BEC高级写作材料

1、写作部分BECHIGHER写作部分主要涉及商业信函和图表写作两部分的内容，现具体介绍如下：商业信函第一章格式问题1 .格式问题：请同学们在BEC的写作中采用平头式的写法。收信人的姓名和地址置于信纸的左上方地址、称呼和结束礼词后没有标点符号日期在右上方段落从定格开始，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：DearSirorMadam写信给某一公司，不确定具体的收信人DearSir对男士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名DearMadam对女士，但是你不知道他的具体姓名DearMrSmith对

2、男士DearMsSmith对已婚或未婚的女士DearMrsSmith对已婚女士DearMissSmith对未婚女士DearJohn（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:DearSirorMadamYoursfaithfullyDearMr/Ms/Mrs/MissSmithYourssincerelyDearJohnBestwishes以下均为错误用法:DearMrJohnDearMrJohnSmith3 .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：12062

3、003在英国指的是：6月21日在美国指的是：12月6日因此日期要写成：12June2003注释：在bec考试中同学们可以采用恩波所推荐的用法。但是12062003的用法仍然是可以使用的，因为bec为英版考试。在使用恩波推荐的用法时，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。恩波结合历年考试实际，为大家准备了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：WearewritingtoenquireaboutWearewriting
