第一篇:高考英语作文书信
(一)书信 概述
书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进行交际的工具,也是高考书面表达中常见的考试文体。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异,英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样,有些地方迥然不同。本章将向大家介绍一般格式及各种常见信件,如家信、祝贺信、道歉信及自荐信等。
一般格式
英文书信的构成可分为8个部分: 信头(Heading)日期(Date)收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)称呼(Salutation)信文(Body of the letter)结束语(Complimentary close)署名(Signature)附言(P.S.)(1)信头(Heading)信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:
①齐头式
②缩进式
注意:写地址的次序与中文不同,应先写门牌号码街道,然后城市和国名。写地址时采用齐头或缩进式,以及每行后要不要加标点符号,都没有固定的规定。如写给经常往来的亲友,这项地址也可以省略。
(2)日期(Date)写日期注意下列各点:
①年份应写全,例如不能用“07”来代替“2007”;
②月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替,如7/4/99 或7,4,99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,2007,而美国则代表4th July,2007。
③日期可用1,2,3,4„11,12„21,22„31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th„11th,21th„22nd„31st等。
日期的几种写法: a.July 7,2007 b.1st October,2007 c.30 Nov., 2006 d.Sep.3rd, 2007 ④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后,这是很多学生的常见错误。
精选范文 ①
②
(3)收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)写信人的地址和日期写好以后,接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写,而在给极熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行,收信人地址可分两行或三行写,和写信人的地址一样,上下可取齐,也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号,称号因人而异。
①对普通男子用Mr; ②对未婚女子用Miss;
③对已婚女子用Mrs,对婚姻状况不明确的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓); ④对男子用Master;
⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof.或Dr. 精选范文
(4)称呼(Salutation)称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各种称呼因人而异。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:
①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等; a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c.Dear Sister, d.Dear Tom, ②对亲戚:
a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin, ③对朋友、同学
a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir, ④对未婚女子: a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce, ⑤对一般女子,不论是否结婚: a.Madame, b.Dear Madame, ⑥对已婚女子:
a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson, ⑦对公司、工厂、学校等: a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,(5)信文(Body of the letter)信文是信件的主体部分,也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。
开头语
①相当于中文的“敬君者”。a.I beg to inform you that„
b.I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that „ c.I have the honor to address you that„
d. I write in a hurry to inform you that„ e.I have the pleasure to tell you that„ f.I'm very much delighted to inform you that„ ②相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信,一切知悉”。
a.I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th „ b.Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.c.It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.d.In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that „ e.I have received your kind letter of May 20th.f.Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.g.Your letter dated May 20th has been received.结尾语 采用三种方法:
①采用分词短语:句末用逗号,不用句号。例如: a.Waiting for your good news, b.Looking forward to your early reply, c.Hoping to hear from you soon, d.Hoping you are enjoying good health, e.Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply, f.Regretting the trouble I'm causing you, g.Wishing you every success, h.Wishing you a pleasant journey, i.Wishing you a happy New Year, ②采用介词短语,例如: a.With best regards, b.With kind regards to your family, c.With best wishes to you and yours, d.With best wishes for your success and happiness, e.With best wishes for your success in your new field of work, f.With best regards and wishing you all success, g.With warmest regards, h.With best regards to you and your family, i.With the season's greetings, ③采用完整句子:
a.We are waiting for your good news.b.I hope to receive your early reply.c.We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.d.I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.(6)结束语(Complimentary Close)结束语的一般写法如下: ①业务书信常用: Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly,Truly yours, Sincerely yours, ②公函常用: Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely, ③私人书信常用: Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,④给亲戚朋友的信常用: Love, All my love,Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc.Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,(7)署名(Signature)下面是署名的例子: ①个人署名: truly, W.J.Watson Yours faithfully, ②公司署名:
Legend Computer Company Wang Lin Sales Manager(8)附言(Postscript)发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说,可以在信末署名下面几行写上,P.S.(Postscript 的缩写),然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚,尽量少用或不用P.S.。

第五篇:高考英语书信作文全解析
高考英语书信作文全解析 高考英语书信作文全解析
多年来,应用文一直是高考英语书面表达部分的命题热点。高考常考应用文包括书信、发言稿/演讲稿、留言条、通知等。其中,书信应用文以其独特的优势成为命题人的宠儿。下面笔者结合高考真题,对书信类作文的命题形式、命题趋势和解题策略进行全面的介绍,希望能帮助大家更好地应对这一题型。
命题形式
下面以两道真题为例来介绍这种题型的命题形式。例1:2011年高考英语全国卷I书面表达
假定你是李华,正在一所英国学校学习暑期课程,遇到一些困难,希望得到学校辅导中心(Learning Center)的帮助。根据学校规定,你需书面预约,请按下列要点写一封信: 1.本人简介;2.求助内容;3.约定时间;4.省略;Phone: 12345678)。
注意: 1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;3.结束语已为你写好。
Dear Sir/Madam, ___________________________________________________________ _____________ ___________________________________________________________ _____________ ___________________________________________________________ _____________ Look forward to your reply.Yours, Li Hua 例2:2010年高考英语全国卷II书面表达
假设你是李华,你的美国笔友Peter曾表示希望来中国教书。你校现需招聘外教,请给他写封信,告知招聘信息。内容主要包括: 1.教授课程:英语口语、英语写作、今日美国、今日英国等 2.授课对象:高中生(至少三年英语基础)3.工作量: ——每周12学时,任选三门课
——担任学生英语俱乐部或英语校报顾问(advisor)注意: 1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;3.开头语已为你写好。
Dear Peter, I remember you told me you were interested in teaching in China.___________________________________________________________ ___________ Best, Li Hua 从这两道题目中考生可以直观地看出,书信题目一般分为三个部分,分别是“背景介绍”“内容要点”和“注意事项”。“背景介绍”部分模拟了一个实际生活中可能存在的情景,告诉考生“为什么需要写这封信”;“内容要点”部分给出这封信中一定要涵盖的三到四个
内容点,告诉考生“这封信中要写些什么”;“注意事项”部分给出字数等限制性要求,为考生答题立下一定的规矩。题目中一般会给出称呼语和落款,有时还会给出结束语或开头语。
命题趋势
为什么命题人喜欢选用这种题型呢,这是因为书信作文有以下三大特点。1.贴近生活。书信作文比一般的提纲式议论文更加贴近日常生活中的实际交际,符合高考英语大纲“贴近生活”“注重实际运用能力”的要求。
2.形式规范。和其他几种应用文相比,书信在形式上有着更加明确的写作规范,容易制定统一的评分标准。
3.“题库”完善。书信作文虽无固定“题库”,但过去多年的考试经验已积累了丰富的真题资源,命题专家参考历年各省考过的真题,容易命制高质量的题目。
基于以上三点原因,笔者预计,在今年以及今后几年,书信仍然是高考英语书面表达的命题重点。
解题策略
大体上来说,除了开头的称呼和最后的落款外,书信作文可分开头段、中间段和结尾段三部分来写,既要符合书信的一般套路如要有问候语和祝福语等,又要涵盖写作要求中的内容要点,把问题或事情交代完整。下面具体讲解各段的写法。
1.开头段
开头段应写出四方面的内容,即问候、自我介绍、写信背景、写信目的。这部分应简洁明快,用几句话交代清上述四方面内容即可。? 问候。问候是考生交际能力和个人修养的体现,也是写信最基本的套路。如果不对收信人进行简单的问候就开门见山地“就事论
事”,会显得突兀和不自然。问候部分很简单,往往一句“How are you?”就能搞定。
? 自我介绍。如果对方不认识你,就有必要写一句自我介绍。自我介绍需要根据题目所给信息来写,一般包括姓名、身份、所在学校等(注意:切不可写出考生自己的真实姓名和所在学校),如在2011年全国卷I书面表达中应简要介绍写信人名叫李华,“正在一所英国学校学习暑期课程”(I'm Li Hua, a Chinese student taking summer courses in your university.)。有时,有的题目还会要求你写兴趣爱好、家庭环境等信息。这时,最佳的写法就是综合运用多种语法知识,用一两句话囊括全部的必要信息,体现考生高水平的语言运用能力。例如:I'm Li Hua, a 17-year-old boy currently studying in Xinhua High School.Born to a family of writers, I'm crazy about reading novels and writing poems.? 写信背景。要用一句话交代出“你为什么要写这封信”。此时可参考题目中的“背景介绍”部分,进行简单的翻译或转述。如2011年全国卷I书面表达题目中,“遇到一些困难”就属于写信背景;2010年全国卷II书面表达题目中,“你的美国笔友Peter曾表示希望来中国教书”“你校现需招聘外教”这两个内容点亦属于写信背景。
? 写信目的。要用一句话明确指出“你写这封信是为了达成什么目的”。写信目的在题目中的“背景介绍”部分往往都有提示。如2011年全国卷I书面表达题目中的“希望得到学校辅导中心(Learning Center)的帮助”就是写信目的,可写成:Now, I am writing to ask you for help.2010年全国卷II书面表达题目中的“告知招聘信息”亦为写信目的,可写成:Now, I am writing to tell you about the details.需要指出的是,如果题目中要求的写信目的不唯一,那么开头段中可不必写出写信目的,而在中间段中具体体现。如2009年山东卷书面表达: 假设你是李华,曾在美国学习半年,现已回国。你想联系你的美国老师Mr.Smith,但没有其联系方式。请根据以下要点给你的美国
同学Tom 写一封信: 1.感谢Tom对你英语学习的帮助;2.询问Mr.Smith的近况并索要其联系方式;3.邀请Tom在春节期间来中国感受中国文化。注意:1.词数120~150;2.可适当增加细节。
在这道题中,虽然“背景介绍”部分提到这封信的主要目的是询 问Mr.Smith的联系方式,但是后面的“内容要点”部分给出的三个 内容要点并非完全围绕这一目的展开,而是分别完成了“感谢”“询 问”和“邀请”三种交际功能。因此,首段中不宜唐突指出写信目的 仅为“索要联系方式”。
根据“写信目的”的不同,书信可分为感谢信、邀
请信、建议信、道歉信、自荐信、求助信等,其写信目的的写法各不 相同,常用句型列举如下: 感谢信: I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to you.邀请信: I am writing to invite you to join the...(as our guest/judge).建议信: I am writing these lines to give you some suggestions.道歉信: I am writing to express my heartfelt apology to you.自荐信: I am writing this letter to apply for the job/position.求助信: I am writing to ask you to do me a favor.值得一提的是,近年来,书信命题涉及的内容日趋灵活,已经不 限于上述常见的书信类型,呈现出“形式变化不多,内容丰富多样” 的趋势。像2009年山东卷这种一封书信里面包含多个相互联系不甚 紧密的内容要点的情况越来越多,大家需要重视起来,并学会灵活应 对。2.中间段
书信类作文题目一般都会列出三到四个内容要点。在这些内容要
点中,某些次要内容可以写到开头段和结尾段中,但关键的内容点必须独立成段,称为“中间段”。
中间段应按照“具体问题+具体分析”的逻辑思路,写成“要点+拓展”的结构,类似于语文议论文中的“总—分”结构。如2011年全国卷I书面表达中,“求助内容”就应该写成一个独立的中间段落。考生可先写“我在几个方面遇到困难需要求助”(要点),再分别描述这几个困难(拓展)。再如2010年全国卷II书面表达中,三个内容要点可以全部放在中间段来写。
在中间段中,陈述要点难度并不大,只需转述题目中的“内容要点”即可。真正使考生感到困扰的是“拓展”部分~“拓展”一般有两种情况,一种情况是题中用中文给出具体信息,需要考生用英语表达出来(如2010年全国卷II书面表达);另一种情况是题中不给出具体信息,需要考生自己去发挥(如2011年全国卷I书面表达)。
对考生来讲,这两种情况各有利弊。如果是第一种情况,题目中的中文提示往往很难直接翻译成英语,需要考生具有“同义转述”的能力,用自己的语言表达出题目要求的内容,如果逐字翻译很容易闹出一些中式英语笑话;如果是第二种情况,难点在于通过发散思维想到容易表达的内容。不论是哪种情况,多个拓展句之间都要用过渡词相连,形成完整、连贯的信息流。
中间段是文章的主体部分,中间段的质量将直接影响考生分数的高低。上文提到书信可分成感谢信、建议信等多种类型,事实上,每种类型的书信都有其相应的中间段写法,在冲刺备考阶段,考生应精研历年真题及范文,一一掌握每种书信类型的中间段写法。
3.结尾段
结尾段一般为各种“客套话”。客套话包含感谢、致歉、必要的补充说明、个人愿望、期待回信等等。在交际中,合理地使用客套话可以体现考生的交际能力和个人修养。要想写好结尾段,考生应识记一些常用的客套话写法,例如: ? 再次表达歉意:I would like to apologize to you again for doing sth.(用于道歉信)? 希望得到某份工作:If the chance were offered to me, I would dedicate all my effort and wisdom to the job.(用于自 荐信)? 希望对方的问题得到解决:Hopefully, these suggestions will be beneficial and useful for you.(用于建议信)? 希望对方能够施予援手:Hopefully, you will be so kind to give me a hand at your earliest convenience.(用于求助信)? 感谢对方读信:Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.(用于各种书信)? 期盼对方回信:Sincerely looking forward to your early reply.(用于各种书信)如果题目中并未给出落款,考生需在书信的结尾写上“Best wishes”以及“Yours truly/sincerely, Li Hua”等,以满足书信 格式的要求。高分范文
基于上述讲解,笔者给出两篇高分范文,希望大家认真揣摩、熟 练背诵、活学活用。(由于范文使用了多个高级句型,导致字数偏多,但不影响大家模仿学习。真正考试时按题目中的词数要求来写即可。)【范文1:2011年全国卷I】 Dear Sir/Madam, How are you?
