（2）通知的写作

通知是一种安排活动或布置工作时使用的文体，包括了口头通知和书面通知。口头通知是当面向有关人员口授有关活动的信息，而书面通知是以布告的形式把事情通知给有关人员。通知的要素是时间，地点，对象，事件具体内容，注意事项等。通知的语言应该是简洁明了，直截了当。还应该注意要有一定的逻辑顺序。 注意：

1）口头通知一般都会将下列词句放在开头

Ladies and gentlemen Boys and girls

May I have your attention , please?

I have something important to tell you. 结尾时会以以下句子结束：That’s all. Thank you.

2）书面通知在正文之前的正中位置写Notice字样，结尾要写明时间及发出通知的单位。 例：

广播通知：

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born on March 14th,1879 in Germany. When he was a child, he was curious about everything, but he was considered to be slow at learning. In 1886, he began to study in Munich. He studied mathematics as well as religion. In 1896, Einstein graduated from high school at the age of 17.

Four years later, Einstein became a maths teacher. In 1905, he received a doctor’s degree. By the year 1915, he had developed the famous Theory of Relativity and became famous in the world. He proved that light is bent as it passes the sun. Because of his great achievement, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in the 20th century. Some people say that he was a genius. But I think the main reason why he was so successful was his hard work.

1. Museums can help understand what happened in the past 2. Museums can educate people

3. Museums are centers for research.

4. Museums can attract tourists to the city 1. Museums use up a great sum of money

2. Museums are usually in old buildings, so they need protection

Most cities have at least one museum, but how important are museums to people living in the 21st century?

Some people think that museums use up the money which could be spent on other things. Besides, museums are usually in old buildings, so they often need protection.

In my opinion, museums can help people understand what happened in the past. If we have a better understanding of the past, we may improve our life in the future. Museums play an important role in educating people and they are centers for research. Also, museums are very important for tourism. They attract a lot of tourists to the city each year.

To sum up, it seems to me that museums are an important part of our life. They are worth visiting and protecting.

An emergency may happen every day. But if we are careful and follow some safety rules, some can be avoided. Let’s take chemistry lab as an example.

First of all, you should wash your hands before and after the experiment. And you should keep the air in the lab fresh. You’d better put on the gloves when doing the experiment. Be careful with fire and dangerous medicine.

Never taste chemicals or eat anything in the lab. Always remember not to touch anything without teacher’s permission. You shouldn’t run about in the lab.

Only in this way can you keep yourself safe in the lab.
