英語(yǔ)寫作：寫英文郵件的一點(diǎn)常識(shí)
無(wú)論在申請(qǐng)過(guò)程和小米們(Admission officer)的勾肩搭背，還是正式入學(xué)之后和tutor的郵件往來(lái)中，關(guān)于Formal letter和informal letter是國(guó)內(nèi)中學(xué)英語(yǔ)教育很少去提及的部分，英語(yǔ)老師也很少會(huì)講這個(gè)點(diǎn)，這里我只是說(shuō)下這兩種英文郵件的區(qū)別，起碼大家格調(diào)定好了再寫Email的時(shí)候不會(huì)給人無(wú)禮或不懂規(guī)矩的感覺(jué)。
一.Informal letter（非正式信函）:
1.Beginning(開頭):
Dear + first name
2.Friendly greeting(寒暄):
I hope this letter finds you well.
3.Contractions(寫縮寫):
I'm, didn't, couldn't, there's...
4.Questions(丟出問(wèn)題):
Do you remember...? Why don't you...?
5.Exclamation(感嘆):
...earlier than I thought it was!
6.Linking(連接詞可以口語(yǔ)化):
Well, Anyway, so, and
7.Phrases(短語(yǔ)可以口語(yǔ)化):
had a great time, couldn't have asked for, working flat out, back to normal
8.Ending(結(jié)尾):
Hope to see you soon + first name
二.Formal letter(正式信函):
1.Beginning(開頭):
Dear Sir or Madam
2.No greeting necessary(不用寒暄)
3.No contractions(不準(zhǔn)用縮寫):
I am, did not...
4.Normally avoid direct questions(問(wèn)問(wèn)題要客氣):
"I would like" instead of "Can I have?"
5.No exclamation marks( 不要用驚嘆號(hào))
6.Linking(連接詞不要口語(yǔ)化):
However, Consequently, and, also
7.Phrases and vocabulary(用詞稍高級(jí)):
with regard to, appliance, it was installed, the following day, failed to (meaning "didn't"), procedure, he assured me, report the issue, contacted, under warranty, I am entitled to, replacement, phone me personally
8.Ending(結(jié)尾):
I await your prompt response,
Yours faithfully + full name
從上面可以看出來(lái)，大家申請(qǐng)過(guò)程中肯定基本都是寫Formal letter的，所以用詞需要規(guī)矩一些，和tutor的話，看親密程度，熟悉的可以用informal letter，不熟悉的還是用formal letter以示對(duì)老師尊重。
