关于便条
便条是一种简单的书信。
虽然内容简单，但却有其独特的风格。
主要目的是为了尽快地把最新的信息、通知、要求或者活动的时间、地点转告给对方。
常见的便条有欠条、留言和请假条等。
特点：
1. 文内语言尽量通俗口语化，简单扼要，直截了当，无需使用客套语言。
In a roundabout way
2. 便条虽简单，但中心务必突出，更要注明活动的时间及地点。
3. 便条不需邮寄，不用信封。
通常请人代为转交。
有时可写在留言板和留言簿上。
基本写作格式：
便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。
但各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素：
1）Date
2）Salutation称呼
3）Body正文
4）Signature
评分标准：
格式不对扣1分
超字数或字数达不到扣1分
语法、拼写错误3个扣1分。
主要内容是否交待清楚占最大比重。
造成错误的原因
不写日期或日期格式不对，很多学生习惯将它太写在右下方。
署名后不应该有任何标点符号，而很多学生习惯点上句号。
结束语与署名写在一行。
1．Yours写成Your
2．结束语后不加逗号
3．语言不得体，比如，对于很随便的情景，使用很正式的句子结构和用词。
Jan. 1, 2003 \ Feb. 1\ March 9\April 9\May 9\June 9\July 9\Aug.9\Oct. 9\Nov. 9\Dec. 9
实例分析：
Oct. 12
日期写在右上角，在年份与月日之间必须用逗号隔开。
月日不用。
Dear Jenny, (左边顶格写起并自成一行，称呼后需要加标点，英国人习惯语用逗号，美国人习惯用冒号)
“Star Wars” is on at Cinecenter at 7:30. W e’ll meet you there at 7:15 for a quick coffee first. It’ll probably go on for 2 hours. Pizza afterwards.
Yours,
Tom
在正文结束前，通常需要采用结束语，告知对方信的正文部分已经写完。
常用的结束语有：
1. Awaiting your good news.
2. Looking forward to your early reply.
3. Hoping to hear from you soon.
4. We wait your good news.
5. I hope to hear from you very soon.

8. Your early reply will be highly appreciated.

17. With love and good wishes.
Salutations:

Dear Sir or Madam:
Dear Smith:
Dear Mrs. Smith/Miss Smith
Complimentary closings:
Sincerely yours,
Cordially yours, (Cordially, or Sincerely, alone may be used if we address the reader by his first name; in this case, it is not good practice to use any of the following closes)

Very truly yours,
Yours faithfully,
Yours,
Cordially,
