第一篇:高考英語作文書信
(一)書信 概述
書信是人們在日常生活和工作中進行交際的工具,也是高考書面表達中常見的考試文體。由于民族語言和習慣上的差異,英語信件在書寫格式及表達方式上與漢語不大一樣,有些地方迥然不同。本章將向大家介紹一般格式及各種常見信件,如家信、祝賀信、道歉信及自薦信等。
一般格式
英文書信的構成可分為8個部分: 信頭(Heading)日期(Date)收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)稱呼(Salutation)信文(Body of the letter)結束語(Complimentary close)署名(Signature)附言(P.S.)(1)信頭(Heading)信頭是指發信人的單位名稱或地址。一般情況下發信人只需把自己的地址寫(打字,手寫均可)在信的右上角,離開信紙的頂頭約1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:
①齊頭式
②縮進式
注意:寫地址的次序與中文不同,應先寫門牌號碼街道,然后城市和國名。寫地址時采用齊頭或縮進式,以及每行后要不要加標點符號,都沒有固定的規定。如寫給經常往來的親友,這項地址也可以省略。
(2)日期(Date)寫日期注意下列各點:
①年份應寫全,例如不能用“07”來代替“2007”;
②月份應寫英文名稱,除May, July外,可用縮寫,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用數字來代替,如7/4/99 或7,4,99,因為在英國此日期代表 7th April,2007,而美國則代表4th July,2007。
③日期可用1,2,3,4?11,12?21,22?31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th?11th,21th?22nd?31st等。
日期的幾種寫法: a.July 7,2007 b.1st October,2007 c.30 Nov., 2006 d.Sep.3rd, 2007 ④特別注意英文書信日期應緊接著寫信人地址下一行,不能像寫中文書信那樣寫在書信簽名之后,這是很多學生的常見錯誤。
精選范文 ①
②
(3)收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)寫信人的地址和日期寫好以后,接著就要寫收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事務信件或給較生疏的朋友的信件要寫,而在給極熟的朋友的信中則可省去。這一項寫在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名寫一行,收信人地址可分兩行或三行寫,和寫信人的地址一樣,上下可取齊,也可以向右縮進。在姓名前一般要加上稱號,稱號因人而異。
①對普通男子用Mr; ②對未婚女子用Miss;
③對已婚女子用Mrs,對婚姻狀況不明確的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓); ④對男子用Master;
⑤對教授或博士(醫生)用Prof.或Dr. 精選范文
(4)稱呼(Salutation)稱呼指的是信文開頭的那種稱呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各種稱呼因人而異。在稱呼后面一般是用逗號,但也有用冒號的。現歸納如下:
①對父母、兄弟、姐妹等; a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c.Dear Sister, d.Dear Tom, ②對親戚:
a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin, ③對朋友、同學
a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir, ④對未婚女子: a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce, ⑤對一般女子,不論是否結婚: a.Madame, b.Dear Madame, ⑥對已婚女子:
a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson, ⑦對公司、工廠、學校等: a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,(5)信文(Body of the letter)信文是信件的主體部分,也就是信的內容。正文應在稱呼下兩行開始。信的開頭第一個字母通常和稱呼開頭第一個詞平齊。也有往后退四個或八個字母的。下面介紹一些開頭語和結尾語。
開頭語
①相當于中文的“敬君者”。a.I beg to inform you that?
b.I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that ? c.I have the honor to address you that?
d. I write in a hurry to inform you that? e.I have the pleasure to tell you that? f.I'm very much delighted to inform you that? ②相當于中文的“接讀某月某日來信,一切知悉”。
a.I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th ? b.Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.c.It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.d.In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that ? e.I have received your kind letter of May 20th.f.Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.g.Your letter dated May 20th has been received.結尾語 采用三種方法:
①采用分詞短語:句末用逗號,不用句號。例如: a.Waiting for your good news, b.Looking forward to your early reply, c.Hoping to hear from you soon, d.Hoping you are enjoying good health, e.Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply, f.Regretting the trouble I'm causing you, g.Wishing you every success, h.Wishing you a pleasant journey, i.Wishing you a happy New Year, ②采用介詞短語,例如: a.With best regards, b.With kind regards to your family, c.With best wishes to you and yours, d.With best wishes for your success and happiness, e.With best wishes for your success in your new field of work, f.With best regards and wishing you all success, g.With warmest regards, h.With best regards to you and your family, i.With the season's greetings, ③采用完整句子:
a.We are waiting for your good news.b.I hope to receive your early reply.c.We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.d.I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.(6)結束語(Complimentary Close)結束語的一般寫法如下: ①業務書信常用: Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly,Truly yours, Sincerely yours, ②公函常用: Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely, ③私人書信常用: Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,④給親戚朋友的信常用: Love, All my love,Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc.Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,(7)署名(Signature)下面是署名的例子: ①個人署名: truly, W.J.Watson Yours faithfully, ②公司署名:
Legend Computer Company Wang Lin Sales Manager(8)附言(Postscript)發信人有時在寫完信后又想起一件比較重要的事沒有說,可以在信末署名下面幾行寫上,P.S.(Postscript 的縮寫),然后將要補充的話寫上。不過要注意寫信時最好將事情一次講清楚,盡量少用或不用P.S.。

第五篇:高考英語書信作文全解析
高考英語書信作文全解析 高考英語書信作文全解析
多年來,應用文一直是高考英語書面表達部分的命題熱點。高考??紤梦陌〞?、發言稿/演講稿、留言條、通知等。其中,書信應用文以其獨特的優勢成為命題人的寵兒。下面筆者結合高考真題,對書信類作文的命題形式、命題趨勢和解題策略進行全面的介紹,希望能幫助大家更好地應對這一題型。
命題形式
下面以兩道真題為例來介紹這種題型的命題形式。例1:2011年高考英語全國卷I書面表達
