第一篇:如何写雅思写作中的邀请信?
今天上海环球雅思陈斌老师为大家带来的是雅思写作中邀请信的解析。雅思写作中如何写英语邀请信,英文邀请信怎么写比较合适、地道,一直是考生犯愁的事情。下面就一起来看看陈斌老师怎么说吧~
邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规,但也是很考究。形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式(formal correspondence),亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式(informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。
书写时应注意:
邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚,不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。
例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”
这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确,所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”
邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheon
Dear [Zhang Ying]:
Will you come to luncheon on [Friday, May the fifth], at [twelve o’clock]?
My niece [Mary] is visiting us and I think you will enjoy meeting her.She is a charming, very pretty girl „ and very good company![John and Jane] will be here, and perhaps we can [give a dance] after luncheon.Do say you’ll come!
Affectionately yours,Li Ming
亲爱的[张营]:
您能在[5月5日星期五中午12点钟] 来吃午饭吗?
我侄女[玛丽]正在我们家中作客,我想您会乐于见到她的。她是个漂亮而聪明的女孩子,„„同她在一起是很使人高兴的![约翰和简]也到这里来,也许在饭后我们能[开个舞会],说好,一定得来呀!

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。

邀 请 信
1.Introduction 邀请信在日常生活和外事活动中使用广泛,一般分为两种:一种为正式邀请(invitation card);因为其结构非一般信函,在此不作讲述。本章只讲非正式请帖,即邀请信(letters of invitation)。
邀请信形式上不如请帖那样正规,但也很考究。书写时应注意一下两点:(1)邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚,不能让收信人有任何的疑虑。例如 “ I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner next Monday” 这句话中指的是哪个星期并不明确,所以要加上具体日期,“I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner next Monday, May the fifth at 6 o’clock.P.m., at the Locus Hotel”。
(2)邀请信的特点是简短热情,形式较为灵活,一般为两小段,将意思表达清楚即可。在盛大的场合,请帖应提前三星期发出,一般场合书写邀请信,应在预定时间的前几天发出,一边收信人及早考虑和安排。收到请帖或信后,通常应立即答复,表明接受谢绝,以示礼貌。
2.Commonly Used Sentences 1)I’d like you to come to our dinner this evening.2)Request the pleasure of … 恭请…
3)The favor of a reply is requested.敬赐复函。
4)May I have the honor of your company at dinner? 敬备菲酌,恭请光临。5)Thank you for inviting us to dinner.6)We are delighted to accept your invitation.7)I wish I could be there, but I expect to be away on vacation at that time.8)Please reply to Thirty-five Park Avenue.9)We’ll be awaiting your arrival on the twelfth.10)I hope you are not too busy to come期望你在百忙中光临。11)I’m looking forward to seeing you.12)We thought it would be pleasant to have some of our friends to celebrate it.13)The reception will be held in …, on…招待会定于……在……举行。14)We sincerely hope you can attend.15)We have decided to have a party in honor of the occasion.为此我们决定举行一次晚会。
16)Please let me know as soon as possible if you can come and tell me when you will be able to do so.如能来的话,早日告我,何时为宜。17)Please confirm your participation at your earliest convenience.是否参加,请早日告之。

第四篇:雅思写作中如何表达观点
今天上海环球雅思老师窦攀美为大家带来了雅思写作中如何表达观点的讲解。
Expressing Thoughts and Opinions in Task-2 Essays
在雅思议论文中经常被Native Speakers 用来表达看法与立场的英式短语&句型
在准备雅思考试的学习者们往往更加重视对于单个单词(individual words)的积累与使用,但是普遍并不重视对英语短语(phrases), 句型(sentence patterns)和固定搭配(collocations)的掌握与探究。以下短语和句型的表达会给考生的议论文带来两点的一笔。
lHave mixed views on…(人们)各持不同的看法
例句:It has around fifteen years since the Internet was first introduced into British households but people still have mixed views on whether it is a positive or negative influence on society.它在雅思考试中的常见反义短语和句型
Reach consensus on …(人们)对某事达成一致意见
例句:It will be difficult for people to reach a consensus on this issue.lbe a highly charged issue 是一个引起激辩的话题
Euthanasia(安乐死)is a highly charged issue in many European countries.它在雅思考试中的常见反义短语和句型
be a well-established fact(某事)是为人们所共知的事实
例句:It is a well-established fact that very young children learn best by rote.lThe tide of opinion is now running steadily against …目前的观点普遍倾向于反对… 例句: The tide of opinion is now running steadily against the new traffic law.它在雅思考试中的常见近义词短语和句型
The majority of people oppose…多数人反对…
例句:The majority of people oppose the proposed tax reform.lIt stands to reason that…(某现象)是符合常理的例句:It stands to reason that a child who is constantly criticized will grow up to have no self-confidence.它在雅思考试中的常见近义词短语和句型
The concerns that …are well-justified.对于某事的担心是完全合理的例句:The concerns that the new law will curtail NGO activities are well-justified.
第五篇:雅思写作
翻开剑桥系列教材后面考官所给的范文评析,大家会发现考官的评分标准一般都从如下四个方面展开:内容(content)、组织结构(organization)、词汇(vocabulary)和句式(sentence structure)。同时,据笔者的长期观察,高分雅思作文无一例外地在这四方面有好的演绎才能获得考官亲睐。“好的作文大都是相似的,而不幸的作文却各有各的不幸。”下面,笔者将从以上四方面一一阐述烤鸭们写作时存在的盲点所在并提出相应的建议。
一、内容(content):切中主题,自圆其说
盲点1:无话可说
这类考生在看到题目时,最初的感觉是脑袋中一片空白。雅思作文题材广泛,包括科技、教育、健康、环保、犯罪、文化传统、时尚、体育运动、动物保护等。而且由于文化差异以及学习工作的缘故,日常生活中考生极少接触到这类话题,更不用说对它有什么想法了。
盲点1击破:四多原则
多看范文;多关注时事,观察生活;多与人交流;多记录自己的想法。比较极端的做法是花三天三夜沉浸在范文书当中,分领域熟悉雅思考题及其观点。当感觉自己脑袋中涌现出无数ideas时,关上书,写出自己能够想出来的各个领域的观点,如果某个领 域发生短路,翻开书重新阅读,直至能够写出来为止。
盲点2:千言万语
这类考生往往见多识广,看到话题时感到倚马千言。可是由于词汇量和逻辑方面有所欠缺。往往面临“满腹的心里话不知怎么说”的尴尬。
盲点2击破:词以类记原则
此类考生要分领域积累雅思写作词汇,如在写肥胖问题时,考生需要积累(obese, overweight, coronary heart disease, stroke, heredity, inheritance, junk food, carnivorous, excessive drinking and smoking, couch potato, diabetes, a balanced diet, vegetarian等。)
盲点3:标新立异
这类考生认为论点或论据越新颖越好,力求与众不同。
盲点3击破:自圆其说原则
雅思考试毕竟是语言能力测试,词汇、语法和句式才是测试重点。况且,考官阅卷数载,见多识广,你的观点很有可能已经无法构成他的兴奋点,所以我们讲究论点论据
言之有理,能够自圆其说即可。
盲点4:真情流露
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,唯一的不同便是他们英文表达畅通无阻,写作时有“黄河之水,延绵不绝”之势。但兴奋之时,有些忘乎所以,与主题渐行渐远。
盲点4击破:切中主题原则
这类考生必须建立自己的一套逻辑框架,并严格执行。如在写argumentation类题型时,全文四段:“第一段为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段为己方观点论证段;第三段为让步段;第四段总结段。切忌任何与主题无关或相悖的鸡肋出现。
二、组织结构(organization):起承转合,行云流水
盲点1:天马行空
这类考生和“千言万语”型考生神似,写作时缺乏自己的一套写作框架。有时,尽管有全文框架,段落框架又缺失,通常表现为主体段内部的分论点或分论据存在逻辑上的重复或冲突。
盲点1击破:起承转合原则
除了段落之间应存在“第一段(起)为背景介绍和提出论点段;第二段(承)为己方观点论证段;第三段(转)为让步段;第四段(合)总结段。”的逻辑框架之外,段落内部每一句也需要有这样的逻辑框架来约束,如让步段中:“some people may argue that „(起);because they maintain that „。(承);However ,they are oversimplifying the situation, in fact „.。(转);Therefore , I believe „。(合)
盲点2:单句游离
这类烤鸭写出来的句子与句子之间没有连接词,有时就算有,逻辑连词也使用错误。或者是标点不注意。最常见使用错误诸如on the other hand。它连接的是转折,却无数次被误解成递进。
盲点2击破:行云流水原则
考生应准确记忆并正确使用各种逻辑关系词,力求做到行云流水,常见的逻辑连词有:
因果关系:
因:As since due to owning to
果:hence thus therefore as a consequence as a result
表目的:thereby
举例关系:Take for example, For instance, To illustrate, As an apt illustration ,对比关系:While ,whilst, whereas, by contrast。
让步关系:despite ,in spite of , not with standing , nonetheless, even though,Provided that , if
三、词汇(vocabulary):同义改写,百花齐放
盲点1 : 遭遇生词
大部分考生苦恼的地方莫过于此,写作过程中无数次由于生词的关系而短路。
盲点1击破:同义改写原则
其实考生对不认识的词完全可以paraphrase,如望子成龙,望女成凤完全可以写成:All parents expect their children to have a promising further。
注意:对于各个领域内的专有名词我们鼓励大家履行词以类记原则,毕竟只有语言水平较高的烤鸭才可能做到用简单的词汇解释难词。如有同学在解释寄生虫(parasite)在他笔下成了” something that is very tiny and lives on my skin and sucks my blood without doing any work”!这样的paraphrase 只能让考官啼笑皆非。
盲点2:同义重现
如在discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the internet时,有考生作文中曾出现了不下10次的advantages and disadvantages。这会让考官出现极严重的审美疲劳,分数自然不高。
盲点2击破: 百花齐放原则
其实考生在平时的习作中应注意近义词、反义词、衍生词的积累,并不断练习。如上面的advantages的同义词为benefits gains merits pros等;disadvantages的同义词有downsides ,weakness, drawbacks cons等。
盲点3:大词连篇
很多考生认为大词生僻词汇用得越多,得分就越高。
盲点3击破:整体协调原则
看到剑桥系列教材大家会发现,考官给出的范文大词生词寥寥可数,真正有说服力的是你用的词能够准确无误的表达你的思想。试想一个语法错误连篇的考生盲目地使用各种生僻词汇来堆砌文章,这无疑给考官造成一种“暴发户”般的强烈视觉冲击,最后只能适得其反。所以,用词上我们讲究与内容以及句式结构整体协调的原则。
三、句式(sentence structure):长短结合,错落有致
盲点1:长篇累牍
和用词上的大词连篇一样,部分考生以能使用各种复杂的长难句为荣。
盲点1击破:长短结合原则
事实上,如果大家有看剑桥后面的范文的话,会发现长难句并不象绝大多数同学想象得那般高深。通常的情况是长短句结合使用,而且论点通常用短句,而论据则长句居多。
盲点2:短小精悍
和长篇累牍型考生相反的是短小精悍型考生,为了保险起见,这类考生作文中充满了简单的is/am/are的主系表和主谓宾句型。
盲点2击破:灵活多变原则
这类考生如果能稍稍变得aggressive一些,他们将是考场上最大的“黑马”。如以Parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability这个简单句为例,通过强调句型的包装我们得到:
It is children’s score that parents and teachers often link to their academic ability rather than other qualifications。
通过倒装句的包装我们可以得到:
So important is children’s score that parents and teachers often link them to children’s academic ability。
通过插入语的包装我们可以得到:
Scores , as is known to everyone ,are often linked to children’s academic ability by teachers and parents。
通过分词短语的包装我们可以得到:
Based on the conception that scores tells everything, parents and teachers often link children’s score to their academic ability。
„„„
通过如此灵活的加工和包装,你会发现,简单句经过稍稍润色原来也可以如此光彩照人,这要比无数大词生僻词堆砌形成的长难句更加赢得考官的青睐。
总之,掌握了如上原则,再加上持之以恒的练习,考生一定能在Task 2中获得自己满意的分数。(编
