英文书信格式及范例大汇总

英文书信结构要素

（1）信头（Letterhead）。

信头包括发信人的地址和发信日期。很多人不太注意保留信封，在信内的打上发信人地址就方便收信人回信。如果使用已经印好信头的信纸，就只要打上发信日期。信头位于信的最上方，原则上首先按从小到大的顺序（正好与中文书信相反），门牌号码和街名或单位名占一行（太长可占两行），城镇名和邮政编码占一行，国名占一行。然后是发信日期，它是信头的最后一行，可以写成日月年（英式）也可写成月日年（美式），如：May8，1996或8May，1996.必然说明的是，月份要写英文名称，否则有可能产生歧义，如5/8/1996，美国人会理解为1996年5 月8 日，而英国人则理解为1996年8 月5 日。

（2）封内地址（Inside Address）。封内地址包括收信人的姓名和地址。封内地址必须和信封地址一致，否则就是出了差错，收信人此时可将信退回或按封内地址转寄。封内地址的第一行是收信人姓名，第二行职务，从第三行开始写收信人地址，写出法原则上和写发信人地址一样。

（3）称呼（Salutation）。

称呼应与亲近程度相吻合。最为正式的也是最不亲近的称呼为Dear Sir（英国用）或Dear Genteman（美国用），一般用于给政府机关、官员的公函中，或用于首次往来的商业书信中。比较熟识的人由应称他的姓，最随便也是最亲近的称呼是直呼其名，一般用于亲朋好友，但应注意，称姓时只称姓，不要又称名，而称名时不要加Dr或Mr.如某人全名为William.另外，如果对方为女性却不知应称Mrs.还是Miss时可称Ms.。称呼后面的标点英国人习惯用逗号，而美国人习惯用冒号（亲朋好友之间可用逗号）。

（4）正文（Body）。

正文是信的主体，和中文书信的要求一样，正文的内容要主题突了出、层次清楚、语言简洁、表达准确。如果正文很长需要几张信纸联页时，则应在每张联页左上端都注明页数和收信人名称，如：Mr.WilliamJ.Hall

（5）结束语（Complimentary Close）。

结束语是习惯的客套用语，它必须和前面的称呼遥相呼应。如果前面称Dear Sir，则应选择下列结束语：Very simcerely yours，Vedry respecrfully yours，Very truly yours，Sincerely yours 或Yours sincedrely，Respe-crfullky yours 或Yours respecrfullyFaithfully yours 或 Yours faith-fully.如果前面称姓，则应选择下列是结束语：Sincerely yours 或Yours sincerely，Truly yours 或Yokkurs truly，Yours ever.如果前面称名，则表示写信人与收信人的关系亲近友好，应选择下列结束语：SincerelyYours，Love，All my love.（6）签名和发信人姓名（Signaturd and Name Addresser）。

签名因为是亲笔手写，可能不好辩认，因此必须还要打印出来。签名只需签姓名，不需加Mr.或Mrs.，以及学位头衔等，但打印姓名时，因为中文名没有性别之分，所以中文拼音名前就加Mr.或Mrs.，Miss.，Ms.，以便收信人辨认，英文名男性不必加Mr.，但女

性要加Mrs.，Miss.，Ms.，打印名后面可加学位头衔等。

一封完整的英文书信必须依序包含上述六个要素。如果信件有附件并有必要提醒收信人，可在第六个要素之后加上附件注记（Enclosure 或Encl.）。如果整封信写好后又发现遗漏了什么，可在附件注记之后加上又启（Postscript）或其缩写（P.S.）进行补充。

I．信封的格式

MsWangXiaolan

15HuaihaiStreet

Shanghai210088

China

Stamp

PeterBrown

22,BlachpoolRoad

Sydney2140

Australia

1）写信人的姓名、地址写在信封正面的左上角。

2)收信人的姓名、地址写在信封正面中央稍偏右的地方。

3)邮票贴在信封的右上角。

4)地址的写法是先写收信人或寄信人的姓名，然后按照从小到大顺序依次写出门牌号、街道、城市、省

或州名、邮编，最后写国名。

5)收信人名前应根据需要加：Mr（先生）、Mrs（太太、夫人）、Miss（小姐）、Ms（女

士，已婚或

未婚均可）、Dr（博士）、Prof（教授）等称呼，以示礼貌。有些中国学生给老师写信常

用“teacher”作为称呼，这种用法不正确。在英语中“teacher”就跟“worker，driver，farmer”等一

样是一种职业，不能作为称呼。男老师我们可以用Mr，女老师我们用Mrs、Miss或Ms作为称呼。

II．信文的格式

1)把寄信人的地址和日期（简称“信头”）写在信纸的右上角。地址的写法同信封。

2)把收信人的姓名、地址（简称“内地址”）写在寄信人地址和日期的左下方，即信纸的左边，低寄信人

日期一至二行处。私人信件此项内容可以不写。

3)把称呼写在收信人姓名、地址下面，相距一行处。称呼一般以“Dear…”开头，后面用逗号。如无“内

地址”，可以把称呼向上顺移。

4)书信正文从称呼下一行的3至5个字母开始。

5)如同汉语信一样，英文信的结尾也常写有“祝好”、“盼来信”、“代向……问好”之类的话，我们称之

为“结束语”。

6)在信的结尾下面签上自己的姓名。除了对熟人或亲密的人以外，签名必须写全姓名，而且不管什么

信件，都应由写信人亲笔签名。

（二）各类信件（Letters）

英语信件的种类比较多，有一般信件，邀请信，推荐信等。但几乎所有信件的格式都大同小异。书写英语信件要注意下面几点：

（一）英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：

1．书信结构

英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：

1）信封（envelope）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一样外，英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：

Liu Yan-hua Room 302, No.48, Yanan Road(M)stamp Shanghai, 20040 P.R.China Prof.John Hill 607 North Willington Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 33404 U.S.A.2）信头(heading)，即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。

3）信内姓名地址(inside address)，即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。

4）称呼(salutation)，即写对收信人的尊称（一般用Dear Mr.… ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss…,;Dear John,;Dear

Professor Smith,等）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部分的结构如下：

Liu Yan-hua Room 302, No 48, Yanan Road(M)Shanghai 200040 P.R.China June 22, 2002 Prof.John Hill 607 North Willington Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 33404 U.S.A.Dear Professor Hill, ___________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________

注：如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间，因为彼此都知道对方的地址，故信头和信内的地址常常省略。

5）正文(body)，即信件内的主要内容。正文第一句句子一般和称

呼之间空一至二行。

6）信尾客套语(complimentary close)，即写信人在信的右（或左）下角，写上表示自己对收

信人一种礼貌客气的谦称。一般有Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendly yours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,等。

7）信尾签名(signature)，即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。

除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：（1）附件(Enclosure)，以Enc.表示，如“附有。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate；（2）再启(Postscript)，以P.S.表示；（3）抄送件(Carbon Copy to…)，以c.c.表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商贸信函中。

2．书写款式

英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式(Block Style)和折衷式(Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性，可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省

略信内的双方地址。

以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。

A: 齐头式信件款式：

（范文 1。）

Liu Ping Box 408

Beijing University Beijing 100871 P.R.China July 10, 2002 Director

注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空

格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方，这种形式则表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。

齐头式信件款式：

（范文 2。）

December 22, 2002 Dear Mr.Ken，I arrived at Shanghai yesterday afternoon.My wife and my daughter met me at the airport.They were very much glad that I could come back just before Christmas and the new year’s day.On our way home, I told them a lot about my stay in America, until now they are always encouraging me

to tell them some interesting incidents and exciting experiences that I encountered in the State.You know they have never been abroad, and therefore everything may seem strange to them.It is even extremely incredible for them to know that every day we took half an hour drive for our lunch, which is quite natural for ordinary people.My wife and daughter want me to thank you for your gifts to them.My daughter loves the toy dog very much, and she always holds it even when she is sleeping.My wife loves the purse.She feels so proud of owning it, speaks so highly of its quality that she shows it to all her friends.Anyway, I’m much obliged to you for your hospitality during my stay there, and to your wife, Catherine, especially.She is really a nice young lady, who is kind, frank and generous.With her guidance and instructions, I could visit some places that I had been longing for, find some important materials and learn something in detail about American culture.Meanwhile, I would thank your colleagues for their tremendous help, without which it would have been impossible for me to cope with everything.I won’t come to my office until January 6.We will inform you of our decision about the contract as soon as possible.Please remember me to your wife and two daughters.Sincerely yours, Zhou Yan-wen B: 折衷式信件款式：

用折衷式书写信件，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在Dear称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都写在右下方。朋友之间写信一般都使用折衷式，而且称呼与正文之间一般不空行。具体款式和要求参见后面的一些信件。

以下是一封折衷式信件。

Li Xiang Commercial and Trade LMT Room 606 Park Hotel No.18 Nanjing Road(W)Shanghai 20001 P.R.China July 20, 2002 Mr.Smith Henkel Manager of Import Division Victoria Industries Co.Flemington 3032 VIC, Australia

Dear Mr.Henkel，We acknowledge the receipt of your letter and its enclosure of February 10 about thesupply of washing machines.We regret that it is difficult for us to consider the purchase as our company does not need the item for the time being.We have recorded your quotation of our further use.Thank you for your kind attention to this reply.Yours faithfully, Li Xiang

3．信件书写要求：

写英语信件一般可以使用打字机、电脑，朋友之间比较随便的信件也可以用钢笔、圆珠笔甚至彩色笔，但不宜用铅笔。不管你用什么形式书写，一些重要的信件，签名处必须用深蓝色或黑色墨水笔签名。

Maximum Weight: 5kg Output: 1000 watts @ 12 volts

Rechargeable life at full power: 8 hours Labels: Each unit should bear a label giving:

I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date.Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow.In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr.Cloud and Mrs.Lewis if you need any more information.Looking forward to hearing from you.Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.Best wishes, Fred

7）出国留学推荐信(Recommendation Letter for Studying Abroad)

随着我国出国留学生日年增多一般，大部分学生需要在出国前让自己的老师、导师或领导写一份出国推荐信，从而可以在信中告知对方学校申请人的学历、能力、为人处世等方面的情况。如果推荐信是写给对方某某人的，开头用 Dear…，如果是写给对方单位或学校的，则开头可以用To whom it may concern, 或To Whom It May Concern,（意为：有关负责人）。

以下是一封出国留学推荐信：

Department of International Business University of Texas at Arlington Arlington, Texas 76019 U.S.A.March 12, 2002

To Whom It May Concern，I am delighted to write this recommendation letter for Ms.Ma Yan, a brilliant student of mine, who has applied to your University for admission to graduate program of International Business in the coming fall semester 2002.In the academic year 1997 – 2001, Ms.Ma Yan was in the class on International Finance and Foreign Trade Business under my instruction.Needless to say, the two courses demand prior study of, among other things, the English language.Ms.Ma Yan’s performance in my class was quite outstanding.From discussions, assignments and terminal exams, I could see that she had acquired extensive knowledge in the conduct of International Finance as well as Foreign Trade Business.As far as I know, Ms.Ma Yan has been highly successful in almost all the major courses she has taken in our Department.This demonstrates her superior scholastic capacity and her potential for further academic growth.As to her character and personality, in my personal opinion, she is indeed a courteous, pleasant and ambitious young lady.Furthermore, she has a warm personality with emotional maturity.With this good character, I would say that she will be able to get well along with people of different nationalities.Considering her a student of high potential, I recommend her most enthusiastically.Your assistance and kind

rue du Professeur Nicolas 35009 Clermont Ferrand France 7 August 2002 Dear Jacques，I’m writing to you because we’ve been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles.I’m pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which is why I’m writing to you direct to se if you can help us out.I did try to call, but you weren’t available.I’m sending some copies of our technical brochures to that you can see what we need.Here’s the specification:

Polymeric Batteries

Maximum Size: Height: 200mm Depth: 200mm Width: 300mm Maximum Weight: 5kg

Output: 1000 watts @ 12 volts

Rechargeable life at full power: 8 hours Labels:

Each unit should bear a label giving:

The output of the battery, its month and year of manufacture, your own company’s name and country, a product code number and a unique unit number Quantity: 4,800 units

Delivery: by 15 September 2002

I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date.Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow.In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr.Cloud and Mrs.Lewis if you need any more information.Looking forward to hearing from you.Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.Best wishes，Fred

7）出国留学推荐信(Recommendation Letter for Studying Abroad)

随着我国出国留学生日年增多一般，大部分学生需要在出国前让自己的老师、导师或领导写一份出国推荐信，从而可以在信中告知对方学校申请人的学历、能力、为人处世等方面的情况。如果推荐信是写给对方某某人的，开头用 Dear…，如果是写给对方单位或学校的，则开头可以用To whom it may concern, 或To Whom It May Concern,（意为：有关负责人）。

以下是一封出国留学推荐信：

第四篇：英文书信格式及

英文书信格式及范文

一、英文书信的结构

二、书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

三、书信作文练习及其参考范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信，可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信，或询问、答复、反映意见（如投诉信）等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

5.1.1 信头（Heading）

信头是指发信人的地址和日期，通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写，也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大：门牌号、街道、城市、省（州）、邮编、国名，最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。例如：

Tianhe Road

Tianhe District

Guangzhou 510620

Guangdong Province

P.R.C.Jan.8, 2010

5.1.2 信内地址（Inside Address）

信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项，在私人信件中，这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角，格式与寄信人地址一样。

5.1.3 称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：

Dear Professor/Prof.Bergen:

Dear Dr.Johnson，对不相识的人可按性别称呼：

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文（Body of Letter）

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。

书信正文的第一句话或第一段，通常被称为起首语。一般说来，人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始，即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述，以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信，也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍，并表明自己写信的主要目的。

5.1.5 结尾礼词（Complimentary Close）

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

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

私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

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

5.1.6 签名（Signature）

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。

第二节 书信作文的出题形式和写作要领

1990年到2002年1月之间的四级考试作文题中，书信作文共出现两次（2001年6月和2002年1月）。下面，我们先来看看2001年6月四级考试的作文题：

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

1.表示欢迎

2.提出对度假安排的建议

3.提醒应注意的事项

A Letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang，__________________________________

__________________________________

__________________________________.Yours，Zhang Ying

从上面的例子可见，书信作文不仅给出正文部分的内容的提纲，而且还给出书信各部分的结构的框架。也就是说，我们只要考虑如何表达提纲部分的内容，而不用考虑书信的结构。

在写书信作文时，首先要把书信正文的提纲内容细化，扩展成更细的英文提纲，然后用简洁、明了、礼貌、正确和得体的语言表达出细化了的提纲内容。例如前面的那封信就可以列出下面的提纲：

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.Last day--departureIII.Points for attention1.Train number & time of arrival2.SunglassesIV.Looking forward to seeing you.Introduction Body 1Body 2Conclusion

范文：

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.Sincerely yours，Zhang Ying

写信日期称呼正文第一段：表示欢迎正文第2段：活动安排第一天的安排第二天的安排第三天的安排第4-6天的安排第七天：送行正文第三段（注意事项）： 注意事项一注意事项二结束语结尾礼词签名

上面举的是私人信件的例子，下面我们再来看一封投诉信（Letter of Complaint）。

投诉信的目的是为了让收信人读信后同情你的遭遇,解决你所遇到的问题。所以写投诉信时应该实事求是地反映情况，注意措辞，不使用过多的讽刺或责备的语言，也不要因为发泄怒气而离题，以避免引起收信人的不信任或反感。

一般而言，投诉信包括以下内容：提出要求和理由；解释详细的情况；把请求具体化以及希望收信人采取行动的日期等。例如：

September 1, 2001

Dear Sir or Madam:

I’m writing to complain about a typewriter I bought seven months ago.In February of 2001 I bought a Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model, at ABC Store, I had used it only a few days when the space bar broke.I took it to a local shop, they told me it was factory defect and suggest I take it back to ABC.ABC accepted the machine and sent the part in.I waited three months, and since your company did not send a replacement, they let me have the space bar from another typewriter.Now, six months later, it has broken again.I took it back to ABC.They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured me that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.Respectfully，(Signature)

James Bergen

写信日期 称呼正文第一段：表明写信的目的正文第二段：具体说明购买产品的时间、地点及出现的问题第三段：说明尝试的解决方法 第四段：说明尝试的解决方案无效，请求帮助结尾礼词签名打印的姓名

这是一封态度冷静、措辞有理、有节的投诉售后服务不周的信。由于这类信涉及经销商（厂家）和卖方，因此，投诉信中写明了以下详细的情况：

1）购物的时间：In February of 2001

2）购物地点： at ABC Store

3）产品型号：Jones Typewriter, Portable Special Model

4）使用时间：I had used it only a few days；six months later

5）主要问题：The space bar broke

6）产生问题的原因：factory defect

7）为什么向你方反映：

They are no longer carrying your typewriter, but they assured us that the guarantee is still good and suggested that I write you for further instructions as to what steps to take.(商店已没有贵公司的打字机，但他们让我相信，保修卡仍有效，并建议我写信给贵公司以寻求解决办法)

此外，写信人还用了礼貌的结束语：

I will appreciate anything you can do to help us on this matter.(贵公司在这件事上给我的任何帮助都将令我不胜感激)

小结：1）英文书信的结构；2）书信作文的出题形式；3）书信作文的写作要领。

下面我们进行写作练习。我将给大家一个作文题，请大家根据这一讲的内容，在30分钟内完成。大家在写作的过程中要注意审题，考虑文章的结构、采用的起首语和结束语等。

练习五：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a letter.Suppose you are Xiao Li.Write a letter to Xiao Zhang, a roommate of yours who is a heavy smoker.You should write at least 120 words according to the suggestion given below in Chinese:

A Letter to a Roommate March 16, 2002

Dear Xiao Zhang，Recently I have noticed that you have been smoking heavily, which is becoming a serious problem.As long as you are in, our bedroom is filled with that terrible smell.The ashtray always overflows with cigarette butts.Your are ruining your health, destroying brain cells which can never be replaced, not to mention the damage to your lungs and windpipes.Smoking, especially heavy smoking, correlates highly with lung cancer.It is possible that you'll be caught up with it.I'm not scaring you.Besides, smoking is also harmful to the health of our roommates and the friendship among us.The roommates avoid being in the bedroom for fear of being polluted.As a result, the brotherhood among roommates is gradually fading.If I were you, I would try to get rid of the bad habit.It is not difficult to break away from it if you are really determined to quit.Remember 'Where there is a will, there is a way'.I will always be there to help, if you need.Yours sincerely, Xiao Li

三、书信作文练习及其参考范文

书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间来往的书信，可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信，或询问、答复、反映意见（如投诉信）等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。

第一节 英文书信的结构

英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。

1.信头（Heading）

信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期，一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如：

英式：1st October，1999 美式：October 1，1999

在英式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在美式中，必需要使用逗号。

1.信头的写法有缩进式(Indented Form)和齐头式(Block Form)缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母；齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示：

缩进式

Wang Ming

Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China

齐头式

Wang Ming

Dept.of Chemical Engineering Dalian University of Technology Dalian 116023 Liaoning Province P.R.China

2.信内地址（Inside Address）

信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地址也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如：

缩进式

The President Oxford University England 齐头式

Jiang Bin 64Heping Road P.R.China

5.1.3 称呼（Salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：

Dear Professor/Prof.Bergen:

Dear Dr.Johnson，对不相识的人可按性别称呼：

Dear Sir: 或Dear Madam: Dear Ladies。

如果不知收信人的性别则可用Dear Sir or Madam:

5.1.4 正文（Body of Letter）

正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。

5.1.5 结尾礼词（Complimentary Close）

公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

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

私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：

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

5.1.6 签名（Signature）

写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。•

书信写作的五点要求：

1、开门见山说意图

2、咨询/ 建议1、2、3、3、不同内容可分段

4、感谢客气不可少

5、期待回信成老套

英文信函的信封有两种写法：

第一种是将写信人的姓名及地址和收信人的姓名和地址均写在信封的正面。

第二种写法是将收信人的姓名和地址写在信封的正面，而将发信人的姓名和地址写在信封的背面。

第一种写法多用于正式信函，第二种写法多用于私人信件，即与家庭成员、亲朋好友之间的信件。商业信件和求职信等都属于正式信函，因此采用第一种写法。

例文：

• 1.表达自己对晚交论文一事的歉意。•

2.说明未能按时交论文的原因。

• 3.表示自己将尽快把论文补交上并表示以后将按时交作业。• ●审题概述●

• 这是一封道歉信，写的时候要遵循道歉信的一般模式：开篇直奔主题，然后说明原因，最后提出可能的补救措施。第一段，对晚交论文及对此造成的后果表示歉意；第二段，说明理由（可信的理由，而不是随便应付老师的借口）；第三段，表示尽快完成论文。
