英语写信的格式
英语书信是英语中最常见的应用文体裁,用途极为广泛。在英语书信的写作当中,学习者首先应该关注的是英语书信格式,其次就是英语书信内容。英语书信格式包含信封的格式和信文内容的格式;小编整理了英语写信的格式范文,欢迎阅读
英文书信结构要素
(1)信头(Letterhead)。
信头包括发信人的地址和发信日期。很多人不太注意保留信封,在信内的打上发信人地址就方便收信人回信。如果使用已经印好信头的信纸,就只要打上发信日期。信头位于信的最上方,原则上首先按从小到大的顺序(正好与中文书信相反),门牌号码和街名或单位名占一行(太长可占两行),城镇名和邮政编码占一行,国名占一行。然后是发信日期,它是信头的最后一行,可以写成日月年(英式)也可写成月日年(美式),如:May8,1996或8May,1996. 必然说明的是,月份要写英文名称,否则有可能产生歧义,如5/8/1996,美国人会理解为1996年5 月8 日,而英国人则理解为1996年8月5日。
(2)封内地址(Inside Address)。
封内地址包括收信人的姓名和地址。封内地址必须和信封地址一致,否则就是出了差错,收信人此时可将信退回或按封内地址转寄。封内地址的第一行是收信人姓名,第二行职务,从第三行开始写收信人地址,写出法原则上和写发信人地址一样。
(3)称呼(Salutation)。
称呼应与亲近程度相吻合。最为正式的也是最不亲近的称呼为Dear Sir(英国用)或Dear Genteman (美国用),一般用于给政府机关、官员的公函中,或用于首次往来的商业书信中。比较熟识的人由应称他的姓,最随便也是最亲近的称呼是直呼其名,一般用于亲朋好友,但应注意,称姓时只称姓,不要又称名,而称名时不要加Dr或Mr. 如某人全名为William.另外,如果对方为女性却不知应称Mrs.还是Miss时可称Ms. 。称呼后面的标点英国人习惯用逗号,而美国人习惯用冒号(亲朋好友之间可用逗号)。
(4)正文(Body)。
正文是信的主体,和中文书信的要求一样,正文的内容要主题突了出、层次清楚、语言简洁、表达准确。如果正文很长需要几张信纸联页时,则应在每张联页左上端都注明页数和收信人名称,如:Mr.WilliamJ.Hall
(5)结束语(Complimentary Close)。
结束语是习惯的客套用语,它必须和前面的称呼遥相呼应。如果前面称Dear Sir,则应选择下列结束语:Very simcerely yours ,Vedry respecrfully yours,Very truly yours ,Sincerely yours 或Yours sincedrely,Respe-crfullky yours 或Yours respecrfullyFaithfully yours 或 Yours faith-fully.如果前面称姓,则应选择下列是结束语:Sincerely yours 或Yours sincerely ,Truly yours 或Yokkurs truly ,Yours ever. 如果前面称名,则表示写信人与收信人的关系亲近友好,应选择下列结束语:SincerelyYours,Love,All my love.
(6)签名和发信人姓名(Signaturd and Name Addresser)。
签名因为是亲笔手写,可能不好辩认,因此必须还要打印出来。签名只需签姓名,不需加Mr. 或Mrs.,以及学位头衔等,但打印姓名时,因为中文名没有性别之分,所以中文拼音名前就加Mr.或Mrs.,Miss.,Ms.,以便收信人辨认,英文名男性不必加Mr.,但女性要加Mrs.,Miss.,Ms. ,打印名后面可加学位头衔等。
一封完整的英文书信必须依序包含上述六个要素。如果信件有附件并有必要提醒收信人,可在第六个要素之后加上附件注记(Enclosure 或Encl.)。如果整封信写好后又发现遗漏了什么,可在附件注记之后加上又启(Postscript)或其缩写(P.S.)进行补充。

常用句型:(做某事有困难)
1、I have trouble in doing sth.
2、I find it extremely hard for me to do sth.
3、Doing sth is another terrible headache for me.
常见困难:
1、与人相处 get along well with my classmates/ the new teacher / my parents.(和我的同学/新老师/父母相处)
2、把握时间 arrange and make good use of my everyday time for valuable things. (安排和利用每天的时间去做有意义的事情)

----生活方面
1、不懂语法
have trouble in mastering the advanced grammar rules and put them into use in my speaking and writing. (觉得掌握高级语法并应用于口语和写作很难。)
2、进步太慢
find myself making progress not as fast as before, which has been annoying me for a long time.(典型的好孩子啊!发现自己进步没有以前快了,感到很苦恼...情商的体现!)
3、精力有限 cant be passionate and energetic all day long so as to make every moment meaningful and splendid. (没法儿一天到晚精力充沛以便把每个瞬间都过得精彩和有意义——这句话绝对会让老师对你肃然起敬...)
----学习方面
道歉信:描述不能或没能做到某事(如:赴约、还书、提供某种帮助)的原因
一般要以记叙文的形式写出以下三个内容:
1: 不能做某事的缘由;
2:对方能够谅解你的理由
3:衷心希望对方能够谅解;
【示例1】因不能按期还书而道歉——因为被我表妹强行借走了
Dear Kate,
How is everything going? I am writing to beg your pardon for my long delaying in returning to you your “Gone with the Wind” which I read through with great interest.
I had already finished reading the book and was about to return it when my cousin came to see me. Never having seen the book, She was so interested in it that I had no choice but to allow her finish the book. I hope that in view of the additional delight thus afforded by your book, you will overlook my negligence(疏忽)in not returning it sooner. (然而,看在你的那本书能够带来的双倍喜悦的面子上,希望你能够原谅我没有及早还书的错误)
I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation. Thanking you again for the loan.
Sincerely yours,
Tom
注:除了道歉信中间段落需要写成记叙形式,其余五种书信都应该写成议论形式。不管是记叙还是议论,中间段落第一句都应该写一个概括性质的“主题句”——这是我们的原则!
三、结尾段:想写好第三段,就要背过各种客套话
【六种书信“结尾段”最佳写法】
自荐信:
Hopefully the chance would be offered to me. If chosen/elected, I would dedicate all my energy and wisdom to the company/activity/club/class. Thank you for reading my letter/ listening to my speech in such a hot summer. Looking forward do your reply at your earliest convenience./ I wont let you down.(我不会让你们失望)
注:在这个段落模板中,我们融合了自荐信结尾段和竞选演讲结尾段两个段落,两种结尾段都需要四个句子。
感谢信:
I, on behalf of my whole family/class/school, would like to thank you again for what you have done for me/us. May you be blessed in everything you do.
我代表我的全家再次向你所做的一切向你表达感谢。祝你万事如意!
邀请信:
