演讲与致辞
演讲与致辞
一篇好的演讲稿,通常要有很精彩的演讲词,以及很好的文体特征和篇章结构,同时还得考虑所演讲的对象。
如何拟定演讲稿(How to Make a Speech Draft)
真正写好一篇演讲稿,拟稿人首先得了解演讲词的文体特征以及演讲词的篇章结构,此外,还得考虑所演讲的对象。这就是所谓“知己知彼,百战百胜”。
演讲词的文体特征(Stylistic Features of a Speech)
因此,在准备演讲稿时,应力求语言通俗易懂,诙谐幽默,生动形象,层次清晰,逻辑性强,句子精悍有力,文字朗朗上口,语言节奏感强。
1)放在前面多采用简单句。
2)语言多口语化。
3)多用排比句式。
4)重复修辞格多。
5)多采用祈使句。
6)多运用设问句。
在现代社会交际活动中,致辞的使用十分频繁。
一般地,根据场合不同,致辞大体可分为正式和非正式两种。正式场合致辞通常多用于官方性质的会议、仪式等场合,这类致辞要求结构严谨,语言规范。相反个人或民间举行的一些非正式的仪式,语言则可以随和、轻松一些。
致辞文体结构(Structure of a Speech)
一篇完整的致辞,一般由引言、正文和结论三大部分组成。
引言(Introduction)
在致辞引言中,演讲者应着重指明演讲主题的重要性以及重要意义以引起听众的注意及共鸣。
正文(Body)
正文部分是致辞的核心内容,因此应该突出主题,做到观点明确,层次清晰,以达到致辞的真正目的。
结论(Conclusion)
结论部分是对致辞的主体内容做出结论性的总结,并且应对相关问题提出希望。因此,写作时宜使用一些具有激励性、鼓舞性的语言。按照致辞的场合以及用途,常见的致辞种类可分为:欢迎词、答谢词、欢送词、告别词、开幕词、闭幕词、贺词、祝酒词、悼词等
证书
证书
证书所采用的也是一种应用文体形式,一般内容不长,语言精炼,用词严谨、准确。
与证明不同的地方在于,有的证书没有标题,但必须注明证书的号码。
常用的证书有:毕业证书、学位证书、结婚证书、退休证书、职称证书等。
证明
证明
证明通常是由个人所在单位或学校出具的证明个人身份、学历、经历或者某些事实真相的一种文书,具有一定的法律效力。在日常生活中,因为工作或交往的需要,出具证明是常有的事情。与证明相比,证书则是由学校、团体或机关颁发的能够证明资格或权力等问题的文件,例如考试等级证书、获奖证书、荣誉证书等等。无论是出具证明还是颁发证书,都必须坚持实事求是的原则,切忌弄虚作假。
证明的基本格式(The Style of Certificates)
英文证明的书写格式比较简单。但语言要求简洁、严谨,格式要规范,并且反映事实情况。通常证明上无需收信人姓名、地址,也无需结束敬语。证明一般由标题、正文、署名3部分组成。
合同与协议
合同与协议
合同或协议一般由三部分组成,即:标题、正文和署名。
标题(Title)
合同或协议的标题需要标明合同的性质,点明主旨,说明这是一个什么合同。在商务合同中,还宜在标题下面标明合同号码。
合同与协议正文(Body of the Text)
合同或协议的正文通常应包括开端、具体条款和结尾。
合同或协议的开端首先要写明签订合同或协议的双方名称、地址,同时简要说明签订合同或协议的目的。通常为了便于合同或协议在文中的引用,在双方名称后分别注明“以下简称为或称为买(卖)方或甲(乙)方”英语中称为“hereinafter referred to as...”或“hereinafter called...”。
产品说明书
产品说明书
产品说明书,又称为“产品使用手册(Operating Manual)”,是生产厂商为销售及进一步宣传和说明其产品而附在产品包装内部或外部的一种宣传资料,主要用来说明产品的结构、功能、性状等各方面特征,并告诉客户如何正确使用所购物品,使顾客对产品有深一层的了解,以免因使用不当而造成不良后果,同时对今后产品的日常保养有一定的提示作用。产品说明书在英语中通常有三种不同的说法,即,Instruction, Direction, Description。
一份成功有效的说明书,不仅可以迅速激起人们的购买欲望,而且可以起到良好的宣传广告作用。
英语产品说明书一般由标题(包括副标题)和正文两大部分组成。有的说明书在最后还附注厂商的名称。
天气预报
天气预报
天气预报是日常生活中每天都会有的我们经常能够从电视、广播等媒介中了解到它的相关信息。天气预报的内容一般有两大主体,包括对近期的天气情况分析和主要城市的天气情况介绍及气温预报。
天气情况分析(Weather Analysis)
天气情况分析是指在预报某一地区的主要城市天气情况和气温报告前,对某一地区所作的总体天气情况分析,例如气压、气流、云团的变化等等。一般是一个大范围的预测,时间可以预计到两三天甚至一周之内。
主要城市天气预报(Weather Forecast for Major Cities)
城市天气预报是对某地区的主要城市所作的天气情况(如晴、阴、雨、雪、多云、风力、风向等)的预报和气温报告,如今在很多大城市的天气预报中,还加入了空气污染指数,人体舒适度指数,穿衣出行指数等相关信息,使天气预报更人性化
食谱
食谱
食谱是指介绍菜肴的原料、制作及烹饪的工序与方法的小短文,一般在家庭中的应用比较广泛,食谱的内容一般包括菜肴名称、用料、烹饪工序以及食法等。食谱与菜谱(menu)不同,菜谱是指饭店、餐馆使用的印有菜名和菜价的目录单,供客人查询,而食谱主要是教会人们如何亲自动手制作出一道美味可口的菜,从而满足并丰富人们的生活
广告
广告
广告是人们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,一则好的广告应该做到形式上新颖独特,以达到成上引起读者或听者注意的目的。
英语广告的结构(The Structure of English Advertising)
一则完善的书面广告应由以下五部分组成:
1)标题(headline),有的有副标题(subheadline);
2)正文(body text);
3)口号(slogan);
4)商标(trademark);
5)插图(illustration)。
以上五部分中,前三部分为语言文字(verbal)部分,是广告的主体部分;后两部分为非语言文字(nonverbal)部分,是广告的辅助性部分。
广告创意的基本原则(AIDMA Principle of Advertising)
一则好的英语广告,要求能够做到引起读者注意、激起读者兴趣、唤起读者欲望、让读者过目不忘、使读者采取行动。
广告语言的特征(Features of Advertising Language)
一般说来,广告语言都比较简明、形象、生动而口语化。因为它不仅要充分地宣传、介绍该广告的内容,又要想方设法地节省篇幅和时间。总之,广告的目的在于宣传,广告制作人应在撰写广告时作认真选择,反复推敲
贺卡
贺卡
在现代社会交际当中,贺卡扮演着越来越重要的角色。每当节日、生日、庆典等喜庆日子以及各种周年纪念日快来时,亲朋好友之间寄上一张精美的贺卡,致以良好的祝愿,以示庆贺。这样既有利于感情沟通,又能起到加深友谊的作用。贺卡可以购置,也可自己制作。贺卡的书写格式为:上端写上: To Mr.(Mrs., Professor, Miss, Director, Dean, President, etc.)××,其中的“To” 也可省去;下端写成:From ××,其中的“From” 同样的可以省略。正文写上: Wishing You A Happy New Year(A Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, etc.),其中的“Wishing you”可以省略不写,也可代之以“With Best Wishes for”。
其中:“A Happy New Year”中的“A”也可省略。
例1:
To Mr.and Mrs.Brown
With Best Wishes for
A Merry Christmas
From Ronald Frye
日记
日记
日记是对每天所发生的和所做的事情的记录,有的日记则兼记对这些事情的感受。日记一般可分为两种类型,即伤痛 事型日记和抒情型日记。
My love is the human race—not, of course, the corrupt, servile, idle race that we too ofte
n meet.I love the great, fine possibilities, even in a corrupt people.I love the race of the centurise to come...We live in a time when everything is working toward amelioration.These seeds of enlightenment, these silent wishes and strivings toward the education of the race,...will yield glorious fruit.This is the sacred goal of my wishes and my activity—to plant the seeds which will ripen in another generation.启事
启事
启事是一种公告性的应用文。机关、团体或个人若有事情要向群众公开说明,或者对群众有什么要求,都可以把要说的意思简要地写成启事,张贴于布告栏等公共场所。特别重要的或涉及面较广的,往往还要登报。
启事的种类繁多,日常生活中常用的有:遗失启事、招领启事、征稿启事等等。
例1
Directions: Suppose you carelessly lost a Longman Modern English Dictionary in the reading room.Please write a notice of about 100 words, titled Lost.Lost

* 此为寻人启示,要写明所寻失踪者的信息,以及走失时间与原因,语言要求朴实、真诚,给读者以同情之感。
自我介绍
自我介绍
在社交场合以及日常生活中,自我介绍都是少不了的。例如:与生人相见,老师给新生上课前,领导到新单位就职等都需要作一番自我介绍,然而如何做好自我介绍却并非易事。
一般情况下,自我介绍的内容和形式应取决于所在场所的气氛和对象。自我介绍通常分为两类,即非正式场合自我介绍和正式场合自我介绍。当然,自我介绍大多指的是在非正式场合,因为正式场合会有人专门作介绍的。
自我介绍的语言要求诚恳、谦逊,切忌夸大其词、目中无人。其内容长短应适中,少则五六句多则一二十句即可。
海报
海报
海报是人们日常生活中极为常见的一种招贴形式,多用于电影、戏曲、比赛、文艺演出等活动。海报中通常要写清楚活动的性质,活动的主办单位、时间、地点等内容。海报的语言要求简明扼要,形式要做到机关报颖美观。
海报的格式,通常有三部分组成,即标题、正文与落款。
海报的标题对于海报的宣传极为重要。因此标题的撰写昼做到简洁明快,新颖醒目,抓住读者的注意力,海报的标题形式通常有两种:一是直接使用“海报”(Poster)一词;另一种则是根据海报的内容,撰写标题。
海报正文是海报的核心部分,它是对海报标题的具体描述。语言要求形象生动,简明扼要。做到既有鼓动性,又不夸大其辞。正文的常见表现形式有:简介说明式,文学描述式,美术设计式。

