2010年考研英語應(yīng)用文小作文
應(yīng)用文寫作(小作文)
第一節(jié)命題分析
應(yīng)用文寫作是2005年大綱修訂之后出現(xiàn)的新題型,主要考查學(xué)生在某些特定的日常情境中英文的實(shí)際應(yīng)用能力。相對(duì)于大作文來說,應(yīng)用文的寫作還是比較容易完成的。但是在大約15分鐘內(nèi)按照題意寫出100詞的短文,考生不僅要能夠恰當(dāng)?shù)馗鶕?jù)給定情境迅速成文,而且也要有較高的語言能力。因此,在平時(shí)的準(zhǔn)備過程中,考生應(yīng)全面了解和掌握各種常見應(yīng)用文體的寫作格式、方法和特點(diǎn),尤其是要熟悉各類文體的基本結(jié)構(gòu)和常用句型。
大綱中規(guī)定的應(yīng)用文文體的種類包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報(bào)告等。鑒于考試的要求和實(shí)際情況,文章的長度以及文體應(yīng)用的廣泛程度,我們認(rèn)為應(yīng)用文寫作主要分為兩大類:信函類應(yīng)用文和告示類應(yīng)用文。其中信函類應(yīng)用文種類繁多、應(yīng)用廣泛,因此比較重要;告示類應(yīng)用文雖然寫法不同,但總體上的格式和要求是一致的,不能忽略其重要性。另外,應(yīng)用文寫作也有可能出現(xiàn)在平時(shí)的生活中,考生也要學(xué)會(huì)實(shí)際運(yùn)用。
應(yīng)用文的實(shí)際用途決定了其語言應(yīng)簡潔明了,但并不要求復(fù)雜多變、詞藻華麗。應(yīng)用文一般需要開門見山,一開始就明確地表達(dá)主要意思或目的;文章要求思路清晰,目標(biāo)明確,語氣恰當(dāng);尤其是公文信函中,一定要注意語言的正式和禮貌,遵循交際原則;最后還要注意細(xì)節(jié),確保事件、數(shù)字、日期等信息的準(zhǔn)確傳達(dá)和標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的正確使用。
第二節(jié)題型解析
信函類應(yīng)用文
書信是我們用以交涉事務(wù)、增進(jìn)了解、交流思想、聯(lián)絡(luò)感情的一個(gè)重要工具。就其文體可分為正式和非正式的文體;就其種類可分為私人信件、社交信件、商務(wù)信件和公務(wù)信件;就其用途可分為求職信、咨詢信、感謝信、投訴信、建議信、邀請(qǐng)信、推薦信等。這里先就書信的一般寫作格式加以介紹。
一封正規(guī)的英文書信的結(jié)構(gòu)或框架由以下五部分組成:
1.The Heading 信端 2.The Salutation 稱謂 3.The Body 正文 4.The Close 結(jié)尾
5.The Signature 簽名
下面分別對(duì)這五個(gè)部分進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的分析:
1.信端(或信頭)
信端是寫信是最先要寫的,也就是你的地址和寫信日期。當(dāng)然,如果你的長期通信地址收信人已知道,信端只寫日期也行。
寫信端時(shí)至少要離紙的邊緣三、四行開始寫,信端寫在信紙右上角。先寫發(fā)信人地址,第一行寫門牌號(hào)碼和街道名稱;第二行寫區(qū)名、市(縣)名、省(州)名;寄往國外的信,還要加上國家的名稱;第三行寫發(fā)信日期。
日期的寫法應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):
(1)年份應(yīng)寫完整,不能以09代替2009;
(2)月份通常用縮寫形式(May, June, July除外);
(3)日期最好用基數(shù)詞,這樣簡單明了;
(4)如果都用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字,一般順序是:日、月、年。
整個(gè)日期可用下列幾種表達(dá)方式:
Oct.15, 2009
15th Oct.2009 Oct.2009
注意:日期與年份之間總要用逗號(hào)隔開,但月份與日期之間不用逗號(hào)(全用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字除外)。
2.稱謂
信的稱謂是對(duì)收信人的尊稱語。一般在信紙的左邊頂格開始書寫,低于信內(nèi)地址一、二行;如果沒有信內(nèi)地址,就低與信端一、二行。
