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(zhǎng)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(jiǎn)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(zhǎng)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(guó)外的信,還要加上國(guó)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(jiǎn)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(zhǎng)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(guó)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(jiǎn)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(guó)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(guó)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(guó)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(jiǎn)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。

考研英語應(yīng)用文(小作文)題型解析(五)
感謝信(Letter of Thanks)
感謝信的主要目的是向收信人表明感激之情,其寫作要點(diǎn)如下:
(1)首先要表明寫作意圖,向?qū)Ψ奖硎菊\(chéng)摯的謝意;
(2)簡(jiǎn)要說明感謝的原因,語言要誠(chéng)摯;
(3)官方感謝信須行文得體,非官方感謝信較隨意;
(4)結(jié)尾再次表明感激之情。

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(zhǎng)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(jiǎn)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(zhǎng)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(guó)外的信,還要加上國(guó)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(jiǎn)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。

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(guó)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(jiǎn)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(guó)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(guó)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(guó)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(jiǎn)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:

考研英語小作文指導(dǎo):破解應(yīng)用文寫作
(一)私人和公務(wù)信函
信函(Letter)是用以交涉事務(wù)、增進(jìn)了解、聯(lián)絡(luò)友誼、交流思想的重要工具。英語信函主要包括私人信函(Personal Letters)和公務(wù)信函(Business Letters)兩大類。公務(wù)信函,一般用來處理或討論重要事務(wù),包括邀請(qǐng)信(Invitation Letter)、感謝信(Thankyou Letter)、道歉信(Letter of Apologies)、祝賀信(Letter of Congratulations)等。按照一般的格式英語信函主要由六個(gè)部分組成:信頭、信內(nèi)地址、稱呼、正文、結(jié)句、簽名;有的信函還包括附言和附件部分(常用P.S.表示)。信頭(Heading)
信頭由發(fā)信人地址和發(fā)信日期兩部分組成,通常寫在第一頁的右上角。行首可以縮進(jìn)去寫,也可以齊頭寫;行尾可用也可不用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。值得注意的是,英語書信中的地址與中文正好相反,應(yīng)該由小到大,先寫門牌號(hào)碼、街名,再寫城市名、州(省)名、郵編、最后再寫國(guó)名。如: No.256, Chaoyang Street Beijing, 100069, China 日期的寫法英、美兩種格式都可以,英國(guó)順序?yàn)椤叭铡⒃隆⒛辍保绹?guó)順序則為“月、日、年”,如: 27 Sep., 2006(英)Sep.27, 2006(美)信內(nèi)地址(Inside Address)
包括收信人的姓名和地址,一般置于信紙的左上角。在私人信函中,這一部分經(jīng)常省略。其格式和發(fā)信人的姓名、地址一樣。稱呼(Salutation)
稱呼位于收信人地址之下的一至二行,頂格寫起,自成一行。在私人信函中后面用逗號(hào),在公務(wù)信函中則用冒號(hào)。
正文(The Body of the Letter)
信件的主要內(nèi)容。
結(jié)句(Complimentary Closure)
類似于中文中的“此致”“敬禮”這類的話,主要是一些套語。一般是正文結(jié)束隔兩行另起,獨(dú)立成行,位于信紙的右角,也可以略居中右方。簽名
寫信人的名字一般簽在結(jié)尾語下面一至二行處。在私人信函中只需親筆簽名就可以了,而在公務(wù)信函中,發(fā)信人的親筆簽名應(yīng)該寫在結(jié)尾套語和打印的姓名之間。
以上幾點(diǎn)是英語信函的共同特征。為了考生更好地掌握英語信函的寫法,下面幾部分將詳細(xì)講解私人信函和公務(wù)信函的具體寫法,并為考生提供了經(jīng)典句型和范文。
一、私人信函 1.寫作攻略
私人信函是一個(gè)寬泛的概念,它既可以指公務(wù)信函以外的一切信函,也可以指與家人或朋友之間互通信息、感情這一特定類型的信件。這里我們指后者。
私人信函與其他形式的信函最根本的區(qū)別在于,私人信函純粹是出于自愿,就像是同遠(yuǎn)方的親友聊家常一樣。其內(nèi)容可以是簡(jiǎn)短的幾句問候、通報(bào)近期的情況、抒發(fā)對(duì)親友的想念等等。私人信函的格式和其他信函基本一致,不過與其他信函相比,稍微隨便一些。
地址一般寫在信紙的右上角,可用斜列式也可用齊頭式,如果是收信人熟悉的地址也可以省略不寫,但日期是不能省略的。稱呼一般視與收信人的關(guān)系而定,一般來說應(yīng)用比較親近的稱呼。正文部分盡量有感而發(fā),寫作時(shí)要十分注重感情的真摯。如果對(duì)方在上次的信中提出過什么問題,應(yīng)該先回答,同時(shí)也可以問對(duì)方一些問題,以表示對(duì)他/她的關(guān)切。私人信函的基本寫作結(jié)構(gòu)為“問候及表達(dá)寫信人的思念之情——詢問收信人的近況——向收信人講述自己的情況——以提議、建議或請(qǐng)求結(jié)尾”。在寫給私人信函中可以常用的結(jié)尾套語如 “Yours,” “ With love,” “ With best wishes” “Your affectionately,” “Yours sincerely,”等等。當(dāng)然在實(shí)際寫作中,要仔細(xì)審題,弄清楚題目給定的情景,根據(jù)要求進(jìn)行寫作。
2.必背模版句式
How time flies!And its five months since you left.Do you know how we have been missing you lately? 光陰似箭!一晃我們分別已經(jīng)5個(gè)月了。你知道我們最近有多想念你嗎?
Thanks for your letter on June 1st.Im now answering your letter and telling you my opinion.感謝你6月1日的來信。我現(xiàn)在給你回信,說說我的看法。
You have no idea how excited I was when I received your letter!I was nearly crazy!你一定想不到收到你的來信我是多么地激動(dòng)!我?guī)缀醵伎殳偭耍?/p>
It is hard to believe two years have passed since I left Beijing for Japan.How are you going on these days? 真沒想到轉(zhuǎn)眼間我離開北京來日本已有兩年了。你最近怎么樣?
I am delighted to hear you will be coming to Beijing and will be able to visit my family.聽說你要來北京,還要來我家玩我非常高興。I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.我期待著能夠很快收到你的回信。
Be sure to write soon.I am eager to hear from you.記得要早點(diǎn)回信,我很想早點(diǎn)收到你的來信。
3、必背經(jīng)典范文 范文1 Aug.12, 2006 Dear Mum and Dad,I am sorry for not having written to you for such a long time.I am afraid you must think I have forgotten you and the whole family.Actually I really miss you, but I have been busy preparing my exam these days.And now I have passed the exam and feel very relaxed as if a heavy burden has been removed.I cant help waiting to write to you and so here I am.What about Dads health? Is he still coughing at night? I have been worrying about it.The last day I saw an advertisement on a newspaper introducing a new kind of syrup which is said to have magic effect on coughing.I have bought one bottle and sent it back home by post.Have you received it? What about the effect? Please write to me soon, I am eager to hear from you.Your daughter,Li Hua 譯文
親愛的爸爸媽媽:
我為這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沒有給你們寫信而感到抱歉,恐怕你們都認(rèn)為我把你們和家人都忘了吧。其實(shí)我真的非常想念你們,但這些日子我在忙著準(zhǔn)備考試。現(xiàn)在考試通過了,我感覺如釋重負(fù),迫不及待地要提筆給你們寫信。
爸爸的身體怎么樣?晚上還咳嗽嗎?我一直非常擔(dān)心。前幾天我在報(bào)紙上看到一則廣告,其中介紹了的那種咳嗽藥,據(jù)說有奇效。我已經(jīng)買了一瓶寄回去了。你們收到了嗎?效果怎么樣?

