要英文寫作時,你永遠(yuǎn)都面對著這三個困擾:
1. 我的文法對嗎?2. 表達(dá)得夠清楚嗎?3. 我寫得好不好?
只要融會貫通這三步驟,確實(shí)把握這些寫作訣竅,就能夠?qū)懗龅赖赖氐?,原汁原味的「英文作文」?/p>
英文寫作的原則,如同人生其他的定理:原則不變,一以貫之!在求職或申請學(xué)校時,需要寫履歷自傳,但怎么寫呢?還是要回到英文的溝通習(xí)慣:重點(diǎn)先講,細(xì)節(jié)隨后!運(yùn)用「三句話」原則,可歸納出寫履歷的三項基本要素:
ABC重要的話:求職的目標(biāo)
ABC具說服力的細(xì)節(jié):有利的學(xué)經(jīng)歷
ABC令人印象深刻的總結(jié):個人化的特點(diǎn)
ABC重要的話:求職的目標(biāo) (Objectives)
從雇主的角度來看一封履歷,ABC重要的話當(dāng)然是你求職的目的是什么?要找的工作性質(zhì)與內(nèi)容是什么?是不是切合雇主的需要?因此在一開始交代姓名與基本聯(lián)絡(luò)資料之后,就可以直接說明申請工作的目標(biāo)。因為是ABC重要的話,所以要簡潔有力,重點(diǎn)清楚,ABC不要超過三項,每項1-2行。
以下是一位出版社編輯的求職目標(biāo):
Objectives? Position sought: a Chief Editor’s role in a publisher where I can maximize my editorial and marketing experiences to develop integrated product portfolios for various language learning publications
? Job responsibilities: buying book rights from abroad, seeking potential writers,managing editorial process, writing copies for products, and creating marketing strategies
? Career goal: “to Bring World Languages to Taiwan and Bring the Chinese Language to the World.”
ABC具說服力的細(xì)節(jié): 有利的學(xué)經(jīng)歷(Education and Experiences)
既然有了清楚的求職目標(biāo),接下來就要提出有力的證明,詳細(xì)交代過去相關(guān)的學(xué)經(jīng)歷,佐證自己是有能力完成工作的ABC人選。因此求職目標(biāo)之下,可進(jìn)一步說明相關(guān)的各項磚業(yè)經(jīng)歷(Professional Experiences)。請注意,條列磚業(yè)項目的原則仍然是重點(diǎn)在前:ABC重要、ABC相關(guān)的先說!
各項工作經(jīng)驗的說明,必須簡潔扼要,條理一致。先交代公司雇主、職位職稱、雇用時間之后,可以分項條列的方式凸顯重點(diǎn)。以下提供同一編輯的部分磚業(yè)經(jīng)歷及學(xué)歷說明,作為範(fàn)例。請注意,學(xué)歷和經(jīng)歷相輔相成,兩者的先后順序可就申請的目標(biāo)來決定。如果是申請學(xué)校,ABC要把學(xué)歷放在前面(請參考 14.1 節(jié)申請學(xué)校的說明)。
