（五）應(yīng)用文及范文點評
要了解掌握各種應(yīng)用文的文體、格式、各種文體的常用語句。寫信時，發(fā)信人的地址和發(fā)信日期寫在信的右上角。信的左邊寫稱呼，如“Dear+頭銜+姓”或“Dear+名"Dear Tom, Dear Mr. White…

信的正文一般分為幾個段落，結(jié)尾另起一行，寫With best wishes! 信的結(jié)束語一般用Yours, Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully...

日期寫法有月，日，年或日，月，年如2005年5月18日，May. 18, 2005 18 May, 2005

寫信常用的句子開頭有：
I haven't heard from you for a long time...
How's everything going with you?
I'm now writing to you. /I miss you so much.
Thank you for your letter.
I have received your letter.

結(jié)尾有：
I hope I can see you soon.
Give my best/warmest regards to..
I'll write to you soon.

初中寫信題目多為提供情景寫信，如2000年中考題目（根據(jù)所給情景寫封回信，至少50個單詞，要求內(nèi)容切題，意思連貫。）
Situation: Aihua's aunt is now in Australia. She went there ten years ago. In her letter she wants very much to know what Shanghai is like now.
又如2004年某省中考題目：根據(jù)美國朋友Bob來信的內(nèi)容寫一篇英文回信。

范文1
Dear friend,
Hello, I'm your new friend. My name is Bob. I'm fifteen. I'm American. I live in New York.
I am a middle school student. I'm good at maths. It is very interesting. My favourite sport is basketball. And I am not only a basketball fan but also a good player. I like pop music. My friend and I often sing pop songs together.
After school, I am interested in getting on-line. I have known a lot about China from the
Internet. Now I am learning Chinese. I hope l will visit your country one day.
Please write to me and tell me something about your life. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,
Bob

點評：仔細審題，了解Bob想知道你哪方面的情況，要有針對性地回信，注意寫回信的格式。

范文2
Dear Bob,
Yesterday I heard from you. I am very glad to be your pen friend. My name is Peter Zhang. I am sixteen years old. I live in…
I am a middle school student, too. I like English and maths very much. I also like sports. I am good at singing. I know a little about America. Could you tell me something more about your country in your next letter?
Please write to me soon.

Yours
Peter Zhang

點評：回信語言簡潔，明了，句子間的銜接自然，緊湊，文中作者把自己的情況大致向美國朋友作了介紹，達到了寫回信的目的。
假如你陪你校的外籍教師Smith先生去音樂廳聽音樂，在門口的布告欄里看見一張觀眾須知，內(nèi)容如下：

Smith先生不懂中文，他很想知道布告欄里寫著什么。現(xiàn)在，請你把觀眾須知的內(nèi)容用英語告訴Smith先生，并把要講的話寫下來。

范文3
Mr. Smith, it is a notice to the audience. It says that we should enter the concert hall 30 minutes earlier before the concert starts. Entrance to the hall is by ticket only, each one each ticket. As a rule, food or drink should not be taken into the hall. Of course, smoking is not allowed in the hall either. Please don't bring your digital camera with you because no photos can be taken during the concert. And what is more, beepers and mobile phones must be off during the concert.
點評：文章的用詞和句式有一定的難度，特別是關(guān)聯(lián)詞的運用，如of course, as a rule, and what is more使文章讀起來朗朗上口，層層緊扣，環(huán)環(huán)遞進，體現(xiàn)了作者較高的寫作技巧和水平。
