雅思G类作文书信经典范文:投诉信(1)题目:
A night club just opened near where you live.You are very unhappy about the situation because it disturbs the peace of the neighborhood.Write a letter to your local government official.Say who you are and explain why you are unhappy and suggest what should be done about it.(投诉信)
范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the horrible situation I have been faced with recently.亲爱的先生、女士:
我写此信是要就我最近所面对的可怕状况表达我的不满。
I’m a resident of Rose Park on St.Johnson Street.I had been enjoying my life since I moved here five years ago.However, a nightclub recently opened right across the street from my apartment block has completely changed everything.我是一个居住在圣约翰逊街玫瑰花园的居民。自从五年前搬到这里我的生活一直很愉快。然而,最近我的公寓对街开了一个夜总会完全改变了一切。
To begin with, the club itself is very unsightly.It has blackened windows with sexually explicit pictures displayed on the outside, which I find extremely offensive.Also, the noise level during the early hours of the morning is so intense that it has really disturbed my sleep.Consequently, I find that I am unable to concentrate fully on my job, as I am often too tired.2 / 22
首先,这家夜总会本身就很不堪入目。其窗户搞得黑乎乎的,外面贴着相当淫秽的画,这一点令我感到尤其难以忍受。此外,凌晨时刻的噪音太高,严重影响了我的睡眠,所造成的结果是由于太过疲倦,我无法全力专注于工作。
I work as a surgeon in the local hospital;therefore, I am sure you can see the gravity of my complaint.Indeed, the consequences of my making any mistake due to my lack of sleep can be very serious indeed.我是本地医院的外科医生,因此,我相信您能够看到我投诉的严重性。事实上,由于我缺乏睡眠而造成任何错误的后果将是十分严重的。
I understand that, as a member of the local government, you have the power to close the club down.Nevertheless, I know very clearly that people need to make a living and I would not like to be responsible for people losing their jobs.Hence, if you could please ensure that the offensive pictures are removed, and the noise level is kept to a minimum level, I would be more than satisfied.我深知,作为当地政府的一员,您有权关闭这家俱乐部。然而,我也很清楚:人们都需要谋生,而我也不愿意对他人失去工作而负任何责任,因此,如果您能确保那些令人难受的画被撤掉、噪音控制在最低水平,我就将十分满意了。
I look forward to your reply.Yours sincerely,Kenny Gao 期盼得到您的答复。
您真诚的

雅思G类作文书信经典范文:投诉信(2)题目:
You have recently made a purchase from the local department store.However, when you arrived home, you found a fault with it.Write a letter to the manager, say what the product is, explain the problem and say what you’d like to be done about it.(投诉信)
范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,I’m writing to complain about the recent purchase of a woolen sweater from your department store on Philip Street, on August 25, 2007.亲爱的先生、女士:
我写此信是要就我 2007年8月25日从你们在菲利普大街上的商店里购买的一件羊毛衫进行投诉的。
I recently washed the sweater in cool water, as per the instructions on the label.However, when I removed it from the machine, the garment was stretched out of shape and no longer fits.我最近按照标签上的说明用冷水洗了这件羊毛衫,然而,当我将它从洗衣机里取出时,这件衣服却变形了,再也不合身了。
I phoned the store last Tuesday(June 21)and spoke to the department manager, a Mr.Morris, who was rather rude on the phone and informed me that I could not get a replacement sweater as it was purchased at a reduced price.I felt really upset, for I have been a loyal customer of your store for many years and until this incident, never have had any complaints.I, therefore, feel disappointed to be treated in such a manner.4 / 22
我上周二(6月21日)打电话到店里,是与一位叫Morris先生的部门经理讲的,他电话里很是无礼,告知我说因为这件衣服是降价购买的,因此不能退换。对此,我深感不满,因为我多年来一直是贵店的忠实顾客,在此事件之前,从来没有过任何投诉。因此,我对受到如此待遇深感失望。
I would, however, be perfectly satisfied if you would kindly replace the sweater or refund my money, whichever is more convenient.然而,我的要求并不高。如果你们能够给我退换一件,或者为我办理退费,怎么方便就怎么办,我都会非常满意的。
I look forward to hearing from you soon.Yours truly,Kenny Gao
期盼收到您的答复。
您真诚的

