In correspondence between friends who are familiar with each other, the address of the writer can often be omitted. Only the date of writing is written on the stationery of this lesson, and there is no address of the writer.
There are usually two ways to determine the date: (a) MM DD YY: such as August 15,200 _ (b) MM DD YY: such as June15 August, and the address of 200 _ _ is usually written from small to large, such as house number, street name and city (county). This is completely contrary to the address writing of China's letters.
The address can be written in 1~3 lines, and the date is written below the address (see letterhead format). Address refers to the address of the writer to the recipient, such as dear Xiaojun, written at the bottom of the letterhead and to the left of the letterhead.
Salutations usually begin with dear … or my dear …, followed by commas. This is the main part of the letter, which is what the writer wants to express.
The words should be fluent, clear in level and clear in meaning. You can write by hand or type.
D Close it is a compliment at the end of the letter, which is equivalent to "good wishes" and "greetings" at the end of the letter in the text. The "best wishes" in this lesson letter is the conclusion.
Electronic signature (signature) signature is generally signed in the middle right position below the conclusion, such as Charlie in this lesson letter. The signature should be handwritten, even if it is a letter typed by a typewriter, it should be handwritten at last.
At the top of the signature, according to the relationship between the writer and the recipient, you can write sincere yours/ your sincerity (for elders or friends) or respectful yours/ your respect (for elders or superiors).
2. English composition letter format The general format of an English letter can be divided into eight parts: title, date, recipient's name and address, address and the text of the letter. Conclusion (signature), postscript (P.S.) The title refers to the name or address of the sender's company. Generally, the sender only needs to write his address (typed or handwritten) in the upper right corner of the letter, which is about 65,438+0 inches from the top of the letter, occupying two, three or four lines. The format is as follows: ① Head butting ② Indentation Note: The address writing order is different from that in Chinese. Write the house number, street, city and country name first. There are no fixed rules about whether to write an address with a prefix or indent, and whether to add punctuation after each line. If you write to your frequent relatives and friends, this address can also be omitted. Date: Pay attention to the following points: ① Write the full name of the year, such as "99". ② The name of the month should be written in English. In addition to May and July, abbreviations can be used, such as September and October ... but numbers should not be used instead, such as 7/4/99 or 7,4,99, because this date stands for April 7, 1999 in Britain and July 4, 1999 in the United States. 4 … 1 1, 12 … 2 1, 22 … 3 1 and so on. And lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th … 1 th, 21th …1998b.1998c.1October,/kloc-0. 997d. September 3rd, 1999 ④ Pay special attention to the date of English letters, which should be immediately after the address of the writer, rather than written at the back of the letter. This is a common mistake made by many students. After writing the address and date of the writer, the name and address of the recipient should be written. General business letters or letters to unfamiliar friends should be written, and letters to very familiar friends can be omitted. This item is written in the upper left corner of the next line of the date. The name of the recipient should be written on one line, and the address of the recipient can be written on two or three lines. Like the address of the writer, it can be aligned up and down or indented right. Generally, a title should be added before the name, and the title varies from person to person. ① Mr for ordinary men; 2 miss; For unmarried women; ③ Mrs is used for married women, and Ms (followed by my surname) is usually used for people with uncertain marital status; 4 master; For men; ⑤ Calling a Professor or a doctor (doctor) with prof or Dr refers to the kind of address at the beginning of the letter, such as dear, sir and uncle, and all kinds of addresses vary from person to person. Commas are usually used after salutations, but colons are also useful. Summarized as follows: ① Parents, brothers, sisters, etc. A. Dad, B. My dear mother, C. My dear sister, D. My dear Tom, ② Relatives: A. My dear aunt, B. My dear cousin, C. My dear cousin.
3. The format of letters in English composition (1) The composition of English letters generally consists of six parts.
That is, the letterhead, the address in the letter, the title, the body of the letter, the comprehensive ending, the signature, and sometimes there are postscript and attachments behind the letter, depending on the specific situation. The following will be explained separately.
1. Title refers to the author's address and writing date. Usually written or typed in the upper right corner of the first stationery. Write the address first, then the date. The address starts with the house number and road number, then the district name, city name, province name and finally the country name. English and Americans write time differently.
British people are used to writing in chronological order, while Americans are used to writing in chronological order. For example: UK: 1st October, 1999+0999 USA: October 1, 1999 When using the former form, the comma between the month and the year is optional, but in the latter form, the comma must be used.
Letterheads can be written in indented and flush ways. Indent indent one or two letters to the right at the beginning of each line; Head-to-tail alignment on the left, as shown in the following figure: indent Wang Ming, Department of Chemical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 1 16023 Parallel Wang Ming, People's Republic of China (PRC), Liaoning. Department of Chemical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, China Dalian 1 16023. The name and address of the recipient should be written in the letter.
Generally, letters and business letters to unfamiliar relatives and friends should be addressed in the letter, but this step can be omitted with familiar friends. Write the address in the upper left corner of the letter, one or two lines below the date. Write the recipient's name on the first line, and then write the address.
Geology is also from small to capital, divided into indentation and parallel. For example, the English of the President of Oxford University is indented, while the address of No.64 Heping Road, Jiang Bin, China is the address of the recipient.
Write one or two lines in the first box below the address in the letter, forming a line. End with a comma or colon.
(1) When you write to someone you know, you can use Dear or My Dear. In England, my dear is kinder than my dear, while in America, my dear is kinder than my dear.
When writing a letter to a woman you don't know whether she is married or not, you can use ms … sir, ms, sir.
