书信书信是一种应用非常广泛的应用文形式之一。英文书信的种类很多，但可以把它们归为两大类，一类是私人书信（personalletters），另一类是商务书信（businessletters），例如：申请信、求职信、推荐信、证明信、感谢信等。英文书信的书写有一定的格式。一封完整的书信应包括寄信人的地址和日期；收信人的姓名和地址；称呼、正文、结尾和签名126TwoletterformsWriting—PracticalWriting26Writing—PracticalWritingDearSir/Madam,I’mwritinginresponsetoyouradvertisementforaPA/SecretarytotheManagingDirector.…AlthoughIdidnothavetotravelinmypreviousjob,Iwouldbeverywillingtodoso.Iwillbeavailableforinterviewatanytime,andlookforwardtohearingfromyou.Yoursfaithfully,WilliamJeremySmithPeaceHotelLingGongRoad1818Beijing,ChinaMailboxNo.23,GXuniversityNanning,Guangxi,China27Jan,2008缩进式26Writing—PracticalWritingDearSir/Madam,I’mwritinginresponsetoyouradvertisementforaPA/SecretarytotheManagingDirector.…AlthoughIdidnothavetotravelinmypreviousjob,Iwouldbeverywillingtodoso.Iwillbeavailableforinterviewatanytime,andlookforwardtohearingfromyou.Yoursfaithfully,WilliamJeremySmithCompactSystem96RosewallDrive,Southtown,SO34BTMailboxNo.23,GXuniversityNanning,Guangxi,China27Dec,2007齐头式书信题的写作方法：（一）信封格式：名字、信箱、地域范围由小到大，写在右下角（与我们相反）。（二）信纸格式：日期：本月份的缩写称呼（后面的标点是逗号,冒号）:DearSirorMadam,Towhomitmayconcern,正文：空4个字节或者顶格写，段与段之间空行）签名：sincerelyyours5应用文类书信写作几个“忌”：•1、太多铺垫，不直奔主题；•2、侃侃而谈，过分烦琐；•3、定位不准，语气不对；•4、定位不准，用词不对。6应用文类书信写作注意几点•1、文章既要简洁，还须要点齐全；•2、句式丰富得体，语气不亢不卑；•3、合理使用衔接词，使逻辑严密、行文流畅；•4、不忘书信基本格式，开头或结尾的礼貌用语必须有。7书信写作的五点要求：1、开门见山说意图2、咨询/建议1、2、3、3、不同内容可分段4、感谢客气不可少5、期待回信成老套8（三）开头段：1、告知对方你的身份（假如对方不认识你）DearSir/Mr.Smith,Iwasastudentatyourcollege,enrolledinPhilosophyDepartment./Iama…atyour…/Iama…atyourcollege,enrolledinthe…course./Mynameis…,Iam…9•2、问候收信人（假如他/她是你的朋友）DearTom,Hello/Hi.Howareyou?/Ihopeeverythingisfine./Howarethingsgoingwithyou?/Howareyougettingonin/gettingalongwith…..?10•3.解释写信的原因（1）致谢：ThankyouforyourletteraboutstudyinginCanada./IamwritingtotellyouhowgratefulIamfor…/Iwouldliketothankyoumostsincerelyfor…11（2）抱怨：Iamwritingtocomplainaboutthepoorserviceatyourdining-room./Iwishtomakeacomplaintabout…/Iamwritingtodrawyourattentionto….12（3）致歉：IamwritingtoyoubecauseIamunableto…./Iamterriblysorrythat…./Iwouldliketoexpressmyapologiesfornotbeingableto….134）询问：Iwouldliketoobtain/request/seek/inquiresomeinformationabout…/Iamwritingtoaskifyoucandomeafavor./Iwouldlikesomedetailedinformationon/about….14（四）结尾段：1、发出请求（1）Pleasegivethismatteryourimmediateattention.（2）Iwouldverymuchappreciateitif……assoonaspossible.152、提供帮助（1）Ihopethese……willbehelpful,andpleasefeelfreetocontactmeformoreinformation.（2）……willbetakingresponsibilityforyouandifyoushouldneedanyassistance,she/hewillbepleasedtohelpyou163、再次表示歉意或感激（1）Thankyouforyourkindassistance.