Dear WangCai:

　　I am greatly honored to formally invite you to participate in Mr old fish’s wedding ceremong with Miss Micky Mouse to be held in ZhouJi Hotel on April 2009

　　If you do not have any prior appointment on April 1. We look forword to the pleasure of your company 。

　　Yours Sincerely

　　September 10th is the day that every student should bear in mind. It is the time to express our congratulations to our teachers ,who have devoted most of their time and energy to us 。

　　I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude; I am referring to that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off my bike by taxi. If it had not been for my teachers’ timely assistance in giving me first aid, I fear that the consequences might have been much serious。

　　Everyone agrees that it was his quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome。

　　I will repay my teacher’s kindness with my unselfish help to others. Although nowadays people in mounting numbers talk about the need to be unselfish, we see very few people practice what they preach. If there were more people like my teacher, this would be a much nicer place。

　　Dear Sir or Madam:

　　I am a Chinese student who wish to study at your prestigious/esteemed university . My plan is to start my course next term , and I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to provide me with certain essential information。

　　First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your university ? I alreaday had a bachelor’s degree from BeiJing Vniversity , but I wonder if there are any further academic requirements . Second , how much are the tuition fees? Although I intend to be self –supporting . I would be interested to here if there are any scholarships available for international students . Third , what is the situation as regards a commodation?

　　I look forward to your reply . and to attend your esteemed institution。

　　Yours Sincerely

　　LiMing

　　Dear Mr. President:

　　I am sophomore from the Department of Low. I’m writing the letter in purpose of complaining about the food and service in the canteen or campus。

　　To be frank, I am rather disappointed at the food quality, Price and service in the canteen. First, the dishes are scarcely well cooked and most of them taste the same . Secondly, most of the dishes there are priced so high that some students cannot even afford them. Thirdly, the service in the canteen is far from satisfying and the inside of the canteen always seem untidy。

　　To solve the problem, I suggest that another canteen be built and a mechanism of competition be introduced between the old and the new . Besides, both the canteens should be subject to the students’ supervision. Dining is an everyday issue for students. It may affect their academic performance. Therefore, I sincerely hope this letter can draw your attention to the matter and I hope the problems mentioned above be solved as soon as possible。

　　英語(yǔ)四級(jí)英文書(shū)信寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)及參考范文

　　一、 英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)

　　二、 書(shū)信作文的出題形式和寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)

　　三、 書(shū)信作文練習(xí)及其參考范文

　　書(shū)信是重要的交際工具。英文書(shū)信分為兩大類：公務(wù)信件和私人信件。公務(wù)信件是單位與單位或單位與個(gè)人之間來(lái)往的書(shū)信，可能是推薦信、求職信、入學(xué)申請(qǐng)書(shū)、邀請(qǐng)信，或詢問(wèn)、答復(fù)、反映意見(jiàn)(如投訴信)等的信件。私人信件是指親戚朋友之間的通信。這兩類書(shū)信各有自己的格式。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手寫(xiě)，也可打印;公務(wù)信件要求比較嚴(yán)格，必須遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

　　第一節(jié) 英文書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)

　　英文書(shū)信一般由以下六部分組成：信頭、信內(nèi)地址、稱呼、正文、結(jié)尾、簽名。

　　5.1.1 信頭(Heading)

　　信頭是指發(fā)信人的地址和日期，通常寫(xiě)在第一頁(yè)的右上角。行首可以齊頭寫(xiě)，也可以逐行縮進(jìn)寫(xiě)。地址的書(shū)寫(xiě)順序由小到大：門牌號(hào)、街道、城市、省(州)、郵編、國(guó)名，最后寫(xiě)發(fā)信日期。私人信件一般只寫(xiě)寄信日期即可。例如：

　　123 Tianhe Road

　　Tianhe District

　　Guangzhou 510620

　　Guangdong Province

　　P. R. C.

　　March 15, 2002

　　5.1.2 信內(nèi)地址(Inside Address)

　　信內(nèi)地址要寫(xiě)收信人的姓名和地址。在公務(wù)信件中要寫(xiě)明這一項(xiàng)，在私人信件中，這一項(xiàng)常常省略。該項(xiàng)寫(xiě)在寫(xiě)信日期下一行的左上角，格式與寄信人地址一樣。

　　5.1.3 稱呼(Salutation)

