　　便条 　 写作指导 便条是一种简单形式的书信。常用的便条有请假条和留言条两种，其特点是格式简单，内容简短，便条上一般只需要一两句话。因此，便条要求做到：内容简明扼要，文字简洁明了，讲清谁写的，写给谁，什么事以及什么时候写的等。 留言条的日期可以写上年、月日，也可以写上星期几或星期几上、下午，或者只写几日，几点钟也行。日期多写在正文右上角，便条多用于熟人之间，因此，便条上的写条人地址、结束语等都可以省略。 精选范文 ① dear mr li, i'm very sorry to tell you that i can't attend school today because of a bad cold. i enclose the doctor's certificate(证明) and ask you for three days sick leave. your student, li ming enclose(附)： the doctor's certificate for sick leave ② headmaster li, i have just received a letter from my home saying that my grandma is badly ill and asking me to go home at once. because of this, i would like to have a leave of three days beginning on oct. 8. i hope that you can allow　 me　 to　 go. zhang hua enclose: a letter from my home. 练习 ① 吴先生： 因爷爷病重，我打算回家探望，要求请假一星期，从本月10日到16日止。附上姐姐发来的电报，请批准为盼。 您的学生赵威 1999．12．9 (字数：50左右) 参考词语 重病to be seriously ill 感激to be thankful to 附上enclose ② 海伦： 我想借用你的汉英词典，三天后还。因为我目前正在翻译一篇重要文章，经常要用，我使用时一定小心爱护，决不损坏。 谢谢！ 珍妮 5．15 (字数：50左右) 参考词语 能否i wonder if you can… 汉英词典chinese-english dictionary 查字典to consult a dictionary ③ 彼德： 我今天上午乘火车到达上海，住上海宾馆305号房间，请来一叙。 杰克 上午8∶50 (字数：50左右) 参考词语 过来一叙to come over and have a chat ④你到一个叫李英的同学家，通知他一件事，碰巧他不在家，你给他留了张便条，内容如下： a．明天的课将推迟到本星期六下午2点，因为明天你要参加劳动——植树，上午7点在校门口集合出发。 b．前天你把雨伞落在他家房子的前门外，请他明天上课时替你带来。 ××× 8．10 (字数：80左右) 参考词语 参加劳动take part in the labour 雨伞umbrella ⑤假如你是建国，你的朋友今天下午5∶00到你家。你当时不在，他只好留条说明他来是为了约你明天上午和你一起去看望你们的班主任，他明天上午8∶30来叫你。请在家等候。(字数：50左右) ⑥假如你是lucy，打算同你校外籍教师dianna 同去人民剧院看京剧，你前去送票，碰巧她不在家，请你写一份留言： a．戏剧今晚7∶00开始； b．戏票已经买好，请她别再买票； c．你将在剧院入口处等她； d．去时，在校门口坐3路车直达剧院。 (字数：80左右) 参考词语 京剧beijing opera 在入口处at the entrance 乘三路车to take the bss no.3 ⑦假定你的名字叫王磊，你原来和林平约好今晚去参加舞会，但你父亲生病住院，你得去医院照顾，于是你去林平住处，想要告诉他这件事。另外，你准备约他下周六下午去乡下钓鱼，林平碰巧不在家。 请你给林平留个便条，并请他在下周四以前给回音。(字数：80左右) 参考词语 参加舞会to go to the dance 照顾to look after 钓鱼to go fishing 通知…to let…know 准备好一切 to get everything ready 下面是一些例文 ①发出邀请 　　a april 20, 2008 　　dear fiona, 　　i am going to hold a dinner party with several other friends of ours. the party will be held in room 6 of lijing hotel at 5:00 p.m. today, i sincerely hope you can attend and we will have a very happy time together. please let me know whether you can make it. 　　yours, 　　amelia 　　发出邀请b 　　april 20, 2008 　　dear fiona, 　　here is a piece of good news for you. the * will give a performance in the * tomorrow evening. i am sure that you will be happy to watch it .the performance will begin at seven o’clock sharp. i will wait for you at the theater entrance. please let me know whether you can make it at your earliest convenience. 　　yours, 　　amelia 　　发出邀请c　 　　april 20, 2008 　　dear professor zhou, 　　i am amelia from class 052; i need you to give me some suggestion on my project. if it doesn’t trouble you too much, shall we have a meet at your office tomorrow? time is up to you. 　　respectful yours, 　　amelia 　　发出邀请d（通知） 　　april 20, 2008 　　dear girls and boys in class 0403, 　　this saturday evening, from 7 p.m. to 9 p. m., at singeing dining hall, there will be a ball held by class 0301. we warmly invite you to take part in it. there you can enjoy yourselves with dance, music and various games. and we’ll have a chance of communication, which will enhance the friendship between us. come and enjoy ourselves together. 　　yours, 　　mike 　　monitor of class 0301 　　②接受邀请 　　april 20, 2008 　　dear amelia, 　　it’s so kind of you to invite me to the dinner party, i would like to come. i will go to the place right after i finish my work at about 5 p.m. this evening.
