　　新加坡的通用合同分五部分：
4 R. Y3 z  M# j. H/ i　　第一部分：称为parties, 主要介绍合同各方的姓名或名称，注册地国及地址、邮编及各自在合同的简称。开头框架一般为：
　　THIS AGREEMENT is made the ---------__________ day of _____ （month）,____ (year) between A _______ (hereinafter called "The Company") of the part and B______, (hereinafter called "The Manager") of the other part.
: E) n8 s. C, b- O　　句子开头THIS AGREEMENT 或CONTRACT和当事人的姓名和名称，都应大写。当事人是自然人的，用“of”和其后的住址相连；是法人或非法人单位的，用“having its registered office at”和其后注册地址相连。
　　第二部分：称为recital。以WHEREAS开头，进入叙述部分，用陈述正式说明当事人订立合同的原因。
: A3 g* o2 E5 s! G, \/ _, g, _　　第三部分：称为habendum，正文。具体约定当事人的权利和义务。正文部分的结束段为：
　　IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hand the day and year first above written.
- V9 ^  ~1 `. O* a+ J  M　　这段作用相当于中文合同的“双方签字盖章，特此为证”。
　　第四部分：称为schedule或addendum，附录。是对前述合同部分条款的必要补充。不是所有合同都有这一项。
' j+ O" u- V6 h/ X　　第五部分：称为attestation，证明部分。当事人如果自然人，用“SIGNED by __”
；连接后填写见证姓名的表达部分“In the presence of ____”；当事人是法人或非法人单位时，授权代表后接的是“SIGNED for and on behalf _____ of____”，然后才是In the presence of _______。与中文合同的显著不同是签章处除当事人外，多了一个In the presence of _______供证人签字之处。另一不同的是合同订立日期没有放在合同最后，而是出现在开头段的当事人介绍部分。 中华考试网(www．Examw。com)
