　　英文書信有正式與非正式之分，英文便條為非正式書信。

　　TEM4(英語專業四級考試)把寫便條 (note～writing)列入必考項目之一，其目的是按照((高等院校英語專業英語教學大綱>)的要求，測試英語專業學生在基礎階段末用英語書面表達思想的能力。便條成績在TEM4筆試成績中雖只占10%，卻如同一面鏡子，能反映出學生英語書面交際的能力。有關英文便條寫作，國內外學者多有論述 (可參見寧有權、劉永軍，1999;王崇義，1995;楊俊峰，1997;Aired，Brusaw&Oliu，2000; Bates，1990)。學者們認為，便條是一種簡短信函，多使用非正式語體，它的形式比一般書信簡單。例如，寫便條的人與收便條的人的地址、稱呼中 “Dear'’一詞、日期中的年份以及結尾套語(complimentary close，亦稱結束語)，都可以省去;便條正文篇幅可小至一、兩句話?？墒牵瑍TEM4便條寫作而言，并不完全像以上說的那樣，它有一定的限制。 英語專業四級考試大綱EM4寫便條的要求是，“根據提示寫大約50-60~]的通知、便條、請貼等。要求格式正確，語言得體。” 英語專業四級考試大綱 的要求其實也給TEM4便條制定了評分標準。1TEIM4便條的評分往往從格式、內容、語言、字數這四方面來考慮。因此，要想寫好TEM4便條，就必須掌握TEM4便條的基本要求，注意TEM4便條寫作中常見的問題，以便對癥下藥，充分發揮自己的英文寫作水平。一TEM4便條的基本要求

　　(一) 格式(format)正確TEM4便條的格式與普通英文書信格式基本相同。

　　具體來說，它應有日期(date)、稱呼 (saluwfion)、正文(body)及結尾(ending)，結尾包括結尾套語(complimentary close)和簽名(signature)。1.日期指寫便條的日期。英文便條與漢語便條的日期寫的地方有別，前者的日期一般寫在便條的右上角，偶爾也見寫在便條的左上角，而后者的日期則寫在便條的右下角，即寫在簽名的下面。英文日期與漢語日期的寫法也有不同，漢語一般先寫年，然后再寫月、日，而英文則一般把年份寫在月、日的后面。另外，英文日期的月、日與年之間通常用逗號隔開。例如，2008年4月21日通常寫成April 21，2008或April 21 st，2008;當然，由于是非正式書信，也可以去掉年份，寫成Ap l 2l或April 21st(不過，這種寫法，只是最近兩年才被TEM4接受)，或者寫成21/4/2008或4/21/2008。日期能說明便條的有效度，沒有日期，則會使人感到茫然。2.稱呼稱呼是指寫便條人對收便條人的稱謂，一般都以Dear開頭，寫在日期下一兩行、留出左頁邊空白，頂格寫。TEM4試卷中一般對寫便條人與收便條人之間的關系作了提示。提示中的“you”指的是寫便條人，提到的另一方便是收便條人。稱呼時，一般只需在其名字前加Dear即可，如 Dear Susan，Dear Tom。若此人有頭銜(social title)，稱呼時，便要保留其頭銜，例如Dr.Herce，要稱Dear Dr.Pierce，不稱Dear Pierce。如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs Wang或Mr Wang出現，稱呼時也只需在其前加Dear便可，即稱DearMrs Wang或Dear MrWang，若只稱Dear Wang則視為不妥。當對方為親屬時，在Dear 后面加上表示親屬關系大寫的字眼即可，如Dear Grandpa，Dear Aunt。值得一提的是，近年來TEM4也接受不帶Dear的稱呼。稱呼后面可用逗號，也可用冒號。3.正文www.freetem4tem8.cn正文是寫便條人要敘述或談論的事情，是便條的主要組成部分。一般書信是在稱呼下方隔兩行處開始寫正文。但就TEM4便條而言，一般在稱呼的下一行開始寫正文便可。正文的首行左邊一般留約5個字母寬的空白，但也可頂格寫。便條的內容簡單、字數少，因此，正文一般只需寫一段或兩段。若有兩段，第二段的首行應與第一段的首行對齊寫。4.結尾如前所述，結尾包括結尾套語和簽名。
