英語(yǔ)日記寫(xiě)作指導(dǎo)

英文日記和漢語(yǔ)日記一樣，是用來(lái)記敘一天中所發(fā)生的有意義的事情或?qū)?lái)的打算等。日記可分為記事、議論、描寫(xiě)及抒情等。記事型是用英語(yǔ)記述當(dāng)天自己生活學(xué)習(xí)中發(fā)生的事情。議論型是對(duì)生活中的某一事情或情況現(xiàn)象談自己的看法，發(fā)表議論。描寫(xiě)型或抒情型，則是對(duì)某人物事物的特征做細(xì)致的描述，或針對(duì)某事物抒發(fā)自己的感情。１．格式：

一般是在左上角記上當(dāng)天日期，星期，時(shí)間的排列法與書(shū)信一致，星期寫(xiě)在日期之后；右上角寫(xiě)上當(dāng)天的天氣情況，表示天氣情況的詞一般是形容詞，如：fine（晴朗的），cold（寒冷的），snowy（下雪），sunny（陽(yáng)光充足的），rainy（下雨的），cloudy（陰天的）等。日記的小標(biāo)題寫(xiě)在下一行，也可省略不寫(xiě)。２．時(shí)態(tài)：

寫(xiě)日記的時(shí)間一般是在下午、晚上，有時(shí)也可以在第二天補(bǔ)寫(xiě)。因此，日記中所記述的事情通常發(fā)生在過(guò)去，常用一般過(guò)去時(shí)；但當(dāng)記述天氣、描寫(xiě)景色或展望未來(lái)時(shí)，可以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或一般將來(lái)時(shí)。

寫(xiě)法大致和寫(xiě)漢語(yǔ)日記相同，都是在正文之前有日期、星期幾及當(dāng)天的天氣情況。注意內(nèi)容表達(dá)要清楚連貫、準(zhǔn)確。

（一）英語(yǔ)書(shū)信寫(xiě)作指導(dǎo)

1、書(shū)信寫(xiě)作要求

書(shū)信(Letter)一般可分為事務(wù)信件或公函(Business Letter or Offical Correspondence)以及私人信件

(Private Letter)兩大類(lèi)。一般包括以下幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)： 1）收信人的姓名和地址；

2）寄信人的姓名及其與收信人的關(guān)系； 3）寄信人的地址（有時(shí)可以省略）； 4）寫(xiě)信的時(shí)間； 5）信的內(nèi)容。

2、書(shū)信的格式

1）信頭(Heading)； 2）稱(chēng)呼(Salutation)；

3）正文(Body of the letter)；

4）結(jié)束語(yǔ)(Complimentary close)； 5）簽名(signature)。

（二）書(shū)信的種類(lèi)

(1)邀請(qǐng)信

邀請(qǐng)信有正式和非正式之分，也有介于兩者之間者。正式邀請(qǐng)信一般屬于公函類(lèi)，私人邀請(qǐng)信一般屬于非正式文體。邀請(qǐng)朋友、熟人參加某一聚會(huì)時(shí)，再詞句上不一 定多加斟酌，用詞太正規(guī)倒顯得關(guān)系不密切。但是如果與被邀請(qǐng)人不太熟悉的話(huà)，最好用正式文體。如雖認(rèn)識(shí)但并不十分了解，文體可介于兩個(gè)者之間。由此可見(jiàn)，私人邀請(qǐng)究竟用什么文體，關(guān)鍵看與被邀請(qǐng)人之間的親疏的程度。邀請(qǐng)信要明確寫(xiě)出活動(dòng)（是晚會(huì)、晚餐還是一般的聚會(huì)等）、活動(dòng)的時(shí)間地點(diǎn)組織這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)的理 由，有時(shí)還應(yīng)告訴對(duì)方可能出席的人，另外一般希望對(duì)方給予答復(fù)。