假定你是李華,正在一所英國學校學習暑期課程,遇到一些困難,希望得到學校輔導中心(Learning Center)的幫助。根據學校規定,你需書面預約,請按下列要點寫一封信: 1.本人簡介;2.求助內容;3.約定時間;4.省略;Phone: 12345678)。
注意: 1.詞數100左右;2.可以適當增加細節,以使行文連貫;3.結束語已為你寫好。
Dear Sir/Madam, ___________________________________________________________ _____________ ___________________________________________________________ _____________ ___________________________________________________________ _____________ Look forward to your reply.Yours, Li Hua 例2:2010年高考英語全國卷II書面表達
假設你是李華,你的美國筆友Peter曾表示希望來中國教書。你校現需招聘外教,請給他寫封信,告知招聘信息。內容主要包括: 1.教授課程:英語口語、英語寫作、今日美國、今日英國等 2.授課對象:高中生(至少三年英語基礎)3.工作量: ——每周12學時,任選三門課
——擔任學生英語俱樂部或英語校報顧問(advisor)注意: 1.詞數100左右;2.可以適當增加細節,以使行文連貫;3.開頭語已為你寫好。
Dear Peter, I remember you told me you were interested in teaching in China.___________________________________________________________ ___________ Best, Li Hua 從這兩道題目中考生可以直觀地看出,書信題目一般分為三個部分,分別是“背景介紹”“內容要點”和“注意事項”。“背景介紹”部分模擬了一個實際生活中可能存在的情景,告訴考生“為什么需要寫這封信”;“內容要點”部分給出這封信中一定要涵蓋的三到四個
內容點,告訴考生“這封信中要寫些什么”;“注意事項”部分給出字數等限制性要求,為考生答題立下一定的規矩。題目中一般會給出稱呼語和落款,有時還會給出結束語或開頭語。
命題趨勢
為什么命題人喜歡選用這種題型呢,這是因為書信作文有以下三大特點。1.貼近生活。書信作文比一般的提綱式議論文更加貼近日常生活中的實際交際,符合高考英語大綱“貼近生活”“注重實際運用能力”的要求。
2.形式規范。和其他幾種應用文相比,書信在形式上有著更加明確的寫作規范,容易制定統一的評分標準。
3.“題庫”完善。書信作文雖無固定“題庫”,但過去多年的考試經驗已積累了豐富的真題資源,命題專家參考歷年各省考過的真題,容易命制高質量的題目。
基于以上三點原因,筆者預計,在今年以及今后幾年,書信仍然是高考英語書面表達的命題重點。
解題策略
大體上來說,除了開頭的稱呼和最后的落款外,書信作文可分開頭段、中間段和結尾段三部分來寫,既要符合書信的一般套路如要有問候語和祝福語等,又要涵蓋寫作要求中的內容要點,把問題或事情交代完整。下面具體講解各段的寫法。
1.開頭段
開頭段應寫出四方面的內容,即問候、自我介紹、寫信背景、寫信目的。這部分應簡潔明快,用幾句話交代清上述四方面內容即可。? 問候。問候是考生交際能力和個人修養的體現,也是寫信最基本的套路。如果不對收信人進行簡單的問候就開門見山地“就事論
事”,會顯得突兀和不自然。問候部分很簡單,往往一句“How are you?”就能搞定。
? 自我介紹。如果對方不認識你,就有必要寫一句自我介紹。自我介紹需要根據題目所給信息來寫,一般包括姓名、身份、所在學校等(注意:切不可寫出考生自己的真實姓名和所在學校),如在2011年全國卷I書面表達中應簡要介紹寫信人名叫李華,“正在一所英國學校學習暑期課程”(I'm Li Hua, a Chinese student taking summer courses in your university.)。有時,有的題目還會要求你寫興趣愛好、家庭環境等信息。這時,最佳的寫法就是綜合運用多種語法知識,用一兩句話囊括全部的必要信息,體現考生高水平的語言運用能力。例如:I'm Li Hua, a 17-year-old boy currently studying in Xinhua High School.Born to a family of writers, I'm crazy about reading novels and writing poems.? 寫信背景。要用一句話交代出“你為什么要寫這封信”。此時可參考題目中的“背景介紹”部分,進行簡單的翻譯或轉述。如2011年全國卷I書面表達題目中,“遇到一些困難”就屬于寫信背景;2010年全國卷II書面表達題目中,“你的美國筆友Peter曾表示希望來中國教書”“你?,F需招聘外教”這兩個內容點亦屬于寫信背景。
