2006年考研英语写作分成两部分:第一部分是应用文写作,包括书信、便笺、备忘录等,要求写100字左右;第二部分是短文写作,这部分字数要求跟以往不一样,以往要求写200多字,现在要求写160字到200字之间。本文给大家讲讲便笺写作(Note Writing)写作要点。 便笺写作(Note Writing)实际上与书信写作(Letter Writing)大致相似,但有三点主要不同:
1. 便笺较随便,因此语气通常更轻松,格式和语言都是如此。2. 通常便笺较短,应言简意赅,这意味着你必须略去冗余信息。3. 便笺写起来往往更具个性化,通常语言更接近口语,更直接。
一、样 题:
Directions:
You are late for an appointment with a professor. You also have books that are due at the library in a few hours. Write a note to your roommate asking if she could return the books for you. In return for the favor, offer to buy her lunch.
You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
范文:
Dear Jane,
I have a big favor to ask you. I am late for my appointment with Professor Jones, and need to go directly to his office. I also have two books that are due back at the library this evening. As I will not be able to get to the library before it closes, I was wondering if you would possibly have the time to return the books for me.
