如何写通知
通知分书面通知与口头通知两种。主要是上级对下级或组织对成员布置工作、传达精神或召开会议时所采用的一种文体。通知的语言要规范,切忌使用模糊不清的语言和俗语。时间、地点、参加者、内容、注意事项是通知的要点,应直截了当地一一予以说明。
1.口头通知用词表达要注重口语化。口头通知的开头往往有称呼语(被通知的对象),如"Boys and girls,""Ladies and gentlemen,""Comrades and friends,"等,或用提醒听众注意的语句, 如"Attention,please!""Your attention, please!""May I have your attention, please?"等,且多有结束语,如"Thank you(for listening)."以示礼貌。
2.书面通知一般在正文上方居中写标题Notice(NOTICE)或Announcement (ANNOUNCEMENT)。书面通知一定要有发出通知的时间及落款。发出通知的时间一般写在通知正文的左下角,落款位于右下角,也可都写在右下角或左下角
正文要写明所做事情的时间、地点、概括性内容(多为书面通知的首句)、出席对象及注意事项。正文一般可采用文章式,为了醒目,也可采用广告式。
书面通知要求用词贴切,语句简洁,多用书面语。
在通知中被动语态使用较多,且多用将来时态,正文一般用第三人称来写。
