Practical English Writing实用英语应用文写作;;Classification of Practical English Writing;Language Features and Writing Ways;为了检验你所写的应用文的完整性，我们可以使用5个W (Who, What, When, Where, Why) 和一个 H (How)。例如： NOTICE Dec. 31,2003 All the staff of Accounts Department are requested to be ready to attend the meeting in the conference room on Tuesday, at 3:00pm, Jan 6, 2004, to discuss the financial statement of last year. Accounts Dept.;;“纤素带（幅）宽半英寸，长３码，带塑料包装容器７0０打； 同上，但（幅）宽宽半英寸，长５码，１０００打。” 问题是后半句不清楚。 “ditto”在这里表示前面提到的商品名称纤维素带，但不能包括“带塑料包装容器”，因此，幅宽半英寸长５码的纤维素带是否有塑料包装容器没有说清楚，不完整。 所以最好改成： Cellulose Tape 1/2x 3yds, with plastic dispenser 700 doz. Cellulose Tape 1/2 x 5yds，with plastic dispenser 1000 doz.“ 这样既完整，又清楚明确，不引起误解。 ;2. 具体 任何一种英语应用文应当具体、明确和有说服力，而不应含糊、笼统和抽象。特别是合同、协议、通知、启事、招领、海报、广告和需要做出具体答复等的信函，必须强调具体使用的事实、数据和时间。;3 清楚 清楚，是英语应用文的主要语言特点之一。所谓清楚，就是要确保你所写的内容清楚，不被误解。要写得恰到好处，使读者不假思索就能理解你的要点为宜。要达到上述目的，必须注意下列几点： 1) 选择简明易懂的词语，尽量避免意义上模棱两可的词语和句子。例如：;As to the steamer sailing from Shanghai to Los Angeles, we have bimonthly direct services.;As to the steamer sailing from Shanghai to Los Angeles, we have bimonthly direct services. “bimonthly” has two meanings here. One is “twice a month”, another is “once every two months”. Revised: a) We have a direct sailing from Shanghai to Los Angeles every two months.(从上海到洛杉矶，每两月一次直达船。) ;2) 注意修饰词的位置，同一修饰词放到句中不同位置，会导致句子的含义不同。;3) 注意代名词的指代对象和关系代词与先行词的关系。例如： They informed Messrs. Smith Brown that they would receive a reply in a few days. Revised: They informed Messrs. Smith Brown that the later would receive the reply in a few days. (史密斯.布朗公司将在近日内得到答复。) ; 4）注意逻辑上的合理， 句子结构上的多变，情节上的紧凑和意义上的连贯。首先，必须注意分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语的一致。例如： ① Being a registered accountant, I’m sure you can help us.;Revised: Being a registered accountant, you can certainly help us. (作为一名……。) As you are a registered accountant, I’m sure you can hel