（a）非正式邀請(qǐng)信，如； Coventry St.London Sept.15th, 1999.Dear Jack, I am going to the cinema to see the Red River Valley and I have two tickets.Would you like to come? The film starts at 7:30 p.m.Maybe we can meet at the Covent Garden Station at 7:00 p.m.and have a drink before the film starts.Please phone me at home to let me know.Looking forward to seeing you.Love Mary 這封信是寫(xiě)給朋友的，所以用語(yǔ)比較隨便，比較口語(yǔ)化。（b）正式邀請(qǐng)信，如：

Dear Ms.Gupta;It’s our great pleasure to announce that Jan.19th is the 3rd anniversary of the founding of our corporation.We have a small party as follows: 7:00p.m.,Jan.19th, Room No.123, Kunlun Hotel.At this moment, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our clients for both courtesy and support over the past three years.Please confirm if you plant to attend.Yours Sincerely, Lewis 這是一封正式邀請(qǐng)信，十分正規(guī)，無(wú)論從句式，還是用語(yǔ)都十分講究。(c)介于正式和非正式之間的邀請(qǐng)信，如： No.4 Middle School Beijing 100034 April 29th,2000 Dear Miss Katherine, I am very pleased to write to you.My name is Yu Hong and I am monitor of Class One, Grade Three of the No.2 Middle School of Ji'nan.Last year, you came here to give a speech, which was “Fast Reading”.My classmates and I all thank you very much.We will have an English evening at 7:00--9:00 on the evening of May 4th in our classroom.Would you please come and attend the evening party? At the party, we will sing English songs, play games and so on.And we are anxious to invite you to come to sing us an English song.After that we can enjoy the music.We hope to see you soon.Yours Yu Hong 這封信是寫(xiě)給一位外籍教師的，這位外籍教師曾經(jīng)到過(guò)這所學(xué)校，雖然作者認(rèn)識(shí)，但并不十分了解。(2)感謝信

感謝信可分為感謝饋贈(zèng)、感謝款待、感謝幫助、感謝送行和感謝探病等。

感謝信一般包括以下幾點(diǎn)： ①對(duì)收信人的稱(chēng)謂；

②寫(xiě)信的目的；（Thank you for…）

③致謝并詳述所收到的禮物或得到的幫助等； ④結(jié)尾及謙稱(chēng)。如：

(3)求職信

求職信屬于公務(wù)信函，格式和用詞比較規(guī)。信的內(nèi)容大體上分為三部分 ①寫(xiě)信的目的，②自我介紹，③要求。

注意下面幾點(diǎn)：

①寫(xiě)信的目的要直截了當(dāng)?shù)卦谛诺拈_(kāi)頭提出。②自我介紹部分主要介紹自己的學(xué)歷、工作經(jīng)歷、解決問(wèn)題的能力等等。在行文、用詞上要表現(xiàn)出自信、懇切的態(tài)度，語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)明扼要，突出介紹自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，與眾不同的特長(zhǎng)或有利條件。還要緊扣用人單位的需求，巧用詞語(yǔ)，有國(guó)地說(shuō)服對(duì)方，此職非你莫屬。

③最后提出進(jìn)一步聯(lián)系的途徑，如：時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)。還可以主動(dòng)提出接受面試或考核等。④求職信在寫(xiě)作特點(diǎn)上主要用第一人稱(chēng)以及動(dòng)詞的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。(4)回信

寫(xiě)回信時(shí)應(yīng)特別注意正確理解寫(xiě)信人的意圖、所提問(wèn)題、必須對(duì)寫(xiě)信人的問(wèn)題給予明確的答復(fù)。

（三）書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)

書(shū)寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)信件要注意下面幾點(diǎn)： 英語(yǔ)書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)、書(shū)寫(xiě)款式及要求：

1．書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu) 英語(yǔ)書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)一般有以下幾個(gè)部分組成：

(1)信封（envelope）。英語(yǔ)的信封和中文的一樣，有三部分組成，即發(fā)信人地址、收信人地址和郵票。只不過(guò)英語(yǔ)信封的格式除了郵票所貼的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一樣外，英語(yǔ)信封上要寫(xiě)的發(fā)信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一樣。發(fā)信人的地址應(yīng)寫(xiě)在信封的左上角，收信人的地址應(yīng)寫(xiě)在信封偏中 右偏下處，如下：

