English writing should conform to the writing norms, English letters should be clear, neat and beautiful, and the size and spacing of letters should be symmetrical. Writing should be beautiful, symmetrical and harmonious from beginning to end.

When writing English letters, you should master the correct order of strokes. Such as lowercase letter I, you should write the following part first, and then dot. Some students write from top to bottom according to the habit of writing Chinese characters. If they write fast, they will connect the dots with the vertical pen below, which is very awkward. The glyph T should be two strokes. But many people combine two strokes into one, which doesn't look like T, like L or E, and it is difficult to recognize. In addition, write R as V, Q as G, K as H and so on. It is a common problem in middle school students' writing.

Many people still have rules in writing on four lines and three squares of practice paper, and they can write according to the requirements of letter occupancy, height and size, but writing on white paper or horizontal paper is very naive and clumsy. Letters jump up and down, or they are all written at the same height. There is no difference between the letters in the upper middle square and the letters in the lower middle square. These phenomena should be prevented.

In addition, when writing, we should also pay attention to keeping a certain distance between words and not leaning together. The linking between letters should also conform to the habit and should not be used indiscriminately.

In a composition with a limited number of words, we should also pay attention to trying not to disassemble a word. In case of migration, it must be carried out in syllables. For example, the word revolution can be transferred in the following ways according to the principle of syllable transfer: re-, Revo- and Revolution-. In the process of migration, we should also pay special attention to the following points:

1. Monosyllabic words cannot be moved, even monosyllabic words with more letters, such as through, are no exception.

2. Abbreviations such as Mr. and Dr. cannot be separated from the following names. Abbreviated terms such as U.K. (United Kingdom) and U.S.A (United States of America) cannot be decomposed and migrated.

3. Time, measurement and monetary units should be regarded as a whole; Can't move separately.

For example, 1 1: 00 p.m. To write a line,11:00 and PM. Can't move alone; When writing 38℃, you can't move 38 and℃ separately.

4. Date expressed in "year, month and day". If we have to move separately, we can only separate "month, day" and "year". For example, 1 6th of the month and 1980 cannot separate 1 6th of the month from 1 6th of the month, but 1 6th of the month and 1980 can be divided into two lines.

5. For words with double consonants, take the consonants apart when moving. For example, better can be decomposed into better, and necks can be decomposed into neck-sally.

But if the double-written consonant belongs to the root and is followed by a suffix, then the two consonants cannot be separated. If the drill is formed by adding something to the drill, it can't be broken down into drills, but only drills.

Letters are a common functional writing form in practical writing. The first preparation for writing a letter is macro, that is, mastering its format and basic framework, that is, what to write first and then what to write; The second is microscopic, specific to how to use language.

Letter format

First, the structure of letter writing.

(1) date, the writer should write the date (year, month and day) in the upper right corner of the letter, such as 20 10/30.

Reminder: there is no requirement for candidates to write time when writing a letter for postgraduate entrance examination. If you are not sure whether your time writing format is correct, candidates are advised not to write it, so as not to make mistakes and deduct points.

(2) Address refers to the address of the writer to the addressee. You can write the address according to the recipient's gender, position, marital status, name and other personal information, such as: Mr. Williams, Mrs. Bush, Professor Li, Dr. Smith, dear mom and dad.

If the writer doesn't know the specific name and position of the recipient, he can write like this: Dear sir or madam, to the relevant personnel.

(3) the text, the text is the main part of the letter, starting with one or two lines under the title. Candidates should write the text at different levels. The body of a letter usually includes three levels: introduction, expanding paragraph and ending.

Introduction, which explains the purpose and background of the author's writing, is generally limited to one or two paragraphs.

Reminder: here, candidates are prone to make a mistake: plagiarizing the expression of the topic, even the original sentence, is a serious mistake, and at least 2 points will be deducted during the marking process. I hope that the majority of candidates will pay attention.

The development part, its content should be detailed and specific. Can be divided into several paragraphs, each paragraph around a theme.

Reminder: Remind the majority of candidates that all the main points in the questions must be included. Candidates who miss a point will be deducted at least 3 points (generally, a short composition has 3 points).

The ending is usually shorter than the introduction. Express your hopes or wishes in one or two sentences.

(4) Conclusion, which is a humble address of the writer to the recipient, is written in two or three lines below the text. More formal letters, such as your cerely for business, sincerely yours, yours faithfully, yours sincerely, etc. Personal letters are mostly yours, including love, your affectation, etc.

(5) Signature, which should be written at the bottom of the conclusion.

Second, the operation of the main paragraph language

The letter was written according to the instructions while thinking. The first paragraph comes straight to the point, puts forward the purpose of writing a letter and explains the nature of the letter: is it a complaint letter, an application letter or a request letter? Why am I writing this letter? Commonly used sentence patterns include:

I'm writing to complain ...

I am writing to thank ... to express my gratitude to ...

I am writing to inquire about …

I am writing to apply for …

The second paragraph of the text is about 100, with 8 or 9 sentences.

The central task of this paragraph is to expand the outline of the topic. If there are three outlines, each outline can be extended by three sentences. There are two ways of thinking about how to unfold it, one is to split the above meaning into several below meanings, and the other is to make a thing more vivid and concrete. For example, in the first instruction, the title says that books can be subdivided into various books, which is the method of dividing the relationship between the upper and lower positions. You can also describe in detail what these books look like. Similarly, the payment method in the second instruction and the delivery time and method in the third instruction can also be extended by these two methods.

Finally, it is usually polite to wait anxiously for your reply. It is enough for me to expect your reply, or I would appreciate it if you could send a replay of your early conviction.
