假定你是李華，與留學(xué)生朋友Bob約好一起去書店，因故不能赴約。請給他寫封郵件，內(nèi)容包括：

1.表示歉意；

2.說明原因；

3.另約時間?！驹囶}分析】

題目要求寫一封道歉信，因不能如約一起去書向Bob道歉，使用第一人稱和一般現(xiàn)在時進行寫作。【得分要點】

題目是常規(guī)的書信作文，要求寫一封道歉信，是應(yīng)用文的一種。寫作的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)給出，表達歉意的同時，還要與對方另約時間。因此，不僅僅是一封道歉信。寫作時注意涵蓋所有要點，還要兼顧上下文的連貫性?！緟⒖挤段摹?Dear Bob, I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon.I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting that afternoon.I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll have more time to read and select books.If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet at 8:30 outside the school gate.If not, let me know what time suits you best.I should be available any time after school next week.Looking forward to your early reply.Yours, Li Hua

Then both of us will be available and I can share my experience of the competition with you.Please.I am looking forward to your reply.Yours, Li Hua 2013山東卷 【真題再現(xiàn)】

假如你是新華中學(xué)的學(xué)生李華，你的美國朋友Tom一周前給你發(fā)電子郵件，詢問你暑假里的打算，但你因準(zhǔn)備期末考試未能及時回復(fù)。請根據(jù)以下要點給他回封郵件：

1.未及時回信的原因；

2.你假期的打算（如做兼職、旅行、做志愿者等）?！窘?jīng)典套路】

第一段：問候+寫信背景+寫信目的 第二段：“道歉”部分(相當(dāng)于“寫信背景”)第三段：“假期安排”部分 第四段：補充說明+客套話 【高分范文】 Dear Tom, How are you doing?(問候)You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation.(寫信背景)I am sorry that I didn’t reply without delay.(寫信目的)How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it.However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me.As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study.I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.(第二段為道歉信常見套路)By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation.(主題句)First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved.(拓展句1)Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School.(拓展句2)Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.(拓展句3)These are my plan for the summer vacation.What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.(以合理的客套話結(jié)尾)Best wishes!Yours, Li Hua

【滿分佳作】 Dear Tom, ①I’m terribly sorry I couldn’t reply to your email which you sent me a week ago immediately.②I was so occupied with the final exams.As for the coming summer holiday, I will first do a part time job in a fast-food restaurant.③Not only will I earn some money but I will also gain some social experience through it.④And then I will go on a trip to Sichuan, where there are a great number of places of interest.Finally, I’ll go to Ya’an to work as a volunteer.⑤There is no doubt that children there are badly in need of help.⑥I hope what I will do will make a great difference to them.Do you have anything for the summer? Please write to me and let me know.Best wishes.Yours sincerely, Li Hua

【滿分賞析】

①先用I’m terribly sorry…對未能及時回信道歉，terribly加強了道歉的語氣。②接著簡單講明原因；be occupied with sth./doing sth.(忙于某事/做某事)的運用體現(xiàn)了作者的語言功底，不是用簡單的詞匯busy，可給評卷老師留下好印象。

③Not only…but also… 連接并列句，屬于本書在“寫作基礎(chǔ)”部分訓(xùn)練的句型。注意：not only在句首，謂語動詞要用倒裝形式；gain some social experience的運用也體現(xiàn)了作者平時注意積累語言素材。

④運用了where引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾地點，使句式避免簡單化；places of interest(名勝古跡)也運用得當(dāng)?？忌枳⒁夥e累，否則只能生造出中式英語。

⑤運用了There is no doubt that…(……毫無疑問)這樣的萬能句型；be badly in need of help(急需幫助)這一短語也使評卷老師眼前一亮。

⑥make a difference(起作用、產(chǎn)生不同)這一短語也是增分點。本篇句句高級、詞詞地道，怎能不拿滿分？ 【模擬題1】

Dear Prof.Wang,First of all, please allow me to express my deep sorry for not being able to keep our appointment.I do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much trouble。

I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile.However I do not want you to misunderstand me.On my

way to your office, an old lady suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus.I stopped a taxi and sent her into a nearby hospital.I stayed there until her son came, which spoiled our appointment。

I am aware that our appointment is of importance.I do hope that you would be kindenough to spare your valuable time to meet me。

I am looking forward to hearing from you。

Sincerely yours,Li Ming

第四篇：英語應(yīng)用文寫作之邀請信

英語應(yīng)用文寫作之邀請信

（一）一、邀請信及復(fù)信

邀請信包括宴會邀請、午餐和晚餐邀請、聚會邀請、舞會邀請、婚禮邀請等。

邀請信雖然看起來不象請柬那樣正規(guī)、莊重，但是，也是很講就的。寫好邀請信，需注意以下幾個問題：

1.邀請信一定要寫得明確、完整，不可給收信人留下任何疑問。如: “ I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner next Wednesday.” 這樣的寫法就不夠明確，需要加上具體的日期和時間。該句應(yīng)寫成: “I’d like you and Tom to come to dinner on Wednesday, June 14, at seven o’clock.”

