CongratulationLetters&CardsUnit4SocialLettersContentsIntroductionProcessCongratulationLettersCongratulationCardsIntroduction按西方国家的习俗，亲友之间在重大节日要写祝贺信或赠礼物，如圣诞节、新年、婚礼、生日等等。当亲友晋升、考试成功、毕业、乔迁新居、获得工作、新业开张以及获奖等等，也要写祝贺信。祝贺信要写的及时，得到喜讯后应立即动笔。信中要提到具体的喜事，表达出写信人的喜悦心情，并致以衷心的祝贺。总的来说，这类书信只需寥寥数语，但用词必须亲切有礼，表达出真诚的喜悦。Process1.Usethewordcongratulationsearlyinyourletter.2.Mentionthereasonwhyyoucongratulatesomeone,suchasgraduation,promotion,honor,baby.3.Tellhowhappy,pleased,proudorimpressedyouareandwhy.4.Ifnecessary,tellhowyoulearnedaboutthegoodnews.Ifyoureaditthenewspaper,enclosetheclippingorphotocopyofit.5.Closeyourletterwithwishesforthepersonorexpressionsofyourconfidence:wishthepersoncontinuedsuccessandhappiness;expressyourconfidenceinabrightfuture;assurethepersonofyourlove,affection,admiration,warmth,interest,delight,pleasureorcontinuedbusinesssupport.SummaryStyle:personalandformalContents:cause；whatandwhen；bestwishes.SamplesSample2:恭喜订婚（CongratulationsonEngagement）DearRobert,Goodnewstravelsfast.IampleasedtohearthatyouandJoanbecameengagedlastweek.Congratulations!Youtwoareindeedaperfectmatch.Bestwishesfrommeonyourengagement.SomedayIhopetomeetJoan.Pleaseremembermetoherandtellhermybestwishesforherhappiness.YoursverysincerelyDonSample3:恭喜添丁（CongratulationsonNewbornSon）DearJenny,Howhappyyoumustbetohaveabeautifulnewbabyboy.Thehappinessinmyheartisjustthesameasyours.Nowyou'veexperiencedthejoythatonlyanewmotherknowsasherbabyisputintoherarmsforthefirsttime.Iamsurethatthelittlestrangermustlooklikehisfatherandsomeyearslaterhewillbeasmartfellow.MaytheyearsaheadbefilledwithgoodhealthandgoodfortuneforyouandStevenandyourlittlewhat's-his-name.Bestwishestoallofyou!Verysincerelyyours,JoanSample4:答复祝贺（ReplytoCongratulationsonNewbornBaby）DearJerry,Ithankyouforyourcongratulationsonthebirthofourboy.Inmattersofthiskind,hopefulhusbandsareoftendoomedtodisappointment.Ihavenoticedfrequentlythatanxietyforasongenerallyresultsinadaughter.Wearelucky.NeedIsaythattheboyisafineboy?Didyoueverknowababyofeithersexthatwasnot“fine”?Motherandchild—Heavenblessthemboth!—aredoingwell,andthefatherisdelightedtobeabletomakesuchagoodreportofthem.Thelatter,proudofhisnewacquisition,remainsnow,asever,Sincerelyyours,J.B.WIGGINS.Practice（1）贵公司新店开张，谨致贺意。（2）这是你应得的奖赏，我们真为你感到自豪。（3）我祝你们俩万事如意。（4）这是你们一生中的大喜事，请接受我的衷心祝贺。Patternsp.120（1）贵公司新店开张，谨致贺意。Pleaseacceptourwarmestcongratulationsontheopeningofyournewbranch.（2）这是你应得的奖赏，我们真为你感到自豪。Itisanawardthatyourichlydeserve.Wearereallyproudofyou.（3）我祝你们俩万事如意。Iwishyouboththebestofeverythinginlife.（4）这是你们一生中的大喜事，请接受我的衷心祝贺。Letmeofferyoumywarmestcongratulationsonthehappiesteventofyourlife.CongratulationCardsNewYearCardsandChristmasCardsOnthisspecialdayIsendyouNewYear'sgreetingsandhopethatsomedaysoonweshallbetogether.NewYearCardsandChristmasCardsMaypeaceandlovebeyourgiftatChristmasandalways!NewYearCardsandChristmasCardsOntheoccasionoftheNewYear,maymywifeandIextendtoyouandyoursourwarmestgreetings,wishingyouahappyNewYear,yourcareergreatersuccessandyourfamilyhappiness.BirthdayCardsIknowIkeepyoubusy,butyoukeepmebusy,too.Whileyou'rebusytakingcareofme,I'mbusylovingyou.Haveawonderfulbirthday!Happybirthdaytothebestmomasonhaseverhad!BirthdayCardsYearbyyear,Father,youmeanmoreandmoretothosewholoveyou.Valentine’sDayThinkingofyoustillmakesmyheartbeatfaster.Iloveyou,anddon'tcarewhoknowsit!Sample1:AGreetingCardDearLarry:Christmastimeishereoncemore,soonitwillbetimeagaintobringinthenewyear.WewishthemerriestofChristmastoyouandallyourlovedones.We’dalsoliketotaketheopportunitytogiveoursincerethankstoyouforallthehelpyou’vegivenusinourEnglishstudy.Intheyearahead,wewishyouhappinessandsuccess.We’lltoasttoyouonthisspecialwhiteChristmasinChina.Yourssincerely,FangSample2:AgiftcardDearJoyce,Therosesarefromourowngarden.Wesendthemtoyouwithlove.HopeyouenjoytheirbeautyandSweetsmile.Pleasetakegoodcareofyourself.Wewishyouaquickrecovery.Bestregards,Yours,MaryKentSample3:ReplytothegiftsenderDearMary,Therosesyousentmeyesterdayarerightnearmeonthetable.Someofthemopenedthismorning.Theflowersaresolovelyandsweetthattheymakemefeelmuchbetter.Itwasreallyverythoughtfulofyou.Thankyoueversomuch.Mostappreciatively,JoyceLamb1.Ready-MadeLettersLetter1Dear_____,Onedaymeansveryspecialtome,thatis_________(month)the_______(date),yourbirthday.Withmybestwishesformanyhappyreturnsofyourbirthday.Yours,Ready-MadeLettersLetter2Dear______,WhatapleasantsurprisetohearthenewsofyourcomingmarriagetoMr./Miss___________.Congratulations!He/Sheissucha(n)___________gentleman/girlandwearesureyouhavemadeanexcellentchoicewhichwillbringyoualifetimeofhappiness.Webegyouracceptanceoftheenclosedgiftasatokenofourbestwishes.Ourbestregardsanddevoirstoyourbridegroom/bride.Yours,Letter3Dear______,Iamhappytolearnthegoodnewsofyourgraduationfrom_________withhonors.Youcertainlyhavedoneaverygoodjobinthepastfouryearsofyourstudies.________isoneofthebestuniversitiesin__________andIamsurethecampusachievementswillleadyoutoagreatfutureofyourcareer.Pleaseacceptmysincerecongratulationsandbestwishesforyourfuturesuccess.Yourssincerely,Letter4Dear_____
