书信题型写作

　　 书信题型写作是常见的功能性写作形式，考生应该对书信写作的具体细节有整体的把握。

　　1) 书信写作要点：

　　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. 20th , 2004。

　　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。

　　·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进行展开。

　　·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。

　　2) 书信题型写作实例

　　① 试题题目：

　　Directions:

　　A. Write a job application letter of about 200 words

　　B. Your letter should cover these three points:

　　1. apply for the position of production coordinator

　　2. describe your education background

　　3. state your relevant working experience

　　② 参考范文：

　　Dear Sir,

　　I am responding to your ad in the June 20th, 2003, issue of the Sunday Talent Journal for the position of production coordinator. I feel that my background in electronics and manufacturing will fit in well at your printed circuit board manufacturing facility.

　　I will graduate from the Beijing Science & Technology University in June with a Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering. I have had extensive training on computers while at school. In my Production and Inventory class, I learned about computerized production and material scheduling in a job shop environment. While working for the Ministry of Energy and Transportation, I wrote a program to control the flow of equipment being checked out from the electronics lab.

　　As shown in my resume, I have also repaired and installed fire alarm, security, and patient-signal systems when I worked at Johnson Controls. Most of the time I faced construction deadlines so I know what it is like to work under pressure. My duties as the supervisor for the electronics lab involved assigning jobs, coordinating schedules, training new employees, and working with the department chairman when needed.

　　I am looking forward to hearing from you. Would you please call me to set up an interview? I can be reached at my resume address or by phoning (010) 2357-7980 after 4 p.m.