我来信的目的是想问一下有关贵校住宿安排和机场接机的事宜。
I’m a mature, female student and would prefer, as far as possible, to share some accommodation with other mature female students, preferably in a quiet location.However, I have no objection to living on campus as long as it is quiet enough for me to study.I’m also a non-smoker and would prefer to share with other non-smokers although this is a preference rather than a request.我是一个成熟的女生,希望尽可能与其他成熟女生合住,最好是在安静的位置。然而,我不反对住在校园里,只要环境安静,不影响我的学业即可。我不吸烟,所以希望与其他不吸烟者合住,虽然这只是一个倾向而非要求。
I will arrive in London on August 26 from Shanghai and would be very grateful if you could send someone to pick me up or, at the least, send me the details of how to get to the university by myself from London Heathrow Airport, as this will be my first time to the UK.8 / 22
我将于 8月26日从上海抵达伦敦,如果您能安派一下接机,或者至少给我发一下如何从伦敦海斯陆机场前往学校的具体细节,我将万分感激,因为这将是我初次到英国。
I’m looking forward to receiving your reply and meeting you in person in September.Yours sincerely,Susan Gao

雅思G类作文书信经典范文:推荐信(5)题目:
Someone you know well is applying to a university abroad.Write a recommendation letter for him, say how you got to know him and why he is worth your recommendation.(推荐信)
范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,I’m writing to recommend to you the outstanding personality and the super ability for learning of Mr.Robert Jiang.亲爱的先生/女士:
我写信是向您推荐罗伯特?蒋先生的超凡个性与超强学习能力的。
I got to know Mr.Jiang a few years ago while I was teaching British literature to a class of English majors in which he was a student.His excellent performances on several occasions such as group discussions and open debate really took me by great surprise.Never had I met a young student speaking English so fluently and accurately.His insight into British literature as a whole as well as the perspectives he cut into the analysis of characters in the literature aroused my great curiosity about his first-class and unique capability of doing research work.Later on, upon his completion of the Bachelor degree, he moved on to pursue his study for a Master’s degree in the same field of study and I was very lucky to be his supervisor.Mr.Jiang has always been an honest person.He is very friendly to people and is very easy-going.Many of his classmates have mentioned on different occasions about how helpful he was to them and to which I simply cannot agree more.我是几年前在给一个英语专业班级讲授英国文学时认识蒋先生的,那时他是班里的一名学生。他在比如分组讨论和公开辩论数个场合上的极佳表现确实让我暗自称奇。我从未遇到过英语讲得如此流利、准确的年青学生。他对英国
/ 22
文学整体的见解以及他对文学人物分析所切入的视角激起了我对他那一流的独特研究能力的好奇心。后来,在他完成学士学位的学习后,他继续在同一领域开始攻读硕士学位,我有幸成为他的导师。蒋先生历来诚实可信,对人友善,容易相处。他的很多同学在不同的场合提到过他的乐于助人,对此,我深表赞同。
Now Mr.Jiang is applying to your prestigious university for a chance to continue his Ph.D research.I hope you’ll find he is just as good as I’m now recommending him to be.And should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at the following e-mail address:……
现在,蒋先生正在向贵校提出申请,希望能够有机会前往从事他的博士学位研究。我希望您会发现他正如我所举荐他的那样好。如果您还有任何问题,请随时与我联系,我的电子邮箱是:……。

