第一篇:2016年英语四级写作:书信的格式与要求
http://www.xiexiebang.com/cet46/ 年英语四级写作:书信的格式与要求
2016年6月的英语四级时隔九年之后首次考了一道应用文写作,虽然出乎意料,但是大家可以根据题干中的关键词“letter”迅速判断今年要写的是书信。书信本身难度不大,但是需要特别注意英文书信的书写格式。下面,小编为大家具体介绍一下。一、四级书信格式要求
1、抬头:收件人的姓名
2、正文:三段式
3、落款:祝福(yours sincerely)+写信人名
二、感谢信格式模板:
Dear ______,I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for __________________(感谢的原因).If it had not been for your assistance in __________________(对方给你的具体帮助), I fear that I would have been___________________(没有对方帮助时的后果).No one would disagree that it was you who___________________________(给出细节).Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you!Please accept my gratitude.Best wishes.http://www.xiexiebang.com/cet46/ Yours sincerely,Li Ming
(注意:抬头的Dear+人名顶格靠左写,后面一定要加逗号!落款yours sincerely和写信人名顶格靠右写,yours sincerely后面也一定要加逗号!Yours sincerely为书信的惯用套话,这个必须得有!)
三、真题解析
再来看看6月份第三套试卷的写作。写作要求让自己写一封感谢信来表达你对帮助自己克服困难的朋友的感谢。虽然书信大家可能在复习的时候准备的较少,但其实只要抓住了书信的基本格式,即多了抬头和落款,正文的写作应该较为简单,尤其是第二段,大家可以按照熟悉的原因分析段的方式来写。
1、写作思路:
第一段:表明对朋友的感谢并点题;
第二段:朋友用哪些方式帮我在哪些方面克服了困难
第三段:再次表示对朋友诚挚的感谢并祝愿朋友身体健康。
2、范文:
Dear Tom,http://www.xiexiebang.com/cet46/ I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your great help when I failed that vital English interview.If it had not been for your assistance in giving me those brilliant suggestions and warm encouragement, I fear that I would have lost my way.No one would disagree that it was you who stayed with me and pulled me through the hard time.First and foremost, you told me it is the priority for me to calm down.This is due to the fact that the ability to stay sober and positive made me come up with quite a few ideas to cope with the consequence that failure triggered.Furthermore, you made me learn to analyze my lack of interview skills and find solutions.Plenty of evidence has shown that this work played an indispensable role in my success the next year.Last but not the least, you helped to build my confidence.Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you!Please accept my gratitude.Best wishes.Yours sincerely,Li Ming
希望以上内容对大家有帮助。

第二篇:英语四级英文书信写作要领及参考
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.March 15, 2002
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.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:

A Letter to a Roommate
March 16, 2002
Dear Xiao Zhang,March 16, 2002Dear 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