Liu Yan-hua

Room 302, No.48, Yanan Road(M)stamp Shanghai, 20040

P.R.China Prof.John Hill 607 North Willington Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 33404

U.S.A.(2)信頭(heading)，即寫(xiě)發(fā)信人的地址和日期（右上角）。信頭位于信的最上方，原則上首先按從小到大的順序（正好與中文書(shū)信相反），門(mén)牌號(hào)碼和街名或單位 名占一行（太長(zhǎng)可占兩行），城鎮(zhèn)名和郵政編碼占一行，國(guó)名占一行。然后是發(fā)信日期，它是信頭的最后一行，可以寫(xiě)成日月年（英式）也可寫(xiě)成月日年（美式），如：May8，1996或8May，1996.必然說(shuō)明的是，月份要寫(xiě)英文名稱(chēng)，否則有可能產(chǎn)生歧義，如5/8/1996，美國(guó)人會(huì)理解為1996年5 月8 日，而英國(guó)人則理解為1996年8 月5 日。

(3)信內(nèi)姓名地址(inside address)，即寫(xiě)收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。封內(nèi)地址必須和信封地址一致，否則就是出了差錯(cuò)，收信人此時(shí)可將信退回或按封內(nèi)地址轉(zhuǎn)寄。封內(nèi)地址 的第一行是收信人姓名，第二行職務(wù)，從第三行開(kāi)始寫(xiě)收信人地址，寫(xiě)出法原則上和寫(xiě)發(fā)信人地址一樣。

(4)稱(chēng)呼(salutation)，即寫(xiě)對(duì)收信人的尊稱(chēng)（一般用Dear Mr.… ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss…,;Dear John,;Dear Professor Smith,等）。稱(chēng)呼應(yīng)與親近程度相吻合。最為正式的也是最不親近的稱(chēng)呼為Dear Sir（英國(guó)用）或Dear Genteman（美國(guó)用），一般用于給政府機(jī)關(guān)、官員的公函中，或用于首次往來(lái)的商業(yè)書(shū)信中。比較熟識(shí)的人由應(yīng)稱(chēng)他的姓，最隨便也是最親近的稱(chēng)呼是直呼其名，一般用于親 朋好友，但應(yīng)注意，稱(chēng)姓時(shí)只稱(chēng)姓，不要又稱(chēng)名，而稱(chēng)名時(shí) 不要加Dr或Mr.如某人全名為William.另外，如果對(duì)方為女性卻不知應(yīng)稱(chēng)Mrs.還是Miss時(shí)可稱(chēng)Ms.。稱(chēng)呼后面的標(biāo)點(diǎn)英國(guó)人習(xí)慣用逗號(hào)，而美國(guó)人習(xí)慣用冒號(hào)（親朋好友之間可用逗號(hào)）。稱(chēng)呼直接寫(xiě)在收信人地址的正下方，中間空一至二行。稱(chēng)呼后面的標(biāo)點(diǎn)一般 只能用逗號(hào)。以上信頭、信內(nèi)姓名和地址三部分的結(jié)構(gòu)如下：

Liu Yan-hua Room 302, No 48, Yanan Road(M)Shanghai 200040 P.R.China June 22, 2002 Prof.John Hill 607

North Willington Avenue

West Palm Beach, Florida 33404 U.S.A.Dear Professor Hill，_____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________

注：如果是相當(dāng)熟悉和隨便的朋友之間，因?yàn)楸舜硕贾缹?duì)方的地址，故信頭和信內(nèi)的地址常常省略。

(5)正文(body)，即信件內(nèi)的主要內(nèi)容,是信的主體，和中文書(shū)信的要求一樣，正文的內(nèi)容要主題突了出、層次清楚、語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔、表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確。如果正文很長(zhǎng)需要幾張信 紙聯(lián)頁(yè)時(shí)，則應(yīng)在每張聯(lián)頁(yè)左上端都注明頁(yè)數(shù)和收信人名稱(chēng)，如：Mr.WilliamJ.Hall。正文第一句句子一般和稱(chēng)呼之間空一至二行。

