书信题的写作方法.doc

书信题的写作方法考试书信的写作格式format首先注意格式。书信的格式有两种：齐头式（full block form）和缩进式(indented form)。采用齐头式，要求所有段落的首行，包括结束语和签名等，都在左边顶格，段落中间空行。缩进式要求每段首行缩进四到五个字母，签名放到右下角。称呼salutation：都用简写形式，如：Mr., Mrs., Miss., Dr.(博士)，Professor, President(董事长、会长、校长)。一般老说，写信时应尽量使用收信人的姓名头衔以示尊重。如果收信人的姓名头衔都不知道，可用下面称呼：Dear Sir or Madam. 如果是一般证明之类的信函而且没有具体的收信人（像05年1月六级考试作文的求救信）可以使用下面的称呼：To Whom It(This) May Concern: 给朋友的信则应该直呼其名：Dear Peter结束语Closing根据由亲密到正式的程度排列：Best,Best regards, Sincerely,Sincerely yours, Yours sincerelyTruly yoursYours truly,Respectfully yours,签名 signature 千篇一律-Li Ming感谢信：开头：1.
