邮件写作一例

尹继友

[試题呈现]

假设你是李华，曾在美国学习半年，现已回国。你想联系你的美国老师Mr. Smith，但没有其联系方式。请根据以下要点给你的美国同学Tom写一电子邮件：

1. 感谢Tom对你英语学习的帮助；

2. 询问Mr. Smith 的近况并索要其联系方式；

3. 邀请Tom在春节期间来中国感受中国文化。

注意：1. 词数120～150；

2. 可适当增加细节。

[审题]

1. 体裁：电子邮件。

2. 时态：一般现在/过去/将来时。

3. 人称：第一人称。

4. 结构

开始称呼和问候。

接着是正文（The Body）部分：

因为你是主动写电子邮件给别人，首先就要表明你的意图，如I am writing to you for ...，Im writing in reference to ...；

理顺要点，防止漏写、乱写以保证内容的完整性，然后将理顺的要点完整地表达出来；

有效衔接，串句成篇。正确地选用关联词，如however，whats more，and，but，first，then，after等，使文章过渡自然、流畅；

正文最后还要写上感谢收信人的礼貌用语，如Thank you for ...及I look forward to hearing from you。

最后是结束语，如Yours truly，Yours respectfully，Yours sincerely，Yours faithfully等。

5. 表达

要凸显文章亮点，增加得高分机会，还要考虑到语言表达的多样性：既要使用简单句，也要使用复合句、并列句；措辞要讲究，既要使用普通词语，也要使用高级词汇。

Dean Tom，

Im li Hua. Do you still remember me？ I studied in your school for six months a couple of months ago.

Im very grateful for your help that you gave me when I studied there. It was you who gave me a hand when I got in trouble. Without your help， my English couldnt have been improved so quickly and I couldnt have enjoyed myself so much. Do you know how everything is going on with Mr. Smith？ I failed to get in touch with him after I left America. I will be very thankful if you could offer me his e-mail or telephone number.

I know that you show great interest in Chinese culture， dont you？ Therefore， I feel honored to invite you to visit our country during the Spring Festival to feel our culture. Im firmly convinced that it will be an unforgettable trip. I will be very happy if you can accept my invitation.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours，

Li Huaendprint
