第一篇:英語實(shí)用文體寫作系列 5請假條
Unit 5 請假條(Note Asking for Leave)
一、寫作技巧
如何用英語寫假條,也就是提前請假的狀況下應(yīng)該怎樣寫假條。
往往指由于生病或特殊情況不能親自當(dāng)面請假,用假條的形式告假。所以,請假條大多是病假條??梢宰詫懀部烧埶舜鷮?。寫假條最重要的是說明原因和請假的期限。寫請假條時(shí),如有醫(yī)生出具的證明,最好一起附上。
首先是假條抬頭: To:假條是遞給誰的 From:請假人
Date:寫假條的日期(注意不是請假的日期)
Subject:寫上請假字樣
假條抬頭范例如下:
To: Peter Stone, Manager
From: Lynn Chen, Financial Department
Date: April 2nd, 2004
Subject: Casual Leave of Absence
其次,在您的請假信第一段,應(yīng)該開門見山、有禮貌地提出請假。第一段要中心明確,寫清您要請假的日期及期限。
第一段范例如下:
Peter, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday.然后,在假條的第二段,您應(yīng)該簡單明了陳述請假的原因事由。注意敘述清楚明白,并盡可能表示對此帶來工作不便的歉意。
第二段范例如下:
This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth.I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight.The situation could worsen, should infection occur.Concerning my workload: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution.I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.接著,在假條的最后一段,應(yīng)寫上您希望獲得準(zhǔn)假的句子,或者具體等候答復(fù)的時(shí)間。
最后一段范例如下:
Thanks.I will call you at 1:30p.m.or you can call me at any time.好,把以上幾段綜合起來,就是一則請假條。寫得成功的請假條,能充分表明您是一個(gè)認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)有條理的人。
二、經(jīng)典范文 例一:

第三篇:中考英語文體寫作指要
中考英語文體寫作指要
就是同學(xué)們需要具備一些初步的文體基礎(chǔ)知識,特別是記敘文、說明文和應(yīng)用文的一些基礎(chǔ)知識。
一、記敘文
有時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、事件、原因和結(jié)果6個(gè)要素。其中時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物一般作為故事的開端放在文章的開頭;事件和原因常用為故事的發(fā)展,放在文章的中間,是文章的主體;結(jié)果常作為故事的結(jié)局放在文章的最后。溫馨提示:(1)時(shí)態(tài):故事、日記和報(bào)道之類的文章常是記敘過去發(fā)生的事,為常用一般過去時(shí)。敘述當(dāng)前的自然、社會(huì)現(xiàn)象多用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。(2)人稱:常用第一人稱或第三人稱。
二、說明文
中考中的說明主要是介紹物品、人物、家庭、班級、學(xué)校、家鄉(xiāng)房間或建筑及地點(diǎn)場所等中??砂磿r(shí)間順序和空間位置進(jìn)行說明。除介紹歷史人物用一般過去時(shí)外,通以一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)為主。
三、應(yīng)用文
中考中的應(yīng)用文主要有書信、通知、請假條、留言條等。同學(xué)們要著重注意與漢語格式的不同之處。如漢語信中的寫信日期寫在信末的右下方,而英語信的寫信日期位于信箋的右上方,漢語信的稱呼后冒號,而英語信的稱呼后一般用逗號;漢語信末常在結(jié)束語后寫上“某某敬上”、“某某頓首”等,而英文信末,在右下方寫上Yours(truly / sincerely / faithfully)后加逗號,再在其下面簽名;請假條和便條的格式與英文書信差不多,只是寫的日期一般不需寫年月,只寫日期或星期幾、上午 / 下午或幾點(diǎn)鐘;英文書面通知的發(fā)布單位可像漢語通知一樣寫在通知正文末的右下方,也可寫在NOTICE的上方或前方,通知日期可寫在通知正文的右上方也可寫在通知最后的左下方;口頭通知均以That’s all.Thank you結(jié)尾。

Risk Worth Taking in Life
There is no denying that life is filled with uncountable undesirable risks.To illustrate, a driver throws himself into danger when driving too fast or after drinking a lot, and a heavy smoker is running the risk of