雅思G类作文书信经典范文:推荐信(6)题目:
You are asked to write a recommendation letter for someone you know well.Say who you are, how you got to know him or her, and why he or she is worth your recommendation.(推荐信)
范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,I’m writing to recommend to you the outstanding personality of Miss Jiang Junlei.亲爱的先生、女士:
我写此信旨在向您推荐姜君蕾女士的超凡个性。
I got to know Miss Jiang in 2002 while I was giving a placement test to a group of candidates who applied to our daytime English Intensive Training Program.It happened that she was in the group and she impressed me greatly with her friendly and lovely smile throughout the test.In the following year, while I was organizing a summer camp program with the participation of about 600 high school students coming from all parts of China, I immediately thought of her.The reason was very simple: she is kind, friendly, patient, helpful and loving, thus well suiting a position as class teacher.Besides, she had some experience in hospital nursing which made my choice of her more reasonable and she proved to me as well as to all my colleagues at the camp that my decision was just too perfect.In fact, I was quite surprised by her interpersonal communication skills with both the students and their parents though she was very young herself at the time.我是2002年认识姜君蕾的。那时我在给一组报读我们全日制英语课程的学生进行分班测试,她便在其中。她自始至终友好而可爱的微笑给我留下了深刻的印象。第二年,当我在组织有600余名来自中国各地的中学生参加的夏令
/ 22
营项目时,我马上想到了她。理由很简单:她善良、友好、耐心、乐于助人、有一颗爱心,因此,非常适合做一名班主任。此外,她有一定的医院护理经验,这便为我选择她提供了愈加充分的理由。而她也最终向我以及我所有夏令营的同事们证明了我的决定是完美的。事实上,我极为惊讶她小小年纪,居然会有那么强的人际交流能力,在与学生及家长的交流中表现得可谓淋漓尽致。
After the summer camp, she told me that she would go to either Britain or Ireland to study for her bachelor’s degree.I wished her all the best and there she went.We have kept in touch regularly since then through e-mails.Last May, when she broke for the summer vacation, she came to my new department, Onlytoya IELTS &TOEFL Training Centre, to help me with some management and student consulting work.She drafted three cooperation agreements for me, wrote a dozen articles that we used on our website, gave numerous placement tests to our students, and gave an open lecture on studying and living in Ireland to about 400 Toya students.She was very well accepted by all Toya staff members and our students as well and became, indeed, an indispensable assistant to me.Something well worth mentioning from my academic perspective as professor in English linguistics and American literature is that her English was fluent and accurate, which convinced me that she is all quick to learn anything new.She told me that she often helps do quite some organization work at her university and at the Chinese Embassy in Ireland and had done a lot of traveling in Europe.Obviously, these experiences have greatly broadened her vision and enriched her life, making such a valuable asset in every field of work she is going to perform.夏令营结束后,她告诉我要去英国或爱尔兰攻读学士学位。我给了她最美好的祝愿,她便启程了。我们从此便通过电子邮件定期保持着联系。去年五月份,她回国过暑假,便来到我的新部门:昂立雅思托福培训中心,帮助我做一些管理和学生咨询方面的工作。她为我起草了三份合作协议书、写了十余篇文章(我们用到了自己的网站上)、给众多的学生做了分级测试,还为托雅中心约400名学生做了一场有关在爱尔兰学习和生活的公开讲座。她受到了托雅中心所有员工和学生的欢迎,也成为我不可或缺的助手。有一点特别值得一提,这是从我作为英语语言学和美国文学副教授的角度来讲的,那就是:她的英语流利而准确,印证了她不凡的学习能力。她告诉我:她经常在所就读的大学里和中国驻爱尔兰大使馆帮忙做一些组织工作,还游历了欧洲,很显然,这些经历极大地开阔了她的视野、丰富了她的生活,这对于她将来要从事的任何领域的工作来讲都是一笔宝贵的财富。
/ 22
All in all, it is both my pleasure and honor to write this recommendation letter for Miss Jiang and I guarantee the truthfulness of all that I have said about her.总之,我很高兴,也很荣幸能够为她写此推荐信,并保证自己所讲的有关于她的一切都是真实可靠的。
Should you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact me either by e-mail or phone at the following address and number:……
如果您有任何其它需要问及的事宜,敬请与我联系。我的电子邮箱和电话号码……
Truly yours

雅思G类作文书信经典范文:建议信(7)题目:
A hotel you stayed in recently asked guests to write to the manager and suggest ways in which they could improve their service.Write a letter to the manager, explain who you are, say what you liked about the hotel, and suggest ways in which they could be improved.(建议信)
范文:
Dear Manager,I’m writing in response to your invitation to guests who have recently stayed at your hotel to suggest ways in which you could further improve your service.亲爱的经理:
我是看过你们给最近落脚贵宾馆的客人的邀请函后写此信的,你们在信中邀请客人做些提议,以便你们可以进一步改善服务。
I was a guest at your hotel last month and I found that the level of customer service was excellent.Indeed, every member of your staff, from the manager to the room-cleaning maid, was, without exception, extremely polite and helpful.The standard of the rooms was far beyond what I had expected.我上个月曾入住贵宾馆,发现你们的客户服务非常好。事实上,你们的每一名员工,从经理到房间清洁工都彬彬有礼、乐于助人,无一例外。房间的标准远远超过了我的期盼。
However, I found that the hotel restaurant stopped serving breakfast at 8:30am.As I was on holiday, I would have liked to take my breakfast at around 9:30, thus I was unable to do so.I also spoke to several other guests who expressed the same disappointment.In addition, I feel that if you could

supply newspapers in Chinese, the quality of stay for Chinese speakers, of whom the number has been on a steady rise in the past few years, would be considerably enhanced.然而,我发现宾馆的餐厅早上八点半便停止供应早餐了。因为我是在度假,很希望能够在九点半左右吃早餐,这样情况下就做不到了。我也跟其他几位客人谈过,他们也表达了同样的失望。还有,我感到如果你们能够提供中文报纸,那中国客人的住宿质量将大幅提升,要知道:过去的几年里,中国住客的人数一直处于上升中。
I would be happy to know if my suggestions have turned out to be useful in your constant improvement of your overall service.我很希望知道自己的建议是否在你们不断提升整体服务的过程中派上了用场。
Looking forward to your reply.Yours faithfully,Kenny Gao
期盼受到您的回复。

雅思G类作文书信经典范文:建议信(8)题目:
You have a friend who is about to enter university and he wants you to advise him on which subject to specialize in.He is very interested in history, but computer science offers better job prospects.Write a letter to give him some advices.(建议信)
范文:
Dear Jack,You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university and now I am trying to give you some useful suggestions.亲爱的Jack:
你向我征询关于对你在大学里应该学历史还是电脑科学的意见,在此,我想给你一些有用的建议。
You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career.Therefore, your first consideration should be to study a subject which will best equip you to earn a living.There is no doubt that the field of computer offers far wider job opportunities than history.你首先应该牢记的一点是:你大学阶段的训练是为你将来的职业生涯做准备的。因此,你的首要考虑应该是要学一门科目,就要保证它能够为你将来谋生奠定最扎实的基础。毫无疑问,电脑专业要比历史专业更具就业潜能。
Besides, we are now in the age of a Hi-tech revolution.In the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate, it will also be necessary for him to be equipped with computer skills
/ 22
merely to earn a living!History, I’m afraid, however fascinating it may be, offers few career prospects.再者,我们现在处于高科技革命时代。在可以预见的将来,不但人人都需懂电脑,而且仅仅为了谋生也必须具备电脑技能。而对于历史而言,不管它有多么迷人,它所带来的就业机会却总是有限的。
Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else.On the contrary, I would recommend that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time.In that way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computers.当然,你没有必要将在大学里的所有时间都用在学电脑上,而对其它的课程都毫不理会。相反,我倒是建议你业余时间里读读历史,那样一来,你会发现在你为将来充满意义的电脑领域的职业生涯做准备的同时,你的业余时光也变得丰富多彩了。
Hope you find these suggestions useful in helping you make your decision.希望你会感到这些建议对于你做决定有所裨益。
Yours sincerely,Kenny Gao