(6)信尾客套語(yǔ)(complimentary close)，即寫(xiě)信人在信的右（或左）下角，寫(xiě)上表示自己對(duì)收 信人一種禮貌客氣的謙稱(chēng),相當(dāng)于文中書(shū)信最后的“祝好”、“致禮”之類(lèi)的話(huà)語(yǔ)。如：Best wishes。

(7)信尾簽名(signature)，即親筆簽上寫(xiě)信人自己的姓名,如:Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendly yours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,。

如果是用打字機(jī)或電腦寫(xiě)的信，在寫(xiě)信人簽名的上方，同樣應(yīng)該打上寫(xiě)信人的姓名。除以上七個(gè)部分外，有時(shí)一些英語(yǔ)書(shū)信還包括：

(a)附件(Enclosure)，以Enc.表示，如“附有。。。證明”應(yīng)寫(xiě)為Enc…Certificate；(b)再啟（附言）(Postscript)，一封信寫(xiě)完了，突然又想起遺漏的事情，這時(shí)用P.S.表示，再寫(xiě)上遺漏的話(huà)即可，要長(zhǎng)話(huà)短說(shuō)。通常在信末簽名下面幾行的左方，應(yīng)于正文齊頭。注意：在正式的信函中，應(yīng)避免使用附言。.表示；

(c)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…)，以c.c.表示，說(shuō)明一式多份抄送其他有關(guān)人員。這些都是次要的補(bǔ)充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事務(wù)信件中應(yīng)避免使用，以免造成寫(xiě)信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商貿(mào)信函中。

第二篇：英語(yǔ)書(shū)信

英文信件格式

英語(yǔ)信件的種類(lèi)比較多，有一般信件，邀請(qǐng)信，推薦信等。但幾乎所有信件的格式都大同小異。書(shū)寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)信件要注意下面幾點(diǎn)：

（一）英語(yǔ)書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)、書(shū)寫(xiě)款式及要求：

1．書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)

英語(yǔ)書(shū)信結(jié)構(gòu)一般有以下幾個(gè)部分組成：

1）信封（envelope）。英語(yǔ)的信封和中文的一樣，有三部分組成，即發(fā)信人地址、收信人地址和郵票。只不過(guò)英語(yǔ)信封的格式除了郵票所貼的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一樣外，英語(yǔ)信封上要寫(xiě)的發(fā)信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一樣。發(fā)信人的地址應(yīng)寫(xiě)在信封的左上角，收信人的地址應(yīng)寫(xiě)在信封偏中右偏下處，如下：

2）信頭(heading)，即寫(xiě)發(fā)信人的地址和日期（右上角）。3）信內(nèi)姓名地址(inside address)，即寫(xiě)收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。

4）稱(chēng)呼(salutation)，即寫(xiě)對(duì)收信人的尊稱(chēng)（一般用Dear Mr.? ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss?,;Dear John,;Dear Professor Smith,等）。稱(chēng)呼直接寫(xiě)在收信人地址的正下方，中間空一至二行。稱(chēng)呼后面的標(biāo)點(diǎn)一般只能用逗號(hào)。以上信頭、信內(nèi)姓名和地址三部分的結(jié)構(gòu)如下：

注：如果是相當(dāng)熟悉和隨便的朋友之間，因?yàn)楸舜硕贾缹?duì)方的地址，故信頭和信內(nèi)的地址常常省略。

5）正文(body)，即信件內(nèi)的主要內(nèi)容。正文第一句句子一般和稱(chēng)呼之間空一至二行。

6）信尾客套語(yǔ)(complimentary close)，即寫(xiě)信人在信的右（或左）下角，寫(xiě)上表示自己對(duì)收 信人一種禮貌客氣的謙稱(chēng)。一般有Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendly

yours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,等。

7）信尾簽名(signature)，即親筆簽上寫(xiě)信人自己的姓名。如果是用打字機(jī)或電腦寫(xiě)的信，在寫(xiě)信人簽名的上方，同樣應(yīng)該打上寫(xiě)信人的姓名。

