2016年剑桥商务英语中级写作练习 - 商务英语

商务写作的基本要求：在写作过程中都必须遵循的六大原则，即礼貌(Courtesy)、准确(Correctness)、简明(Conciseness)、清楚(Clarity)、具体(Concreteness)和完整(Completeness)，也叫做商务写作的6C原则。以下是yjbys网小编整理的关于剑桥商务英语中级写作练习，供大家备考。

练习一：

下面左边各段选自电话中的对话，请写出在功能相同的便笺和电子邮件中书面语言的表达。

“Hello, is that Michael Lee? This is the Managing Director here. Could you drop that report you’re working on over to me this morning? You know the one. About the feasibility of expanding our range of products. Thanks.”

“Harry? Yes, it’s Pete. Look, we’d better do something about attendance at our departmental staff meetings. If we don’t, no one will have any idea of what’s going on. What’s more, since people are paid to attend, maybe we’d better think about docking people’s salaries if they don’t attend.”

“Hello, could I speak to the Production Manager, please?… Hello, Mr Park. This is Kim Wongchui, here. It’s about that inspection you asked me to carry out. I’m afraid we found a lot of quality problems with the new machinery we’ve installed. I’d suggest shutting down production until we know the extent of the problem.”

Hello, Mr Fu? This is Frances Koh here. Yes, Senior Accounts Supervisor. Mr Fu, I’m afraid I made a slight mistake in the figures I sent you recently. Yes. Well, not really my fault. The computer was down. You know how these things are… Would you like me to send over the revised figures? You would. OK.