按照收信人的不同,可粗略地将书信分为写给熟人的书信和写给陌生人的书信。相应地,书信的开头写法也是不同的。
写给熟人的书信开头应以寒暄、问候为主。不必写得特别复杂,毕竟这不是书信的重点,但也不可太过口语化,如“Hi!”“Hello!”等。笔者在这里罗列了一些常用的书信寒暄用语,同学们可以针对不同类型的书信选择合适的套路作为开头的第一句话。
句型模板
How are you doing these days? (你最近过得怎么样呢?)
How are you getting along with your schoolwork? (最近你的学业怎么样呢?)
I have been missing you a lot since we last met. (自从我们上次见面以来,我一直很想念你。)
Thank you so much for your previous help, and I had a good time at your home. (非常感谢你之前的帮助,我在你家过得很开心。)
写给陌生人的书信开头需要先自报家门,进行简单的自我介绍。大家千万不要在写给陌生人的书信开头使用寒暄用语。想象一下,如果你在一篇投诉信的开头写了一句“你最近好吗”,这是多么不合时宜呀!那么,简单的自我介绍应该如何写呢?大家可以参考这个句型模板:I am Li Hua, a 18-year-old student/boy/girl from Class 2, Grade 3, No. 7 Senior High School, who ...大家可不要小瞧这种套路,很多高考英语作文参考范文的第一句都是这么写的,其得分点有两处:①第一个逗号之后的部分是同位语结构,它用来对“我”作进一步的介绍;② Who引导的定语从句结构能让作文在开篇第一句就有亮点。如果题干当中出现了“我”的国籍、居住地等其他信息,同学们可以灵活地对句型模板中的信息进行删减、替换。
2
开头第二句:写信目的
当你完成了书信的第一句话,或者试卷上已经给出第一句的寒暄/自我介绍时,我们就可以开始写开头的第二句话了,其作用是表明写信目的。值得注意的是,中国人喜欢较为委婉的表达方式,往往会将自己的真实目的写在文章的最后,但英语国家的人们却往往习惯开门见山,将主旨句放在文章的开头。因此,我们在写作文时也要遵循这个原则。
如果按照功能来划分,我们可以将书信分为邀请信、申请信、询问信、求助信等类型。接下来,笔者就以这四类书信为例,跟大家分享一下不同目的书信的一些写作套路。
(1) 邀请信
如果题干中说明你邀请的对象是你的好朋友或笔友等熟人,开头可以寒暄、问候为主。但如果你邀请的对象是你不熟悉的老师、教授等,你就需要先自报家门了。接下来,你需要介绍自己想要邀请对方做什么事情,可能是参加活动、会议等,也可能是约稿。
句型模板
I would like to ask you to ... (我想要请您/你……)
I am writing to invite you to ... (我写信是想要邀请您/你……)
(2) 申请信
由于接收申请信的一方可能并不知道你是谁,所以你需要在第一句先进行自我介绍,然后再热切地表达自己多么想要申请某个职位、某项工作等。
句型模板
I am willing to apply for ... (我想要申请……)
I would like to apply to do ... (我想要申请做……)
(3) 询问信
由于对方往往是你不认识的人,所以需要先进行自我介绍,然后再把你想要询问的内容概括清楚即可。
句型模板
I intend to consult you about ... (我想要向您/你咨询有关……)
I am writing to ask for some information about ... (我写信是想要了解有关……的情况。)
需要提醒大家的是,在开头段还不需要具体交代询问的内容,可将其放在下一段中逐条地询问清楚。
(4) 求助信
由于我们常常会向自己认识的人寻求帮助,所以开头第一句用寒暄语就可以了。然后,一定要有礼貌地表达自己需要寻求什么帮助。
句型模板
Could you please do me a favor and do ...? (请问您/你能不能帮我做……呢?)
I would appreciate it if you could do me a favor and do ... (如果您/你能帮我做……,我会非常感激。)
纵观高考英语全国卷写作题,我们会发现几乎每年考查的都是应用文,而在这其中,书信类作文又占据着相当大的比例。所以,对于备战高考的同学们来说,掌握好书信类作文至关重要。俗话说“万事开头难”,一篇作文开头的质量直接影响着整篇作文的分数。如何才能让你写的书信类作文的开头给阅卷老师留下好印象,从而让你在高考英语作文部分赢得先机呢?其实,书信类作文的开头是有一定套路可循的,且听笔者慢慢道来。
下面,笔者就从邀请信、申请信、询问信、求助信这四类书信出发,结合高考英语新课标I卷书信类作文真题,带领大家将上文介绍的套路运用到实战之中。
邀请信
【真题重现】假定你是李华,你校英文报“外国文化”栏目拟刊登美国节日风俗和中学生生活的短文。请给美国朋友彼得写信约稿,要点如下:1. 栏目介绍;2. 稿件内容;3. 稿件长度:约400词;4. 交稿日期:6月28日前。(2015年新课标I卷)
nlc202309080917
【套路分析】其实这道作文题已将开头语为大家写好了:I'd like to ask you to write an article for our school's English newspaper. (我想请你为我们学校的英文报写一篇文章。)假如大家需要自己写开头的话,可以先进行简单的寒暄,然后再向彼得发出邀请:How are you doing these days? I am writing to invite you to write an article about American festival conventions and the life of American high school students for our school's English newspaper. (你最近过得怎么样?我写信是想邀请你为我们学校的英文报写一篇有关美国节日风俗以及高中生生活的文章。)
2
申请信
【真题重现】假定你是李华,从互联网上得知一个国际中学生组织将在新加坡(Singapore)举办夏令营,欢迎各国学生参加。请写一封电子邮件申请参加。内容主要包括:1. 自我介绍(包括英语能力);2. 参加意图(介绍中国、了解其他国家);3. 希望获准。(2012年新课标I卷)
【套路分析】由于是申请信,对方多半不认识你,所以开头要先进行自我介绍。从题干中我们可以得知这是一个国际化的夏令营,“你”代表的是中国,而题目又要求介绍“英语能力”,所以自我介绍可以这样写:I am Li Hua, a student from China, who has a good knowledge of English. (我是李华,一个来自中国的学生,我非常擅长英语。)第二句表明写信目的:I would like to apply to take part in the summer camp to be held in Singapore. (我想申请参加这个将在新加坡举行的夏令营。)这个开头不仅囊括了题干中的部分内容要点,还包含了同位语、定语从句、非谓语动词作后置定语等高级语法结构,一定会让你的作文在考场上熠熠生辉。

