雖然考研英語(yǔ)大綱中羅列了多種應(yīng)用文類型,包括:投訴信、建議信、申請(qǐng)信、求職信、辭職信、求學(xué)信、求助信、感謝信、號(hào)召信、邀請(qǐng)信、道歉信、簡(jiǎn)歷、備忘錄、尋物啟事、招領(lǐng)啟事等,但是在具體的實(shí)踐中,常?嫉降氖菚拧S绕湓诮鼛啄甑目佳兄,應(yīng)用文寫作考得最多的就是書信體應(yīng)用文。下面我們就來(lái)先總體了解一下考研英語(yǔ)的書信寫作。
一、首段的寫作方法
1.問(wèn)候收信人
Dear Sir/Madam
2.解釋寫信的原因
申請(qǐng):I’m writing for an opportunity to work in your esteemed company that boasts of decades of reputation
邀請(qǐng):I’m writing to request your attendance to a dinner party that is to be held in Beijing on August.
感謝:I am writing to extend my heartfelt thanks (sincere gratitude)toward…
投訴:I am writing to complain about the poor quality of a product that I purchased from your store two weeks ago.
祝賀:I am writing to extend my sincere greetings, wishing you a happy New Year, your career greater success and your family happiness.
二、中間段的寫作方法
1.閱讀題目要求,找到可以用到的名詞或動(dòng)詞。
【示例】Write a letter of application according to the following situation. You saw an advertisement in this morning’s newspaper. A company needs a secretary and you are interested. Write an application letter to that company.
2.注意題目文字暗示,把名詞具體化,把動(dòng)詞近義詞化
【示例】I am pleased to discover from Beijing Youth that your company is calling for a secretary. I wonder if you could consider my application, for I am delighted to join your esteemed company. First, I can speak and write English fluently, which happens to meet your current requirement for the vacancy. Second, I have a good command of Microsoft Office System, Graphic Design and ADOBE system. Third and last, I am always ready to help other people because I’m patient, enthusiastic and sincere. Given these considerations, I sincerely hope that I can be a member of your esteemed company.
三、結(jié)尾段的寫作方法(三句話)
【示例】I would appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at…Look forward to your reply.
四、署名
在文章右下角署名,一般格式為:Your sincerely…
考試大綱規(guī)定,考生除了能寫不同類型的應(yīng)用文以外,還要能撰寫一般描述性、敘述性、說(shuō)明性或議論性的文章。做到語(yǔ)法、拼寫、標(biāo)點(diǎn)正確,用詞恰當(dāng);遵循文章的特定文體格式;合理組織文章結(jié)構(gòu),使其內(nèi)容統(tǒng)一、連貫;根據(jù)寫作目的和特定讀者,恰當(dāng)選用語(yǔ)域。
書信寫作看起來(lái)復(fù)雜,但其實(shí)都有規(guī)律可循,最后為各位總結(jié)一個(gè)應(yīng)用文寫作的七字訣,大家只要熟記并有效運(yùn)用就沒(méi)問(wèn)題:開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山說(shuō)意圖,信息要點(diǎn)覆蓋到,舉一反三講細(xì)節(jié),語(yǔ)言正式詞多變,感謝客氣不能少,期待回信成老套。