suffering from lung cancer.Still in our life, however, there are many risks worth taking, since they will bring you success, fame or pleasure.There are many worthy and rewarding risks.A case in point is that you try to pursue the girl you love;another case in point is that starting one’s own business, esp.for a laid-off worker.Besides, buying stocks is another risk worth taking.But one thing is certain, luck and misfortune will accompany you as twin brothers.To sum up, although undergoing risks can make you more

第五篇:英語實(shí)用文體寫作系列 祝賀
祝賀
(一)祝辭、賀辭從祝賀對象上看可以分為四類
1.祝賀壽誕
祝賀壽誕的主要對象是老年人。在祝賀中,即贊頌他已取得的輝煌成績,又祝愿他幸福 健康長壽。祝賀壽誕的對象也可以是新得子女的一對夫妻,賀其喜得子嗣,祝其夫妻生活更 加甜美。祝賀壽誕的對象也可以是自己,稱自壽。自壽往往抒發(fā)個(gè)人的感慨、抱負(fù),或自勉。如 :
2.祝賀事業(yè)
事業(yè)成功的祝賀涉及范圍極廣。如會(huì)議開始時(shí)祝其圓滿成功,會(huì)議結(jié)束時(shí)賀會(huì)議圓滿結(jié)束; 展覽會(huì)剪裁時(shí)祝其取得較好的社會(huì)效益,展覽會(huì)結(jié)束時(shí)賀其已取得了預(yù)期目的;某人考入大學(xué)時(shí),賀其金榜題名,祝其鵬程萬里、百尺竿頭再進(jìn)一步;其它如公司開業(yè)、銀行開張、報(bào)刊創(chuàng)刊、社團(tuán)紀(jì)念等均可賀其已取得的成就,祝其今后事業(yè)的順利發(fā)達(dá)。3.祝賀婚嫁
既賀新婚,又祝新人婚姻今后和諧美滿。4.祝賀酒宴。
(二)(二)祝辭、賀辭從表達(dá)形式上看可分為兩類 1.現(xiàn)場即席致辭祝賀
一般說來,在較為隨意輕松的場合可以即興表示祝賀;但在公共事務(wù)場合下,為莊重嚴(yán)肅起見,應(yīng)按事先擬好的祝賀辭發(fā)言。2.信函電傳祝賀
有時(shí)祝賀人無法到場祝賀,在這樣的情況下,可以用書信的方式祝賀,也可以拍發(fā)電報(bào)、傳真或用電子郵件來表示祝賀之意。
My dear friend, it’s time for you to cast a wise vote.Please don’t hesitate to vote for me,(期待投票是老套)because you have known me quite well and I will exert myself to live up to your expectation.(表態(tài)感謝也重要)Thank you.從該演講詞中看出,作者開頭先做了個(gè)簡單的自我介紹(姓名和所讀院系),然后直奔主題---參加學(xué)生會(huì)主席一職的競選,并表示客套(be honored to)。接著,第二段緊扣提綱,介紹自己可以勝任學(xué)生會(huì)主席的工作的原因,即作者自身的素質(zhì)表現(xiàn),如能力、性格、愛好等完全適合該職。介紹自我表現(xiàn)要有條理性,所以一二三不能少,因?yàn)槁牨娛歉鶕?jù)演講者的自我陳述來判定該投票選誰,這也關(guān)系到演講者能否競選成功。同時(shí),要注意把客觀陳述和主觀評論結(jié)合起來,因?yàn)檫@樣能更好地引導(dǎo)聽眾的想法和判斷,也能更好地表現(xiàn)演講者的自信并增加互動(dòng)。此外,演講中一般都要談假如競選成功的打算,而這也是在場即將投票的聽眾們最關(guān)心的實(shí)質(zhì)性問題。所以,一定要有較切實(shí)的行動(dòng)打算。當(dāng)然,演講者前面所做的一切努力都是為了爭取作為聽眾的同學(xué)們手中的選票,所以別忘了寫期待對方能投自己一票。作后,演講者應(yīng)表態(tài),表示自己將屢行承諾,不負(fù)眾望。演講詞一般以道謝告終。
以上談的是演講詞,尤其是競選演講詞寫作的七大原則。值得注意的是,競選演講詞的寫法又有別于其他文體的寫作,下面談?wù)勊膫€(gè)注意事項(xiàng)。
其一,演講詞較偏重口語體,但又與完全通俗的口語體不盡相同。更確切地說,演講詞應(yīng)亦狀亦諧,雅俗共賞。因?yàn)樘ㄋ?,演講詞就缺少文采,缺乏感召力,不足以表現(xiàn)演講者的才華;太文謅謅,演講就非常呆板,沒生氣,很教條,缺乏親和力。因此,選詞時(shí)要注意詞語的正式程度。一些口語化過重的詞,如well, yeah, gonna, wanna, gotta, alas, O.K ,all right, Good, 都不大適宜使用。
其二,注意演講詞句法結(jié)構(gòu)不宜太復(fù)雜。演講的關(guān)鍵是要讓聽眾聽清并明白演講的內(nèi)容。如果句子結(jié)構(gòu)太長太復(fù)雜,就會(huì)增加聽眾聽力理解的困難,就會(huì)影響演講者信息的傳達(dá)與聽眾信息的接收。如果演講者表達(dá)的信息都不能很好地被接收,那么演講者要想打動(dòng)和影響聽眾就會(huì)難上加難。所以,在演講詞寫作中,句式不宜過長,不宜太復(fù)雜。
其三,演講要有親和力,不要讓人有演講者在背書之感。要做到這一點(diǎn),除了演講者本人要訓(xùn)練有素,要有高超的演講技巧外,演講詞寫作中還應(yīng)注意人稱和語態(tài)的使用。一般而言,演講詞應(yīng)較多運(yùn)用第一和第二人稱,少用或不用第三人稱,以增加演講的對話性和親和力。同時(shí),演講詞應(yīng)多用主動(dòng)語態(tài),少用或不用被動(dòng)語態(tài)及It is +adj./done +that 從句的無人稱句,因?yàn)楸粍?dòng)句和無人稱句過分強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀性,往往讓人感覺太正式,太沒人情味。
