关于英语作文写作格式:书信
书信类作文考题,通常以汉语形式给出收信人、寄信人、时间及内容要点,要求考生按所给内容翻译或写作。考生应注意学习和掌握书信的格式和相关用语。
英语书信主要由以下几个部分组成:
① 信头(Heading),也叫信端,指发信人的地址和写信日期。其写法主要有全部齐头式(信头位于信纸的左上角)和半齐头式(信头位于信纸的右上角)两种。

答题技巧
技巧1:熟记书信格式,保证格式正确。
① 发信人和收信人地址名称从小到大书写。值得注意的是,门牌号与街道名之间不用逗号隔开,但城市名和国名之间、日月和年份之间,须有逗号。月份和日期间不用逗号。信内地址应注意先写收信人姓名、头衔和单位名称,后写地址。写信日期一般有如下几种写法:
a. May 24, b. 1st Oct,
c. 10 June, d. Sept. 21st, 2005
上述四种写法中,a式最为普遍。
② 当题目没有特别给出收信人和写信人地址时,信头和信内地址可省去;但若给出了写信日期,须记得把日期写上。
③ 对男性的称呼,多用Mr.;对女性称呼多用Mrs., Madam, Miss 或Ms.。须注意,Mr., Mrs., Madam, Miss, Ms可用在姓氏前,或姓氏和名字前,不可只用在名字前。如对David Green 的称呼,应是:Mr. Green 或Mr. David Green, 不能是Mr. David。此外,对收信人的称呼也可用头衔或职位名称,不分男女性别。如:张民教授,可称作Professor Zhang Min(Professor 可缩写成Prof.)。在对外公事函件中,收信人的称呼可用Gentlemen(注意不是Gentleman), Dear Sir/Madam等。
④ 常用的结束语有:Yours truly, (Very) Truly yours, Yours (very) faithfully, Yours (very) sincerely, Yours (very) respectfully, Yours, Yours ever。 特别注意,Yours 不可写作Your。
技巧2:注意内容完整,仔细审题,找出要点。考书信通常会用汉语给出信的正文内容,正文应完全覆
盖题目要点。对于题目未要求的内容,不要画蛇添足。
技巧3:考前熟悉书信常用语句,考试中根据题目要求合理套用。

英语书信写作格式解读
1.信封
英语信封与汉语信封的写法是完全不同的。首先,英语信封与汉语信封上收发人的姓名和地址的位置是不同的。汉语信封将收信人姓名地址写在信封偏左或中央部位,寄信人的姓名和地址写在信封右下方;而将英语信封的发信人姓名和地址写在信封的左上方,收信人的姓名与地址在信封偏右或中央部位。另外,英汉信封上收发信人的姓名地址顺序也完全不同:汉语信封是先写国家名称,然后再从大地方写到小地方直至路名、门牌号,再写收信人姓名;而英语信封正好相反。
第一行:收信人姓名
第二行:住所门牌号,街道名称
第三行:市镇名称及所在地邮政编码
第四行:省州等大地区名称(如果第三行是大城市,这部分也可省去)
第五行:国家名称(寄往国外时需写)
实例:
在写英文姓名时注意:要先写名,再写姓,前面可以用Mr(男士),Mrs(已婚女士),Miss(未婚女士),Ms(不标明婚姻状况的女士),Dr(有博士学位的人),Professor(Prof.)(教授)。路名可用缩略形式: Rd.(Road),St.(Street),Ave.(Avenue大道)。有时在信封左下角可以写上“By Airmail(航空)”,“Printed Matter(印刷品),Registered Mail(挂号信)”等词语,在左下角还可以写“Please do not bend(请勿折叠)”等提示语。
2.私人信件格式
1)信头:发信人地址和日期
这部分中有时可省去发信人地址,但一般要写日期。放在信纸的右上方。
2)称呼:对收信人的尊称
最普通的`是Dear,但与Mr,Mrs,Miss等不同的是:Dear后一般用名字,而Mr,Mrs,Miss后不能单独用名字,而只能是姓或姓与名,比如:对John Smith的称呼,应该是Mr Smith,Mr John Smith或 Dear John.称呼后面可用逗号或者冒号。
3)信的正文
4)结尾:发信人对收信人的谦称或敬语。放在信的右下方。
这部分要特别注意英语习惯,不可根据汉语意思写上诸如“此致敬礼”、“祝您健康”之类的中国式的结尾语。常用的英语书信结尾语如下:
写给同龄人或年长的朋友: Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,Yours等等。
写给好朋友: Love,With love, Best wishes等等。
写给亲戚:Love,With love,Affectionately yours,Your (ever) loving son(sister等等)。
5)签名
签名一般在结尾语的下面一行。
例如:
事务信件格式与私人信件格式大致相同,只是在称呼和结尾上要比较正式一些。
常用的称呼有:Dear Sir(不知对方姓名时用)
Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss X(知道对方姓名时用)
常用的结尾语有:Yours sincerely(知道对方姓名时用)
Yours truly/Yours faithfully(不知对方姓名时用)
3.私人信件的正文
1)开头
常见的私人信件的开头方式有:
表示高兴:I was so glad/pleased/happy to receive your letter dated May 1st.