现代社会,人们在实现自我推销时,外语能力成了一项不容忽视的条件。因而,一份简洁,明了、富有说服力的英文简历会帮助你实现自我推销的目的。
在英语中,简历一般采用Resume 或 Curriculum Vitea 一词,偶尔也有Data Sheet或Vita,Vitae 的用法。
简历是就业时不可缺少的材料。它不是对自己的经历以及经验的一一列举,而是列出主要的且密切相关的材料。例如:经验、业绩、能力、性格等等,然后将这些相关信息用简洁有力的文字表达出来。写简历时,应身临其境地设想是推销员,并把自己当作产品推销。简历是人们寻求职业的重要手段,也是争取就业机会的第一关,因此,它必须写得出色,以便吸引雇主。通常一份成功的简历要遵循下列准则:
1)展现自己的优势和特长;

摘要--概述
文章摘要是对所写文章主要内容的精炼概括。美国人称摘要为“Abstract”,而英国人则喜欢称其为“Summary”。
通常国际刊物要求所要刊登的文章字数,包括摘要部分不超过1万字。而对文章摘要部分的字数要求则更少。因此,写摘要时,应用最为简练的语言来表达论文之精华。论文摘要的重点应放在所研究的成果和结论上。
国际会议要求的论文摘要的字数不等,一般为200字-500字。而国际刊物要求所刊登的论文摘要的字数通常是100字-200字。摘要的位置一般放在一篇文章的最前面,内容上涵盖全文,并直接点明全旨。语言上要求尽量简炼。摘要通常多采用第三人称撰写。
科学书籍、论文和学术报告一般都附有内容摘要,这样可以节省读者的时间,使他们不必读完整个文章就能够了解它的主要内容。书籍摘要,一般放在封二或封三;论文和学术报告的摘要,一般放在正文前面。摘要应做到简明扼要,切题,能独立成文,使读者能准确地了解书籍的要义。写摘要时,最好用第三人称的完整的陈述句,文长一般不超过200个词。
摘要分陈述性的(Descriptive)和资料性的(Informational)两类。陈述性摘要只陈述书籍或文章的主题,不介绍内容。资料性的摘要除了介绍主题外,还应介绍文章的要点和各个要点的主要内容。
它可以包括三个组成部分
①点明主题,解析文章或书籍的目的或意图;
②介绍主要内容,使读者迅速了解文章或书籍的概貌;
③提出结论或建议,以供读者参考。

Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.MEMO
August 16,2004
To:The leader of student service department
From: Li Ming
Subject:Telephone
Dear Sir,I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory.As a university student, we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers, friends and people outside the campus.We need a telephone to get and send message, which is important for us.Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address, a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication.I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.Regards.Yours,Li Ming
*“remind”一词用法比较多,可以在后面直接接人或宾格,如“提醒我”译为please remind me.如果提醒某人某事则用remind somebody of something,也可以在后面加从句,即“remind sb that”,remind还有一个意思为“使想起”同样用remind…of…的结构,应注意与提醒某事区分。
例2
Directions:You are supposed to write a Memorandom of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experiment.It should include:
1)Why you need the microscope.2)When you need it.MEMO

*这是一封备忘录,在写备忘录的时侯,一定要注意它的格式,尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的,用From: To:两个单词即可。文中的“badly”是“非常的,迫切的”意思。短语“in order to”同下句的“so that”意思是一样的即:为了,目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句,类似的短语还有“in order that”,用法与“so that”相同。
例3
Directions: If you are the teacher of the students’ Counseloris office: P: steelpes, and you have received a letter for requesting for paid education leave from a student.Write him a memo to reply him including details:

In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in English literature, I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave.While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge, we feel that English literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization.I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you cou
ld gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.If you need another information on the above, do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.P.Steels
* 首先要注意本篇备忘录的格式很标准。然后注意这个备忘录的个别词的用法,譬如:be aware of 注意到、当心的意思,point out 指出,request for 要求,in response to 反馈。
例4
Directions: You are a supervisor of a big company.The chief of operations wants to adopt the“punch-in”system to increase productivity.Write a memo to talk about this:

From: Tony.Party , Supervisor
Subject: Comments on the “Punch-in” System
Date: March.22, 2004
This is further to your memo dated March.20, 2004, in which you proposed that employees adopt the “punch-in” system.I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity.As far as your proposal that if the “punch-in” system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned.However, I don’t think so.I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster.I feel that if we(the supervisors)could meet with you , we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.Tony Party
* 此篇是对一篇备忘录的回复。生产主管认为实行打孔考勤制度(“punch-in”system),有利于增加生产效率。但督察却不这样认为。他认为“should give the employees more incentives to work faster”。
例5

备忘录--概述
备忘录--概述
备忘录是一种录以备忘的公文。在公文函件中,它的等级是比较低的,主要用来提醒、督促对方,或就某个问题提出自己的意见或看法。在业务上,它一般用来补充正式文件的不足。它的内容可以分为以下几项:
书端(Heading);
收文人的姓名、头衔、地址(Addressee’s Name, Title, Address);
称呼(Salutation);
事因(Subject);
正文(Body);
结束语(Complimentary Close);
署名(Signature)。
备忘录--注意事项
书端部分包括发文机关的名称、地址、发文日期,有的还包括电报挂号、电传号、电话号码等。许多机关有自己特制的信笺,在写书端时,其格式和标点符号的使用与一般信件的相同。收文人(或收文单位)的姓名、头衔、地址一项写在左上角编号处的下面,其格式与书信的写法相同。
称呼从左边顶格写起,对一般机关、团体的负责人一般用 Dear Sir,对政府官员可用 Sir。
“事因”一项目前采用得较少。它可放在称呼语之前,也可放在其后,前面可加 Re或Docket, Subject。如果此项写在称呼语之前,多从左边的顶格写起;若放在称呼语之后,一般写在信笺正中。它多采用不完整的句子,只需很少几个词,甚至一个词,目的在于使收文人对文中的主要内容一目了然,便于及时处理。
正文、结束语和署名等项与一般信件的格式相同。