除以上七個(gè)部分外，有時(shí)一些英語(yǔ)書(shū)信還包括：（1）附件(Enclosure)，以Enc.表示，如“附有。。。證明”應(yīng)寫(xiě)為Enc?Certificate；（2）再啟(Postscript)，以P.S.表示；（3）抄送件(Carbon Copy to?)，以c.c.表示，說(shuō)明一式多份抄送其他有關(guān)人員。這些都是次要的補(bǔ)充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事務(wù)信件中應(yīng)避免使用，以免造成寫(xiě)信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商貿(mào)信函中。

2．書(shū)寫(xiě)款式

英語(yǔ)書(shū)信的款式一般有兩種：齊頭式(Block Style)和折衷式(Semi-Block Style)。齊頭式常常在商貿(mào)、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以顯示信件內(nèi)容的嚴(yán)肅性，真實(shí)性，可靠性。而折衷式則顯的比較隨便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之間來(lái)往的信件。如果兩人之間不是第一次通信，相互比較了解，可以省略信內(nèi)的雙方地址。以下分別介紹齊頭式和折衷式信件兩種款式。

A: 齊頭式信件款式：（范文 1。）

注：用齊頭式信件寫(xiě)信，其正文與稱(chēng)呼之間空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空

格，但段與段之間需要空一至二行。齊頭式信件的信尾客套話(huà)和簽名可以有兩種款式。第一種寫(xiě)在左下方，這是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以寫(xiě)在右下方，這種形式則表示寫(xiě)信人與收信人之間的關(guān)系比較熟悉隨便。下面是另一種齊頭式信件的格式。

齊頭式信件款式：（范文 2。）

B: 折衷式信件款式： 用折衷式書(shū)寫(xiě)信件，其正文與稱(chēng)呼之間空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一個(gè)單詞必須在Dear稱(chēng)呼的直接下面。以后每段開(kāi)頭都要與第一段第一個(gè)字對(duì)齊。信尾的客套話(huà)和簽名都寫(xiě)在右下方。朋友之間寫(xiě)信一般都使用折衷式，而且稱(chēng)呼與正文之間一般不空行。具體款式和要求參見(jiàn)后面的一些信件。以下是一封折衷式信件。

3．信件書(shū)寫(xiě)要求：

寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)信件一般可以使用打字機(jī)、電腦，朋友之間比較隨便的信件也可以用鋼筆、圓珠筆甚至彩色筆，但不宜用鉛筆。不管你用什么形式書(shū)寫(xiě)，一些重要的信件，簽名處必須用深藍(lán)色或黑色墨水筆簽名。

（二）各類(lèi)常用信件

1）感謝信

2）祝賀信

3）邀請(qǐng)信

4）一般信件

5）商業(yè)信件

6）求學(xué)信

第四篇：英語(yǔ)書(shū)信格式

一 英文書(shū)信的組成部分

英文書(shū)信一般由六部分組成。

信頭（Heading）

信內(nèi)地址（Inside Address）

稱(chēng)呼（Salutation）

正文（Body of Letter）

結(jié)束語(yǔ)（Complimentary Close）

署名（Signature），有時(shí)在書(shū)信后面還有附言（Postscript）、附件（Enclosure），這得視具體情況而定。下面將分別說(shuō)明。

1.信頭（Heading）

信頭是指寫(xiě)信人的地址和寫(xiě)信日期，一般寫(xiě)在或打在第一面信紙的右上角，先寫(xiě)地址再寫(xiě)日期，地址的寫(xiě)法是從小到大，先寫(xiě)門(mén)牌號(hào)、路號(hào)，再寫(xiě)區(qū)名、市名、省名，最后寫(xiě)國(guó)名。時(shí)間的寫(xiě)法對(duì)英國(guó)人和美國(guó)人而言是不同的。英國(guó)人習(xí)慣按日、月、年的順序?qū)?，而美?guó)人習(xí)慣按月、日、年的順序?qū)?。例如?/p>