第四篇:英语四级作文最新写作要求与技巧
英语四级作文最新写作要求与技巧
英语四级考试作文的评分依据是:文章切题,条理清楚语言准确和字数符合要求,所谓切题就是要求考生紧扣文章大纲;条理则要求考生词汇、语法运用不出错误;四级作文的字数要求一般是不少于100字。要在30分钟的时间内,达到这些要求,没有一套行之有效的方法显然是不行的。在这里,我们为大家提供四级写作的一般技巧。
一、审题
1.审体裁(议论文,说明文,描述文)
审题就是要审作文的题材和体裁。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括那些呢?它包括议论文,说明文和描述文。从近些年看,四级作文不是单一的体裁,而是几种体裁的糅合体。例如:
Directions:For this part,your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic
Trying to Be A Good University Student.You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below: 做合格大学生的必要性
做合格大学生的必备条件(可以从德智体方面谈)
我计划怎样做
很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。这是片面的,因为,第一段要求写“„必要性”,则是议论文;第二段要求写“„必备条件”,则要求写说明文;第三段要求写“„这样做”,则要求写描述文。所以在大多数情形下,四级作文是三种体裁的糅合体。
2.确定相应的写作方法
我们审题的目的就是根据不同体裁确定不同的写作方法。通过审题,我们可以看出四级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体,第二段为说明体,第三段为描述体。而各种文体又有不同的写作方式:议论文:要有论点和论据,而且往往从正反两方面来论述。例如上面第一段的思路是:做合格大学生,会怎么样(这是从正面论述);不能做合格的大学生,又会怎么样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结论)。说明文:可以从几方面来说明一个问题,可以从德智体三方面来说明合格大学生的必要性。描述文:以“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。与上两段相比,本段的主语多为人称代词,他要与第二段相呼应进行描述。
二、确定主题句
审完题后,接下来就是如何写的问题。第一步就是确定主题句,主题句既能保证你不跑题,又能帮助你制定写作思路。而写主题句最保险的方法就是直接翻译中文提纲,如上述之段主题句为:
It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议论体的主题句)
There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(说明体的主题句)
What I will do in the future is the following.(描述体的主题句)
三、组织段落
确定主题句后,接下来的工作就是展开论述。许多考生真正犯难的也是这一步。最基本的解决办法是扩大词汇量,丰富自己的语法存储。在写作时,语法和词汇都是最基本的。然而,组织段落的能力也是尤为重要的(接下来的连贯与衔接部分,我们更为详细的为大家讲解)。行文时,不只是提供一些information,还要学会运用一些examples,personal experiences,comparisions,descriptions等等,只有这样,才不会觉得无话可“写”。
四、连贯与衔接
1.列举法
列举的模式通常是
主题句----example 1
----example 2
----example 3
列举时常用for example, for instance, such as, like,thus, take„as an example, to illustrate 等词语.Nonverbal communication, or “body language,” is communication by facial expressions, head or eye movements, hand signals, and body postures.It can be just as important to understanding as words are.Misunderstandings are often amusing but sometimes serious ones can arise between people from different culture if they misinterpret nonverbal signals.Take for example, the differences in meaning of gesture are very common in the United States: a circle made with the thumb and index finger.To an American, it means that everything is Ok.To a Japanese, it means that you are talking about money.In France, it means that something is worthless, and in Greece, it is an obscene gesture.Therefore, an American could unknowingly offend a Greek by using that particular hand signal.2.分类法
一般是在主题句之后,依次罗列段落指示词所表达的几个部分或几个方面。然后,选用丰富的事例对所罗列的各个部分或各个方面进行具体地说明或解释。
There are three basic kinds of materials that can be found in any good library.First, there are books on all subjects, both in English and in many other languages.These books are organized according to subject, title, and author in a central file canned the card catalog.Books can generally be checked out of the library and taken home for a period of two to four weeks.Second, there are reference works,which include
encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliography, atlases, etc., and which generally must be used in the library itself.Third, there are periodicals-magazines, newspapers, pamphlets-which are filed
alphabetically in racks, or which have been filmed to conserve space.Like reference works, periodicals cannot usually be removed from the library.分类时常用:most of all,next,moreover,in addition,besides,furthermore,to begin with,to start with,first of all,first,second,third„
3.因果关系
在段落一开头,就用主题句点明其因果关系,然后选用有关材料,客观的罗列某些原因或结果,以阐述中心思想。
Growing numbers of well-to-do Americans are making the decision to move abroad.They find it impossible in America to walk the streets at night without fear of being raped, mugged, or murdered, nor do they see a way to escape the poisonous air of the cities.They maintain that even American food has become increasingly dangerous to eat.Last but not least, they insist that they are sick of the pace of American life, a pace that leaves no time for relaxation or pleasure.因果关系常用语汇: because of, so, owing to, thanks to, thus, as a result of, hence, for this reason, consequently, is caused by, lead to, result in
4.比较法
主题句必须明确表明所要比较的对象和所要比较的范围,实际上就是罗列两个或两个以上比较对象的相同点。
Learning English is like building a house.Laying a solid foundation is the first and most important step.In other words, you should read and speak English every day.Memorizing new words and phrases is also helpful.Like building a house, learning English takes some time.So don’t be impatient.Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.常用语汇:at the same time, similar to, accordingly, both, show a degree of similarity, similarly, the same as, and„ too, in the same way, in a like manner
5.举例法
列举事实或举出实例来说明中心思想, 是简单易行、具有说服力的写作方法。Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient,especially when you have something urgent.For example, if one of your family members is seriously ill at night, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor, what can you do? A telephone is the answer.Dial 120 and you will get services from the hospital very soon.