不管寫給何人的信都首先寫上Dear。給一般朋友的信,Dear 后跟名字,如Dear Mary;給母親的信,Dear 后跟稱謂,如 Dear Mother;給長輩親戚的信,Dear 后跟稱謂,如 Dear Uncle John;給不太相識(shí)的人寫信,Dear后跟先生、夫人、小姐等稱呼,再跟姓,如 Dear Mr.Brown, Dear Miss Jenny;如果不知對(duì)方姓名,可直接寫 Dear Sir或 Dear Madam,如連對(duì)方的性別都不知道,就寫 Dear Sir/Madam。
千萬不要根據(jù)漢語的習(xí)慣用下列稱呼,如 Dear Friend, Mr.Frank Smith等。
稱呼后一般用逗號(hào),但美國和加拿大英語常用冒號(hào)。
3.正文
信的正文是一封信最重要的部分,它包含你要說的話或你的個(gè)人信息等。
信的正文在稱呼的下面一行,一般在信紙左邊五六個(gè)字母的空隙后開始寫。寫正文時(shí),如果涉及的事務(wù)較多,可以分段敘述。每段開頭都要留空格,每句第一個(gè)字母都應(yīng)大寫。信的正文應(yīng)簡明扼要,條理清楚,語言通俗易懂。信的開頭語和結(jié)束語多種多樣。
常見的開頭語有:
I was so pleased to receive your letter...Thank you for your kind letter...Sorry for delaying this letter so long...常見的結(jié)束語有:
Best wishes to you.Take good care of yourself and write often.Our warm regards to your parents.4.結(jié)尾
信的結(jié)尾即在簽名前再一次表示敬意和問候。信的結(jié)尾寫在低于正文兩、三行的地方,大都從信紙中間偏右的位置寫起,只第一個(gè)字母大寫,句末應(yīng)用逗號(hào)。確切的措辭取決于書信的種類以及與收信人的友誼深淺和親昵程度。如果寫給一般相識(shí),就不應(yīng)用“Devoutly yours,”或者“With deepest affection,”也不要用冷漠和正式的 “Very truly yours,”寫給一位很喜歡的老相識(shí),結(jié)尾既不要過分使用華麗辭藻,也不可粗魯無禮,而是要恰到好處的用詞。
寫給專業(yè)人士的商務(wù)信函,一般用正式的社交語言結(jié)尾。如:“Very truly yours.”
一般非正式的社交信函,通常使用下列結(jié)尾:Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Always sincerely yours, Yours cordially, Most cordially yours, Faithfully yours 等。
對(duì)于密友或親戚可以用這些結(jié)尾:Yours affectionately, Always affectionately yours, Lovingly yours, Yours Loving sister, With love 等。
至于情書,那要看愛情的深厚程度如何,可以用一般性的結(jié)尾“Fondly yours,” 也可用沖動(dòng)的 “Yours with the utmost devotion,”。
我們中國人用英語寫信,往往受漢語書信格式和語言的影響,所以要注意不要用中國式的結(jié)尾如 “I salute to you,” “Salute,”等。
5.簽名
寫信人將自己的名字簽在結(jié)尾的下面,偏向信紙的右邊,名字簽完一般要靠近右邊邊緣。簽名時(shí)要注意名字的拼法:一是不要帶有任何頭銜,二是中國人的姓名若是兩個(gè)漢字的名字,其拼音的首字母都要大寫,如 “Li Ming”(而現(xiàn)在最流行的寫法是姓氏的字母全都要大寫,如LI Ming, 以便讓人區(qū)別姓氏與名字);若是三個(gè)字的名字則第一、二個(gè)拼音字母大寫,第三個(gè)與第二個(gè)無間隔首字母小寫,如:“Liu Xiaoming”。
考研作文中沒有對(duì)英文信封的考查要求,故在此只作簡單介紹,作為考生的知識(shí)擴(kuò)充。英文信封的寫法與中文信封的寫法不同。發(fā)信人的地址應(yīng)寫在信封左上角,收信人的地址應(yīng)寫在信封中間。
以上是一般書信的寫作格式,下面我們列出一些具體信箋及其所需包含的內(nèi)容,以提供考生參照。1.投訴信(Letter of Complaints)
投訴信是針對(duì)某件不快樂的事情向責(zé)任人提出的投訴、抱怨等的信件,其寫作要點(diǎn)如下:
(1)首段開門見山指明所投訴的具體事件。
(2)接著將問題清晰、簡潔、公正地描述出來,指出事件給你帶來的不便。
(3)感謝對(duì)方關(guān)注你的投訴,清楚地表明你想如何得到解決,并期待對(duì)方盡早解決問題。

第四篇:考研英語應(yīng)用文(小作文)題型解析(一)書信寫作格式
考研英語應(yīng)用文(小作文)題型解析(一)
應(yīng)用文寫作(小作文)
第一節(jié)命題分析
應(yīng)用文寫作是2005年大綱修訂之后出現(xiàn)的新題型,主要考查學(xué)生在某些特定的日常情境中英文的實(shí)際應(yīng)用能力。相對(duì)于大作文來說,應(yīng)用文的寫作還是比較容易完成的。但是在大約15分鐘內(nèi)按照題意寫出100詞的短文,考生不僅要能夠恰當(dāng)?shù)馗鶕?jù)給定情境迅速成文,而且也要有較高的語言能力。因此,在平時(shí)的準(zhǔn)備過程中,考生應(yīng)全面了解和掌握各種常見應(yīng)用文體的寫作格式、方法和特點(diǎn),尤其是要熟悉各類文體的基本結(jié)構(gòu)和常用句型。大綱中規(guī)定的應(yīng)用文文體的種類包括私人和公務(wù)信函、備忘錄、摘要、報(bào)告等。鑒于考試的要求和實(shí)際情況,文章的長度以及文體應(yīng)用的廣泛程度,我們認(rèn)為應(yīng)用文寫作主要分為兩大類:信函類應(yīng)用文和告示類應(yīng)用文。其中信函類應(yīng)用文種類繁多、應(yīng)用廣泛,因此比較重要;告示類應(yīng)用文雖然寫法不同,但總體上的格式和要求是一致的,不能忽略其重要性。另外,應(yīng)用文寫作也有可能出現(xiàn)在平時(shí)的生活中,考生也要學(xué)會(huì)實(shí)際運(yùn)用。
應(yīng)用文的實(shí)際用途決定了其語言應(yīng)簡潔明了,但并不要求復(fù)雜多變、詞藻華麗。應(yīng)用文一般需要開門見山,一開始就明確地表達(dá)主要意思或目的;文章要求思路清晰,目標(biāo)明確,語氣恰當(dāng);尤其是公文信函中,一定要注意語言的正式和禮貌,遵循交際原則;最后還要注意細(xì)節(jié),確保事件、數(shù)字、日期等信息的準(zhǔn)確傳達(dá)和標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)的正確使用。
第二節(jié)題型解析
一、信函類應(yīng)用文
書信是我們用以交涉事務(wù)、增進(jìn)了解、交流思想、聯(lián)絡(luò)感情的一個(gè)重要工具。就其文體可分為正式和非正式的文體;就其種類可分為私人信件、社交信件、商務(wù)信件和公務(wù)信件;就其用途可分為求職信、咨詢信、感謝信、投訴信、建議信、邀請(qǐng)信、推薦信等。這里先就書信的一般寫作格式加以介紹。
一封正規(guī)的英文書信的結(jié)構(gòu)或框架由以下五部分組成:
1.The Heading 信端
2.The Salutation 稱謂
3.The Body 正文
4.The Close 結(jié)尾
5.The Signature 簽名
下面分別對(duì)這五個(gè)部分進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的分析:
1.信端(或信頭)
信端是寫信是最先要寫的,也就是你的地址和寫信日期。當(dāng)然,如果你的長期通信地址收信人已知道,信端只寫日期也行。
寫信端時(shí)至少要離紙的邊緣三、四行開始寫,信端寫在信紙右上角。先寫發(fā)信人地址,第一行寫門牌號(hào)碼和街道名稱;第二行寫區(qū)名、市(縣)名、省(州)名;寄往國外的信,還要加上國家的名稱;第三行寫發(fā)信日期。
日期的寫法應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):
(1)年份應(yīng)寫完整,不能以09代替2009;
(2)月份通常用縮寫形式(May, June, July除外);
(3)日期最好用基數(shù)詞,這樣簡單明了;
(4)如果都用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字,一般順序是:日、月、年。
整個(gè)日期可用下列幾種表達(dá)方式:
Oct.15, 2009
15th Oct.2009Oct.2009
注意:日期與年份之間總要用逗號(hào)隔開,但月份與日期之間不用逗號(hào)(全用阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字除外)。
2.稱謂
信的稱謂是對(duì)收信人的尊稱語。一般在信紙的左邊頂格開始書寫,低于信內(nèi)地址一、二行;如果沒有信內(nèi)地址,就低與信端一、二行。
不管寫給何人的信都首先寫上Dear。給一般朋友的信,Dear 后跟名字,如Dear Mary;給母親的信,Dear 后跟稱謂,如 Dear Mother;給長輩親戚的信,Dear 后跟稱謂,如 Dear Uncle John;給不太相識(shí)的人寫信,Dear后跟先生、夫人、小姐等稱呼,再跟姓,如 Dear Mr.Brown, Dear Miss Jenny;如果不知對(duì)方姓名,可直接寫 Dear Sir或 Dear Madam,如連對(duì)方的性別都不知道,就寫 Dear Sir/Madam。
千萬不要根據(jù)漢語的習(xí)慣用下列稱呼,如 Dear Friend, Mr.Frank Smith等。稱呼后一般用逗號(hào),但美國和加拿大英語常用冒號(hào)。
3.正文
信的正文是一封信最重要的部分,它包含你要說的話或你的個(gè)人信息等。
信的正文在稱呼的下面一行,一般在信紙左邊五六個(gè)字母的空隙后開始寫。寫正文時(shí),如果涉及的事務(wù)較多,可以分段敘述。每段開頭都要留空格,每句第一個(gè)字母都應(yīng)大寫。信的正文應(yīng)簡明扼要,條理清楚,語言通俗易懂。信的開頭語和結(jié)束語多種多樣。常見的開頭語有:
I was so pleased to receive your letter...Thank you for your kind letter...Sorry for delaying this letter so long...常見的結(jié)束語有:
Best wishes to you.Take good care of yourself and write often.Our warm regards to your parents.4.結(jié)尾
信的結(jié)尾即在簽名前再一次表示敬意和問候。信的結(jié)尾寫在低于正文兩、三行的地方,大都從信紙中間偏右的位置寫起,只第一個(gè)字母大寫,句末應(yīng)用逗號(hào)。確切的措辭取決于書信的種類以及與收信人的友誼深淺和親昵程度。如果寫給一般相識(shí),就不應(yīng)用“Devoutly yours,”或者“With deepest affection,”也不要用冷漠和正式的 “Very truly yours,”寫給一位很喜歡的老相識(shí),結(jié)尾既不要過分使用華麗辭藻,也不可粗魯無禮,而是要恰到好處的用詞。
寫給專業(yè)人士的商務(wù)信函,一般用正式的社交語言結(jié)尾。如:“Very truly yours.”一般非正式的社交信函,通常使用下列結(jié)尾:Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Always sincerely yours, Yours cordially, Most cordially yours, Faithfully yours 等。對(duì)于密友或親戚可以用這些結(jié)尾:Yours affectionately, Always affectionately yours, Lovingly yours, Yours Loving sister, With love 等。
至于情書,那要看愛情的深厚程度如何,可以用一般性的結(jié)尾“Fondly yours,” 也可用沖動(dòng)的 “Yours with the utmost devotion,”。
我們中國人用英語寫信,往往受漢語書信格式和語言的影響,所以要注意不要用中國式的結(jié)尾如 “I salute to you,” “Salute,”等。
5.簽名
寫信人將自己的名字簽在結(jié)尾的下面,偏向信紙的右邊,名字簽完一般要靠近右邊邊緣。簽名時(shí)要注意名字的拼法:一是不要帶有任何頭銜,二是中國人的姓名若是兩個(gè)漢字的名字,其拼音的首字母都要大寫,如 “Li Ming”(而現(xiàn)在最流行的寫法是姓氏的字母全都要大寫,如LI Ming, 以便讓人區(qū)別姓氏與名字);若是三個(gè)字的名字則第一、二個(gè)拼音字母大寫,第三個(gè)與第二個(gè)無間隔首字母小寫,如: “Liu Xiaoming”。
考研作文中沒有對(duì)英文信封的考查要求,故在此只作簡單介紹,作為考生的知識(shí)擴(kuò)充。英文信封的寫法與中文信封的寫法不同。發(fā)信人的地址應(yīng)寫在信封左上角,收信人的地址應(yīng)寫在信封中間。
