通知和告示  

Notice and Announcement

 

  通知和告示主要用于说明或者传达某件事情、某项活动等，重在言简意赅。文字要求简洁易懂，表达直截了当。

  通知和告示一般分为两类，一类是有关部门就某事发出的通知或张贴的告示，此类文件要求结构严谨，用词确切，通常使用比较正式的文体。另一类是关于会议或活动的简单通知，此类文章至少需要包含以下内容：时间、地点、活动内容、参加人员范围以及其他必要细节。

  写书面通知和告示时需注意以下几点：

 1. 一般告示类文体都需要写标题，在上方居中位置写  NOTICE或Notice或Announcement。

 2. 需要写上贴出告示的单位或者个人。发出通知的人或单位 的名称，一般写在标题的上方、正文后面的右下角或左下 角。

 3. 发出通知的时间要写在正文的左下角或正文的右上角。

 4. 正文要写明所做事情的具体时间、地点、概括性内容（多 为书面通知的首句）、通知对象及有关注意事项。

5. 被通知的单位或人员一般用第三人称，但如果带有称呼语，则用第二人称表示被通知的对象。

1. Notice is hereby given that …

2. This is to notify that …

3. We inform you that …

4. I have the pleasure of announcing that …
