作文指导二 —— 通知
一、通知的形式
从形式上可分为书面通知和口头通知。书面通知强调语句简练,用词贴切,用语书面化;而口头通知比较灵活简练,用词表达可随便些,较为口语化。
二、通知的结构
通知一般由标题、正文和结尾三部分组成。
1.标题
书面通知多以Notice或NOTICE为标题;口头通知可省略。
2.称呼:
口头通知的开头往往有称呼语(被通知的对象)如:Boys and girls”,“Ladies and gentlemen”,“Comrades and friends”等,或用提醒听众注意的语句,如“Attention, please!”“Your attention, please!“May I have your attention,please?” “I've got something important to say.” “I'm very glad to tell you that...”“Please be quiet,everyone! I have something to say.”“I have some good news for you!”等。书面通知则不需要用称呼语。
3.正文
正文包括事情、通知对象、要求、时间(有时还包括地点)等;
正文要写明所做事情的具体时间、地点、概括性内容多为书面通知的首句、出席对象及有关注意事项。布置工作的通知要把工作内容和要求写清楚。
常用结构:sth. will/ is going to be held+地点+时间
There will/ is going to be sth.+地点+时间
例如:
There is an English lecture in the school meeting room, at3:00 on Monday afternoon. The sports meeting will be held...
It has been decided that we'll pay a visit to…”
结束语前常用“Please be there on time” “Do be present on time.” “everyone is welcome/ expected to attend it.”并以“That's all. Thank you”作为客套结束语。
4.结尾
书面通知的落款应写明发通知的具体日期发出通知的单位。通知单位名称可以写在NOTICE上面,也可以写在通知正文的右下角。发通知的日期一般写在通知正文的左下角。口头通知不用落款。
三、通知的书写
1.发出通知的单位和对象在一般情况下用第三人称,如要求同学们按时到会,不说“We must to…”或“You should…”,而应写成:All the students are requested to be there on time.
2.在语言上,口头通知的句型应该做到口语化,多用简单句和祈使句,语言上尽可能用精炼的文字表达明确的信息。通知中提及的事情都是计划要做的,时态多用将来时,语态多用被动式,如“The class meeting will be held…”
四:参考范文