（2）Pleaseacceptmyheartfeltthanksanddeepestgratitude,nowandalways.（3）IamsorrythatIcannot……,andtrustthatyouwillunderstand.（4）Inaddition,letmeapologizeforanyinconvenienceImayhavecaused.（5）Onceagain,Iamsorryforanyinconveniencecaused.174、期盼回信：（1）Ilookforwardtoyourpromptresponse.（2）Lookingforwardtoapromptreply,（3）Iexpecttohearfromyouverysoon.（4）Ihopetoreceiveyourreplyshortly.181.给JohnBrown先生写一封短信．内容：已收到他３月１２日的来信．请他于本月２５来我公司，讨论合作细节．请他将航班告诉你．你公司的李小姐将去机场接他．24thMarch,2000DearMr.JohnBrown,Thankyouverymuchforyourletterdated12thMarch.Couldyoucomeovertomycompanysothatwecandiscussthedetailsofourcooperation?Ifyes,pleaseinformmeofyourflight.IhavearrangedforMissLiofmycompanytomeetyouattheairport.Wishyouapleasantjourney.Yourssincerely,WangDeming19•2.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteaLetterofApology.Youshouldwriteatleast120wordsfollowingtheoutlinegivenbelowinChinese:•1.表达自己对晚交论文一事的歉意。•2.说明未能按时交论文的原因。•3.表示自己将尽快把论文补交上并表示以后将按时交作业。••这是一封道歉信，写的时候要遵循道歉信的一般模式：开篇直奔主题，然后说明原因，最后提出可能的补救措施。第一段，对晚交论文及对此造成的后果表示歉意；第二段，说明理由（可信的理由，而不是随便应付老师的借口）；第三段，表示尽快完成论文。20【范文】•ALetterofApology•24thOct.,2008•DearMr.Wang,•①Iamwritingtoapologizeformylatehomework.Thepaperwhichyou②assignedtouslastMondaywas③duethisFriday,buttomyregret,Ihaven’tevenstartedityet.Ifeelreallysorryfornothandinginthepaperontimeand④fortheinconvenienceitwouldbringtoyou.•IcaughtaseriouscoldlastweekandthedoctoraskedmetostayinbedforaweeksinceIwasveryweakandtheweatherwasverycoldthesedays.Therefore,Icouldn’tgotothelibrarytogetthenecessary①referentialinformationwhichwasneededformypaper.Asaresultofthis,Ihavenotstartedwritingthepaperyetandcouldnothanditinontime.•FortunatelyIhavefinallyfullyrecovered.IwillfinishthepaperassoonasIcanand①trymybesttohandinhomeworkontimeinthefuture.••Sincerelyyours,•LiMing21•3.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteaLetter.Youshouldwriteatleast•120wordsfollowingtheoutlinegivenbelowinChinese:•给小何写信感谢他接待你在云南旅游，并且回忆美好的旅行经历，同时邀请小何来你的家乡做客●审题概述●•这是一封感谢信，一般要表明感谢的事由。本题可分三部分：感谢小何在云南的接待；回忆在云南的经历；邀请小何来做客。•22范文•June17th,2006•DearXiaoHe,•ThankyousomuchforhavinginvitedmeforthetourofYunnan,yourhomeprovince.Ihadafantastictimewithyouandyourfamily.Yourgreathospitalitywillbeunforgettablethroughoutmylife.•WhenIthinkofthosegorgeous豪华的placesofscenicbeautyyoushowedmearound,Icouldn’tbemoredelighted.AndthepineapplepieGrandmapreparedformeisoutofthisworld（出色的，极好的）.Ihadneverhadsodeliciousfood!Indeed,Iamstillmissingyoursnug舒适、温暖的log-cabin原木小木屋,smallandcozy,whichwasturne
