3 再看一遍练习2中的邮件，邮件的语言和信息准确吗？找出邮件中的语法错误、拼写错误和标点错误。
观点
4 看下面一些公司邮件写作规范的节选，回答下列问题。
1 How well did the e-mail writer in Exercise 2 follow what is suggested?
2 Why do you think accuracy of language and information is important in business e-mails?
3 Do you follow these guidelines?
1
Reread the e-mail carefully,or get someone else to read it, to check you’ve told the recipient everything he/she needs to know-and you’ve got your facts right. If a meeting’s on 14th and you write 13th, the recipient’s going to turn up on the wrong day. |
2
Check for typing and punctuation errors. As e-mail full of such errors can make a bad impression on the most patient reader--and can even lead to misunderstandings.If it’s important enough to send , make sure the reader understands your message! |
3
Any writer can make mistakes--but it’s important to try and limit these. Before you send your e-mail,use the spell/grammar check. Alternatively, use your dictionary and / or a grammar book to check anything you are not sure of. Phone or send an e-mail to check anything you to do not understand. |
小贴士 拼写检查功能能帮你检查拼写错误，但并不是所有错误都能检查出来。比如，拼写检查功能无法识别its和it’s的区别。 |
Practice 演练
信息
1 a 音频6.2是一个有关培训活动的对话，听录音，在做下面笔记。
Event:___________________________________________________________________ Date:___________________________________________________________________ Time:_________________________________________________________________
|
B 参看录音文本，核对答案。
2 读下列的邮件，根据录音内容改正其中的错误信息。
HiDiane This is just a quick e-mail to let you know about the sales training event. Mike’s just told me it’s now going to be on 16th March, not 13thApirl -- I think it’s a Tuesday. It starts about eleven and will go on until about five. Best wishes Leigh |
小贴士 邮件里的时间、日期等信息务必要准确。 |
拼写/词汇
3 看下列易混淆词，说出每组中的两个词有什么区别。查词典，核对答案。你还经常会把哪些词弄混？
Example:advice/ advise advice = noun ; advise = verb
1 principle / principal 2 interesting / interested
3 personal / personnel 4 valuable / expensive
5 eventually / finally 6 become / receive
7 trainer / trainee 8 however / although
4 用练习3中的词将下面的邮件补充完整。
I hope you’ve all had a good week. I’m sorry to announce that we will shortly be losing Val Smith, who has been a very 1______ member of the 2 _________ department for over two years now. 3___________, Val won’t be moving far;she starts her new job at Renoy Communications in the High Street on 21st June. We wish her all the best in her new role as senior 4 ___________ . 5 _________, I have just 6 __________ this week’s edition of Business Leader. If anyone is 7___________ in borrowing it, just let me know. Thank you all for your hard work this week. Have a great weekend! Surjit |
英式拼写和美式拼写
5 你们公司更倾向于用美式拼写还是英式拼写?下面每组词中，哪个是美式拼写，哪个是英式拼写？查词典，核对答案。
1 canceled / cancelled
2 centre / center
3 color / colour
4 organise /organize
5 license / licence
6 practice /practise
7 traveler /traveller
8 labour / labor
9 theater /theatre
小贴士 ·无论使用美式拼写还是英式拼写，要注意保持一致。如果你的拼写检查功能设置为英式拼写，它会将美式拼写标记为拼写错误。 ·注意，现在很多人已接受在英式拼写中使用-ize形式。但是，有些词即使在美式拼写中仍然是-ise形式，比如advertise。你需要单独记住这些词。 |
标点
6 看下面“重要词汇和表达”部分的例句，回顾一下主要的标点符号用法。上面练习4中的邮件能说明哪些标点符号的用法？给下面的邮件加上正确的标点符号。
there are three parts to the course finance marketing and HR Mark Draper will be the main trainer for the finance and marketing sessions Joy Marlow will be responsible for HR do you have any questions about the course content |
