書信題型寫作是應用文寫作中常見的功能性寫作形式，書信寫作的準備一是宏觀，就是要掌握它的格式，基本框架，就是先寫什么，后寫什么;二是微觀，具體到語言如何使用。

　　一、書信寫作考察的結構

　　① 日期，寫信人應將寫信日期(年，月，日)放在書信正文的右上角，如Jan. 30th, 2010。

　　提醒：考研書信寫作沒有要求考生必須寫時間，如果沒有把握自己的時間書寫格式是正確的，建議考生不要寫，以免出錯反而扣分。

　�、� 稱呼，稱呼是寫信人對收信人的稱謂，稱呼可以根據(jù)收信人的性別，職務，婚姻狀況，姓名等個人信息來寫，如：Mr. Williams, Mrs. Bush, Professor Li, Dr. Smith, Dear Mum and Dad

　　如果寫信人不清楚收信人的具體姓名，職務等情況，可以寫：Dear Sir or Madam, To whom it may concern。

　�、� 正文，正文是書信的主要部分，在稱呼下方隔一或兩行處開始�？忌鷮懻�文時，要分層次進行。書信正文通常由引言，展開段和結尾三個層次組成。

　　?引言，引言表明寫信人的寫信目的和寫信背景，一般僅限于一段，一兩句話即可。

　　提醒：此處考生容易犯一個錯誤：照抄題目的表達，甚至原句，這是一個嚴重的錯誤，在閱卷過程至少會扣到2分，希望廣大考生要注意。

　　?展開段，展開段內(nèi)容應詳實，具體�？梢苑譃槿舾啥蝸韺�，每一段圍繞一個主題展開。

　　提醒：提醒廣大考生，題干中的要點必須全部包含，考生若是在漏掉一個要點(一般小作文有3個要點)會至少扣掉3分。

　　?結尾，結尾部分通常比引言部分短，使用一兩句話表達一下希望或祝愿。

　�、� 結束語，結束語是寫信人對收信人的謙稱，寫在正文下面二至三行處。公務等較正式的信件多采用Yours sincerely, Sincerely yours, Yours faithfully, Yours truly 等;私人信件，多采用Yours, With love, Yours affectionately 等。

　�、� 簽名，簽名應寫在結束語的下面。

　　二、主體段語言的操作

　　書信按照指令邊想邊寫。主體第一段一句話，開門見山，提出寫信的目的，表明信的性質：是投訴信還是申請信還是請求信?我為什么要寫這封信?常用句式包括：

　　I am writing to complain about…

　　I am writing to thank… for… /express my gratitude for …

　　I am writing to ask for…

　　I am writing to apply for…

　　正文第二段，100個字左右，8、9句話。

　　此段寫作的中心任務是把題目中的提綱進行擴展。如果有3條提綱，可以每一條提綱擴充3句。怎么樣擴充，主要是發(fā)揮點小小的想象力，有兩種思路，一是將上義拆分成為若干下義，二是把一件事情說得更為形象具體。比如第一條指令，題目里面說是books，可以細化為各種各樣的書，這就是下義拆分法。還可以具體描寫一下這些書是什么樣子的。同樣第二個指令里面的methods of payment,和第三個指令里面的time and way of delivery都可以采用這兩種方法進行擴展。

　　結尾，一般為禮貌性的套話，一般都是焦急等待著您的回信I am looking forward to your reply足以，或者I would appreciate it if you could send a replay at your earliest convenience也行。

　　以下為書信寫作中常用的經(jīng)典句型參考，希望大家在寫作中活學活用。
