寫封禮貌得體英文辭職信（上）

以下是一封在英文堂上，其中一位同學展示給筆者看的實習辭職信。
而筆者亦即時給在場學生15秒時間，考考他們講出當中最常見寫辭職信的錯誤。

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to inform you that I want to resign from my current position. I have been working for this company for two years, and I have enjoyed my time here. However, I have decided to move on to new opportunities.

I would like to give my two weeks’ notice and my last day of work will be on Friday, June 18th. I thank you for the opportunity to work here and for all of the experiences that I have gained. I hope that we can stay in touch in the future.

Sincerely,

（Your Name）

注意語法錯誤

同學看完信後，列出了「不清晰的理由或解釋」、「沒使用尊重的語言」及「語法錯誤」等問題。當中亦有同學舉一反三，找出了這篇辭職信的幾個問題。

（一）在信中應該使用適當的語氣，表達你的辭職意向。如果語氣不當，可能會讓人感到不舒服。故此，「I want to resign」，應該用「I would like to resign」去取代較適合。

（二）語法錯誤：在信中應該注意使用正確的動詞時態、主謂一致原則和標點符號。常見的語法錯誤，包括動詞時態的混淆、動詞主謂不一致、冠詞和代詞的使用錯誤等。

「I have been working for this company for two years」，應該用「I have worked for this company for two years」，表示自己在公司的兩年職涯已經過去。

（三）「However, I have decided to move on to new opportunities」，應該用「However, I have decided to pursue new opportunities」，表示追求新的機會。

（四）「I would like to give my two weeks’ notice」，應該用「I am giving my two weeks’ notice」，以表示正在提交辭職通知。

（五） 拼寫錯誤和文體不當：在辭職信中，應該注意拼寫單詞的正確性，以及使用正確的文體和禮貌用語。

常見的錯誤包括拼寫錯誤的單詞、使用不當的禮貌用語和文體，以及標點符號的使用錯誤等。「I thank you」建議改為「I would like to express my gratitude」表示感謝，後者屬禮貌用語。