2.在歐美國家，夜晚的邀請，除了那些只允許男人參加的社交活動之外，不論是正式的，還是非正式的，都應(yīng)該邀請夫妻雙方參加。

3.別人對你的邀請是對你的尊重，因此，無論能否赴約，都應(yīng)該給與及時的、有禮貌的答復(fù)。

4.對于邀請信，在復(fù)信時應(yīng)該明確地說明是接受邀請, 還是不能接受邀請。不能使用模棱兩可的話。如: “ I’ll try my best to come.” “ I’ll come if I’m in town.” 等等，那樣會使邀請人感到十分不安，應(yīng)該明確說明去還是不去，以便讓邀請人早做安排。

5.接受邀請時，在回信時要重復(fù)寫上邀請信中的某些內(nèi)容，如:

幾月幾日、星期幾、幾點鐘等等。不應(yīng)該這樣寫：“ I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon…”，而應(yīng)該寫成： “ I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon on Thursday, May tenth, at one o’clock.” 這樣寫，可以糾正你或邀請人可能弄錯了的日期和時間。

（一）宴會邀請信及復(fù)信

邀請朋友赴宴（Inviting a Friend to Dinner）

Dear Zhang Ning,Will you and Mr.Wang Yi have dinner with us on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven o’clock?

It’s a long time since we have had the pleasure of seeing you and we do hope you can come.Sincerely yours,Elizabeth K.Benton ·接受邀請（Acceptance）

Dear Mrs.Benton,Wang Yi and I will be delighted to dine with you on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven o’clock.How nice of you to ask us!We are both looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Dr.Benton again.Very sincerely yours,Zhang Ning

不能赴約（Regret）

Dear Mrs.Benton,I’ve been putting off this note until the last possible moment, hoping and hoping Wang Yi would get back from Shanghai in time for your dinner party.But now I must regretfully write that he’ll still be out of town on Tuesday, the fifth;and we therefore cannot accept your kind invitation for dinner on that day.It was sweet of you to ask us;and I know Wang Yi will be as sorry as I am to miss an evening with you and Dr.Benton.We know how delightful such evenings at your house usually are!Sincerely yours,Zhang Ning

2.邀請朋友赴宴和看電影

現(xiàn)代人由于忙忙碌碌，邀請信總是寫得很簡短，邀請朋友赴宴和看電影，通常只寫上幾行字，但是，他們認為這并不是草率和不恭敬的表現(xiàn)，只是為了速度快些罷了。例如：

Dear Li Ming,We have four tickets for a new movie Brokeback Mountain this Friday, the tenth.Will you and He Yi join us here for dinner at six sharp;and then go on with us later to the movie? We’ll be

looking for you Friday night, so don’t disappoint us!

Affectionately yours,Doris

·接受邀請(Acceptance)

Dear Doris,Delighted!We’ll be there Friday at six, and go with you

afterward to the cinema.How wonderful of you and Frank to ask us!….Affectionately yours,Li Ming·不能赴約（Regret）

Dear Doris,I think you’d better ask some other couple for Friday.He Yi is in Shanghai and won’t be back for another week.Wait till he hears what a wonderful evening he missed with you and Frank!Thanks for asking us, Doris.I’m certainly sorry we can’t say “yes”!

Affectionately yours,Li Ming

3.取消非正式宴會的短箋

有時候，由于生病或其他原因，需取消原定的宴請，如果時間緊，可以用電話通知已邀請的客人，如果有時間，應(yīng)該寫一封短信表示歉意。

Dear Mrs.Jennings,I have just learned that my son, who is at school in Shanghai, was injured in a basketball game.Although the injury is not very serious, Lin Kai and I feel we must go to him at once;and we are leaving tomorrow morning.Under the circumstances, we must recall our dinner

invitations for Tuesday, the fifth of May… and plan on a later date for our party.I’m sure that you and Mr.Jennings will understand our anxiety, and will forgive this last-minute change in plans.Sincerely yours,Li Li

