Note writing 便条写作
项目简介
1. 学生在10分钟之内完成大约50-60词的便条写作，要求做到格式正确，内容完整，语言得体。
2. 与作文写作有所不同：便条项目侧重于语言的实用性和功能性，检查学生日常运用语言的实际能力。

2） 内容 <一封理想的TEM4便条应包括以下三点：(1)写便条的原因；(2)要告诉的事情；(3)有关的希望、建议或要求等。>
3） 语言
4） 字数
l 格式
结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌，措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定。现分述① 致不熟悉的人，宜用较庄重的套语，如Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，或Sincerely等。② 对上级、长者，除了可用上述较庄重的套语，也可用Yours respectfully或Respectfully yours。③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用①中提到的较庄重的套语，也可用Yours等较为随便的套语。④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜。例如，Yours，Love，With love，Best wishes，Best regards等等。⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种：Love，With love，All my love，Yours affectionately，Affectionately yours，Lovingly yours，Yours lovingly，Your loving son(Dad?)；但对亲人，不宜用Sincerely yours。
由于TEM4便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情，写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人，因此，TEM4通常只接受Yours sincerely，Sincerely yours，Sincerely，或Yours这几种结尾套语。
