第二講便條與留言留言（message）與便條用途相似，考試要求也相同，所以在此一起講解。便條（+留言）（一） 功能及構(gòu)成BEC中級考試考查便條（note）的使用，是為了了解考生能否與同事就一些公司的內(nèi)部事宜進行簡短有效的交流，因此，便條的寫作要言簡意賅，包括所有的題目要點，但要注意，在考試過程中最好避免縮寫和過于不正式的用法，以免因此丟分。商務(wù)便條一般由4部分組成：日期、稱呼、正文和簽名1. 日期（Date）：正文的右上角（在稱呼的上面一行），有時也可以寫在正文的左下角（在簽名的下一行）。2. 稱呼（Salutation）：左邊頂格寫起。注意目標對象身份不同時，正式程度也不同。3. 正文（Body）：直截了當，沒必要用客套語言，但中心務(wù)必突出，更要注意一定要寫清楚活動的時間和地點。4. 簽名（Signature）：一般在正文的下方偏右處。一些公司有印好的便簽簿，如：MessageTo： Date：MessageTelephone MessageFor：From：Tel.:Message:Action required: Please call back Caller will call back later No action requiredMessage taken by: Date: Time: e.g. (Band 5)April 7thMr. Nate Bass,I will visit King Cell Co. to buy the computer software for our department next Tuesday on April 15th.
