英语写信作文【第一篇】
20 March 2006
Dear Sir,
I was very interested in your advertisement in today's edition of The Evening Post and I should like to apply to be a member of the Amazon Expedition team.
I am twenty-three years old and have an honors degree in Botany from Bath University. Since leaving university I have been working in a research laboratory but my contract comes to an end in six weeks. I would particularly like to join the expedition for the opportunity it would give me to study the plant life of the area.
I enjoy several outdoor activities including rowing and rock climbing and I consider myself to be both fit and healthy enough to undertake such an expedition.
If you would like me to attend an interview, I would be able to come at any time convenient to you, (J1) my employers have agreed to give me time off for the purpose.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Lily Ma
英语书信格式及范文【第二篇】
书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进行交际的工具,也是高考书面表达中常见的考试文体。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异,英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样,有些地方迥然不同。本章将向大家介绍一般格式及各种常见信件,如家信、祝贺信、道歉信及自荐信等。
一般格式
英文书信的构成可分为8个部分:
信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 结束语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature), 附言(P. S.)
信头(Heading)
信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的`顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:①齐头式 ②缩进式
注意:写地址的次序与中文不同,应先写门牌号码街道,然后城市和国名。写地址时采用齐头或缩进式,以及每行后要不要加标点符号,都没有固定的规定。如写给经常往来的亲友,这项地址也可以省略。
日期(Date):
写日期注意下列各点:①年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”;②月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字来代替,如7/4/99 或7, 4, 99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,1999,而美国则代表4th July,1999。 ③日期可用1,2,3,4…11,12…21,22…31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th…11th,21th…22nd…31st等。
日期的几种写法:a.July 7,1998 b.1st October, 1998 c.30 Nov., 1997 d.Sep. 3rd, 1999 ④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后,这是很多学生的常见错误。
收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)
写信人的地址和日期写好以后,接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写,而在给极熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行,收信人地址可分两行或三行写,和写信人的地址一样,上下可取齐,也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号,称号因人而异。
①对普通男子用Mr;②对未婚女子用Miss;③对已婚女子用Mrs,对婚姻状况不明确的通常用Ms(后跟本人姓);
④对男子用Master;⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof.或Dr.
称呼(Salutation)
称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各种称呼因人而异。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,
②对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,
③对朋友、同学a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,
④对未婚女子:a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce,
⑤对一般女子,不论是否结婚:a.Madame, b.Dear Madame,
⑥对已婚女子:a.Dear Mrs Helen Jackson, b.My dear Mrs Helen Jackson,
⑦对公司、工厂、学校等:a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,
信文(Body of the letter)
信文是信件的主体部分,也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。
开头语
①相当于中文的“敬君者”。
a.I beg to inform you that…
b.I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that …
c.I have the honor to address you that…
d. I write in a hurry to inform you that…
e.I have the pleasure to tell you that…
f. I'm very much delighted to inform you that…
②相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信,一切知悉”。
a.I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th …
b.Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.
c.It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.
d.In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that …
e.I have received your kind letter of May 20th.
f.Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.
g.Your letter dated May 20th has been received.
结尾语
采用三种方法:
①采用分词短语:句末用逗号,不用句号。例如:
a.Waiting for your good news,
b.Looking forward to your early reply,
c.Hoping to hear from you soon,
d.Hoping you are enjoying good health,
e.Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply,
f.Regretting the trouble I'm causing you,
g.Wishing you every success,
h.Wishing you a pleasant journey,
i.Wishing you a happy New Year,
②采用介词短语,例如:
a.With best regards,
b.With kind regards to your family,
c.With best wishes to you and yours,
d.With best wishes for y☆☆our success and happiness,
e.With best wishes for your success in your new field of work,
f.With best regards and wishing you all success,
g.With warmest regards,
h.With best regards to you and your family,
i.With the season's greetings,
③采用完整句子:
a.We are waiting for your good news.
b.I hope to receive your early reply.
c.We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
d.I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.
