便条是一种简单的书信。常见的便条有收条、欠条、留言条和请假条。要写好便条，必须掌握以下几点：１．各类便条必须包括以下几个基本要素：①Date：便条日期②Salutation：称呼③Body：正文④Signature：署名；２．日期部分可写在便条的右上角。便条往往只写上一个日期，而且常常不写年份，只写月日（如：April2）；有时不写日期，只写星期几（如：Friday）；有时只写上午、下午或晚上（如：morning）；有时只写钟点（如：9:12）３．便条开篇须有称呼语，但称呼比较随便，往往省略Dear，而只写Ding,Wu等彼此熟悉的称呼；４．便条结尾须署上留言者的姓名，位置在正文的右下角；５．各类便条的特点如下：①Aninformalletter②Simplelanguage③Briefwriting④NoenvelopeThank-youNote写作要领1．注意格式，弄清题意，抓住要点；2．感谢条的特点：时间及时，简明扼要，着重事由，感谢真诚；3．感谢条常用的词语与句型：Thankyouforyourhelpin….Thankyouforcomingtomyaid.Iwill….Wewouldliketothankyouforyourserviceas….Wesincerelyappreciateyour….Thankstoyourefforts….Wearefortunatetohaveyouwithus.Iammostgratefultoyouforyourhelp.Iwanttothankyouheartilyforwhatyouhavedone.CongratulationCard祝贺卡常用的词语和句型：②GreetingsataFestival(节日的问候)HappyBirthday!ManyHappyReturnsofyourWeddingAnniversary!Withbestwishes.Bestwishesfor…Mycongratulationsonyoursuccessandmybestwishesforyourbrightprospects．I’msurethattheprizeyouhavewonisjustthefirstofmanythatyouwillattainintheyearstocome．Mayeverydaybesunnyandfruitfulforyouinthenewyear．Richblessingsforhealthandabundanthappinessinmywishforyouinthecomingyear!MerryChristmasandawonderfulworldofenjoyment．ThisistowishyouandallyoursaMerryChristmasandaHappyNewYear．③YouDeserveIt(值得这样)Thisisamarvelousachievement,thoughnomorethanyoudeserve．Iamveryhappytoseeyourworkfor…/yourabilitiesrecognizedinthisway．Iknowthatyourenthusiasmandexperiencearetheveryqualitiesthatareneededforthisposition.Iamdelightedthatyourtalentandhardworkhavebeenrewarded.④BestWishesfortheFuture(对未来的美好祝愿)Iwishyoueverysuccess．Alltheverybestforthefuture．Irejoiceinyourgoodfuture．Mayyourfuturebeassuccessfulasyouhavealwaysbeen．ApologyCard①常见的道歉信开头语：Imustapologizetoyoufor….我必须向你道歉，因为……。Iregrettotellyouthat….我很抱歉地告诉你……。Iwritetoyoutoexpressmydeepregret.我写此信向你表示深深的歉意。I’mwritingtoyoutoaskyoutoexcusemefor….我写此信请求你原谅我。I’mvery/terriblysorrytotellyouthat….很/非常道歉地告诉你。②结束语：Pleaseacceptmysincereapology.请接受我诚挚的歉意。I’mverysorrytotakeupsomuchofyourtime.很抱歉
