备忘录--举例
　　例1
　　Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.
　　MEMO
　　August 16,2004
　　To:The leader of student service department
　　From: Li Ming
　　Subject:Telephone
　　Dear Sir,
　　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.
　　Regards.
　　Yours，
　　Li Ming
　　*"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。

　　*这是一封备忘录，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。

　　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:

　　You should write about 100 words.
　　To. David Green, Chief of Operations
　　From: Tony. Party , Supervisor
　　Subject: Comments on the "Punch-in" System
　　Date: March. 22, 2004
　　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
　　* 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"。
