Vocabulary Consolidation on Unit 1a (page 163)IV. 便函写作一、什么是便函简单地说，便函就是指在同一家机构内从一个人或一个部门传递到另一个人或部门的书面信息，内容是要在当天或近期内所要办理的事情。二、便函写作的格式便函通常包含以下几个部分：1. 公司名称；2. 公司的电话号码或传真号码；3. 收函人姓名（和职位）To:4. 留言人姓名（和职位）From:5. 留言日期Date:6. 便函主题Subject（Re）:7. 正文下面我们选择两则便函为例，结合我们刚刚讲到的有关便函的知识，给大家做一个具体的讲解。例一：Ace ElectronicsTel/Fax: 0525 22891022/7/99To: M. Jones From: J. BanksI need to hire a car for the day to get me to the exhibition on 14th of next month. Can you book one? You can use my credit card. I dont think it matters what kind of car it is, but I dont want to pay more than $45.例二：MEMOTo:From:Re: Your enquiry of the 20th October II. 便函写作应试技巧一、题目要求在考试时，题目中会给你一个特定的情景，同时会告诉给你要完成三项写作任务；题目中会有清楚的字数限制，即40-50字，超出或少于这个字数限制都会影响你的成绩。二、便函写作的要求简洁：不用写许多空洞的客套话。内容要直截了当，开门见山。完整：在用词和造句时要用完整句，不能因为这是一种非正式文体的写作就可以用缩略句，这些做法都是错误的。实用：写出一条便函、便条、电子短信或留言，一定要有实用性。要少用空泛、含混的概念，而用具体、明确的词汇和句子。交代给对方做的事情或通知对方的内容一定要让对方能够易于操作，准确无误地完成。 以上三点说起来容易，做起来难。下面我们就来演练一下。请看下面题目：You are Head of Research for an international car manufacturer. You have to make an urgent trip tomorrow to visit Pierre Blanco, a colleague who works for a subsidiary.Write a memo of 40-50 words to your secretary.telling her who you are going to see and whenasking her to book flight tickets and accommodationtelling her what work you would like her to do in your absence.题目分析Overall effect: The secretary would know where the Head of Research was going and when, and would understand she was required to book flights and accommodation, and what work she should do tomorrow.参考答案：参考答案一To: Alice Hu, Personal SecretaryFrom: David Guan, Head of ResearchDate: 1 May 2001Subject*: Urgent trip to subsidiary companyI have to make an urgent trip tomorrow, 2nd May 2001, to visit Pireer Blanco.
