考研小作文
1、格式
称呼:英语应用文称呼有这样的特点,如果是不认识的人,一般称呼为敬词+尊称。例如,Dear Sir or Madam ;如果是写给关系正式的某团体或个人,称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如,Dear Mr. xx或Dear Ms.xx;对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名。
正文:正文格式一般格式为首段开头空四个字母,段落之间不空行;现在流行的格式,每段开头不空格,但是各段之间空一行。万学海文提醒考生在格式方面可以根据自己的习惯进行选择。只要让阅卷人看得舒服,且完全符合应用文要求的文体就可以。
对付小作文的不变妙招
1. 了解哪些内容可能用到应用文。
可能用的应用文的有:信件、通知、邀请、致谢、答复、询问、申请、应聘、推荐、慰问、请假等。以上的分类也只能说是大概,因为有的时候,有的内容是交叉的。例如,用信的形式请假或慰问。
2. 掌握各种应用文的格式。
虽然应用文因内容不同,在格式上有所不同,但最基本的形式是信件格式所以,掌握信件格式是尤为重要的。
传统信件格式是:
在第一行的右边写上日期,第二行的左边写上Dear 某某某,第三行开始是信的内容。内容结束后,另起一之两行,在右下方写上sincerely yours,yours sincerely这样的话语,再下一行写上自己的名字。请看下面的图示:
August 1, 2011
Dear Sir,
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
这种格式在当今的现实当中,特别是在email 当中,内容也可以顶头写,包括sincerely yours 和名字,但不同内容之间是要隔上一行的。信的内容中,如果有两段以上,也要隔行。 注意事项:
(1)如果月在前,是美国写法; 如果日在前,是英国写法。建议采用美国写法。因为英国人要用的话,喜欢采用01/08/2011。月名不要采用简写形式,用全拼法。年后面不要加逗号或句号,甚至随意落笔一点。
(2)月与日之间没有逗号。
(3)Dear某某某之后,要用逗号,不用冒号。
(4)sincerely那行后面也是,只能用逗号。如果采用顶头写的方式,一般dear 行和sincerely 行后面的逗号都需要去掉。由于考试卷子空间有限,建议还是采用传统的写法。
(5)落款后面没有标点。
(6)信通常分为公函和私信。私信的语言可以随便,但公函则要正规。作为考试项目,当然以公函形式为多,所以语言尽量正规,不要用缩写(除了Mr 和Mrs 之外) 。不要用口语。如果你分不清口语与书面语之间的差异的话,就采用语法完整的句子。
3. 掌握各种应用文一定的套话。由于设计到的内容较多,所以在此省略列举。

2006年真题解析
You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out your plan.
Don't sign your own name...."Li Ming" instead. Don't write the address.
To whom it may concern,
I wish to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Having conceived such a plan for a long period, I write this letter to request your help to recommend a candidate.
I wonder if it is convenient for you if two things concerning the child are taken into consideration. First, the child should come from Gui Zhou Province because I intend to help a child from my hometown. Second, it will be better if the child is a primary school student. Actually, I am good at teaching mathematics at elementary level.
My plan will be carried out as follows. First, I will remit at least 300 yuan in cash every month so as to reduce the financial burden of the family. More importantly, I decide to teach the child math and English in person during my summer vacation, which will surely be more beneficial to the child.
I really appreciate your help, and I look forward to your reply as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
感谢信
Directions:
Your delegation (代表团)has just returned from a visit to a university in Great Britain. And you were warmly treated there by Professor Herthwell. Please write a letter to express your thanks to him for his hospitality and hope for further cooperation.
Dear Prof. Herthwell, (告诉了名字,又知道是教授,最好这么称呼)
I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for your kind hospitality you showed to our delegation during our visit in your university.(写信意图:感谢对方的热情招待)
I am indebted to your generous help to our visit. It was nice of you to introduce me to so many of your famous professors at your university. In addition, we appreciate the accommodation you provided for us. We had a fantastic time in Britain and will never forget it. (感激内容:鉴于这是感谢信,内容发生在过去,在这里套用I would be grateful if you would take „into consideration是不太合适的。用关联词1,2,3也显得呆板。于是调整了一下,大意是:
我感激你的慷慨帮助。你介绍了很多教授给我认识。另外,(IN ADDITION ,不用1,2,3了) ,提供的住宿很好,我们很爽,绝对不会忘记)(注意时态)
Meanwhile, I hope you will someday pay a short visit to our university and give us some lectures on “Modern Western Economics ”. (这句是提纲要求 hope for further cooperation. 不写的话严重扣分) (或者I would be grateful if you would pay a short visit to our university)If you have interest in our university, please feel free to contact me for more information.
Yours Sincerely
Li Ming
