2006年考研英语写作分成两部分：第一部分是应用文写作，包括书信、便笺、备忘录等，要求写100字左右；第二部分是短文写作，这部分字数要求跟以往不一样，以往要求写200多字，现在要求写160字到200字之间。本文给大家讲讲便笺写作（Note Writing）写作要点。 便笺写作（Note Writing）实际上与书信写作（Letter Writing）大致相似，但有三点主要不同：
1. 便笺较随便，因此语气通常更轻松，格式和语言都是如此。2. 通常便笺较短，应言简意赅，这意味着你必须略去冗余信息。3. 便笺写起来往往更具个性化，通常语言更接近口语，更直接。
一、样 题：
Directions:
You are late for an appointment with a professor. You also have books that are due at the library in a few hours. Write a note to your roommate asking if she could return the books for you. In return for the favor, offer to buy her lunch.

范文：
Dear Jane,
I have a big favor to ask you. I am late for my appointment with Professor Jones, and need to go directly to his office. I also have two books that are due back at the library this evening. As I will not be able to get to the library before it closes, I was wondering if you would possibly have the time to return the books for me.
I realize this is a big favor to ask of you, as you are also very busy. In return for help, I would like to buy you lunch tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
译文：
亲爱的简，
我要请你帮个大忙。我与琼斯教授有个约会，现在已经晚了，我得直接去他的办公室。可我还有两本书要还图书馆，今晚就到期了。我可能在图书馆关门之前赶不到那里，所以我想知道你能否有时间帮我还。
我知道你也很忙，这可真太麻烦你了。为了感谢你帮忙，我明天请你吃午饭吧。谢谢！
