英语作文--常见英语应用文格式分析和样本(作文范例)

1、一、英文书信通常包括6个组成部分：信头（heading，包括寄信人地址和日期);信内地址（inside address，指收信人地址);称呼（salutation）;正文（body）;结束语（complimentary）; 签名（signature）;1. 信头（Heading）：信头是指发信人的地址和日期，通常写在第一页的右上角。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。地址要由小到大，如下述：123 Tianhe RoadTianhe DistrictGuangzhou Guangdong ProvinceP. R. C.March 15, 2002 日期可有下列几种写法： Oct. 20, 2004

2、； 10 May., 2004； 3rd June, 2004； Sept. 16th, 2004。其中，最为通用。2. 信内地址 （Inside Address ）：信内地址要写收信人的姓名和地址。在公务信件中要写明这一项，在私人信件中，这一项常常省略。该项写在写信日期下一行的左上角。 3 .称呼（Salutation） 称呼是对收信人的称谓。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。如：DearProfessor/Prof.Bergen: DearDr.Johnson,对不相识的人可按性别称呼：DearSir:或DearMadam:DearLadies。

3、如果不知收信人的性别则可用DearSirorMadam:4. 信的正文（Body of the Letter）： 正文是书信的主体。英文书信开头直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。 正文的写作格式主要有英式和美式两种。 1)英式结构即缩进式结构，属于比较传统的结构,即每一段的第一行都向里缩进4-8个字符，称呼顶格写，落款则在中间偏右的位置。 2) 美式结构则是齐头式结构，其特点是所有段落的第一行都顶格写，段与段之间空一行，另外称呼、落款等也都顶格写。缩进式：Dear Kate,I wonder if you can lend me you

8、, Your loving son / daughter等。6. 签名（Signature） 写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。上述六个方面，私人信件不拘形式。公务信件一般要严格按照要求来。在考试中，由于篇幅所限，一般只会要求考生在书信中包括称呼、正文、结束语和签名四个部分。二、需要重点准备的几种书信形式1、申请信申请报考国外大学Applications for Going to College and University AbroadDear sirs, I am a student in the third grade of No.One Senior Middle School
