BEC商务信函写作攻略
第一章格式问题
1•格式:
BEC的写作中请采用平头式的写法。
收信人的姓名和地址写在信纸的左上方
标点符号不111现于地址、称呼和结束礼词后
右上方写日期
段落从定格开始,段落之间的行距为两行(但在考试中市于受答题卡限制,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:
DearSirorMadam
Yoursfaithfully
DearMr/Ms/Mrs/MissSmith
Yourssincerely
DearJohn
Bestwishes
以下均为错误用法:
DearMrJohn
DearMrJohnSmith
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:
12072013
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:
12July2003
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。
第二章写法问题
预备参加bee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坏境:
1.信件的开头:
Wearewritingtoenquireabout•…
Wcarcwritinginconnectionwith…
Weareinterestedin...andwewouldliketoknow•…
例句:
Youwanttoknowthepricesofsomeairconditioners.
Weareinterestedinyourairconditionerandwewouldliketoknowthepricesofsomeairconditioners.
Yousawanadvertisementinthenewspaperyesterdayandyouwantfurtherinfonnation.
Wearewritinginconnectionwiththeadvertisementinthenewspaperyesterday.
YouwanttoknowifthecompanyyouarewritingtoorganizesholidaystoAfrica.
WearewritingtoinquireabouttheholidaystoAfricathatyourcompanyorganizes.
2.回信的开头:
Thankyouforyourletterof(date)
askingif・・・
enquiringabout
Wehavereceivedyourletterof(date)
enclosing…
concerning…
例句:
Acompanywrotetoyouon23July.Theywantedtoknowifyousellphotocopiers.
Thankyouforyourletterof23July,askingifwesellphotocopiers.
Amanwrotetoyouon18Decembe匚Hewantedemploymentwithyourcompany.Healsosenthiscurriculumvitae・

Awomantelephonedyouthismorning.ShewantedtoknowifherorderNo.599hadarrived.
ThankyouforyourtelephonecallthismorningconcerningtheorderNo.599.
3.信件的结尾:
1lookforwardtoreceivingyourreply/order/products/ect・Lookingforwardtohearingfromyou.
如果你在信件中提供了信息:
Ihopethatthisinformationwillhelpyou.
Pleasecontactmeifyouneedanyfurtherinformation.
Pleasefeelfreetocontactmeifyouhaveanyfurtherquestions.
Pleaseletmeknowifyouneedanyfurtherinformation.
4.引入主题:
Withreferenceto...
Furtherto...
Withregardto...
1amwritinginconnectionwith•…
注:
withregardto不能用于信件的开头。
例句:

6.说明你所能做到的和不能做到的:

例句:

WearesorrythatweareunabletoacceptpaymentsinEgyptianpoundsbutweareabletoacceptUSdollars.
7•原因阐述:
Thisis
owingto...dueto...
aresultof...becauseof…
注:
owingto用于坏消息。
可在后面加上thefactthat的从句。
坏境:

Wehavebeenforcetoincreaseourprices.Thisisowingtothefallofthedollar.

9.抱歉:
Wemustapologizefor•…
Weapologizefor...
Weareextremelysorryfor•••
注:
以上句型后请使用动词ing形式。
以上句型中的for可以换成that,然后用从句表达。
一般来说,解释产生问题的原因,然后在信的结尾处再次表达歉意。
再次抱歉:
Pleaseacceptourapologiesonceagain.
Wehopethatthishasnotcausedyouanyinconvenience.Withapologiesonceagain.
