1、风格：两篇写作，篇是正式，篇是非正式。体裁：1）短篇：memo, note, email2）长篇：fax, proposal , letter（诉信、道歉信、邀请信、询价信、感谢信等）, report （report on.、introduction、findings、conclusions、recommendations前面四个一个也不能少，至于最后的recommendations要看当时的题目要求）要 求the purpose of the correspondencereferences to previous communicationfactual detailsthe feelin

4、llect them. 总体：这是一篇小作文，要求写一个MEMO，字数要求40-50字。本作文难度较大。1. 审题：本文审题会出现很大问题，大约有70%的考生或多或少对题目产生误解，30%的考生出现严重误读，导致分数不及格。请理清楚本文人物关系：你公司生产激光打印机（laser printers），Softcell是另一家生产软件的公司。You are visiting another company, Softcell, to buy some company software for your department. 本句中许多考生对are visiting理解错误，认为是已经访问过或正在

5、访问。事实上高中语法中就学过be doing在某些时候表将来，也就是说你将要去Softcell公司买软件。而Softcell公司表示对你公司生产的打印机有兴趣，所以你要在买软件的同时带小册子和打印机的样品给Softcell公司。你现在要给你们公司的销售经理写信申请小册子和样品。许多考生容易产生误解，认为自己是给Softcell公司的经理写信，把自己的产品吹嘘了一通，或是申请从别人公司拿小册子和打印机样品。需要提醒考生的是BEC中级中考到的MEMO一般是公司内部交流的信件，机会不会出现给公司外部的人写M2. 字数：字数要求是40-50字，一般要求写三句话，每句话讲明白一个信息即可，不需要展开太多

6、的细节。太多或太少都不好。写作中需要充分利用题干中的信息。许多考生句子写的很短，许多小短句连在一起，这样的写作不符合英语的特点。例如：I would like to attend a seminar. It is about presentation skills. It will be held this Friday. 建议合句：I would like to attend a seminar on presentation skill this Friday. 也有些考生喜欢写长句，句子长了之后不好驾驭，容易出现问题，产生扣分。3. 错误：语法错误、词汇使用错误都会产生扣分。例如：I w

7、as asked to take twenty brochures and three sample printers out because of our products are interested by the Softcell Company.本句中出现because of和interest的使用错误。Because of 后面只能加名词或动名词，不能加句子。Interest的用法：sb. is interested in sth./ sth. is interesting to sb./ sth. interest sb. 4. 范文：Model writing To: Mr. J

9、quite interested in our products. If you can approve this, I would like to collect the items before next Monday.Thank youDiana 评析：本篇MEMO正确理解题目、覆盖所有要点、语言表达清晰流畅、无语法和词汇使用错误。可以得到BAND 5 EMO。Part two You work in the Customer Services Department of a mail-order company.

11、，直译为直线经理；1材料是1月至3月的顾客投诉统计图表和对三个月投诉原因的百分比分析。内容方面商务报告强调材料和手写要点缺一不可，比如报告中应当包括图表数据变化的特征，如2月投诉锐增，3月投诉减少，对应的手写要点和是对图表数据变化原因的分析，如2月投诉锐增是因为计算机系统崩溃，而3月投诉减少的原因是引入新的订货系统。又如报告中应提到顾客抱怨的主要原因是投递时间过长，占总投诉的56%，而要点3、4和5是提出减少投诉的方法，如3月误投的减少；降低投递时间，内容可展开为增加投递员工或者更好地划分投递区域等；改进所投递产品的质量，重新选择产品生产公司等，这里需要一定的商务背景知识。其实读者不难发现，B

12、EC写作题目体现了提出问题、分析问题、解决问题的思路，在潜移默化地传递着解决商业实际问题的思考过程。l 形式方面商务报告一般需要标题，本题可采用Report on Customer Complaints (2002 Jan.Mar.)作为标题。主体部分通常采用大写的小标题理清结构：介绍(INTRODUCTION)，概括写报告的目的，比如汇报顾客投诉情况，分析原因，并提出解决办法。发现(FINDINGS)，发现部分应根据内容进行分段，比如按照月份投诉情况和三个月投诉原因分析分成两大部分：首先概括图表特征，包括和两个要点，接下来整体分析1月到3月投诉原因的百分比并提出解决办法，包括、和三个要点。段

13、落内部也可以采用商业报告中常用的项目符号标记要点。结论(CONCLUSIONS)，对投诉情况和解决办法进行概括，比如针对顾客投诉问题，已经采取了有效的对策。l 范文示例Report on Customer Complaints (2002 Jan.Mar.)INTRODUCTIONThis report has the purpose of presenting the reasons for customer complaints in 2002.FINDINGSThe customer complaints received in 2002 were 300 in January.
