老师提示:
商务写作中遵循的原则是:简洁,精确,礼貌。在考试中或者工作中,格式基本已经给出,所以只需要我们写正文即可。正文中我们写作要做到选词精当,一针见血,语法正确,不出低级错误的句子。备忘录属于半正式的文体写作,所以在句子选择上可以适当放宽,不必太正式。

名师修改意见:
[1]Business writing 中尽量少使用because....so... 这样的结构,看起来不够专业,改为:As we plan to upgrade.....
[2]有中式英文的痕迹:我要求你们。。。。改为:please prepare alternative work if you have to use the computer.
[3]这不能算作accident, 既然已经计划好了。整句去掉。换成thank you.
网友作文二:

Thank you.[5]
名师修改意见:
[1]去掉这个开头,直接用被动语态开头。
[2]去掉,多余了。
[3]如果你不能保证用长复句可以表达清楚,那么建议换成短句吧。拆成几个短句也许表达更贴切呢。
[4]这句话看起来非常不清楚,主语在哪里?please 的后面是吗?改成:please make sure that you have prepared alternative work.
[5]另换一行

名师修改意见:
[1]第一: 不要重复使用前面已经用过的词;第二:指代错误,前面说的system 是单数,怎么到这里变成了them? 合成一句:as we have arranged the contractor to upgrade our computer system.
