1、大学英语应用文写作 Still waters run deep.流静水深流静水深,人静心深人静心深 Where there is life,there is hope。有生命必有希望。有生命必有希望 书信是日常生活中常用的文体，是用以交涉事宜、传达信息、交流思想、联络感情、增进了解的重要工具。英文书信分为两大类：私人信件和公务信件。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。公务信件要求比较严格，

2、必须遵循一定的格式。英语书信的结构：英文书信通常包括6个组成部分：信头（heading，包括寄信人地址和日期);信内地址（inside address，指收信人地址);称呼（salutation）;正文（body）;结束语（complimentary）;签名（signature）;有时候还包括附言（postscript）和 附件（attachment）。在考试中，由于篇幅所限，只要求考生在书信中包括称呼、正文、结束语和签名四个部分。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）

3、、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：123TianheRoadTianheDistrictGuangzhou510620GuangdongProvinceP.R.C.March15,2002 发信日期的写法：年份应完全写出，不能简写。月份要用英文名称，不要用数字代替。月份名称多用公认的缩写式。但 May,June,July,因为较短，不可缩写。写日期时，可用基数词1，2，3，4，5，28，29，30，31等，也可用序数词 lst,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,28th,29th,30th,31st等。但最好用基数 词，简单明了。日期可有下列几种写法：Oct.20

4、,2004；10 May.,2004；3rd June,2004；Sept.16th,2004。其中，最为通用。2.信内地址（InsideAddress）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。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：DearProfessor/Prof.Bergen:

5、DearDr.Johnson,对不相识的人可按性别称呼：DearSir:或DearMadam:DearLadies。如果不知收信人的性别则可用DearSirorMadam:3.信的正文（Body of the 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

6、、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。正文写作格式：正文的写作格式主要有英式和美式两种。1)英式结构即缩进式结构缩进式结构，属于比较传统的结构,即每一段的第一行都向里缩进4-8个字符，且所有段落的缩进距离必须保持一致；称呼顶格写，落款则在中间偏右的位置。2)美式结构则是齐头式结构齐头式结构，其特点是所有段落的第一行都顶格写，段与段之间空一行，另外称呼、落款等也都顶格写。商业信函以及电子邮件最好使用齐头式。缩进式：DearKate,IwonderifyoucanlendmeyourMLA Han

9、ringanyinconveniencetoyou.IassureyouthatIwillmaintainthebookingoodcondition.Ifpossible,pleasegivemeacallandIwillcomebyyourhousetopickupthebook.Thanksalot.Yours,Judy4.结束语（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：Trulyyours,Yourstruly,Respectfu

10、llyyours,Yoursrespectfully,Faithfullyyours,Yoursfaithfully,Sincerelyyours,YourssincerelyYourstruly,Yours等。私人信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：Sincerelyyours,Lovelyyours,Yourlovely,Yourlovingson/daughter等。5.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。各种信函类型各种信函类型:一、一、邀请信邀请信(ALet

31、、和缓，要充分表达感激之情。同时，相比较语气直接的疑问句，用一些能够起到提问作用的陈述句更佳。具体写作步骤：首段：简单叙述题目场景，说明写作意图，清楚表明写这封信的目的是要寻求什么样的信息。主体段落：询问具体问题。可以问一些与命题所设置的问题相关的内容，但这些问题必须是与题目本身要求获取的信息是有相关性的。考生也可以自己认为比较重要的问题单独列一个段落，将其内容细化。考生可以根据虚拟的自身情况提出相关的问题。结尾段：表明急切获取信息的心情，提供联系方式以便收信人与你联络，对收信人所能给予的任何帮助都要表示感谢，即使你知道这些帮助是收信人应该做的。在写咨询信时特别要注意使用句式的选择，在询问问题