? 寫信目的。要用一句話明確指出“你寫這封信是為了達成什么目的”。寫信目的在題目中的“背景介紹”部分往往都有提示。如2011年全國卷I書面表達題目中的“希望得到學校輔導中心(Learning Center)的幫助”就是寫信目的,可寫成:Now, I am writing to ask you for help.2010年全國卷II書面表達題目中的“告知招聘信息”亦為寫信目的,可寫成:Now, I am writing to tell you about the details.需要指出的是,如果題目中要求的寫信目的不唯一,那么開頭段中可不必寫出寫信目的,而在中間段中具體體現。如2009年山東卷書面表達: 假設你是李華,曾在美國學習半年,現已回國。你想聯系你的美國老師Mr.Smith,但沒有其聯系方式。請根據以下要點給你的美國
同學Tom 寫一封信: 1.感謝Tom對你英語學習的幫助;2.詢問Mr.Smith的近況并索要其聯系方式;3.邀請Tom在春節期間來中國感受中國文化。注意:1.詞數120~150;2.可適當增加細節。
在這道題中,雖然“背景介紹”部分提到這封信的主要目的是詢 問Mr.Smith的聯系方式,但是后面的“內容要點”部分給出的三個 內容要點并非完全圍繞這一目的展開,而是分別完成了“感謝”“詢 問”和“邀請”三種交際功能。因此,首段中不宜唐突指出寫信目的 僅為“索要聯系方式”。
根據“寫信目的”的不同,書信可分為感謝信、邀
請信、建議信、道歉信、自薦信、求助信等,其寫信目的的寫法各不 相同,常用句型列舉如下: 感謝信: I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to you.邀請信: I am writing to invite you to join the...(as our guest/judge).建議信: I am writing these lines to give you some suggestions.道歉信: I am writing to express my heartfelt apology to you.自薦信: I am writing this letter to apply for the job/position.求助信: I am writing to ask you to do me a favor.值得一提的是,近年來,書信命題涉及的內容日趨靈活,已經不 限于上述常見的書信類型,呈現出“形式變化不多,內容豐富多樣” 的趨勢。像2009年山東卷這種一封書信里面包含多個相互聯系不甚 緊密的內容要點的情況越來越多,大家需要重視起來,并學會靈活應 對。2.中間段
書信類作文題目一般都會列出三到四個內容要點。在這些內容要
點中,某些次要內容可以寫到開頭段和結尾段中,但關鍵的內容點必須獨立成段,稱為“中間段”。
中間段應按照“具體問題+具體分析”的邏輯思路,寫成“要點+拓展”的結構,類似于語文議論文中的“總—分”結構。如2011年全國卷I書面表達中,“求助內容”就應該寫成一個獨立的中間段落??忌上葘憽拔以趲讉€方面遇到困難需要求助”(要點),再分別描述這幾個困難(拓展)。再如2010年全國卷II書面表達中,三個內容要點可以全部放在中間段來寫。
在中間段中,陳述要點難度并不大,只需轉述題目中的“內容要點”即可。真正使考生感到困擾的是“拓展”部分~“拓展”一般有兩種情況,一種情況是題中用中文給出具體信息,需要考生用英語表達出來(如2010年全國卷II書面表達);另一種情況是題中不給出具體信息,需要考生自己去發揮(如2011年全國卷I書面表達)。
對考生來講,這兩種情況各有利弊。如果是第一種情況,題目中的中文提示往往很難直接翻譯成英語,需要考生具有“同義轉述”的能力,用自己的語言表達出題目要求的內容,如果逐字翻譯很容易鬧出一些中式英語笑話;如果是第二種情況,難點在于通過發散思維想到容易表達的內容。不論是哪種情況,多個拓展句之間都要用過渡詞相連,形成完整、連貫的信息流。
中間段是文章的主體部分,中間段的質量將直接影響考生分數的高低。上文提到書信可分成感謝信、建議信等多種類型,事實上,每種類型的書信都有其相應的中間段寫法,在沖刺備考階段,考生應精研歷年真題及范文,一一掌握每種書信類型的中間段寫法。
3.結尾段
結尾段一般為各種“客套話”??吞自挵兄x、致歉、必要的補充說明、個人愿望、期待回信等等。在交際中,合理地使用客套話可以體現考生的交際能力和個人修養。要想寫好結尾段,考生應識記一些常用的客套話寫法,例如: ? 再次表達歉意:I would like to apologize to you again for doing sth.(用于道歉信)? 希望得到某份工作:If the chance were offered to me, I would dedicate all my effort and wisdom to the job.(用于自 薦信)? 希望對方的問題得到解決:Hopefully, these suggestions will be beneficial and useful for you.(用于建議信)? 希望對方能夠施予援手:Hopefully, you will be so kind to give me a hand at your earliest convenience.(用于求助信)? 感謝對方讀信:Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.(用于各種書信)? 期盼對方回信:Sincerely looking forward to your early reply.(用于各種書信)如果題目中并未給出落款,考生需在書信的結尾寫上“Best wishes”以及“Yours truly/sincerely, Li Hua”等,以滿足書信 格式的要求。高分范文
