　　II. 便函写作应试技巧

　　一、题目要求

　　在考试时，题目中会给你一个特定的情景，同时会告诉给你要完成三项写作任务;题目中会有清楚的字数限制，即40-50字，超出或少于这个字数限制都会影响你的成绩。

　　二、便函写作的要求

　　简洁：不用写许多空洞的客套话。内容要直截了当，开门见山。

　　完整：在用词和造句时要用完整句，不能因为这是一种非正式文体的写作就可以用缩略句，这些做法都是错误的。

　　实用：写出一条便函、便条、电子短信或留言，一定要有实用性。要少用空泛、含混的概念，而用具体、明确的词汇和句子。交代给对方做的事情或通知对方的内容一定要让对方能够易于操作，准确无误地完成。

　　以上三点说起来容易，做起来难。下面我们就来演练一下。

　　请看下面题目：

　　You are Head of Research for an international car manufacturer. You have to make an urgenttrip tomorrow to visit Pierre Blanco, a colleague who works for a subsidiary.

　　Write a memo of 40-50 words to your secretary.