2)detailed what you are going to do with it.3)how long will you take it.Tuesday
Dear Xiao Wang:
I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electonic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!
Yours ever
×××
*字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具,但是千万不能直接从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”,而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。
“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,后面接受影响的人或物,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good,反之,就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great,remarkable也可以用来修饰effect,此词在这里是名词。

便笺(便条)和短信--分类举例--道歉
(Apology)
人非圣贤,孰能无过。在社会交往中,人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情,就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解,不影响感情,在这种情况下,应写信给对方予以解释,以请求谅解。
此类信要写得及时,态度要诚恳,用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚,然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。
例1
Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th
Dear Lily,I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.×××
* 临时有事未能赴约,一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉,最好能有弥补(to make up),就像这封信里所说的那样,邀请对方周末再碰头(I would like to ask you out this weekend)注意英文句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法:情态动词+完成时态,表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。
例2
Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April
Dear Lucy,I do appologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time?
Thank you very much.×××
* 自己家里有客人,自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词,可以加上助动词,例如:
I do apologize for being late.He did come yesterday.例3
Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 a.m
Dear Jane,I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our datd in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’ e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s suddenly and urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time?
Many thanks.×××
* 因有事而不能赴约,只能另约时间(to make或to fix another time)。写信人Bluce很可能是英国人,因为他把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up,美国人通常说to call somebody。英国人打电话还可以说 to give somebody a ring,不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时,应说明原因并诚恳地道歉,以期获得别人的谅解。

* 约朋友一起去看戏,可是朋友不在家,只好留下票子和一张便条,但又怕朋友来不了,所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了,告诉我一声”(Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming)此文的wait for也可以用expect 代替。

×××
*本文是一封请假条,一般我们要向上级或老师请假,通常用的是ack for leave这个短语,请三天假可写作:ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法,文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”,含有更加郑重的意味,常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中,“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的,“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as.后面跟名词性结构,意为“涉及到,至于”与Concerning同意,两者可以互换。
例2
Directions:Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include.1)the cause for leaving;
2)the days: from 16th to 21 st;
3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th
Dear Miss Huang,My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours,×××
*本格式采用The Semi-indented Form(半缩进式),以前比较流行,现在人们也继续采用。I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语,表示“结果……,我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。as soon as意思是一……就。
便笺(便条)和短信--概述
便笺(便条)和短信--概述
便条也是书信的一种形式。它的特点是内容简短,主要有临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。跟正规书信相比,便条的语言比较口头化,比如要通知某事只需这样开头:Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。另外,在便条中常出现省略现象,例如:“key to back door is under mat.”或者“key to back door under mat.”(后门钥匙在垫子下面)代之以“The key to the back door is under the mat.”。
结束时也无需结尾礼词,只需写上写便条者姓名。如果是关系比较近的人,则只需写上姓或名。
便笺(便条)和短信--注意事项
1.词句简洁,尽量避免应酬语和各种敬词
2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。
便条的日期通常写在右上角。一般只写上星期几或者星期几上午或下午,也可写上午、下午的具体时刻。日常应用中,写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份,因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。写便条时,不得事先准备,因此无固定格式,大多用手写。