结束语(Complimentary Close)
结束语的一般写法如下:
① 业务书信常用:Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours, ② 公函常用:Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely,
③私人书信常用:Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever, ④给亲戚朋友的信常用:Love, All my love, Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc. Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,
署名(Signature)
下面是署名的例子:
① 个人署名:truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,
②公司署名:Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager
附言(Postscript)
发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说,可以在信末署名下面几行写上, P. S. (Postscript
的缩写),然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚,尽量少用或不用。
以上英文书信结构8个部分在信内的位置如下:
假定你是英国学生(John),在上海二中学习,于6月1日给Babara写信,谈谈伦敦与上海的不同,100~120字,内容如下:
伦敦 上海
汽车靠左行 汽车靠右行
很多人乘汽车上班 多数人骑自行车上班
阴天多晴天多
一星期工作五天 一星期工作五天
懂汉语人少 懂英语的人多
学生较放松 学生较勤奋
参考词语
气候:climate
英语写信作文【第三篇】
20 July 2006
Dear Mr. Wang,
Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association)。 Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.
Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.
Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.
英语书信格式及范文【第四篇】
书信是人们在日常生活和工作中进行交际的工具。由于民族语言和习惯上的差异,英语信件在书写格式及表达方式上与汉语不大一样,有些地方迥然不同。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来往的书信,可能是推荐信、求职信、入学申请书、邀请信,或询问、答复、反映意见(如投诉信)等的信件。私人信件是指亲戚朋友之间的通信。这两类书信各有自己的格式。一般说来,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。
一般格式
英文书信的构成可分为7个部分:
信头(Heading), 日期(Date), 收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address), 称呼(Salutation), 信文(Body of the letter), 结束语(Complimentary close), 署名(Signature)
信头(Heading)
信头是指发信人的单位名称或地址。一般情况下发信人只需把自己的地址写(打字,手写均可)在信的右上角,离开信纸的顶头约1英寸,占二三行或四行均可,格式如下:
① 齐头式
② 缩进式 私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。
Example: 123 Tianhe Road
Tianhe District
Guangzhou 510620
Guangdong Province
P. R. C.
Jan. 8, 2010
日期(Date):
① 年份应写全,例如不能用“99”来代替“1999”;
② 月份应写英文名称,除May, July外,可用缩写,如:Sep., Oct.。但不要用数字
来代替,如7/4/99 或7, 4, 99,因为在英国此日期代表 7th April,1999,而美国则代表4th July,1999。
③ 日期可用1,2,3,4…11,12…21,22…31等,也可用lst,2nd,3rd,4th…11th,
21th…22nd…31st等。
日期的几种写法:a.July 7,1998b.1st October, 1998
c.30 Nov., 1997d.Sep. 3rd, 1999
④特别注意英文书信日期应紧接着写信人地址下一行,不能像写中文书信那样写在书信签名之后。
收信人姓名及地址(Inside Name and Address)
写信人的地址和日期写好以后,接着就要写收信人的姓名和地址,一般的事务信件或给较生疏的朋友的信件要写,而在给极熟的朋友的信中则可省去。这一项写在日期下一行的左上角。收信人姓名写一行,收信人地址可分两行或三行写,和写信人的地址一样,上下可取齐,也可以向右缩进。在姓名前一般要加上称号,称号因人而异。
①对普通男子用Mr;②对未婚女子用Miss;③对已婚女子用Mrs,对婚姻状况不明确的通常
用Ms(后跟本人姓);④对男子用Master;⑤对教授或博士(医生)用Prof.或Dr.
