2016考研英语已经落下帷幕,今年英语(一)小作文的题目要求是:假如你是图书管理员,给新入学的外国留学生写一份通知,介绍有关图书馆的事宜,字数100字。值得注意的是,这是考研英语(一)历史上第二次在小作文这个题型当中考察通知,上一次英语(一)考通知是在2010年。
其实,通知和书信的本质是一样的,首先,需要大家注意的是通知的格式。我们早在文都教育写作课堂上讲过,通知的格式包括三部分:标题、征文、签名。标题需要在第一行居中位置写Notice,注意首字母N大写;正文每行缩进四个字母,分两段或三段;签名按题目要求,让我们签谁就签谁,以2016考研英语(一)这个通知为例,结尾签名应为:Li Ming。其次,大家需要列出正文部分的提纲,无论是通知还是书信,面对应用文,我们应该从实际生活出发,思考在真实条件下我们应该写哪些内容,把想到的都列举出来,之后再用英文组织成合法的语句和篇章。
因此,按照应用文开门见山的写作特点和通知信息倒三角分布的特征,我们可以列提纲如下:1. 首段首句表明写作意图;2. 向外国学生介绍图书馆情况,例如:每天开闭关时间;在哪里办理图书卡;借书的须知;图书管的基本设施等等。此外,既然通知的对象是新入学的外国留学生,也可代表校方或图书管向其表达问候;3. 结尾应该体贴的留下联系方式,方便对方进一步咨询。按以上思路,文都教育苗苗老师提供参考范文如下:
