1、第二讲 应用文的写作方法,应用文是指人们在工作、学习、生活中传递信息，以达到交际目的的一种文体。这种文章需做到言简意赅、条理清楚，一般不需要过多修饰。应用文命题在历年考试中出现过次，占本书所考察四级真题总数的29.2% ,主要分为书信和口头两类。,第二讲 应用文的写作方法 应用文是指人们在工作、学,书信类：In Honor of Teachers on the Occasion of Teachers Day (2005年6月)A Letter in Reply to a Friend (2003年12月)A Letter to the University President About t
2、he Canteen Service on Campus (2002年1月)A Letter to a Schoolmate (2001年6月)口头类：An Announcement for a Voluntary Program (2006年6月17日)A Campaign Speech (2005年1月)A Brief Introduction to a Tourist Attraction (2004年6月),书信类：,仔细研读以上真题，我们不难发现，四级作文越来越突出“实用”两个字。像书信、演讲稿等实际生活中运用得到的文体，在1996-2006年的四级考试中共出现了七次，而且集中出现在
3、近几年。文章所涉及的内容也多种多样，大部分都与日常生活比较贴近。 书信的种类可能千变万化，如建议信、抱怨信、申请信（包括求职信）、邀请信、感谢信、道歉信、海报等，再加上口头应用文，如演讲稿、通知等，使得考生在备考时常理不清头绪。然而万变不离其宗，只要掌握了英文书信的基本格式，再参照写作模板，就能写出一篇合格的应用文。,仔细研读以上真题，我们不难发现，四级作文越来越,一、书信的格式 二、书信的语言 三、模板与解说 四、常用句式,一、书信的格式 应用文的一个最大特点是具有固定的格式和惯用的语句，考生必须遵循一定的书写格式和行文方法。下面首先针对书信的格式进行讲解。,一、书信的格式,一、书信的格式信
4、头（Heading） 信头包括发信人的单位名称、地址和发信日期等。发信人的信息应写在信纸的右上方，遵循“由小到大”的原则，如第一行写门牌号码、街道名，第二行写区名、城市名、省（州）名，若是寄往国外，还要在下一行写国名。著名城市可不必写省名。 日期的写法英美两国的习惯不尽相同，以下列举的几种在写作中都可以采用：美式：Jan. 30, 2002, Jan. 30th, 2002, Jan. 30 2002, Jan. 30th 2002;英式：30 Jan, 2002, 30th Jan., 2002, 30 Jan. 2002, 30th Jan. 2002。此外，信头一般采用并列式，即各行开头
5、一律左对齐。,一、书信的格式,信头（Heading） 信头部分有两点要特别注意： 第一，在标注写信日期时，最好避免如2/12/2006 这样的写法，以免引起歧义。因为这在美国人看来是2月12日，而在英国人看来则是12月2日。 第二，在四、六级考试中，无论要求中有无写明，日期是一定要给出的。因为缺少日期，是书信格式不合格的一种表现，会被扣除一定的分数。,信头（Heading）,称呼(Salutation) 称呼应比信内地址低两行，靠左边顶格自成一行。称呼后面美国人习惯加冒号，英国人习惯加逗号， 两种写法皆可。如： Dear Proferssor, (英式) Dear President:(美式)
6、最常用的称呼是：Dear+（头衔）+姓或名，如： Dear Prof . Geller, Dear Mr. Alan: Dear Isabel, Dear Pres. (President):(总经理、校长、会长、总统等),称呼(Salutation),称呼(Salutation)有时也在收信人姓名之前冠以尊称，如： Mr. (Mister) Geller, Mrs. (Mistress) Kidman: Miss Foster, Ms. Aniston: (女士通称，不分年龄)如果是一般朋友则可称呼为：My dear XXX,若给某个机构或不认识的人写信，可用如下称呼： Dear Sir/S
7、irs, Gentlemen: Ladies, Dear Sir or Madam:（用于不知道对方的性别时） To Whom It May Concern,（用于出具证明或类似的书信时）,称呼(Salutation),正文（Body） 正文有两种排版方式，即缩进式和齐头式。缩进式是指每个段落的开头空两格，段落之间没有空行；齐头式是指每个段落顶格写，段落之间空一行。通常商务信件采用齐头式，因为这样整个信件显得比较工整，层次一目了然。,正文（Body）,结束语（Complimentary Close） 结束语应写在与正文最后一行相隔一、二行的右下方位置，第一个字母大写，末尾要加逗号。常用结束语有
8、：Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Sincerely yours, Cordially yours, Sincerely等。 除此之外，在私人书信中还可以依照自己与收件人的关系和亲疏程度，选用以下结束语：Affectionately, Fondly, Yours with love, With best wishes, Love, Yours 等。,大学英语四级应用文写作课件,签名（Signature） 签名低于结束语一至二行，位于结束语的正下方。,大学英语四级应用文写作课件,二、书信的语言书信的语言有一定的规范。在四级考试书信类作文中，以下几点必须注意：开门见山中
9、国人倾向于迂回的思维方式，有时要等看完全文才明白作者的意图，着一点与英美人的习惯大相径庭。在书信写作时，英美人一般在问候之后直接说明意图，如：等，直截了当，一目了然。试想，若在求职信中滔滔不绝，直到最后才提“求职”二字，恐怕没有顾主会耐心看完。因此，写英文书信时，直接说明意图会起到好的效果。简洁书信是一种非面对面的交流，这种形式就决定了它应该用最简洁的语言表达尽可能丰富的内涵。考生应注意节约用词，做到简洁明了。,二、书信的语言,二、书信的语言清晰书信如果表达不清楚，收信人会看不明白，甚至引发误会。因此，写信时应仔细构思，力求表达清晰，阐述清楚。礼貌当对方地位较高时，或者互相不熟悉时，应用较为尊
10、敬的称呼，信的结尾处还要写上感谢一类的话。得体书信要写得得体，就必须考虑写信人和收信人的关系。若是公函，用词应当正式，经得起推敲给长辈写信，要用尊敬的语气，措辞不能过于随意；给同辈写信，用语也要讲礼貌。,二、书信的语言,三、信封的写法 英文信封的写法和中文完全不同。发信人的姓名和地址写在信封的左上角，收信人的姓名和地址写在信封的中央或稍靠右位置。这两处都是第一行写姓名，第二行起写地址，地址的写法是与信内地址一样，遵循“由小到大”的原则。,三、信封的写法,三、信封的写法,Zhang Ping English Department Beijing City University（发信人） 269
11、Mid Road of North Loop-4 Beijing, 100083 P. R. China Prof. George Jackson Warner Books 444 Madison Avenue (收信人) New York, NY 10022 U.S.A.,三、信封的写法 Zhang Ping,四、模板与解说 不管应用文的命题如何变化，写作时都能遵循一定的套路。简单说来，可以按照以下框架展开：第一段：告知对方你的身份（假如对方不认识你），简要叙述写信的原因；第二段：详细解释写信的意图（建议、批评、投诉、申请、邀请、感谢、道歉等）；第三段：发出请求，提供帮助，表示感谢，或期盼回
