英语 第18讲 如何写书信类作文 一、魔法导航 高考书信写作的关键在于对书信主体的处理。 1.称呼 收信人称呼从信左边开始写,一般以 “Dear...”或 “My dear...”开头,后面常 用逗号。 2.正文 ——信来信往,包罗万象 正文是书信的主体,它的质量的高低将直接决定作文得分的高低,因此在书信 的训练和写作中对其要精雕细刻,力求做到层次清晰、要点齐全、过渡自 然、行文流畅和文笔优美。若是回信则应根据实际需要告诉对方自己何时收 到信件、自己的感受或自己的近况,而后切入正文。正文结束时,常会另起一 行,写上一些表示祝福或期待的话语,如:Best wishes!/Looking forward to your early reply./Good luck!等。 3.结尾敬语 写信人表示自己对收信人的谦称,常用表达有Yours,Yours sincerely,Yours truly 或Yours faithfully。 电子邮件的写作与书信基本相同,在此处不再赘述。 二、常用句式
第一、常用开头一句通: 1.邀请信:It is a pleasure for me to invite you on behalf of...to.../We would like to invite...to.../We are more than glad to invite you to... 2.申请信:My name is...I would like to work as.../apply for... 3.祝贺信:We are very happy to know that you have successfully...Allow me/us to give my/our most sincere congratulations on.../I was delighted to hear/receive the news that... 4.投诉或抱怨信:I'm writing to tell you something about...,which I think is not satisfying. 5.慰问信:We are very sorry to learn of/learn that.../I am very sorry to hear of your present situation that... 6.建议信:I'm glad to receive your letter asking for advice on how to...Here are some tips for you. 7.询问信:I'm writing to ask whether you are able to do me a favor. 8.欢迎信:Glad to hear from you and you're welcome to... 9.回信:Thank you for your letter of.../Thanks so much for your letter,which ar- rived.../I am writing to you to tell you about.../I'm glad to receive your letter.It's a pleasure for me to tell you my plan of... 10.其他:Now I am so excited that I can't wait to share with you.../I would also like to know if you can.../I'm very excited to learn that.../It is indeed a wonderful idea to... 第二、常用结尾典例秀: 1.鼓励型: How delighted I am now!

Dear Jack,
Thank you for your letter asking about the club activities in our school.These clubs are set up by the Students' Union and they are intended for students from Grade Two and Grade Three, open after 3 o'clock pm on Tuesday afternoon. The club activities, aiming to offer students more opportunities to show their dif- ferent talents, benefit us a lot. Taking part in club activities can help us to make new friends, expand our circle, and develop interpersonal skills. At the same time, these activities can help us to develop self-confidence and communicate with each other more easily. Besides, we have developed different skills and many in- terests, which enrich our lives. 答案 One possible version:
In my opinion, I acquire more knowledge in an interesting way. Meanwhile, I bring myself more relaxation after hard study, which reduces my tiredness. Yours, Li Hua
