书信题型写作是应用文写作中常见的功能性写作形式，书信写作的准备一是宏观，就是要掌握它的格式，基本框架，就是先写什么，后写什么；二是微观，具体到语言如何使用。

一、书信写作考察的结构

①日期，写信人应将写信日期(年，月，日)放在书信正文的右上角，如Jan. 30th, 20xx。

提醒：考研书信写作没有要求考生必须写时间，如果没有把握自己的时间书写格式是正确的，建议考生不要写，以免出错反而扣分。

② 称呼，称呼是写信人对收信人的称谓，称呼可以根据收信人的性别，职务，婚姻状况，姓名等个人信息来写，如：Mr. Williams, Mrs. Bush, Professor Li, Dr. Smith, Dear Mum and Dad

如果写信人不清楚收信人的具体姓名，职务等情况，可以写：Dear Sir or Madam, To whom it may concern。

③ 正文，正文是书信的主要部分，在称呼下方隔一或两行处开始。考生写正文时，要分层次进行。书信正文通常由引言，展开段和结尾三个层次组成。

?引言，引言表明写信人的写信目的和写信背景，一般仅限于一段，一两句话即可。

提醒：此处考生容易犯一个错误：照抄题目的表达，甚至原句，这是一个严重的错误，在阅卷过程至少会扣到2分，希望广大考生要注意。

?展开段，展开段内容应详实，具体。可以分为若干段来写，每一段围绕一个主题展开。

提醒：提醒广大考生，题干中的要点必须全部包含，考生若是在漏掉一个要点(一般小作文有3个要点)会至少扣掉3分。

?结尾，结尾部分通常比引言部分短，使用一两句话表达一下希望或祝愿。

④ 结束语，结束语是写信人对收信人的谦称，写在正文下面二至三行处。公务等较正式的信件多采用Yours sincerely, Sincerely yours, Yours faithfully, Yours truly 等；私人信件，多采用Yours, With love, Yours affectionately 等。

⑤ 签名，签名应写在结束语的下面。

二、主体段语言的操作

书信按照指令边想边写。主体第一段一句话，开门见山，提出写信的目的，表明信的性质：是投诉信还是申请信还是请求信？我为什么要写这封信？常用句式包括：

I am writing to complain about…

I am writing to thank… for… /express my gratitude for …

I am writing to ask for…

I am writing to apply for…

正文第二段，100个字左右，8、9句话。

此段写作的中心任务是把题目中的提纲进行扩展。如果有3条提纲，可以每一条提纲扩充3句。怎么样扩充，主要是发挥点小小的想象力，有两种思路，一是将上义拆分成为若干下义，二是把一件事情说得更为形象具体。比如第一条指令，题目里面说是books，可以细化为各种各样的书，这就是下义拆分法。还可以具体描写一下这些书是什么样子的。同样第二个指令里面的methods of payment,和第三个指令里面的time and way of delivery都可以采用这两种方法进行扩展。

结尾，一般为礼貌性的套话，一般都是焦急等待着您的回信I am looking forward to your reply足以，或者I would appreciate it if you could send a replay at your earliest convenience也行。

以下为书信写作中常用的经典句型参考，希望大家在写作中活学活用。
