A Few Pieces of Advice
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don"t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing①and do not take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about rubbish. It isn"t lawful to drop rubbish in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a dustbin.
Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age .
I"d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance②, you should contact③the local police, who will be pleased to help you.
Now, are there any questions?
【詞語解釋】
①pedestrian[pi"destri+n] a.徒步的;步行的 pedestrian crossing 人行橫道
②assistance[+"sist+ns] n.援助;幫助

【寫法指要】
寫這類口頭通知時要註意，每條註意事項(points for attention)單獨成一段，用表示順序的詞“first”，“second”等開頭，接著是省略主題句，多數隻留主題詞，即關鍵字，使其起到提綱摯領的作用。
