壹、書信寫作考察的結構
①日期，寫信人應將寫信日期(年，月，日)放在書信正文的右上角，如Jan. 30th， 2010.
提醒：考研書信寫作沒有要求考生必須寫時間，如果沒有把握自己的時間書寫格式是正確的，建議考生不要寫，以免出錯反而扣分。
②稱呼，稱呼是寫信人對收信人的稱謂，稱呼可以根據收信人的性別，職務，婚姻狀況，姓名等個人信息來寫，如：Mr. Williams， Mrs. Bush， Professor Li， Dr. Smith， Dear Mum and Dad
如果寫信人不清楚收信人的具體姓名，職務等情況，可以寫：Dear Sir or Madam， To whom it may concern.
③正文，正文是書信的主要部分，在稱呼下方隔壹或兩行處開始。考生寫正文時，要分層次進行。書信正文通常由引言，展開段和結尾三個層次組成。
?引言，引言表明寫信人的寫信目的和寫信背景，壹般僅限於壹段，壹兩句話即可。
提醒：此處考生容易犯壹個錯誤：照抄題目的表達，甚至原句，這是壹個嚴重的錯誤，在閱卷過程至少會扣到2分，希望廣大考生要註意。
?展開段，展開段內容應詳實，具體。可以分為若幹段來寫，每壹段圍繞壹個主題展開。
提醒：提醒廣大考生，題幹中的要點必須全部包含，考生若是在漏掉壹個要點(壹般小作文有3個要點)會至少扣掉3分。
?結尾，結尾部分通常比引言部分短，使用壹兩句話表達壹下希望或祝願。
④結束語，結束語是寫信人對收信人的謙稱，寫在正文下面二至三行處。公務等較正式的信件多采用Yours sincerely， Sincerely yours， Yours faithfully， Yours truly等;私人信件，多采用Yours， With love， Yours affectionately等。
⑤簽名，簽名應寫在結束語的下面。
二、主體段語言的操作
書信按照指令邊想邊寫。主體第壹段壹句話，開門見山，提出寫信的目的，表明信的性質：是投訴信還是申請信還是請求信?我為什麽要寫這封信?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個字左右，8、9句話。
此段寫作的中心任務是把題目中的提綱進行擴展。如果有3條提綱，可以每壹條提綱擴充3句。怎麽樣擴充，主要是發揮點小小的想象力，有兩種思路，壹是將上義拆分成為若幹下義，二是把壹件事情說得更為形象具體。比如第壹條指令，題目裏面說是books，可以細化為各種各樣的書，這就是下義拆分法。還可以具體描寫壹下這些書是什麽樣子的。同樣第二個指令裏面的methods of payment，和第三個指令裏面的time and way of delivery都可以采用這兩種方法進行擴展。
結尾，壹般為禮貌性的套話，壹般都是焦急等待著您的回信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。
以下為書信寫作中常用的經典句型參考，希望大家在寫作中活學活用。
