作文指导
应用文(例:书信类)
【体裁导航】
英文书信一般分为商业信函(Business Letters)和私人书信(Personal Letters)两种,而高考书面表达一般都是要求写私人书信。英文书信格式与中文书信格式有许多不同,它包括五部分,即信头、称呼、正文、结束语和签名,具体如下:
1.信头:寄信人的地址和写信日期,写在信的右上角。注意英语中地名的写法与中文不同,要从小到大;日期的写法也与中文不同,不是写在签名之下,而是写在寄信人的地址之下。习惯上人们采用美式英语表达,即月、日、年,月、日与年之间用逗号隔开,月份尽量不要缩写,如June 8,2007;而英式英语表达则为日、月、年,中间不用逗号隔开,如8 June 2007。
2.称呼:自成一行,顶格写。称呼语常用:Dear Sir/Madam/Manager/Editor/friends/Bob,称呼之后一般用逗号。
3.正文:信件的主体部分即为信的正文。正文写在称呼的下一行,与Dear后第一个单词对齐。正文通常包括三部分,即开头、目的和结尾。正文的开头语常用:Thank you for your last letter asking about...;I’m glad to...。正文的结尾语是正文的一部分,常常另起一行,常用的结尾有:I’m looking forward to your reply;Thanks and all the best;Best wishes;Wishing you a pleasant journey。
4.结束语:结束语与正文的结尾语不一样,它要写在结尾语的下一行,位于书信的右下角,后面用逗号。常用的结束语有:Yours sincerely/faithfully/truly;Sincerely/Truly yours;Yours等。
5.签名:签名写在结束语的下一行,与结束语对齐,也就是签上写信人的名字。
一封正规的私人书信格式如下:
Dear David,
I’ve learned it from the Internet that you want to make a Chinese friend so as to learn the Chinese language and culture.

应用文(例:书信类)
【体裁导航】
英文书信一般分为商业信函(Business Letters)和私人书信(Personal Letters)两种,而高考书面表达一般都是要求写私人书信。英文书信格式与中文书信格式有许多不同,它包括五部分,即信头、称呼、正文、结束语和签名,具体如下:
1.信头:寄信人的地址和写信日期,写在信的右上角。注意英语中地名的写法与中文不同,要从小到大;日期的写法也与中文不同,不是写在签名之下,而是写在寄信人的地址之下。习惯上人们采用美式英语表达,即月、日、年,月、日与年之间用逗号隔开,月份尽量不要缩写,如June 8,2007;而英式英语表达则为日、月、年,中间不用逗号隔开,如8 June 2007。
2.称呼:自成一行,顶格写。称呼语常用:Dear Sir/Madam/Manager/Editor/friends/Bob,称呼之后一般用逗号。
3.正文:信件的主体部分即为信的正文。正文写在称呼的下一行,与Dear后第一个单词对齐。正文通常包括三部分,即开头、目的和结尾。正文的开头语常用:Thank you for your last letter asking about...;I’m glad to...。正文的结尾语是正文的一部分,常常另起一行,常用的结尾有:I’m looking forward to your reply;Thanks and all the best;Best wishes;Wishing you a pleasant journey。
4.结束语:结束语与正文的结尾语不一样,它要写在结尾语的下一行,位于书信的右下角,后面用逗号。常用的结束语有:Yours sincerely/faithfully/truly;Sincerely/Truly yours;Yours等。
5.签名:签名写在结束语的下一行,与结束语对齐,也就是签上写信人的名字。
一封正规的私人书信格式如下:
Dear David,
