BEC商务信件写作部分攻略
以下是商业信函的写法:
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:
12062003
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:
