第一篇:March 21英语作文信件篇
March 21.2011 Dear Sarah How are you getting along these days?I'm missing you so much.Sarah,do you remember once you asked me “What is the key to a better life?” And now I've got an answer.It seems like a big gift thrown from heaven.And I happened to catch it when I luckily read this article written by Maxwell Maltz entitled “Your key to a better life.”At the first part,it refers to the most important psychological discovery of this century---the “self-image”---which can also be considered as a mental blueprint or pictures of ourselves.The article gives a brief introduction of what self-image is and how to build it.Then it comes to the second part,which consists of the main points of this article.It can be divided into two important discoveries.First one is that all one's feelings , actions or behaviors are consistent with one's own self-image.In other words, man can act like the sort of person he conceive himself to be.The self-image is a base of his whole personality and his characteristic,even his circumstances which attach to his success.Second one is that the self-image can be changed.The author makes a lively metaphor.He compares the external circumstances or character defect to the circumference of the self.So to speak,all the efforts at change directed to the self-image is similar to making a big change to the center of oneself.A proverb come from Jesus has proved this by saying the folly of putting a patch of new material upon an old garment,or putting new wine into old bottles.At the last part of this article,the author also lists several examples to verify his point.It is so amazing to see how much success can one make when he has changed his self-image.This article gives me a new viewpoint to look at myself.I really hope ardently you can read this article.Hope to hear from you soon.With love, Wandy
第二篇:英语信件格式
商务英语书信(Business or Commercial English Correspondence)是指交易时所使用的通信。在美国,常用Business writing,它包括书信、电报、电话、电传、报告书、明信片等。英语和美语在书信体例方面存在着一定的差异,比如信头和称呼、书信格式、遣词、结尾客套语等均有所不同。
英国书信保守,美国书信有活力。
英国书信较为保守,许多英国人喜欢用老式书信体,用词较为正式刻板,而美国书信语言非常生气、有活力,格式也较为简便。因此当我们写信的对象是英国或其旧殖民地国家时,要使用标准式英语Queen's English;如果写信的对象是美国或美国势力范围的地区时,就要用美国英语。当然,英国式的语言文化近年来也有变化,但总体来说,两者间的差异是很明显的。
英文书信的垂直式和齐头式。
商业英文书信,一般都要求用打字机或电脑整齐地打印,左边各行开头垂直的,称为垂直式或齐头式(Block style),美国常用这种格式;每段的第一个词缩进去,称为缩进式或锯齿式(indented style),英国常用此格式。垂直式的职务及签名都在左边的边栏界线,这种格式,在极度尊重工作效率的美国公司,已普遍采用。正式的商业英语书信要在称呼的上方写上收信公司名称和地址或收信人的名字全称、职务及地址,称为信内地址(Inside address)。信内地址的写法也有垂直式和缩进式之分,垂直式和称美国式将各行并列,缩进式或称英国式将各行依次退缩。
普通书信的写法。
近来英国商业书信信内地址并未依次缩进,似乎与美国式相同。此外,在美国还流行一种普通收信人地址的写法,就是在书信的Inside Address中,把门牌号和街名都省略掉。在英文书信中要使用敬语,最普遍的敬语是Mr, Mrs和Miss(用于未婚女性)。英国人常在男性的姓名之后用Esq.(Esquire的缩写),不过在商业上也在慢慢地改用Mr.Mmes.(Madam的复数形式),用于二个女士以上。Messrs(Mr的复数形式)用于二个以上的男人,或用于二个以上的男人组成的公司或团体。在英国式英文信里,Mr, Mrs, Messrs,均不加缩写句点,相反地趋向于进步自由的美语反而加缩写句点如Mr., Mrs., Messrs.。在称呼方面,商业上最普遍的有Gentlemen(美国式)与Dear Sirs(英国式)二种,相当于我国的“敬启者”或“谨启者”。
典型的美国式书写法。
给公司单位写信时美语用Gentlemen(复数形式),英语用Dear Sirs。如果对方公司只一人时,必须使用Sir/Dear Sir。称呼后一般要使用标点符号,英国式采用逗号(comma),美国式用分号(colon)。书信结尾客套语(complimentary close)有多种,相当于我国书信在结尾时使用的“敬礼”、“致敬”、“顺安”等句。最为典型的美国式写法是Sincerely和Best regards,典型的英国式表达有Yours sincerely(熟人或知道对方姓名),Best wishes, kind regards 和yours faithfully(不知姓名)。此外,英国式的客套语还有特别礼貌的格式,但除了特殊情况外,现在不再使用。
...................文书信通常由下列五个部分组成:
A 信头(Heading)
信头包括写信人地址和写信日期,通常写在信笺的右上角。在比较熟识的朋友之间的通信,写信人的地址常可略去。本课的信头就只写了写信日期,而没有写信人的地址。日期通常有下列两种定法:
(a)月、日、年:如August 15, 200__
(b)日、月、年:如15th august, 200__
地址的写法通常是由小到大,如:门牌号、街道名、市(县)名、省名、国名(邮政编码通常写在城市名之后)。这同中文书信的地址写法完全相反。地址可以写1~3行,日期写在地址的下方(见信笺格式)。
B 称呼(Salutation)
称呼指写信人对收信人的称呼,如Dear Xiaojun,写在信头的下方和信笺的左边。称呼一般用Dear„或My dear„开头,称呼后一般用逗号。
C 正文(Body)
这是书信的主体部分,即写信人要表达的内容。正文要求文字通顺,层次分明,表意清楚。可以手书,也可以打写。
D 结束语(Complimentary Close)
它是书信结尾的恭维话,相当于文中书信最后的“祝好”、“致礼”之类的话语。本课书信中的“Best wishes”(致以最好的祝愿)就是结束语。
E 签名(Signature)
签名通常签在结束语下方的中间偏右的位置,如本课信中的Charlie。签名应是亲笔书写,即使是打写机打出的信件,最后仍需亲笔签名。在签名的上方可根据写信人和收信人的关系写上Sincerely yours/Yours sincerely(用于长辈或朋友之间),或Respectfully yours/Yours respectfully(用于对长辈或上级)。
第三篇:英语信件格式
英语信件格式
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。接下来,就有海锐教育集团的许老师来给大家讲解一下英语信件的格式吧。
英语书信结构、书写款式及要求:
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,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。
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,;Friendlyyours,;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。
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。
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。

第五篇:英语信件-感谢信
一、感谢信
Sample 1 June 2006 Dear Mr.Seaton,Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London.It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights.If I'd gone alone, I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn't have known my way about.The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare.I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls.So I think I was lucky.I think the river trip was the best thing of all.London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich.It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never forget.Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.Yours sincerely,Linda Chen
Sample 2 July 2006
Dear Mr.Wang,Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA(Maywood Chinese Education Association).Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education.It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest.Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA.We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.Yours sincerely,George Chen
