 

第二篇：专四便条

英语专业四级考试中作文测试的应对措施

写作简介 与12种便条

在现行的英语专业四级考试(TEM-4)中，写作测试由两部分组成，即便条和作文。其中，作文是学生反映问题较为集中的部分。在平时的教学过程当中，总有很多同学询问如何才能够在短时间内提高专四作文水平。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，从而获取最佳效果。以下，笔者就专四作文的应试策略谈几点看法。一、时间安排作文的写作时间为35分钟，合理的时间安排为10+20+5。前面的10分钟用来读题审题，构思并列提纲，这是考生常常忽视的一个至关重要的环节。正确的读题审题有利于理清行文思路，也避免了差之毫厘、失之千里的遗憾。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，避免了想到哪就写到哪的盲目性。接着的20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。二、卷面设置对于作文这样的主观题而言，考生与阅卷老师在无形之中彼此互动、相互影响。一个考生可以做的，首先是通过卷面给阅卷老师留下好的第一印象。要想使自己的文章在大约一分钟的阅读时间内给老师以赏心悦目的感觉，作文的排版应该不多于卷面的2／3，不少于1／3。换句话说，就是要留有余地，不要将卷面写得密密麻麻。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。三、作文结构及内容 TEM- 4作文的体裁以议论文为主，由四个部分组成：标题 (title)，介绍(introduction)，主体(body)和结尾(conclusion)。作文题目要求中一般包含标题，所以需要考生完成的就只有其余三个部分。

专四作文 便条

学者们认为，便条是一种简短信函，多使用非正式语体，它的形式比一般书信简单。例如，写便条的人与收便条的人的地址、称呼中“Dear'?一词、日期中的年份以及结尾套语(complimentary close，亦称结束语)，都可以省去；便条正文篇幅可小至一、两句话。可是，TEM4便条写作而言，并不完全像以上说的那样，它有一定的限制。 英语专业四级考试大纲TEM4写便条的要求是，“根据提示写大约50-60的通知、便条、请贴等。要求格式正确，语言得体。” 英语专业四级考试大纲的要求其实也给TEM4便条制定了评分标准。TEIM4便条的评分往往从格式、内容、语言、字数这四方面来考虑。因此，要想写好TEM4便条，就必须掌握TEM4便条的基本要求，注意TEM4便条写作中常见的问题，以便对症下药，充分发挥自己的英文写作水平。
