English 4/5 - Writing

今天我和大家聊聊怎樣寫英文郵件。寫一封簡(jiǎn)短明了的郵件,尤其在辦公室,會(huì)讓你在同事中閃閃發(fā)光,你的老板也會(huì)對(duì)你贊賞有加。寫英語郵件的大忌是“拎不清”,就是寫了半天,看的人都不知道你要說什么, 所以在郵件的開始就要“表白”(呵呵)寫郵件的意圖。下面是我總結(jié)的一個(gè)checklist,小伙伴們可以參考一下。

1. Make that subject line clear

Example: Your requested information/Preliminary schedule for the conference/Agenda for next week's meeting

2. Attach documents that are relevant (and don't forget to attach!)

Example: "Please find attached…"; "you'll find the report attached"

4. Clearly state your purpose at the beginning of your email

Example: "I'm writing to let you know that…."

5.Keep email short and easy to read (do spelling check before sent)

6. Use simple language

In general, it is better to use simpler language to go with the shorter sentences and avoid words like "henceforth", 'acknowledge receipt of", or “in the event of".

7. Don't ?SHOUT

Writing in capital letters IS LIKE SHOUTING in email language. The best way to emphasize any particular piece of information is by making it bold.

8. Use abbreviations sparingly

Rule of thumb: only use those that are very common in Business English, like ASAP or FYI.

9. Close the email with complete contact info

Example: End your email with "Best regards, Sincerely, etc., and add a complete email signature that includes phone, email or other relevant contact info. It will give your emails a more professional touch.

10. Proof read before you hit "Send"!
