英语作文的通知可分为两类，即书面通知和口头通知。
格式如下：
一、通知的标志
【书面通知】是书面的正式公告或布告，常常是张贴在显眼的位置，多用notice作标志。为了醒目起见，标志的每个字母可以用大写NOTICE或Notice，并常写在正文上方的正中位置。
【口头通知】用Announcement作标志，但通常省略不说。
二、通知的正文
正文要写明所做事情的具体时间、地点、概括性内容(多为书面通知的首句)、出席对象及有关注意事项。 布置工作的通知要把工作内容和要求写清楚。
三、通知的对象
被通知的单位或人一般用第三人称；但如果带有称呼语，则用第二人称表示被通知的对象，口头通知就常用第二人称表示被通知的对象。
涉及要求或注意事项时，也常用第二人称表示被通知的对象(祈使句中常常省略)。
四、通知的文体
书面通知用词贴切，语句简洁，具有书面化；
口头通知用词表达要注重口语化。
口头通知的开头往往有称呼语(被通知的对象)，如：
“Boys and girls”，“Ladies and gentlemen”，“Comrades and friends”等，
或用提醒听众注意的语句，如：
“Attention, please!”“Your attention, please!”“May I have your attention, please?”等，
且最好有结束语，如：
“Thank you(for listening)”以示礼貌．
常用句型：
1. Attention, please. I have an announcement to make.
2. Attention, please. I have something important to tell you. 3. Please come on time.
4. Come here on time and bring a pen and a notebook with you.
5. If you have any question or some other requirements, please let me know. 6. That’s all. Thanks for your attention.
7. No asking for leave without special reasons.
8. All the students are required to meet in the auditorium (礼堂) at 2:00p.m. on Tuesday.

Boys and girls,
May I have your attention? We will visit the summer Palace on Wednesday, May 4. The Summer Palace is the largest well-kept royal park in China. In the park there is water and man-piled hills. There are some royal buildings and a gallery, too. I am sure you will be struck by its beautiful scenery. In the morning we will be free to visit the different places of the Palace and then we will have lunch in the fast-food restaurant. We will get back to the hotel at half five.
Please gather at the hotel gate at 6:10 on Wednesday morning. The buses will start at 6:30. It will take us about 45 minutes to get there. Please be on time. That’s all. Thank you.
