距离最后的考试已经不到两个月的时间，最后的冲刺序幕正式拉开。英语复习到这个阶段，最重要的就是作文。要想在最后的考试成绩中脱颖而出，现阶段就必须要把精力放在分值占在30分的写作上。

　　考研英语中大作文的要求是内容切题、表达清楚、文字连贯、句式多变和语言规范。小作文考察点在信息点的覆盖、语言的准确性、文章组织的连贯性上。

　　其中小作文占10分，分为求职信、祝贺信、道歉信、询问信、推荐信、感谢信、邀请信、辞职信等等二十多种应用文。每个类别都有相对固定的语言模式，都有固定词语要求。

　　便签“写作三步走”：日期→说明事由和目的→直接署名

　　注意：

　　日期通常写在便签的右上角；由于便签提及的事情通常都是发生在近期的事情，所以日期写明年的日期即可；如果是写给朋友的，开头的称呼通常直接写名字，省略Dear。称呼和最后的署名都比较简单随意。

　　范文解析：

　　Directions: Write a note to Prof. Li, appointing a time for a discussion about the first draft of your graduate paper. Do not sign your own name at the end of the note. Use “Wang Hua” instead。

　　Dear Prof. Li,

　　Could I see you sometime next week?  I’d like to know your comments on the first draft of my graduate paper before I begin my second one. I am writing about the features of Romanticism Literature in English, which was mentioned in your English literature class and was inspired by your remarks in one of those classes. I believe through your instruction I could have a deeper insight into this subject。

　　Could you please fix a time (I am free on Monday and Tuesday afternoon as well as Thursday and Friday) and leave a message for me with the Secretary at the Department Office? Thank you。

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Wang Hua