第三篇:考研英语应用文写作
随着2011考研报名工作的正式启动,1月份的考试离我们越来越近了,要参加2011考研的考生神经又要绷紧一些了。这里,与大家分享一下有关考研英语写作中书信写作的方法常用技巧等,掌握了这些,相信此类题型的提分会有很大帮助。
书信题型写作是应用文写作中常见的功能性写作形式,书信写作的准备一是宏观,就是要掌握它的格式,基本框架,就是先写什么,后写什么;二是微观,具体到语言如何使用。
一、书信写作考察的结构
① 日期,写信人应将写信日期(年,月,日)放在书信正文的右上角,如Jan.30th, 2010。提醒:考研书信写作没有要求考生必须写时间,如果没有把握自己的时间书写格式是正确的,建议考生不要写,以免出错反而扣分。
② 称呼,称呼是写信人对收信人的称谓,称呼可以根据收信人的性别,职务,婚姻状况,姓名等个人信息来写,如:Mr.Williams, Mrs.Bush, Professor Li, Dr.Smith, Dear Mum and Dad
如果写信人不清楚收信人的具体姓名,职务等情况,可以写:Dear Sir or Madam, To whom it may concern。
③ 正文,正文是书信的主要部分,在称呼下方隔一或两行处开始。考生写正文时,要分层次进行。书信正文通常由引言,展开段和结尾三个层次组成。
· 引言,引言表明写信人的写信目的和写信背景,一般仅限于一段,一两句话即可。
提醒:此处考生容易犯一个错误:照抄题目的表达,甚至原句,这是一个严重的错误,在阅卷过程至少会扣到2分,希望广大考生要注意。
· 展开段,展开段内容应详实,具体。可以分为若干段来写,每一段围绕一个主题展开。提醒:提醒广大考生,题干中的要点必须全部包含,考生若是在漏掉一个要点(一般小作文有3个要点)会至少扣掉3分。
· 结尾,结尾部分通常比引言部分短,使用一两句话表达一下希望或祝愿。
④ 结束语,结束语是写信人对收信人的谦称,写在正文下面二至三行处。公务等较正式的信件多采用Yours sincerely, Sincerely yours, Yours faithfully, Yours truly 等;私人信件,多采用Yours, With love, Yours affectionately 等。
⑤ 签名,签名应写在结束语的下面。
二、主体段语言的操作
书信按照指令边想边写。主体第一段一句话,开门见山,提出写信的目的,表明信的性质:是投诉信还是申请信还是请求信?我为什么要写这封信?常用句式包括:
I am writing to complain about...I am writing to thank...for.../express my gratitude for...I am writing to ask for...I am writing to apply for...正文第二段,100个字左右,8、9句话。
此段写作的中心任务是把题目中的提纲进行扩展。如果有3条提纲,可以每一条提纲扩充3句。怎么样扩充,主要是发挥点小小的想象力,有两种思路,一是将上义拆分成为若干下义,二是把一件事情说得更为形象具体。比如第一条指令,题目里面说是books,可以细化为各种各样的书,这就是下义拆分法。还可以具体描写一下这些书是什么样子的。同样第二个指令里面的methods of payment,和第三个指令里面的time and way of delivery都可以采用这两种方法进行扩展。
结尾,一般为礼貌性的套话,一般都是焦急等待着您的回信I am looking forward to your reply足以,或者I would appreciate it if you could send a replay at your earliest convenience也行。
以下为书信写作中常用的经典句型参考,希望大家在写作中活学活用。
常用起首语
1)I am much pleased to inform you that.......2)I wish to apply for the teaching position you are offering.3)Your kind letter of November 22th arrived this morning.4)In reply to your letter dated July 4, I want to say...5)Thank you for your letter dated Dec.22, 2000.6)Many thanks for your letter of Sept.5,1997.7)A thousand thanks for your kind letter of June 5,1997.8)Your letter which arrived this morning gave me great comfort.9)Thank you very much for your letter of August 2 and the gift you sent me on Christmas Eve.10)First of all,I must thank you for your kind assistance and high attention to me.11)With great delight I learn from your letter of this Sunday that...12)I am too excited and delighted at your good news.13)I am very obliged to you for your warm congratulations....常用结束语

第四篇:考研英语应用文写作备忘录
考研英语应用文写作备忘录模板
考研英语应用文写作备忘录模板 2006-6-6 16:27
一、概述
备忘录是一种录以备忘的公文。在公文函件中,它的等级是比较低的,主要用来提醒、督促对方,或就某个问题提出自己的意见或看法。在业务上,它一般用来补充正式文件的不足。它的内容可以分为以下几项: 书端(Heading)
收文人的姓名、头衔、地址(Addressee‘s Name,Title,Address)称呼(Salutation)事因(Subject)正文(Body)
结束语(Complimentary Close)署名(Signature)
二、备忘录写作注意事项
1、书端部分包括发文机关的名称、地址、发文日期,有的还包括电报挂号、电传号、电话号码等。许多机关有自己特制的信笺,在写书端时,其格式和标点符号的使用与一般信件的相同。
2、称呼从左边顶格写起,对一般机关、团体的负责人一般用 Dear Sir,对政府官员可用Sir.3、正文、结束语和署名等项与一般信件的格式相同。“事因”一项目前采用得较少。
三、经典范文(共有5篇范文)例1 Directions: Write a memorandum of about 100 words to the student service department and ask them to fix a telephone for each dormitory.MEMO
August 16,2005 To: The leader of student service department From: Li Ming Subject: Telephone Dear Sir,I would like to remind you that we are in want of a telephone for each dormitory.As a university student,we need to cope with the daily increasing communications with teachers,friends and people outside the campus.We need a telephone to get and send message,which is important for us.Though most of us have mobile phones and e-mail address,a telephone in the dormitory is after all the most convenient and cheapest tool of communication.I hope that you will pay attention to this problem and solve it as soon as possible.Regards.Yours,Li Ming 注:“remind”一词用法比较多,可以在后面直接接人或宾格,如“提醒我”译为“please remind me”。如果提醒某人某事则用“remind somebody of something”,也可以在后面加从句,即“remind sb that”,“remind”还有一个意思为“使想起”同样用“remind„of„”的结构,应注意与提醒某事区分。
例2 Directions:You are supposed to write a Memorandom of about 100 words to the leader of the supply section to borrow one more microscope for your biological experiment.It should include: 1)Why you need the microscope.2)When you need it.考研英语应用文写作备忘录模板
MEMO
August 12,2005 To: Mr.Gates,leader of the supply section From:Li Ming of the biological laboratory Subject:Microscope Dear Sir,I'm a student of biology department and we are badly in need of an extra microscope in order to improve our experimental work.Our experiment will start on Friday,so please issue a microscope to us as soon as possible so that we can prepare better for the experiment.With kind regards.Yours sincerely,Li Ming 注:在写备忘录的时侯,一定要注意它的格式,尤其要在开头写清楚是谁写给谁来备忘的,用“From: /To:”两个单词即可。文中的“badly”是“非常的,迫切的”意思。短语“in order to”同下句的“so that”意思是一样的即:为了,目的是。不同的是前者后接动词原型而后者常跟目的状语从句,类似的短语还有“in order that”,用法与“so that”相同。例3 Directions:If you are the teacher of the students'Counseloris office:P.steelpes,and you have received a letter for requesting for paid education leave from a student.Write him a memo to reply him including details:
1)The result of his requirement.2)The reason for rejecting.3)some suggestions You should write about 100 words.To: Records Section From:P.steelpes,Career Planning Subject:Request for Paid Education Leave Date:May 22,2005 In response to your request for one year of paid education leave to take a degree in English literature,I have to inform you that we cannot authorize this leave.While we appreciate your desire to improve your knowledge,we feel that English literature is not directly related to your present position and to the goals of this organization.I am aware of your great interest in literature,and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.If you need another information on the above,do not hesitate to keep touch with me at any time.P.steelpes 注:首先要注意本篇备忘录的格式很标准。然后注意这个备忘录的个别词的用法,譬如:be aware of 注意到、当心的意思,point out 指出,request for 要求,in response to 反馈。
例4 Directions:You are a supervisor of a big company.The chief of operations wants to adopt the“punch-in”system to increase productivity.Write a memo to talk about this: 1)Does the 'punch-in“system benefit the company?
考研英语应用文写作备忘录模板
