例1、Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student services department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.
MEMO
To: The leader of student service department
From: Li Ming
Date: August 16, 2005
Subject: Telephone
I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory. As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.
We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us. Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication. I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.
Li Ming
编辑注：“remind”一词用法比较多，可以在后面直接接人或宾格，如“提醒我”译为“please remind me”。如果提醒某人某事则用“remind somebody of something”，也可以在后面加从句，即“remind sb that”，“remind”还有一个意思为“使想起”同样用“remind…of…”的结构，应注意与提醒某事区分。
例2、Directions: You are supposed to write a Memorandom of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experiment. It should include: 1) Why you need the microscope. 2) When you need it.

From: Li Ming of the biological laboratory Date: August 12, 2005 Subject: Microscope

microscope in order to improve our experimental work.
Our experiment will start on Friday, so please issue a microscope to us as soon as possible so that we can prepare better for the experiment.
Li Ming
编辑注：在写备忘录的时侯，一定要注意它的格式，尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的，用“From: ／To:”两个单词即可。文中的“badly”是“非常的，迫切的”意思。短语“in order to”同下句的“so that”意思是一样的即：为了，目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句 ，类似的短语还有“in order that”，用法与“so that”相同。
例3、Directions: If you are the teacher of the students' Counselor office: P. steelpes, and you have received a letter for requesting for Paid Education Leave from a student.

Subject: Request for Paid Education Leave
In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in English literature, I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave.
While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge, we feel that English literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization.
I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.
If you need another information on the above, do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.
P. steelpes
编辑注：首先要注意本篇备忘录的格式很标准。然后注意这个备忘录的个别
词的用法，譬如：be aware of 注意到、当心的意思，point out 指出,request for 要求，in response to 反馈。
例4、Directions: You are a supervisor of a big company. The chief of operations wants to adopt the“punch-in”system to increase productivity. Write a memo to talk about this:
1) Does the “punch-in”system benefit the company?
2) If the company doesn’t adopt it, what else can we do to increase productivity.
You should write about 100 words.
To: David Green, Chief of Operations
From: Tony Party , Supervisor Date: March. 22, 2005
Subject: Comments on the “Punch-in” System
This is further to your memo dated March. 20, 2004, in which you proposed that employees adopt the “punch-in” system.
I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity. As far as your proposal that if the “punch-in” system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned. However, I don’t think so. I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster. I feel that if we ( the supervisors) could meet with you , we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.
Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.
Tony Party
*编辑注：此篇是对一篇备忘录的回复。生产主管认为实行打孔考勤制度（“punch-in”system），有利于增加生产效率。但督察却不这样认为。他认为“should give the employees more incentives to work faster”。

随着中国人学习英语风潮的持续升温，拥有日常英语交流能力已经变得不足为奇，未来在就业市场上走俏的将是职业英语，即能够用英语交流工作中的问题，比如和外国同事讨论公司的市场营销策略或者代表公司和外国公司接洽等。但是目前绝大多数学生和职场新人对于商业英语非常陌生。笔者认为，备考剑桥商务英语证书(Business English Certificate，简称BEC)是有志跻身于商业职场的人士熟悉商业场景、学习商业英语的最佳方法。
BEC考试的显著特点就是把商业实际和英语运用结合起来，分成初、中、高三级(BEC Preliminary, BEC Vantage, BEC Higher)，其中BEC中级最符合广大考
生的求职需求。BEC中级考试分成听、说、读、写四项考查，各占总成绩1/4，其中写作部分与听、说、读相比，因其考查形式固定，内容要求有限，因而最易得高分。写作部分包含两个部分：Part One, 备忘录或电子邮件(Memo or Email)，占写作成绩的1/3；Part Two, 商务信件、报告或提议(Letter, Report or Proposal)，占写作成绩的2/3。两部分相比，Part One要求简单，较之Part Two更容易提高，本文以《剑桥BEC真题集(中级) 第二辑》的Test Two, Part One为例，详细分析Part One的写作流程，并在最后给出BEC写作的复习资料。
