全国中学生英语能力竞赛写作解题指导（七）

应用文

应用文在日常生活中使用的频率较高,也非常实用。下面介绍几种常见应用文的写法:

1.怎样写通知?

通知是告诉人们参加活动的应用文文体。语言要简明扼要要能讲清楚何人、何时、何地参加什么活动和注意事项就可以了。通知分为口头通知和书面通知两种。

口头通知常用的开头称呼语有Ladies and Gentlemen或Boys and Girls等,正文部分常用May I have your attention,please?开头。用Thank you.作为结束语。

[例题4] 3月12日是“植树节”(Tree Planting Day),你校将组织全体学生参加植树活动。请你根据下面提供的要点,以学生会名义拟一篇口头通知,以便在校广播站的“English For Today”节目中播出。要点如下:

1.植树日期和地点:3月12日,西山。

2.集合时间和地点:学校操场,早上7点。

3.要求:全体参加,每班带5-6个脸盆浇水用,其余的都带铁锨(spade);乘校车前往。

参考范文:

Comrades,

Attention,please!

March 12 is our Tree Planting Day.

We have decided to go and plant trees that day.All the students in our school are supposed (required)to take part in the activity.Each class must take five or six basins to water the young trees.Others are to take spades to dig holes.We are going to gather on the school playground at seven on the morning of March 12.And then,we will take our school bus to the West Hill.Please don't be late or absent.Thank you.

书面通知常用A Notice或An Announcement为题目。正文部分开门见山,直接点出主题。最后要有落款,写明出通知的人或单位,时间写在正文的右上角。