2)If the company doesn't adopt it,what else can we do to increase productivity.You should write about 100 words.To:David Green,Chief of Operations From:Tony Party,Supervisor Subject:Comments on the ”Punch-in“ System Date:March.22,2005 This is further to your memo dated March.20,2004,in which you proposed that employees adopt the ”punch-in“ system.I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity.As far as your proposal that if the ”punch-in" system is adopted,we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned.However,I don't think so.I personally think that,to accomplish this,we should give the employees more incentives to work faster.I feel that if we(the supervisors)could meet with you,we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.Tony Party 注:此篇是对一篇备忘录的回复。生产主管认为实行打孔考勤制度(“punch-in”system),有利于增加生产效率。但督察却不这样认为。他认为“should give the employees more incentives to work faster”。
例5 Directions:You are a manager of administration office naming Vera.M.Bradford.The board of directors have decided to anew the Fitness Center.Write a memo to tell all the employees that:
1)How long will this project be last for?
2)Welcome the employees to provide suggestions.You should write about 100 words.To:Every Employees From:Brian Aponte Date:November 18,2005 Subject:Fitness Center The board of directors approved the idea for anew Fitness Center at its meeting yesterday.Work on the Fitness Center will begin right now and should be completed within 90 days.An employee representative from each division will be appointed to determine the type of equipment and programs that will be made available.We are happy to be able to provide a facility that will contribute to the physical fitness of all our employees.Your representative on the task force will contact you soon for your suggestions about activities and equipment.Brian Aponte Administration Office,Manager 注:这是一篇关于公司修建健身中心的备忘录。备忘录中说健身中心工作马上开始而且“completed within 90 days”。而且希望各部门代表与主办部门联系,征求关于活动和设备的意见
第五篇:考研英语应用文写作攻略
考研英语应用文写作攻略
虽然大纲中罗列了多种应用文类型,包括:投诉信,建议信,申请信,求职信,辞职信,求学信,求助信,感谢信,号召信,邀请信,道歉信,摘要,简历,备忘录,寻物启事,招领启事等,但是在具体的实践中,常常考到的是书信和摘要。尤其在近几年的考研中,应用文写作考的最多的就是书信体应用文。因此本章将详细讲解各类书信以及摘要的写作方法。
投诉信又可称为抱怨信,其主要目的是表达写信人对于某一情况的不满。人们在生活中经常会遇到一些不愉快的事情,比如消费利益受损、正常生活和工作受到干扰等等,有时写封投诉信不失为一个解决办法。
投诉信通常包括以下几个方面的内容:说明投诉的原因并表示遗憾;实事求是地阐述问题发生的经过,切忌夸大其词;指出问题引起的后果;提出批评及处理意见,或敦促对方采取措施,或提出所希望的赔偿以及补救方式。
投诉信的写作策略:说明投诉问题——描述具体情况——期待解决方案。
注意事项:写投诉信时语气要冷静、郑重、克制,不必过于礼貌。但也要就事论事,不能进行人身攻击。同时,在描述问题时尽量采用被动句式,使描述更加客观合理。
例题一
Directions:
You bought an iPhone in a store last week, and you have found that there is something wrong with it.Write a letter to the store manager to explain the problem, express your complaints and suggest a solution.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Li Ming”instead.Do not write the address.(10 points)
范文:
Dear Manager,I venture to write to complain about the quality of the iPhone I bought last Friday at your store.I hope I can have a good solution to the problem facing me.During the five days when the iPhone has been in my possession, problems of software have emerged one after another.For one thing, the screen is always black, making the iPhone no difference from a traditional one.For another, the battery is distressing as it supports the iPhone’s operation for only two hours.Therefore, I wish to exchange it for another one or declare a refund.I will appreciate it if my problem receives due attention.Yours,Li Ming
尊敬的经理:
我很冒昧给您写这封信,投诉我上周五在您商店里购买的iPhone手机的质量问题。我也希望我的问题能有很好的解决。
购买至今的五天中,各种软件问题一个接一个地出现。一方面,手机屏幕总是黑屏,我使用起来仿佛和传统手机没有区别。另一方面,电池的状况也不尽如人意,只能让手机工作两个小时。因此,我希望可以换一个新机,否则我要求退款。
我希望这个问题能够得到足够的重视。

Dear Sir or Madam,I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next term.I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior.For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him;for another, he regularly holds noisy parties.In addition, he sometimes borrows my things without asking me.In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions.Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.Yours sincerely,Li Ming
尊敬的女士或先生:

我提出这一要求是因为我室友做事从不考虑别人。他总有朋友来拜访,还常举行喧闹的聚会。并且,有时他还不经我同意就借走了我的东西。在这种情况下,我觉得没法专心学习,我现在功课就落后了。
我相信您也会觉得解决的办法是换个单间,那样我就不会受到这些干扰了。如果您能帮我找到一间单人房我将不胜感激。我还希望新宿舍不要和现在的宿舍在同一幢楼内,而是离学校越近越好。
