商務寫作的基本要求： 在寫作過程中都必須遵循的六大原則，即禮貌(Courtesy)、準確(Correctness)、簡明(Conciseness)、清楚(Clarity)、具體(Concreteness)和完整(Completeness)，也叫做商務寫作的6C原則。以下是yjbys網小編整理的關於劍橋商務英語中級寫作練習，供大家備考。
練習一：
下面左邊各段選自電話中的對話，請寫出在功能相同的便箋和電子郵件中書面語言的表達。
“Hello, is that Michael Lee? This is the Managing Director here. Could you drop that report you’re working on over to me this morning? You know the one. About the feasibility of expanding our range of products. Thanks.”
“Harry? Yes, it’s Pete. Look, we’d better do something about attendance at our departmental staff meetings. If we don’t, no one will have any idea of what’s going on. What’s more, since people are paid to attend, maybe we’d better think about docking people’s salaries if they don’t attend.”
“Hello, could I speak to the Production Manager, please?… Hello, Mr Park. This is Kim Wongchui, here. It’s about that inspection you asked me to carry out. I’m afraid we found a lot of quality problems with the new machinery we’ve installed. I’d suggest shutting down production until we know the extent of the problem.”
Hello, Mr Fu? This is Frances Koh here. Yes, Senior Accounts Supervisor. Mr Fu, I’m afraid I made a slight mistake in the figures I sent you recently. Yes. Well, not really my fault. The computer was down. You know how these things are… Would you like me to send over the revised figures? You would. OK.
練習二： 下面左邊的便箋中有多處語法、用詞和文體上的錯誤，請指出並在右欄改正左欄中的錯誤。

第四講 商務會議記錄
一.會議記錄簡介
(一)什麼是會議記錄?
會議記錄一般記錄會議的主要內容，並分發給各與會者(或應該出席的人)。缺席者也可以通過會議記錄瞭解會上的決定。
在許多國家，會議記錄是由祕書完成的，但有些情況下，由主管人員親自作會議記錄會比較好，因爲：
·祕書可能不理解會議所涉及的`技術細節。
·如果會上只用英語交談，祕書在理解上可能有困難。
·經理可能不願意較低級職員出席他們的會議。
(二)怎樣寫好會議記錄
會議記錄不僅要記下會議的內容，而且還要抓住會議的精神。因此會議記錄者不僅要理解發言的內容，更要領會其言下之意。
