本期作文题目:
  You are the office manager at an insurance company. You have arranged for contractors to upgrade your computer system. This means the system will be shut down for a full day.
   Write a memo of 40-50 words:
  informing staff of the shutdown
   telling them when it will happen
  asking them to prepare alternative work for the day.
  
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。
  
网友作文一:

  I think you can give a good performance to me to pass the accident. [3]
  TOM

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:

  From: office manager
  To: all staff
  Subject: the company system
  I would like to notify you that [1]the computer system of our company's will be shut down on this Tuesday for a whole day long [2]on account of the system needs a upgrade.[3]Therefore, please taking notice of this event in advance, in case of some potential inconveniences and troubles on Tuesday, yet prepare alternative work for that day. [4]
  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
  
网友作文三:

  Dear all:
  The file system will shtudown [1]due to system maintainance next Friday.
  It will take a full day to finish this job.[2]
  Please do not acccess the [3]file server that day and backup your files one it[4].

名师修改意见: 
 
[1]够干练了,语法错误多。 Be shut down
[2]去掉
[3]Access to
[4]On it?
  
网友作文四:

  From: office Manager
  To: all staff
  Subject: upgarde of computer system
  As our computer system need to be upgraded, we have arranged the contarctors to upgrade the them [1]on Wedesday. On that day all computers should be shutted down for a full day, so you need arrange some alternative work for that day.

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.
