考研英語(yǔ)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。

　　詢問(wèn)信是希望獲取信息的信件，分為三個(gè)部分：1. 說(shuō)明自己的計(jì)劃或目的，也就是詢問(wèn)信息的原因;2. 征詢具體信息;3. 期待回復(fù)并表示感謝。

　　寫作"三步走"引言部分自我介紹并講明詢問(wèn)目的→發(fā)展部分是詢問(wèn)的主要內(nèi)容→比較后期待回復(fù)并表示感謝。

　　注意：

　　為了讓對(duì)方一目了然，也便于回答，在內(nèi)容的安排上應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)明扼要，可以用數(shù)字列出具體問(wèn)題，如first, second, third or 1、2、3。

　　由于詢問(wèn)有可能給對(duì)方帶來(lái)麻煩，所以語(yǔ)言應(yīng)簡(jiǎn)潔、清晰、無(wú)歧義。語(yǔ)氣禮貌、懇切。