英式：1st October，1999

美式：October 1，1999

在使用前一種形式時(shí)，月和年之間的逗號(hào)可用可不用，但是在后一種形式中，必需要使用逗號(hào)。

信頭的寫(xiě)法有縮進(jìn)式和齊頭式?？s進(jìn)式每行開(kāi)頭向右縮進(jìn)一兩個(gè)字母；齊頭式左邊對(duì)齊排列，如下所示：

縮進(jìn)式

Dalian 116023

Liaoning Province

P.R.China

2.信內(nèi)地址（Inside Address）

信內(nèi)地址要寫(xiě)出收信人的姓名和地址。一般給比較生疏的親友的信和公事信件要寫(xiě)出信內(nèi)地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去這一步驟。信內(nèi)地址寫(xiě)出在日期下一兩行的左上角，第一行寫(xiě)收信人的稱(chēng)呼姓名，然后寫(xiě)出地址。地質(zhì)也是從小到大寫(xiě)出，分縮進(jìn)式和齊頭式兩種。例如：縮進(jìn)式

The President

Oxford University

齊頭式

Jiang Bin

64Heping Road

（3）在給不熟悉的人寫(xiě)信時(shí)，可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。4正文（Body of Letter）

正文是一封信的主體部分。通常在稱(chēng)呼的下一行寫(xiě)出。正文也可采用齊頭式或縮進(jìn)式的方法。齊頭式是反映每段開(kāi)頭一行和后面行并齊。縮進(jìn)式是指每段的第一行向右縮進(jìn)幾個(gè)字母。信箋講究簡(jiǎn)潔、效率。開(kāi)頭幾句簡(jiǎn)單地寒暄后就不如正題，在結(jié)尾處要有祝愿和敬語(yǔ)。常用的開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)有：

I have received your letter of July Ist.7月1 日來(lái)信已經(jīng)收悉。

I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高興告訴你……。

I am very much delighted to receive your letter.非常高興收到你的來(lái)信。

Yours sincerely,Yours truly,Yours faithfully,Most sincerely,Faithfully yours,親密的關(guān)系：

Love,Yours love,Yours Affectionately,With love,Lovingly yours,上級(jí)和長(zhǎng)者：

Yours respectfully,Faithfully yours,６署名（Signature）

在結(jié)束語(yǔ)的下方是簽名，先手寫(xiě)出，再打出來(lái)。如果收信人不認(rèn)識(shí)寫(xiě)出信人，可以在署名前用括號(hào)標(biāo)出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名稱(chēng)下面可注上頭銜。如：

Yours sincerely,Lucy Blake(手寫(xiě))

Lucy Blake(Miss)(打印)

Sales Manager

７附言（Postscript）,附件（Enclosure）

在信件正文寫(xiě)作時(shí)可能漏掉了某些事，或臨時(shí)發(fā)生了某事需要補(bǔ)充時(shí)，可以在信下面左下方寫(xiě)出上P.S.如果隨信有附件可在愛(ài)左下端注明。如：

Enclosure:1.Invoice(發(fā)票)

2.Resume(個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷)

（二）英文書(shū)信實(shí)例

上面介紹了英文寫(xiě)信的主要組成部分以及各部分的寫(xiě)作特點(diǎn)，接下來(lái)我們將提供五種英文書(shū)信的范例。

一、感謝信

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

Dear Mary, Thanks for your last letter.I'm so glad that you have been able(at last!)to arrange a holiday in Australia.As I fear I won't be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.There is a bus from the airport to the city.It is much cheaper than a cab.Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options.You can either take a cab, a bus or the train.I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station.Get off at Cliff Station.From there you can either walk to my place(about ten minutes)or take a taxi.Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2.My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep.But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.Yours sincerely, Annie

Dear Sir, I noticed an ad.In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team.It sounded as if it might be fun so I'm writing to say I'd like to come along.About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money.After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc.But I didn't stick to any of them for long.Recently I've been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round Europe so I've had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition you're planning.By the way, I'm a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.Yours, David Smith

