破解应用文写作(小作文)
第一节私人和公务信函
信函(Letter)是用以交涉事务、增进了解、联络友谊、交流思想的重要工具。英语信函主
要包括私人信函(Personal Letters)和公务信函(Business Letters)两大类。公务信函,一
般用来处理或讨论重要事务,包括邀请信(Invitation Letter)、感谢信(Thank you Letter)、
道歉信(Letter of Apologies)、祝贺信(Letter of Congratulations)等。按照一般的格式英语
信函主要由六个部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结句、签名;有的信函还包括附
言和附件部分(常用 P.S.表示)。
信头(Heading)
信头由发信人地址和发信日期两部分组成,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以缩进去写,
也可以齐头写;行尾可用也可不用标点符号。值得注意的是,英语书信中的地址与中文正好
相反,应该由小到大,先写门牌号码、街名,再写城市名、州(省)名、邮编、最后再写国
名。如:
No. 256, Chaoyang Street
Beijing, 100069, China
日期的写法英、美两种格式都可以,英国顺序为“日、月、年” ,美国顺序则为“月、日、
年” ,如:
27 Sep., 2006(英)
Sep. 27, 2006(美)
信内地址(Inside Address)
包括收信人的姓名和地址,一般置于信纸的左上角。在私人信函中,这一部分经常省略。其
格式和发信人的姓名、地址一样。
称呼(Salutation)
称呼位于收信人地址之下的一至二行,顶格写起,自成一行。在私人信函中后面用逗号,在
公务信函中则用冒号。
正文(The Body of the Letter)
信件的主要内容。
结句(Complimentary Closure)
类似于中文中的“此致”“敬礼”这类的话,主要是一些套语。一般是正文结束隔两行另起,
独立成行,位于信纸的右角,也可以略居中右方。
签名
写信人的名字一般签在结尾语下面一至二行处。在私人信函中只需亲笔签名就可以了,而在
公务信函中,发信人的亲笔签名应该写在结尾套语和打印的姓名之间。
以上几点是英语信函的共同特征。为了考生更好地掌握英语信函的写法,下面几部分将详细
讲解私人信函和公务信函的具体写法,并为考生提供了经典句型和范文。
一、私人信函
1.写作攻略
私人信函是一个宽泛的概念,它既可以指公务信函以外的一切信函,也可以指与家人或朋友
之间互通信息、感情这一特定类型的信件。这里我们指后者。
私人信函与其他形式的信函最根本的区别在于,私人信函纯粹是出于自愿, 就像是同远方的
亲友聊家常一样。 其内容可以是简短的几句问候、 通报近期的情况、 抒发对亲友的想念等等。
私人信函的格式和其他信函基本一致,不过与其他信函相比,稍微随便一些。
地址一般写在信纸的右上角,可用斜列式也可用齐头式,如果是收信人熟悉的地址也可以省
略不写,但日期是不能省略的。称呼一般视与收信人的关系而定,一般来说应用比较亲近的
称呼。正文部分尽量有感而发,写作时要十分注重感情的真挚。如果对方在上次的信中提出
过什么问题,应该先回答,同时也可以问对方一些问题,以表示对他/她的关切。私人信函
的基本写作结构为 “问候及表达写信人的思念之情——询问收信人的近况——向收信人讲述
自己的情况——以提议、建议或请求结尾” 。在写给私人信函中可以常用的结尾套语如
“Yours,” “ With love,” “ With best wishes” “Your affectionately,” “Yours sincerely,”
等等。当然在实际写作中,要仔细审题,弄清楚题目给定的情景,根据要求进行写作。