表示感谢:Thank you for your wonderful gift/your interesting letter.
表示关心与询问:How are you these days?/How are you getting on these days?/How are you getting on with your work/studies?
表示抱歉:I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these days. / I am sorry that I have not written to you for such a long time,but let me assure you that you have always been in my thoughts.
一般在表示道歉没有及时给对方写信时,还要简述原因或写上安慰的话。
表示遗憾:I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the entrance examination. / I was so upset to hear that you are ill these days. I do hope you are getting better.
2)信件主体
这部分内容是最自由的,与汉语书信没有什么区别。私人信件一般文体很随便,可以写任何你想写的内容。
3)结束信件
常用的话语有:
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
I am afraid I have to stop now but I will write again.
Please give my regards to your family.
Take good care of you and keep in touch.
最后,需要介绍一下邀请信的写法。邀请信是一种社交信件。随着越来越多的外籍老师来我国学校执教,有时学生举行一些社交活动,常要邀请外籍老师前来参加。因此,学会写英语邀请信是很有实际意义的。
英语邀请信的要点是:(1)邀请对象(2)活动时间(3)活动地点(4)活动内容(5)询问是否接受邀请。
下面是英语邀请信的实例:
比较随便的邀请信
Dear Jane,
We are giving a small party at Room 303 at 7 p. m. on December 25 to celebrate the Christmas Day. We shall be very pleased if you can come.
Yours,
Ming Ming
比较正式的邀请信
June 5,
Dear Mr Smith,
If you have no other plans for Sunday,June 15,would you like to come to our dancing party?
All the students of our class are coming. Mr Li,our dean,is also joining us. And we shall be very pleased if you could manage to come,too.
The party is at 7 p. m. in the school hall. We shall expect you then if we do not hear from you to the contrary(回绝).
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
—、书信写作要求
书信(Letter)一般可分为事务信件或公函(Business Letter or Offical Correspondence)以及私人信件
(Private Letter)两大类,英语书信写作指导。一般包括以下几个要点:
1) 收信人的姓名和地址;
2) 寄信人的姓名及其与收信人的关系;
3) 寄信人的地址(有时可以省略);
4) 写信的时间;
5) 信的内容。
1. 书信的格式
1) 信头(Heading);
2) 称呼(Salutation);
3) 正文(Body of the letter);
4) 结束语(Complimentary close);
5) 签名(signature)。
2. 书信的种类
1) 邀请信
邀请信有正式和非正式之分,也有介于两者之间者。正式邀请信一般属于公函类,私人邀请信一般属于非正式文体。邀请朋友、熟人参加某一聚会时,再词句上不一定多加斟酌,用词太正规倒显得关系不密切。但是如果与被邀请人不太熟悉的话,最好用正式文体。如虽认识但并不十分了解,文体可介于两个者之间。由此可见,私人邀请究竟用什么文体,关键看与被邀请人之间的亲疏的`程度。邀请信要明确写出活动(是晚会、晚餐还是一般的聚会等)、活动的时间地点组织这项活动的理由,有时还应告诉对方可能出席的人,另外一般希望对方给予答复,中小学英语《英语书信写作指导》。
(1) 非正式邀请信,如;
26 Coventry St.
London
Sept. 15th, 1999.
Dear Jack,
I am going to the cinema to see the Red River Valley and I have two tickets. Would you like to come? The film starts at 7:30 p.m. Maybe we can meet at the Covent Garden Station at 7:00 p.m. and have a drink before the film starts. Please phone me at home to let me know.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Love
Mary
这封信是写给朋友的,所以用语比较随便,比较口语化。
(2) 正式邀请信,如:
Dear Ms. Gupta;
It’s our great pleasure to announce that Jan. 19th is the 3rd anniversary of the founding of our corporation. We have a small party as follows: 7:00p.m.,Jan. 19th, Room No.123, Kunlun Hotel. At this moment, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our clients for both courtesy and support over the past three years. Please confirm if you plant to attend.
Yours Sincerely,
Lewis
这是一封正式邀请信,十分正规,无论从句式,还是用语都十分讲究。