称呼(Salutation)
称呼指的是信文开头的那种称呼,如Dear , Mr, Uncle,各种称呼因人而异。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方,中间空一至二行。在称呼后面一般是用逗号,但也有用冒号的。现归纳如下:①对父母、兄弟、姐妹等;a.Father, b.My dear Mother, c. Dear Sister, d. Dear Tom,
②对亲戚:a.My dear Auntie, b.Dear Cousin, c.My dear Cousin,
③对朋友、同学a.My dear friend, b.Dear Mr Jackson, c.My dear Mr Jackson, d.Dear Sir,
④对未婚女子:a.Dear Miss Luce, b.My dear Miss Luce,

⑦对公司、工厂、学校等:a.Dear Sirs, b.Sirs, c.Gentlemen,
⑧如果不知收信人的性别
: Dear Sir or Madam
信文(Body of the letter)
信文是信件的主体部分,也就是信的内容。正文应在称呼下两行开始。信的开头第一个字母通常和称呼开头第一个词平齐。也有往后退四个或八个字母的。正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再阐明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。 书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并表明自己写信的主要目的。
下面介绍一些开头语和结尾语。
开头语 ①相当于中文的“敬君者”。
a.I beg to inform you that…
b.I beg to take this opportunity to inform you that …
c.I have the honor to address you that…
d. I write in a hurry to inform you that…
e.I have the pleasure to tell you that…
f. I'm very much delighted to inform you that…
②相当于中文的“接读某月某日来信,一切知悉”。
a.I thank you very much for your letter of May 20th …
b.Your letter of May 20th has been received with thanks.
c.It gives me great pleasure to receive your kind of May 20th.
d.In answer to your kind letter of May 20th, I deeply regret that …
e.I have received your kind letter of May 20th.
f.Words can't express my delight on finding your favor of yesterday on my desk this morning.
g.Your letter dated May 20th has been received.
结尾语
采用三种方法:
①采用分词短语:句末用逗号,不用句号。例如:
a.Waiting for your good news,
b.Looking forward to your early reply,
c.Hoping to hear from you soon,
d.Hoping you are enjoying good health,
e.Regretting that I can't give you a more favorite reply,
f.Regretting the trouble I'm causing you,
g.Wishing you every success,
h.Wishing you a pleasant journey,
i.Wishing you a happy New Year,
②采用介词短语,例如:
a.With best regards,
b.With kind regards to your family,

d.With best wishes for your success and happiness,
e.With best wishes for your success in your new field of work,
f.With best regards and wishing you all success,
g.With warmest regards,
h.With best regards to you and your family,
i.With the season's greetings,
③采用完整句子:
a.We are waiting for your good news.
b.I hope to receive your early reply.
c.We look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
d.I thank you very much for your services, and wish your continued success.
结束语(Complimentary Close)
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。
结束语的一般写法如下:
① 业务书信常用:Yours faithfully, Faithfully yours, Yours truly, Truly yours, Sincerely yours,
② 公函常用:Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours sincerely,
③私人书信常用:Sincerely yours, Yours very sincerely, Yours affectionately, Yours ever,
④给亲戚朋友的信常用:Love, All my love, Your(ever)loving son/daughter/cousin , etc. Your affectionate nephew, lovingly, Lovingly yours,
署名(Signature)
写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信,在写信人签名的上方,同样应该打上写信人的姓名。
下面是署名的例子:
① 个人署名:truly, W. J. Watson ,Yours faithfully,
②公司署名:Legend Computer Company, Wang Lin ,Sales Manager
除以上七个部分外,有时一些英语书信还包括:
(1)附件 (Enclosure),以Enc. 表示,如“附有。。。。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate;
(2)附言(Postscript),以 表示;发信人有时在写完信后又想起一件比较重要的事没有说,可以在信末署名下面几行写上, P. S.,然后将要补充的话写上。不过要注意写信时最好将事情一次讲清楚,尽量少用或不用。
(3)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…),以 表示,说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。
主要在私人信件中使用,事务信件中应避免使用,以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和 大都用在商贸信函中。
信封(envelope)。英语的信封和中文的一样,有三部分组成,即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置(信封的右上角)和中文的一样外,英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角,收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处,如下:
2.书写款式
英语书信的款式一般有两种:齐头式 (Block Style) 和折衷式 (Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用,以显示信件内容的严肃性,真实性, 可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便,主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人
之间不是第一次通信,相互比较了解,可以省略信内的双方地址。
以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。
A: 齐头式信件款式:
注:用齐头式信件写信,其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。(转载于 m 书 业 网)每段的第一句句子不需要空
格,但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方,这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方,这种形式则表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。
