段落之间的行距为两行 但在考试中由于受答题卡限制 请同学们 酌情考虑 写信人的名字和头衔在签名下方 2 称呼和结束礼词的注意事项 称呼的写法遵循下列原则 Dear Sir or Madam写信给某一公司 不确定具体的收信人 Dear Sir对男士 但是你不知道他的具体姓名 Dear Madam对女士 但是你不知道他的具体姓名 Dear Mr Smith对男士 Dear Ms Smith对已婚或未婚的女士 Dear Mrs Smith对已婚女士 Dear Miss Smith对未婚女士 Dear John 此处 John 为英语中常用男名 对朋友或你比较熟悉的人 通常为多年生 意伙伴 称呼与结束礼词存在对应的关系 请同学们特别注意 Dear Sir or MadamYours faithfully Dear Mr Ms Mrs Miss SmithYours sincerely Dear JohnBest wishes 以下均为错误用法 Dear Mr John 3 Dear Mr John Smith 3 日期 在英国英语中 天在前 但是在美国英语中 月份在前 所以某些特别的时期容易引 起误解 例如 12 07 2013 在英国指的是 7 月 12 日 在美国指的是 12 月 07 日 因此日期要写成 12 July 2003 注释 在 BEC 考试中同学们可以采用恩波所推荐的用法 要记住月份使用大些字母开 头 天后不必写 th rd nd 或者 st 第二章第二章 写法问题写法问题 预备参加 bec 考试的同学们由于缺乏商务写作的实际经验 对于写作部分都比较郁闷 结合历年考试实际 15 类共计 50 个经典的实战句型 供大家在考场上使用 我们对每 一个句型都模拟了一种环境 1 信件的开头 We are writing to
