Write a functional notice and justify a proposal

A useful situation

• Your goal: Give actionable information and separate it from opinion.
• Before you start, recall the words you already know. New words below are here to help, not a list you must master before continuing.

Words you will use

• temporarily suspend暂停zàntíng zàntíng — temporarily suspend. to serve服务fú wùtemporarily suspend暂停zàntíng。
• resume恢复huīfù huīfù — resume. Wednesday周三zhōu sānresume恢复huīfù。
• during the period期间qījiān qījiān — during the period. construction施工shī gōngduring the period期间qījiān。
• separately / later另行lìngxíng lìngxíng — separately / later. to notify at a different…另行通知lìng xíng tōng zhī。
• suggest / recommendation建议jiànyì jiànyì — suggest / recommendation. suggest / recommendation建议jiànyìto raise增加zēng jiāto bloom开放kāi fàng(concept of) time时间shí jiān。

Build the meaning

• A notice needs who is affected, what changes, when, where, and what to do. Use explicit dates or named days rather than ambiguous relative time.
• A proposal adds reasons, tradeoffs, and an alternative. Keep persuasive claims separate from the notice’s confirmed instructions.

Listen for a fresh detail

• Listen before revealing the script.
• Replay if you need to. This is practice: if playback is unavailable, use the script as reading and return to listening on a device with Mandarin playback.

• The reading and listening have different details. Use the material for the question you are answering.
• Read once for the situation, then again for the relevant detail. Reveal help when needed.

Speak, write, and review

• Explain the closure to someone who arrives Monday. Then discuss the holiday-repair proposal and its tradeoff.
• Record yourself privately or work with a partner. First try without the model, then compare the meaning and structure; a text checker cannot assess your pronunciation.

• Write a notice for a fictional one-day room closure, followed by a separate two-sentence proposal.
• Tomorrow, recall two words and repeat the task with one detail changed. Revisit it after a few days; return sooner to the part that felt difficult.