　　稱呼是對(duì)收信人的稱謂，應(yīng)與左邊線對(duì)齊，寫(xiě)在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行處。在稱呼后，英國(guó)人常用逗號(hào)，美國(guó)人則常用冒號(hào)。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公務(wù)信件中一定要寫(xiě)收信人的姓。大部分信件在稱呼前加“Dear”。如：

　　Dear Professor/Prof. Bergen:

　　Dear Dr. Johnson,

　　對(duì)不相識(shí)的人可按性別稱呼：

　　Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

　　如果不知收信人的性別則可用Dear Sir or Madam:

　　5.1.4 正文(Body of Letter)

　　正文是書(shū)信的主體。與中文信件不同的是，英文書(shū)信的正文的開(kāi)頭不是先寫(xiě)一些問(wèn)候語(yǔ)，再闡明寫(xiě)信的目的，而是直接說(shuō)明寫(xiě)信人的身份及寫(xiě)信的目的，然后提出寫(xiě)信人的情況、想法或要求，并加以必要的解釋或說(shuō)明。英文書(shū)信陳述目的時(shí)，應(yīng)該直截了當(dāng)，意思明確，層次清楚，言簡(jiǎn)意賅。

　　書(shū)信正文的第一句話或第一段，通常被稱為起首語(yǔ)。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，人們習(xí)慣用一些客套的寫(xiě)法作為書(shū)信正文的起始，即先將對(duì)方來(lái)信的日期、主題加以簡(jiǎn)單描述，以便使對(duì)方一看便知該信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次給別人寫(xiě)信，也可用開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)作必要的自我介紹，并表明自己寫(xiě)信的主要目的。

　　5.1.5 結(jié)尾禮詞(Complimentary Close)

　　公務(wù)信件的結(jié)尾禮詞包含兩部分：發(fā)信人的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)與署名。結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)寫(xiě)在簽名上面一行，第一個(gè)字母要大寫(xiě)，套語(yǔ)結(jié)尾后面要加逗號(hào)。在公務(wù)信件中，發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有：

　　Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours, Cordially yours, Yours cordially等。

　　私人信件中，發(fā)信人常用的結(jié)尾套語(yǔ)有：

　　Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。

　　5.1.6 簽名(Signature)

　　寫(xiě)信人的簽名常位于結(jié)尾禮詞正下方一二行。除非是給很熟悉的人寫(xiě)信，簽名一般須寫(xiě)出全名。簽名常常較潦草，不易辨認(rèn)，因此在簽名的正下方須打印出全名。

　　第二節(jié) 書(shū)信作文的出題形式和寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)

　　1990年到2002年1月之間的四級(jí)考試作文題中，書(shū)信作文共出現(xiàn)兩次(2001年6月和2002年1月)。下面，我們先來(lái)看看2001年6月四級(jí)考試的作文題：

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter. Suppose you are Zhang Ying. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the week-long holiday. You

　　u should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

　　1. 表示歡迎

　　2. 提出對(duì)度假安排的建議

　　3. 提醒應(yīng)注意的事項(xiàng)

　　A Letter to a Schoolmate

　　June 23, 2001

　　Dear Xiao Wang,

　　__________________________________

　　__________________________________

　　__________________________________.

　　Yours,

　　Zhang Ying

　　從上面的例子可見(jiàn)，書(shū)信作文不僅給出正文部分的內(nèi)容的提綱，而且還給出書(shū)信各部分的結(jié)構(gòu)的框架。也就是說(shuō)，我們只要考慮如何表達(dá)提綱部分的內(nèi)容，而不用考慮書(shū)信的結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　在寫(xiě)書(shū)信作文時(shí)，首先要把書(shū)信正文的提綱內(nèi)容細(xì)化，擴(kuò)展成更細(xì)的英文提綱，然后用簡(jiǎn)潔、明了、禮貌、正確和得體的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)出細(xì)化了的提綱內(nèi)容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提綱：

　　Topic: A Letter to a SchoolmateQuestion: What are the holiday arrangements and points for attention?

　　Outline:I. Extending my welcomeII. Holiday schedule1. 1st day – campus2. 2nd day – the art gallery & music hall3. 3rd day – mountain climbing4. next 3 days – other places of interest (Swan Cave, Golden Lake …)5.

　　A Letter to A Schoolmate

　　June 23, 2001

　　Dear Xiao Wang,

　　I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.

　　I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.

　　Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’

　　t forget to wear you sunglasses.

　　I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

　　Yours,

　　Zhang Ying
