书信写作指导及范文解析:
经过好学英文网总结,英文书信一般由以下五部分组成:
(1)信头(Heading):即写信人的地址和写信的日期、要写在信纸的右上角;
(2)称呼(Salutation):指对收信人的称呼,写在左上角,顶格写;称呼后面的标点一般用逗号“,”;
(3)正文(Body of the letter): 信件的主体部分。写在称呼的下一行,一般由左边第三或第五个字母处开始写起;
【注意】近些年来,中考增加了一种较为灵活的书信写作形式,即:写回信。这类题型中,书信正文的开头除简单的问候(How are you?/ How’s everything going?)外,应该总结一下上封来信中提出的问题、需求等,使读者更清楚地了解这封回信的意图。
(4)结束语(Closing): 指正文下面的结尾客套语。位置应低于正文一、二行。一般从信纸的中间稍右写起,第一个字母大写,末尾用逗号。常用的结束语有Yours sincerely, Yours, Sincerely yours, Yours truly等;
(5)署名(Signature): 写在结束语的下面。
练习题:
圣诞节快到了,你收到了一封来自圣诞老人的信。根据来信内容及提示信息,完成回信
正文部分的开头、主体和结尾。

I must go now to check on the busy little elves in the workshop where they are making all the toys and gifts for the good boys and girls. Let me know what present you want for the coming Christmas. We will be loading (装) the sleigh(雪橇) soon and heading your way!
I’m looking forward to your message.
Merry Christmas and Warmest Wishes!
