2017BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)高級(jí)寫(xiě)作應(yīng)試技巧
BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)考試山半年的考試已經(jīng)結(jié)束了,但是對(duì)于報(bào)考下半年商務(wù)英語(yǔ)考試的考生來(lái)說(shuō),這才是復(fù)習(xí)的開(kāi)始。yjbys下面給大家分享2017BEC商務(wù)英語(yǔ)高級(jí)寫(xiě)作應(yīng)試技巧如下:
寫(xiě)作部分
BEC HIGHER寫(xiě)作部分主要涉及商業(yè)信函和圖表寫(xiě)作兩部分的內(nèi)容,現(xiàn)具體介紹如下:
商業(yè)信函
第一章 格式問(wèn)題
1. 格式問(wèn)題:
請(qǐng)同學(xué)們?cè)贐EC的寫(xiě)作中采用平頭式的寫(xiě)法。
收信人的姓名和地址置于信紙的左上方
地址、稱(chēng)呼和結(jié)束禮詞后沒(méi)有標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)
日期在右上方
段落從定格開(kāi)始,段落之間的行距為兩行(但在考試中由于受答題卡限制,請(qǐng)同學(xué)們酌情考慮)
寫(xiě)信人的名字和頭銜在簽名下方
2. 稱(chēng)呼和結(jié)束禮詞的注意事項(xiàng):
稱(chēng)呼的寫(xiě)法遵循下列原則:
Dear Sir or Madam 寫(xiě)信給某一公司,不確定具體的收信人
Dear Sir 對(duì)男士,但是你不知道他的具體姓名
Dear Madam 對(duì)女士,但是你不知道他的具體姓名
Dear Mr Smith 對(duì)男士
Dear Ms Smith 對(duì)已婚或未婚的女士
Dear Mrs Smith 對(duì)已婚女士
Dear Miss Smith 對(duì)未婚女士
Dear John (此處John 為英語(yǔ)中常用男名) 對(duì)朋友或你比較熟悉的人(通常為多年生意伙伴)
稱(chēng)呼與結(jié)束禮詞存在對(duì)應(yīng)的關(guān)系,請(qǐng)同學(xué)們特別注意:
Dear Sir or Madam Yours faithfully
Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss Smith Yours sincerely
Dear John Bestwishes
以下均為錯(cuò)誤用法:
Dear Mr John
Dear Mr John Smith
3. 日期:
在英國(guó)英語(yǔ)中,天在前,但是在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中,月份在前。所以某些特別的時(shí)期容易引起誤解。例如:12 06 2003
在英國(guó)指的是:6月21日
在美國(guó)指的是:12月6日
因此日期要寫(xiě)成:12 June 2003
注釋?zhuān)涸赽ec考試中同學(xué)們可以采用恩波所推薦的用法。但是12 06 2003 的用法仍然是可以使用的,因?yàn)閎ec為英版考試。
在使用恩波推薦的用法時(shí),要記住月份使用大些字母開(kāi)頭。天后不必寫(xiě)th、rd、nd或者st。
第二章 寫(xiě)法問(wèn)題