其四,演講詞尤其是競選演說詞應(yīng)具有極大的感召力和鼓動(dòng)性。因此,競選演說詞寫作時(shí)應(yīng)注意語氣禮貌客套,但不卑不亢,自信練達(dá),但不狂妄孤傲。所以在演講中宜多用褒義詞,少用中性詞和貶義詞。此外,要注意在文中應(yīng)不止一次提及對方(如上面例文中My dear friend),這樣便可加強(qiáng)演講色彩,也有助于演講者提請聽眾提高注意力。演講中為達(dá)到感召力和鼓動(dòng)性,還往往運(yùn)用一些特定句式,如祈使句、感嘆句、反意疑問句、設(shè)問句、排比句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句等。
1.Dear Mr/Ms,On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of your National Day, please accept our heartiest congratulations.May the trade connections between our countries continue to develop with each passing day!Yours faithfully 尊敬的先生/小姐,值此國慶三十五周年之際,請接受我們最真誠的祝賀。愿我們
兩國之間的貿(mào)易聯(lián)系持續(xù)發(fā)展。

尊敬的先生/小姐,感謝你來信對我的任命表達(dá)的祝賀。
我也感謝您對我的工作給予的支持,并期望未來能有更好的合作。
誠摯的
在西方,得知朋友訂婚、結(jié)婚、生孩子、升職都要寫信祝賀。祝賀信如同一般的簡短書信,可長可短,格式上無特別的要求,但書寫時(shí)應(yīng)做到:真誠、自然、親切動(dòng)人。內(nèi)容上可盡情發(fā)揮。
1、賀生日 Congratulations on a birthday Dear Babs:
So you're a year older today —— or don't you want to be reminded? Anyway, congratulations and best wishes.If you feel like holding a celebration, will you let me take you to dinner and the movies, as a sort of birthday treat? You name the day.And in the mealtime, many happy returns!
Cordially, Tom 親愛的巴博斯:
今天您又大了[一歲]了,您不喜歡別人這樣對你講嗎?但不管怎樣,我得向您祝賀,表示美好的祝愿。
如果您對慶賀有雅興的話,我想請您吃飯,或看電影,作為祝賀您生日的款待。請定個(gè)日期,同時(shí),祝您幸福愉快!
2.、祝賀朋友大學(xué)畢業(yè) Congratulations on graduation Dear Mr.Li:
I learned from Wang Ying that you were graduated with high honors from Huabei University yesterday.I can well imagine how proud of you your parents are now, who have been anxiously hoping to witness your brilliant success.As I understand, you will continue studies in the United States soon.I wish you greater success in your studies and research work.With best wishes.Yours sincerely, Tom 親愛的李先生:
從王英處得悉你以優(yōu)異的成績畢業(yè)于華北清華大學(xué),我可以想像,你的父母現(xiàn)在是怎樣地引以為榮。他們一直殷切地希望你獲得輝煌的成就。我聽說你不久要到美國去繼續(xù)深造。預(yù)祝你在學(xué)習(xí)和研究工作上取得更大的成就。
3.、祝賀朋友在運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上獲勝 Congratulations on winning a game
Dear Jerry:
Mother sent me the clippings about your success at the swimming meet.Naturally, I am not surprised at all, but I thought I'd just say “Congratulations” where are going to find room for another silver cup? Some of our girls may be going up to the Tri-State meet.If the tape unrolls straight, and there I shall expect to see you win again.When we're all home for Thanksgiving vacation, we'll have to hold a real celebration.Your one-time swimming rival.親愛的瑪麗:
媽媽把你在游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上獲勝的剪報(bào)寄給了我。當(dāng)然,我一點(diǎn)也不感到吃驚;但是,我覺得還是應(yīng)當(dāng)向你祝賀。你哪里去找到爭取另一個(gè)銀杯的機(jī)會(huì)呀?
如果能獲得順利批準(zhǔn),我們當(dāng)中的一些姑娘可能要去參加三州運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)。在那里,我希望能看到你再次獲勝。
你從前的游泳對手