近日從陳先生的來信得知你又回到大學(xué)上學(xué)了,我非常高興。希望你生活和學(xué)習(xí)都很滿意。現(xiàn)另包寄上最近出版的《時(shí)代》雜志。相信你看后一定會(huì)覺得有意思,并對(duì)你的英語學(xué)習(xí)有幫助的。
期盼盡快收到你的回信。

二、公務(wù)信函
公務(wù)信函是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中應(yīng)用最廣的一類,主要包括邀請(qǐng)信、感謝信、道歉信、祝賀信、介紹信、申請(qǐng)信、建議信、投訴信、咨詢信等共九大類,下面將分別進(jìn)行介紹。
(一)邀請(qǐng)信 1.寫作攻略
邀請(qǐng)信是寫信人對(duì)收信人的一種盛情邀約,一般分為正式的和非正式的兩種。格式與其他信函相同。具體寫作步驟:
首段:說明與收信人的相關(guān)性與寫作意圖。
主體段落:具體交代情景:包括受邀請(qǐng)的人、邀請(qǐng)朋友要干什么、地點(diǎn)以及具體的時(shí)間等內(nèi)容。并且強(qiáng)調(diào)為什么邀請(qǐng)收信人而不是別的朋友。結(jié)尾段:表示期待朋友的回復(fù)。
就本質(zhì)而言正式與非正式的邀請(qǐng)信并沒有什么區(qū)別,只是正式的邀請(qǐng)信比較注意文采,而且往往需要表現(xiàn)出更大的熱誠(chéng)。邀請(qǐng)信一般都要求考生邀約朋友參加特殊聚會(huì),共度假期,或者訪問自己的家鄉(xiāng)等, 考生可以采用半正式文體。2.必背模版句式

I think it would be a great idea if you could participate in...我想如果你能參加??將是一個(gè)非常好的主意。I wonder if you can come...我在想你是否能來參加??
How would you like to join us in...? 你想不想來參加我們的???
Would you please drop me a line to let me know if you can come to...? 你可以打電話來告訴我你能否來???