二、公务信函
公务信函是现实生活中应用最广的一类,主要包括邀请信、感谢信、道歉信、祝贺信、介绍
信、申请信、建议信、投诉信、咨询信等共九大类,下面将分别进行介绍。
(一)邀请信
1.写作攻略
邀请信是写信人对收信人的一种盛情邀约,一般分为正式的和非正式的两种。格式与其他信
函相同。具体写作步骤:
首段:说明与收信人的相关性与写作意图。
主体段落:具体交代情景:包括受邀请的人、邀请朋友要干什么、地点以及具体的时间等内
容。并且强调为什么邀请收信人而不是别的朋友。
结尾段:表示期待朋友的回复。
就本质而言正式与非正式的邀请信并没有什么区别, 只是正式的邀请信比较注意文采,而且
往往需要表现出更大的热诚。邀请信一般都要求考生邀约朋友参加特殊聚会,共度假期,或
者访问自己的家乡等, 考生可以采用半正式文体。

(二) 感谢信
1.写作攻略
感谢信是对收信人的某一行为表示感谢。感谢信的使用频率非常高,在收到别人的邀请时,
受到别人的表扬时,反正只要对方帮助过你,不管大小都应该表示感谢。感谢信带有浓厚的
感情浓厚,所表达的感情必须真挚。具体写作步骤:
首段:表明写作意图,让对方感受到你的谢意是发自内心的。
主体段落: 写明感谢的原因, 要展开说明, 可以说具体的理由也可以说接受帮助的具体事例。
比如说你在一家旅馆住了一段时间, 在那里度过了一段美好的时光, 你就可以写信表示感谢。
你可以从旅馆的服务、客房环境、饮食卫生等方面来说明感谢的理由。这样展开就使文章显
得充实丰满,也符合正常交际的习惯。

Dear staff,
I am writing to show my sincere gratitude for all of you. Now that I am home and on my own
again I feel extremely happy. During the time I lived at the Rehabilitation center and was under
your tender care, I promised myself I would write a letter of thanks as soon as I was able.
Abundant thanks to each one of you for your patience, expertise and genuine concern. It was you
who helped me believe in myself and gave me assurance that I could walk again. I would never
forget each word you said to me and the things you have done to me. Forgive me for the times I
lashed out at you in frustration and thank you for understanding and remaining firm with me.
Never stop your beautiful way of working with people. Your help really means a lot to me and
anyone who in trouble as well.

(三)道歉信
1.写作攻略
道歉信主要是向收信人表明歉意,请求对方谅解自己的过失。写道歉信时要明确不是找借口
为自己辩护, 而是承认自己的过错并提出弥补过错的具体建议和方法。此类信件的关键是用
词准确,表达真诚。具体写作步骤:
首段:重述自己做错的事,表示歉意。
主体段落:说明道歉的具体原因,应尽量详细描述做错事的经过。写信时应该注意在申述理
由时要照顾读信人的感受,切忌强词夺理。

(七)建议信
1.写作攻略
建议信是向收信人对某事提出写信人的建议和忠告。 建议信有可能是写给个人,就其遇到的
某个问题提出自己的看法和观点;也可能是写给某个组织和机构, 就改进其服务提出建议或
忠告。建议信要写出写信的原因,建议的内容,提出建议的理由,提出的理由要入情入理,
语气一定要礼貌当先。因此建议信要写得简明扼要、目的明确、具有合理性和说服力。具体
写作步骤:
首段:表明写作意图。陈述事由,简单介绍自己,注意语气。
主体段落:应该首先肯定对方的优点,然后再写需要改进的地方或针对具体情况提出具体建
议或忠告。千万注意不要让别人以为你是在投诉,而不是提建议。
结尾段:对提出的建议进行总结,要注意有礼貌使读者容易接受。
写作这类题目时, 考生要注意不要跑题, 因为这类题很有可能写成议论文, 如 “我认为一……
二……,所以要如何如何” 。考生应该时刻记得书信的交际功能,要考虑到收信人的感受。
在给对方提建议时应该时时说到 I和 You,要让人时刻感受到这是一种交流。

3.必背经典范文
Dear Mary,
I am sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have got better now. You have
studied so hard that you have had no time for exercise. This is harmful for your health. You have
been in poor health these years. I feel it would be more beneficial to your health if you could take
more exercise in future.
Do not think that time spent in exercise is wasted. Exercise can improve your physical constitution
and refresh the mind. After one or two hours of exercise you can study better. Only when you have
a strong body can you keep on studying without felling fatigue. Otherwise your study will be
interrupted from time to time by fatigue or sickness.
I am not advising you to devote all your time to exercise. What I want to say is that exercise is as
useful and important as your study. I hope you can take at least one hour s exercise every day
after you are recovered. I would be more than happy to see you have a stronger body.
Sincerely yours,
John