4.對于非正宴請的不能如期赴約的短箋

按照英美人的習(xí)慣，應(yīng)邀者因為生病或其他原因而不能如期赴約時，應(yīng)該打個電話或?qū)懸环舛绦鸥嬖V邀請人。當(dāng)然，只有在萬不得已時才能做出這樣的改變。

Dear Mrs.Benton,I’m very sorry to have to write you this letter!After accepting your kind invitation for dinner on Tuesday, May the fifth, I now

find that we cannot be there after all.Li Yong has just been called to Shanghai on business;and although he tried very hard to postpone the trip until after the fifth, he was unable to do so.We had been looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Dr.Benton;and we both feel very badly about this unexpected development.We hope you understand, and that you will not be inconvenienced.Sincerely yours,Wang ShanshanWriting Assignment 1：寫一封邀請信，要請你的好朋友Elizabeth K.Benton 本周六晚7點到你家赴宴, 然后一起去電影院看新電影《金剛》（KING KONG）(The Eighth Wonder of the World.)。以Elizabeth K.Benton的身份給你寫一封表示接受邀請的回信。

第五篇：英語應(yīng)用文寫作之推薦信

英語應(yīng)用文寫作之推薦信

推薦信的寫作（The Writing of Letters of Recommendation）

在聯(lián)系到國外學(xué)習(xí)或就業(yè)的過程中，往往需要以往的同事、上司或老師寫一封推薦信。推薦信寫得好壞意義重大，因為它關(guān)系到對被推薦人人品、能力及知識各個方面的評價。因此，在推薦信的寫作中，首先需要對該信的用途加以了解，以便確定被推薦人是否適合這一職位或是否適合進入某一專業(yè)攻讀學(xué)位或從事研究工作。推薦信應(yīng)包括以下內(nèi)容：

① 被推薦人全名；

② 推薦人與被推薦人認識時間的長短及其關(guān)系,如：(I have been Mr.Bowman’s immediate supervisor for the past six years.);

③ 被推薦人的學(xué)識及其優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì)（最好有具體的事例加以證明）；

④ 被推薦人所申請的學(xué)?；驒C構(gòu)對其感興趣的理由，總結(jié)對被推薦人的信心，并主動提出如有必要的話，可以提供更多的有關(guān)被推薦人的資料。

在推薦信的寫作中，應(yīng)注意以下幾點：

1）推薦信一定要寫得具體，可以用具體的事例說明被推薦人的長處。

2）即便被推薦人有許多優(yōu)點，推薦信也應(yīng)當(dāng)集中在兩三個方面。

3）在推薦信中，不要使用諸如下面這樣的話：“I’d hire her in a minute if she were applying here” 或 “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this scholarship.”。因為，推薦人只需要提供證明資料，并不需要做出任何決定。

下面請閱讀龐加萊(Henri Poincare)1和居里夫人(Madame Curie)為愛因斯坦申請到蘇黎世聯(lián)邦工學(xué)院任教而寫的推薦信。

Herr Einstein is one of the most original minds that we have ever met.In spite of his youth he already occupies a very honorable position among the foremost savants of his time.What we marvel at him, above all, is the ease with which he adjusts himself to new conceptions and draws all possible deductions from them.He does not cling to classical principles, but sees all conceivable possibilities when he is confronted with a physical problem.In his mind this becomes transformed into an

anticipation of new phenomena that may someday be verified in actual experience? The future will give more and more proofs of the merits of Herr Einstein, and the University that succeeds in attaching him to itself may be certain that it will derive honor from its connection with the young master.”

Re: Steve Monk

Date: November 15 2005

Dear Sir:

I have known Steve Monk for four years.During his first two years at Isherwood Central High, he was a student in my Earth Science class and in my C.P.Biology class.During his junior year, I was Steve’s advisor for an independent study in biology, and this year he is carrying out an extracurricular research project for which I am providing some guidance.This young man is one of the brightest, most research-oriented students I have encountered in eighteen years of teaching.His SAT and achievement test scores only begin to tell the story.I understand he is sending you copies of several of his research projects;this will provide you with more evidence of his understanding of the principles of scientific inquiry, of his passion of exactitude, and of his bottomless curiosity.However, it is only in talking and working with Steve that the full extent of his talents is revealed.In writing you this letter, I hope to persuade you of one thing: to arrange a meeting between some of your science faculty and Steve.There is no doubt in my mind that you will be interested in this young man.I am much more concerned about his financial situation, and I believe that once you see what caliber of student and scientist Steve Monk is, you will find some way of dealing with his financial needs.I am very much interested in Steve’s situation and will be happy to provide any further information.Yours sincerely,(signature)
