考研英語(yǔ)中大作文的要求是內(nèi)容切題、表達(dá)清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語(yǔ)言規(guī)范。小作文考察點(diǎn)在信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、語(yǔ)言的準(zhǔn)確性、文章組織的連貫性上。

　　其中小作文占10分，分為求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問(wèn)信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請(qǐng)信、辭職信等等二十多種應(yīng)用文。每個(gè)類別都有相對(duì)固定的語(yǔ)言模式，都有固定詞語(yǔ)要求。

　　申請(qǐng)信主要用于申請(qǐng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金、求學(xué)、申請(qǐng)出國(guó)簽證等，這些申請(qǐng)往往通過(guò)申請(qǐng)信來(lái)請(qǐng)求。

　　寫作"三步走"：申請(qǐng)的具體內(nèi)容和緣由→自己的情況和條件→提出要求，如回信、面試等等。

　　注意：第一，語(yǔ)氣要誠(chéng)摯友好千萬(wàn)不要表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)求的意思;

　　第二，對(duì)于申請(qǐng)的內(nèi)容和原因一定要寫得非常清楚;

　　第三，盡管不能表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)求的意思，但是期望得到的心情一定要表達(dá)出來(lái)。
