在考研英語小作文寫作中，除了常見的信函寫作外，大綱中規(guī)定考生還需要掌握備忘錄和公告的寫法。這兩種類型大家遇到的比較少，可能對(duì)它們的書寫格式也不是很清楚，本文就詳細(xì)談一下如何進(jìn)行備忘錄及公告的寫作。

　　備忘錄屬于廣義信函中的一種，它是公司或者部門內(nèi)部的通訊形式，主要是員工之間傳遞信息，比如會(huì)議安排、情況通報(bào)、問題處理等。其內(nèi)容要求簡(jiǎn)明準(zhǔn)確，句式要求完整。備忘錄的內(nèi)容一般包括以下幾個(gè)部分：

　　1、標(biāo)題：Memo位于第一行正中

　　2、信頭：包括To, From, Subject和Date等措詞。To后面接收件人姓名、職務(wù)等，from后面接備忘錄寫作者的姓名、職務(wù)等，date后寫日期，subject后是備忘錄主要內(nèi)容的概括性小標(biāo)題。具體模板如下：

　　To: 收文人，如Tom，All Faculty

　　From: 發(fā)文人，如Li Ming

　　Date: 日期，如January 14th, 2010

　　Subject: 主題，如Employee Training

　　3、正文段落：主題下面空兩行寫正文，不用寫稱呼和結(jié)尾禮詞。

　　4、打字員姓名首字母：寫在正文末行空一行的地方。如果沒有的話，也可以不寫。

　　5、附件：如果沒有，則不需要。

　　下面我們根據(jù)一個(gè)情境來寫一篇備忘錄。

　　You are Li Ming, the president of a company. Write a memorandum (memo) to Tom, the vice-president on the employee’s training on computer, telling him the need to train the employees, detailed information, and ask him to write a plan.

　　Memo

　　To：Tom, Vice President

　　From：Li Ming, President

　　Date：January 14, 2010

　　Subject：Computer Training of the Staff

　　In order to deal with the problem of the high rate of computer illiteracy of the staff, we need to make up a plan for training our employees.

　　The following factors should be considered. First of all, the class runs two hours a week for ten weeks. Furthermore, the employees are supposed to be classified into different classes according to their current computer knowledge. Finally, the company had better put the employees through the program in turn.

　　I would like you to write up a brief proposal covering the above information. And you can add other details if necessary.

　　需要注意的地方是記得在第一行中間位置寫上Memo,并且信頭的四要素一個(gè)都不可以缺少，另外，正文要空兩行再寫。

　　告示、通知之類的應(yīng)用文，寫法靈活多樣，其目的是為了告訴公眾某件事或某項(xiàng)活動(dòng)。這類應(yīng)用文又可以分為兩類：一類是有關(guān)部門就某事發(fā)出的通知或張貼的告示，另一類是關(guān)于會(huì)議或活動(dòng)的簡(jiǎn)單通知，此類文章至少需要包含以下內(nèi)容：時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和活動(dòng)內(nèi)容。要特別注意第二類應(yīng)用文的寫作，不要忘記寫上時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)。下面我們來看一個(gè)情境，學(xué)習(xí)一下如何寫公告。

　　You are supposed to write for the postgraduate association a notice to recruit volunteers for an international conference on globalization. The notice should include the basic qualification for applicants and the other information which you think is relevant.

　　You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　Do not sign your own name at the end of the notice.

　　Use " postgraduate association " instead.(10 points)

　　Volunteers needed

　　(January 9, 2010日期可寫可不寫)

　　To improve students’ ability and enrich extracurricular activities, the Postgraduate’ Association is recruiting volunteers for an international conference on globalization to be held in Beijing on April 7, 2010 .

　　To begin with, applicants should have Chinese nationality, a strong professional spirit, cheerful personality and be aged under 35. In addition, candidates must have outstanding skills at English listening comprehension and the ability to speak Chinese and English fluently. Finally, students with relevant professional experience are preferred.

　　Those postgraduates who are interested in taking part in it may sign up with the monitor of their classes before February 1, 2010. Everybody is welcome to join it.

　　Postgraduate Association

　　最后，建議大家在平時(shí)備考的時(shí)候可以練習(xí)一兩篇備忘錄或是公告類型文章，這樣可以鍛煉大家對(duì)該類型文章的寫作能力。持之以恒，注意積累，相信大家的考研英語作文水平會(huì)有進(jìn)一步的提升。
