考研英语写作小作文之通知

考研英语写作小作文之通知 2014 11 12 16:02:02

在考研英语的Part A 小作文部分，书信是其考查的重点所在。书信种类繁多，而且每种书信又各有其自己的要点内容，因此内容繁杂、量大、易混淆，也就成了同学们备考的难点所在。在前面我们就曾以题目为例，详细地解析过考研英语小作文中常考的15中书信：即建议信、投诉信、咨询信、感谢信、祝贺信、道歉信、慰问信、申请信、求职信、推荐信、介绍信、辞职信、邀请信、拒绝信和证明信的写作方法及其注意事项。对此，大家务必要仔细总结和研究，理清各种书信的写作思路。

考研英语的历年真题中，在应用文部分除了考查最多的各种书信之外，英语一还曾于2010年考察过一类告示文章，即通知。因此，今天本文就对这种考查频率较低但又有可能会考的应用文进行深入的分析。

通知，英文中称为notice，是向特定对象告知或转达有关事项、让其知道或执行的应用文。正式的通知使用文体较正式，要求结构严谨、用词确切。

一般来说，在考研英语中，通知主体部分的写作可按照三个步骤进行，即“三步走”策略。接下来就以题目为例，具体解析一下这个策略。

例题：

Directions：

You are supposed to write for the Postgraduates’ Association a notice to recruit volunteers for an international conference on globalization. The notice should include the basic qualifications for applicants and the other information you think is relative.

You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Postgraduates’ Association” instead.

Do not write the address.

题目所给的规定情景是要求你为研究生会写一封通知，内容是为一场有关全球化的国际会议招聘志愿者。通知应包含应聘者的基本条件要求以及其他相关必要信息。

根据上面所提的通知写作“三步走”策略，具体操作如下：

首段：So and so has the honor to announce that the Postgraduates’ Association is badly in need of volunteers for the international conference about globalization to be held from July 1st to 10th at Tsinghua University.

一般来说，书信中第一段的主要内容就是表明自己的写信目的。同样通知也不能例外，所以第一段依然还是表明自己写本封通知的目的。在所用句型表达上，则可开门见山、直入主题，也可用So and so has the honor to announce that…..来表达。除此之外，在所要标明的目的中，若涉及一些活动或其它并不广为人知的专有名词，则需进行简单介绍，主要包含时间地点等等。

中段：In the first instance, the applicants are requested to speak English fluently and are expected to be active and open minded. In addition, the applicants with the experience of being a part time volunteer in several international events are preferred.

第二段中，就是要写明通知的主要内容了。本题要求写的通知是招聘通知，那么主要内容自然就是对应聘者的条件要求了，对此题目中也给出了相应规定。此部分中，若条件不只一个，则需分条陈述，做到清晰简洁。至于具体的条件要求，则需考生自己自由发挥，但是需要记住的是要逻辑合理、严谨。

尾段：If you are interested, please do not hesitate to send your resume to the following email address: postgraduates@tsinghua.edu.cn before June 29th. Your applications are warmly welcome.

本段中，紧接前面内容，列玩具体的条件要求后，就要进行结尾了。作为一封招聘通知，结尾中自然是要向通知对象说明投递简历材料的途径并表示欢迎了。

在考研英语的应用文写作中，类似的首段或尾段的套用句式比较丰富，大家需要在复习过程中进行有意的积累，并在写作中加以运用：

1. The conference of ……will be held on…in…

2. ……has set a preparation committee to organize this conference.

3. So and so has the honor to announce that……

4. If you are interested in this job and are willing to have a whole new experience, please do not hesitate to send your resume to……

因此完整范文如下：
