中考英语作文书信
书信是人们在日常生活、学习、工作和公务活动中应用最为广泛的有一定惯用格式的应用文,是个人与个人之间、个人与组织之间、组织与组织之间交流思想感情、传递意见要求、传播信息的书面形式。
同其它类应用文一样,书信具有实用性强、格式固定、使用广泛等特点。
由于文化背景与习俗的不同,英文书信与中文书信在书写格式上有较大差异,需特别注意。
一、信封的格式
在信封正面的中间略偏右的地方写收信人的地址,注意要先写收信人的姓名,再从小到大写上收信人的地址,寄信人的地址则按从小到大的顺序写在信封的左上角,或者是写在信封的背面。
二、书信的格式
书信分为正式信件(公务性信件和商务性信件)和非正式信件(家人、朋友之间的信件)两种。
三、正文的写法
1. 信头(Heading):信头是指写信人的地址及日期,位于信笺的右上方,距信纸的顶头约一英寸。顺序是先写地址,后写日期。地址由小写到大,即门牌号→街名→城市→省份→国名,由小到大的顺序书写。如“江西省万载县康乐镇田下路159号”,英文写法是:159 Tianxia Road, Kangle Town, Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province;日期可按“日-月-年”的.顺序或“月-日-年”的顺序写。
2. 信内地址(Inside Address):它是指收信人的姓名和地址,写在信笺的左上方,稍低于信头一至二行,在称呼语上方。顺序是先写收信人姓名,后写职务,再写地址(由小到大)。商业往来信件及公函必须写信头和信内地址。但亲友、熟人之间的信可不写信内地址,信头处只写发信日期。
3. 称呼(Greeting):收信人的称呼,写在信纸的左边,低于信内地址。
4. 书信的正文(Body):是写信者所要说的话,正文信的内容,从左向右横写,低于称呼语,常在缩进四、五个字母处起笔。写信与写文章一样,要分段写,每段有一个中心思想,内容要表达清楚,语言要简单明了,态度要诚恳礼貌。给亲友的信还应亲切热情。考试时必须把规定的内容写清楚。正文结束时,还可写一两句表达心愿的话,如:Best wishes to you /Remember me to your family /Hoping to hear from you soon等。
5. 结束语(Closing):发信人表示自己对收信人的一种客套称呼,写在书信正文结尾下面低两行的位置上。一般它均从正中或偏右处写起。结束语的第一个字母必须大写,后面须加上逗号。收信人与写信人之间是朋友关系时常用:Yours,/Yours ever,/Ever yours,/Always(Sincerely) yours, 等等。
6. 签名(Signature):发信人自己的姓名,写在结束语的下面一行。可与结束语齐头或略向右靠一点儿。

Dear Mr President Bush,
I am a student from China. All my classmates and I are caring about the war between your country and Iraq.
So far, the war has lasted about ten days. During these days, about two hundred thousand soldiers from your country and Britain have kept attacking Iraq. Many houses have been destroyed. Hundreds of civilians have been killed in the war. What’s worse, the children in Iraq couldn’t go to school like the children in your country and all of us. They even have no food to eat.
Mr President Bush, will you please stop the war at once? Let the people in Iraq live a quiet life and let the children go back to their schools, will you?
Love,