询问信
【真题重现】假定你是李华,计划暑假期间去英国学习英语,为期六周。下面的广告引起了你的注意,请给该校写封信,询问有关情况。(广告图略) (2014年新课标I卷)
【套路分析】写询问信需要先进行一个简单的自我介绍。在这里,第一句可以把题干中的“计划暑假期间去英国学习英语”融入自我介绍之中:I am Li Hua, a student from China, who plans to go to Britain to study English during the summer vacation. (我是李华,一个来自中国的学生,我计划暑假期间去英国学习英语。)第一句与第二句之间可以添加逻辑词引入写信目的,如:Therefore, I am writing to find out more about the six-week summer course at your school. (因此,我写信是想要更多地了解贵校这个为期六周的暑期课程。)

求助信
【真题重现】假定你是李华。请你给笔友Peter写封信,告诉他你叔叔李明将去他所在城市开会,带去他想要的那幅中国画,同时询问他是否可以接机。信中还需说明:李明:高个子,戴眼镜;航班号:CA985;到达:8月6日上午11:30。(2013年新课标I卷)
【套路分析】由于Peter是你的笔友,所以题目给出的开头语是一句寒暄语:How are you doing? (近来如何?)根据题目的要求,下一句可表明求助内容:Could you do me a favor and pick up my uncle, Li Ming, at the airport in your city? (你能不能帮我一个忙,去你所在城市的机场接我叔叔李明呢?)或者写成:I would appreciate it if you could do me a favor and pick up my uncle, Li Ming, at the airport in your city. (如果你愿意帮我去你所在城市的机场接我叔叔李明,我会非常感激。)
好的开始是成功的一半,书信类作文的开头部分有明显可循的套路,两句话就可以搞定,即“寒暄/自我介绍+写信目的”。在备战高考英语作文中,这种“套路”法其实并不限于书信类作文的开头。大家一定要学会以不变应万变,将平时积累的写作思路和句型模板结合在一起,总结出自己的套路,再配上一定量的真题及模拟题的训练,写出一篇漂亮的应试作文应该就不再是问题了。

从写作特点上来看,特别提醒G类同学注意以下“三大纪律”:
纪律一:
书信和A类议论文最大的区别在于,书信是允许考生在主体段对情节进行合理联想的。换句话说,A类的图表题是看学生有没有能力读大学,而G类的书信是看学生有没有能力在英语国家顺利地生活。只要书信的情节符合生活常识,考官是可以允许学生进行适当联想来让书信的情节更充实的(当然即使是联想也不能跑题,特别应该参考原题里面给的三条参考信息)。而且正是因为书信允许有一部分合理的想象,所以即使我们遇到一些想不出的生词,也往往可以适当修改情节用一些其他比较简单的词汇来替换。
纪律二:
书信的用词我们应该追求稳妥,一方面不需要使用过大的词汇,另一方面也一定不能过于口语化,甚至俚语化(slangy)。参加移民类考试对的同学多数都有工作经验,有不少还有些商业英语信函的经历,但请注意:雅思的书信考试完全没有必要像商业公文那么正式(这点从《剑8》的书信体现得尤其明显),即使是比较正式的话题,只要保证不用太口语化的词汇就已经很好了。另一个极端是有些考生工作中常年用email和英语国家人士进行沟通,而email往往对语法和用词要求得并不严格,导致这些考生对英文书信产生某些误解,书信里时不时地出现guy,wanna,gonna这种非常口语化的词汇,甚至爆出一些粗口,实在令人触目惊心。希望大家能够形成正确的书信用词观念,避免两个极端。
纪律三:
I am very glad to recommend Li Ming, my good friend, for a job in your company. He is a graduate from Beijing Industry University. His major is Computer Software. In the past four years he has got the first grade scholarship for four times. And this year he got the title of the Excellent Graduate.

If he can join the company, he will be able to give full play to his talent. And your company will also be greatly benefited. I strongly recommend Li Ming to your company.
Yours,Wang Lin