乏运动的时间,这对你的健康很不利。这些年来你身体一直不好,我想如果你今后多参加体
育活动肯定会对身体有很多好处。
不要把锻炼看成是浪费时间。锻炼可以增强你的身体素质,使你更有精神。运动一两个小时
可以增加你的学习效率。只有有了强健的身体才能高效的学习而不觉疲倦, 否则疲劳或疾病
就会影响学习。
我并不是劝你把时间都用在锻炼上,我只是想说锻炼和学习一样,同是有益而且是重要的。
我希望你复原后能每天至少锻炼一个小时。看到你有个强壮的身体,我会非常高兴的。
你的朋友:约翰
(八)投诉信
1.写作攻略
投诉信也叫抱怨信。一般是当自己的正常生活受到骚扰、自己的利益受到侵害或当社会规范
有失规范时,用来表达不满情绪和提出批评。所有的投诉信都有一个共同点,就是最终是要
收信人解决问题,所以需要提出解决方案。考生应该注意如果题目中没有给出解决方案,那
么就要根据投诉内容中的不满提出自己的解决方案。具体写作步骤:
首段:表明来信所要投诉的问题,尽可能做到客观礼貌,给读者留下好印象,应该记住读信
人不一定就是错误的责任人,他的合作对事情的最后解决有着非常重要的作用。
主体段落:写明投诉的原因、问题的经过及产生的后果。可以说具体的理由,也可以说问题
的具体体现方式。
结尾段: 提出解决方案, 不需展开。 这段应体现书信的礼貌原则, 可以用类似 “如果你能……,
我将十分感激”这样的表达方式。还要注意做到公平、公正。

3.必背经典范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would like to
have a single room, because I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I am dissatisfied with my present roommate because of his inconsiderate behavior. For one thing,
his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly makes calls at night. In addition,
he often uses my things without asking for my permission. Under such circumstances, I find it
difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
I believe you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own, where I
will be free from these kinds of distractions. I would be very grateful if you could arrange a single
room for me, preferably not in the same building.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Williams
译文
亲爱的女士或先生:
我写信来是告诉您下学期我想搬到一个新房间。我想要一个单独房间,因为我觉得现在这样
合住非常不方便。
我之所以对我现在的室友不满是因为他毫不顾及他人的行为。一方面,他老是有朋友来访;
另一方面,他夜里经常打电话。另外,他经常不经过我允许就用我的东西。在这种情况下,
我很难专心学习,现在我的成绩已经下降了。
我相信您肯定同意惟一的解决办法就是我搬到单独的房间,那样就没有什么干扰了。如果您
能帮我安排一个单独的房间,最好不要在目前这个楼里,我将万分感谢。
您真挚的:汤姆·威廉姆
(九)咨询信
1.写作攻略
咨询信的主要目的是为了寻求所需的信息、资料和情况等。写这类书信时应注意礼节,切不
可使用带有生硬或命令口吻的词句,也不可把别人的帮助视为理所当然。考生还要注意只能
就收信人能够提供的信息进行提问。具体写作步骤:
首段: 简单叙述题目场景, 说明写作意图, 清楚表明写这封信的目的是要寻求什么样的信息。
主体段落:询问具体问题。可以问一些与命题所设置的问题相关的内容,但这些问题必须是
与题目本身要求获取的信息是有相关性的。 考生也可以自己认为比较重要的问题单独列一个
段落,将其内容细化。考生可以根据虚拟的自身情况提出相关的问题。
结尾段:表明急切获取信息的心情,提供联系方式以便收信人与你联络,对收信人所能给予
的任何帮助都要表示感谢,即使你知道这些帮助是收信人应该做的。
在写咨询信时特别要注意使用句式的选择, 在询问问题时要使用 “Would you please tell me...”
之类的正式疑问句式。
