便 笺 1
结构要点便笺也叫做便条，是一种简便的信函，形式简单，可用于询问、道歉、请假、约会、留言、归还东西等很多事由。
Suppose you have received a short notice that you are invited to a meeting in another city. Since you do not have time to tell your roommate about it in person, write a note in about 100 words to him/her. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead.
Dear Betty,
I have received a short notice and am going to attend a meeting in Suzhou. As time is very limited, I have to take a train immediately and cannot explain it to you in person. I am returning on Friday evening.
So I’m sorry that I have to leave without informing you beforehand and cannot go swimming with you tomorrow as I promised. I hope you will take good care of yourself when I am away. Don’t forget to close the window and check the lock before you go to sleep. I know you like silk very much and will bring you a silk scarf when I am back.
Yours,
Li Ming
便 笺 2
语言注意点便笺语言较简单和口语化，但应注意，说明事由时要简洁、清楚，不需过多的套话。
Suppose your mother has come to see you and tonight you will sleep in the room she has booked in a hotel near your university. Write a note in about 100 words to inform your roommate Linda of that. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead.
Dear Linda,
I am afraid that I won’t be in our dormitory tonight because my mother has come here to see me and I plan to sleep in the room she has booked in a nearby hotel. I had wanted to tell you that in person but you are not back yet. So I have to leave this note for you.
My mother has brought me several bags of beef jerky that are a special product of my hometown. I’ve left two of them on your desk. Help yourself and I hope you’ll enjoy them.
Besides I have asked our teacher for a day’s leave. So I won’t be present in tomorrow’s class. Would you do me a favor by handing in my history assignment to the teacher? It is on your desk beneath the beef jerky. Thanks.
Take care of yourself.
Yours,
Li Ming