We would be looking forward to your coming with great pleasure.我們高興地期待著你的到來。
I would like to meet you there and please let me know your decision soon.我希望能在那見到你,請(qǐng)?jiān)琰c(diǎn)讓我知道你的決定。3.必背經(jīng)典范文 Dear Jane,I am going to have a dinner party at my house on July 14, 2006(Friday)to celebrate my mothers 60yearold birthday.It is an important occasion for our family, and as you are a close friend of us, my parents and I do hope you can come and share our joy.The party will start at seven oclock in the evening.There will be a small musical soiree, at which a band will perform some popular and classical songs at first.At around eight oclock, we will start our dinner, during which we can talk and laugh together.And then all the friends will take some photos together.I know you have been busy these days, but I do hope you can make it, my family and I look forward to the pleasure of your company.Yours affectionately,Gao Hui 譯文 親愛的簡(jiǎn):

我知道你最近很忙,但我真的希望你能來,我們?nèi)叶荚谄诖愕墓馀R。
你的老朋友:高慧
(二)感謝信 1.寫作攻略
感謝信是對(duì)收信人的某一行為表示感謝。感謝信的使用頻率非常高,在收到別人的邀請(qǐng)時(shí),受到別人的表揚(yáng)時(shí),反正只要對(duì)方幫助過你,不管大小都應(yīng)該表示感謝。感謝信帶有濃厚的感情濃厚,所表達(dá)的感情必須真摯。具體寫作步驟:
首段:表明寫作意圖,讓對(duì)方感受到你的謝意是發(fā)自內(nèi)心的。
主體段落:寫明感謝的原因,要展開說明,可以說具體的理由也可以說接受幫助的具體事例。比如說你在一家旅館住了一段時(shí)間,在那里度過了一段美好的時(shí)光,你就可以寫信表示感謝。你可以從旅館的服務(wù)、客房環(huán)境、飲食衛(wèi)生等方面來說明感謝的理由。這樣展開就使文章顯得充實(shí)豐滿,也符合正常交際的習(xí)慣。結(jié)尾段:再次表示感謝。2.必背模版句型
I am writing to express my thanks for...我寫這封信是為了表達(dá)我對(duì)??的謝意。

Nothing will be able to erase our wonderful memories, we will nurture them forever.沒什么能抹掉我們美好的記憶,我們會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)銘刻在心。Thanks again for your kind help.對(duì)你的幫助再次表示感謝。
My true gratitude is beyond any words description.任何語言都不能表達(dá)我的真摯謝意。
Please accept my thanks, now and always.請(qǐng)永遠(yuǎn)記住我的謝意。
Your help is very much appreciated by each one of us.我們每個(gè)人都非常感謝你。3.必背經(jīng)典范文 Dear staff,I am writing to show my sincere gratitude for all of you.Now that I am home and on my own again I feel extremely happy.During the time I lived at the Rehabilitation center and was under your tender care, I promised myself I would write a letter of thanks as soon as I was able.Abundant thanks to each one of you for your patience, expertise and genuine concern.It was you who helped me believe in myself and gave me assurance that I could walk again.I would never forget each word you said to me and the things you have done to me.Forgive me for the times I lashed out at you in frustration and thank you for understanding and remaining firm with me.Never stop your beautiful way of working with people.Your help really means a lot to me and anyone who in trouble as well.Affectionately,Wang Fang 譯文

繼續(xù)你們美麗的事業(yè)吧。你們的幫助對(duì)于我和其他需要幫助的人來說有著非常重要的意義。你們的朋友: 王芳
(三)道歉信 1.寫作攻略
道歉信主要是向收信人表明歉意,請(qǐng)求對(duì)方諒解自己的過失。寫道歉信時(shí)要明確不是找借口為自己辯護(hù),而是承認(rèn)自己的過錯(cuò)并提出彌補(bǔ)過錯(cuò)的具體建議和方法。此類信件的關(guān)鍵是用詞準(zhǔn)確,表達(dá)真誠(chéng)。具體寫作步驟:
首段:重述自己做錯(cuò)的事,表示歉意。
主體段落:說明道歉的具體原因,應(yīng)盡量詳細(xì)描述做錯(cuò)事的經(jīng)過。寫信時(shí)應(yīng)該注意在申述理由時(shí)要照顧讀信人的感受,切忌強(qiáng)詞奪理。
結(jié)尾段:再次表明承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤的態(tài)度,請(qǐng)求收信人的諒解。也可以提出補(bǔ)救的辦法。2.必背模版句型