Sample Writing 3: May 2006

Dear Sir，I am writing to apply for a British Council scholarship to study in Britain.I did my five years' basic training in medicine at Shanghai University.After this I successfully completed a one-year postgraduate course in Ophthalmology at the People's General Hospital, where I am at present serving a two-year probation in the Eye Clinic.As a result of the publication in 2003 of my article in New Scientist entitled “Soft and Rigid Contact Lenses ”, which was based on a survey of 37 patients over 6 months, I made contact with Dr.Li Ming of the Capital Hospital and Dr.Ma Li of the University College Hospital.I have received their help and advice with my current research project, which is a two-year survey of the acceptance of various types of contact lenses in 200 patients.Despite their help, I feel that I cannot make real progress in this field unless I can actually have day-to-day contact with these specialists.I would therefore like to continue my research at either the Capital Hospital or the UCH as soon as my probationary period here is completed, and I would like to study in Britain for two years.I enclose a detailed curriculum vitae and an offprint of my article, together with two letters of recommendation from Dr.Li Ming and Dr.Ma Li.Yours faithfully, Lily Chen

Sample 1 April 2006

Dear Sir, I saw your advertisement for “the perfect lighter” in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches!I could understand a mistake.I might even pardon a joke.But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.I think it's a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all.Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches.And what about “only” ￡2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately.Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers' Association hear about it.Yours faithfully, Peter Li

Sample Writing 2: March 2006

Dear Sir，I am highly disappointed in the proposed 2004-05 budget cuts to educa1ion.Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for educational disaster in our school.The future lies with our children.They must have access to high quality educa1ion.My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district that provides high quality education for our children.Cutting funding in districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a “rich” school.Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among other items.If our school is to remain a world leader in technological development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.Education funds should not be diverted away from education.Yours faithfully，Tom Williams

Dear Tom, Thanks for your letter which finally caught up with me in London.I suppose you're keen to hear how the trip has been so far.So here's a short description of what's happened.Well, you remember we left Sydney on Monday and arrived in London 24 hours later.After such a long and exhausting flight the first thing we did was to have a good, long sleep.And after that?a good meal to make up for all that horrible airline stuff!The first real day of our holiday was spent just walking around London to get a feel of the place.After that, however, we were more particular and planned each day carefully.First, we looked at all the historical sights, such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, the British Museum and the National Gallery.Then we visited some other famous places, such as Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath.Finally, we took a one-day trip to Oxford, which is really the most marvelous town.You should make sure to go there when you visit England.After we had seen a lot of London, we flew to Paris.A t first, we didn't like the place－I suppose because it was so different from London.Later, though, we began to really love it and started to appreciate its differentness.The final stage of our trip is a visit to Rome, after which we will be staying in Singapore for two days before returning to Australia.Hope everyone is well.See you soon.Sample Writing 2: March 2006

Dear Tom, I'm just writing to let you know that we're all well, and I hope you are, too.Unfortunately, I've got some rather bad news for you: I'm afraid I made a bit of a mess of John's car.Anyway, here's what happened.We were on our way to Carol's after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock.Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted.I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing.After we' d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit.Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldn't drive it.I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didn't succeed.Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off.I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go?so we didn't need the breakdown lorry at all.John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days.I suppose I was a bit careless.Well, that's all for now.Next time I write I hope I'll have better news for you.Yours sincerely, Linda Chen

Dear Sir, I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application procedure.I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been studying for the past five years.I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and credits in Economics and English Literature.My advanced-level subjects are History, Economics and English Literature.In addition to these subjects, “Use of English” is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular activities.I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school in many inter-school contests.On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly heritage of your country.I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in England.As regards my character, Mrs.Chen, my Principal, and Mr.Huang, my English master, have agreed to act as my references.As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify me of the result at your earliest convenience.Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me or my references.Yours faithfully, Lily Chen

Dear Sir, I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco(USF)with a bachelor's degree in International Business.As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language.This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with China's economic development.I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summer's program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006.Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours faithfully, Tom Jolly
