写作答题技巧
书信的格式
书信是重要的交际工具。英文书信分为两大类：公务信件和私人信件。公务信件是单位与单位或单位与个人之间的书信来往，可能是推荐信、谋职信、入学申请书、邀请信或询问、答复、反映意见等等信件。私人信件是指亲朋好友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般来说，私人信件不拘形式，信文多用手写，也可打印；公务信件要求比较严格，必须遵循一定的格式，信文一定要打印。
英文信件一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。
1．信头（Heading）
信头是发信人的地址和日期，通常写在第一页的右上角，行首可以齐头写，也可进行缩进去写。行尾可用也可不用标点符号。地址由小到大：门牌号码、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名，最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期就行。学生写信，按班级名称、系科名称、学校名称、市、省、国名的顺序。 例：Shahe Road
Caiyuan Town
Shengsi, Zhejiang, 202450
China
April 19, 2007
2．信内地址(Inside Address)
信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项，在私人信件中，这一项可常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角，格式与寄信人地址一样。
3．称呼(Salutation)
称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。英国人称呼后用逗号，美国人常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字，但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓，大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。
如：Dear Professor/ Prof. Smith:
Dear Dr. Stein:
Dear Ms. Santos:
对不相识的人可按性别称呼：Dear Sir：或Dear Madam：Dear ladies： 如不知性别可用Dear Sir or madam：
对收信人的婚姻状况不详，可用Ms．称呼等。
4．正文(Body)
正文是书信的主体，书信的选词造句要准确、严谨，语言规范、简洁。书信正文的开头往往要说明写信人的身份及写信的宗旨，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，加以必要的解释或说明。
5．结尾(Complimentary Close)
公务信件的结尾包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。在公务信件中，发信人常用的结尾套语有：“Yours truly”, “Yours sincerely”, “Sincerely yours”, “Cordially yours”或“Yours cordially”等。在私人信件中，发信人一般用“Yours sincere1y”，“Yours truly”或“Yours faithfully”。亲密的人用“Yours lovely”或“lovely yours”，“Yours affectionately”, “yours loving son/ daughter”。对上级或长者用“yours respectfully”, “Yours gratefully”等。
6．签名
签名一定要写清楚，写在致敬语下面2---3行稍偏右处，也可与其对齐。
附：书信开头常用语：
1. How’s everything with you？你一切都好吗？
2. I hope everything is all right with you. 我希望你一切都好。
3. How are you？ 你好吗？
4. I often think of you. How have you been recently？我常常想起你，你近来好吗？
5. How are you getting along these days? I miss you very much.你近来过得如何，我十分想念你。
6. I am very glad to receive your letter of May 1st. 我很高兴收到你5月1日的来信。
7. Thank you for writing to me. 谢谢你给我写信。
8. Your letter came to my hand yesterday.我是昨天收到你的来信的。
9. It’s a long time since I got your last letter. 我收到你的信已经很长时间了。
10. I have been so busy recently that I could hardly find any time to write.我最近很忙，未能抽出时间给你写信。
11. I am so sorry for not having written to you for such a long time.十分抱歉，好久没有给你写信了。
12. Many thanks to you, my dear friend, for the wonderful present you have sent to me.亲爱的朋友，谢谢你送给我那么好的礼物。
英语书信结尾常常写一些祝愿、问候他人，盼回信等话语。常用的语句有：
1．With best wishes.致以良好的祝愿。
2．Please write to me as soon as possible.请尽快给我写信。
3．Please write to me when you have time.有时间请给我写信。
4．I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.盼望早日收到你的来信。
5．Thank you for an early reply. 承蒙早复，不胜感激。
6．I’m afraid I have to stop now, but I’ll write to you again soon. 我恐怕得停笔了，但不久我会再给你写信。
7．Please send my best regards to your parents. 请代我向你父母问好。
8．With every kind wish for you and your family. 向你和你的家人表示良好的祝愿。
9．Please remember me to your sister. 请代问你姐姐好。
10．Hoping you will have a good trip. 祝你旅途愉快。