The body of a letter is the main part of a letter. It is usually written on the next line of the salutation.
Text can also be indented or indented. The flush type reflects that the first line and the next line of each paragraph are flush.
Indentation means that the first line of each paragraph is indented a few letters to the right. Letterhead pays attention to simplicity and efficiency.
It's better to go straight to the point with wishes and honorifics at the end. I have received your letter of July 1.
I am happy to tell you ... I am happy to tell you. I am very glad to receive your letter. I am glad to receive your letter.
I'm honored to inform you ... I'm honored to tell you. I look forward to hearing from you. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards. Best wishes. Thank you for your help! Thank you for your help! I wish you success. I wish you success.
Wish you a happy holiday. I hope you have a good holiday! I hope to hear from you soon. I hope to hear from you soon. The conclusion (comprehensive ending) is written on the right side of the text every one or two lines.
Start with uppercase letters, end with lowercase letters, and use funny sentences after the last word. Common concluding remarks include: general informal relations: your sincerity, your sincerity, your loyalty, your most sincere, your loyalty, intimate relations: love, your love, your affectation, your love, your past, your superiors: your respect, your loyalty, 6 signatures are the signatures at the bottom of the conclusion, write first and then type.
If the recipient doesn't know who wrote the letter, you can mark Mr., Ms. or Ms. in brackets before signing. You can indicate a title under the name.
For example: Your seriousness, Lucy Black (handwritten) Lucy Black (miss) (printed) Sales Manager 7. Postscript of the attachment, what you may have missed when writing the text of the letter, or what happened temporarily and needs to be supplemented, you can write P.S at the lower left of the letter. If there is an attachment with the letter, you can indicate it at the bottom left of love. For example: enclosure: 1. Invoice (invoice) 2. Resume (2) Examples of English letters The above introduces the main components of English letter writing and the writing characteristics of each part. Next, we will provide five examples of English letters.
1 congratulatory letter When a friend has a happy event, such as marriage, promotion or winning a prize, you can write him a congratulatory letter to express your instructions and congratulations. Example 1 department of mechanical engineering, Dalian University of Technology 1 16023 Liao Ning, China1/month 28th, 1999 Mr. Wang Ximing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, department of mechanical engineering. Dear Mr. Wang: Thank you for your letter of 1 1 3rd. I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier, but time seems to pass too fast. I learned from your letter that you got a master's degree. I wish to congratulate you on your brilliant success. In this letter, I bring you good news: your wife gave birth to a boy last week, and the situation is very good.
4. Ask for English letter format or template. I hope it helps you. O(∩_∩)O English letters, whether business letters, social letters or letters between friends, are generally composed of six parts according to the custom.
That is, the address, title, conclusion, signature, 1. The title of an English letter includes the address of the sender and the specific date of mailing. The letterhead is placed in the upper right corner of the letterhead, usually written line by line.
Write the sender's address first, then the date of mailing. When writing the mailing address, it is based on the principle of growing up, that is, first write the house number, street name or road name, then write the name of the district (county) and city, then the name of the province or state, county, and finally the name of the country.
The order of dates is to write the month first, then the day and then the year. Need to write the postal code, postal code written after the city name, separated by commas.
Stationery should not cross the middle of the stationery and be written on the top left of the stationery. In addition, it should be noted that when writing an address, the first line is the house number and street name, the second line is the area name, and the third line is the date.
Generally, punctuation marks are not used at the end of each line of letterhead, but punctuation marks in the middle of each line are essential. Commas should be used to separate the city name from the postal code, as well as the sun, moon and year. Generally, the letterhead should not be written too high, and some blanks should be left above the letterhead.
There are two writing formats of stationery: parallel and oblique. The so-called juxtaposition means that the beginning of each line of stationery is arranged neatly up and down.
The so-called diagonal form means that the beginning of the next line is moved one or two letters to the right from the beginning of the previous line. Such as: parallel: No.6p Park Avenue, new york; Ny 1 12 15, USA 1 February1,1999 diagonal formula: new york Park Avenue 6p, NY112/kloc.
Address ellipsis in social private messages. The address in the letter is located at the lower left of the letter, and its starting line is lower than the ending line of the letter, and the ending line is located at the left of the center of the letter.
Write down the title and name of the recipient first, then the address. The address is arranged in the same order as the letterhead. There are also two writing formats of addresses in letters: parallel and oblique.
Generally speaking, the format used in the letterhead is always the same as the address in the letter. Punctuation marks are also used as letterheads.
In the address of a letter, the title and name of the recipient are generally as follows: Mr is used for men without professional titles, Mrs is used for married women, Miss is used for unmarried women, Dr is used for women with unknown marital status, and Dr is used for doctors and professors for general managers, principals and presidents. The president uses the president. (President) 3. Address is a kind of honorific words to the recipient, which forms a line of its own and is arranged up and down with the address in the letter. It is more polite to use "My Dear" in the United States than "Dear", while the usage in Britain is just the opposite.
For strangers, we usually use "dear sir" or "dear lady" to communicate. Also note that there is a comma after the address.
4. The text is the core of the letter. Pay attention to the following points when writing the text: (1) The text should be written from one or two lines below the address, and the first line of each paragraph should be indented inward by about five letters, and then turned to the top.
The text is also written in parallel, that is, each line is the top line, but two or three lines should be left between paragraphs to show segmentation. (2) Informal letters have no certain rules except politeness.
But what kind of wording should be thought out in advance. (3) For a very formal letter, it is very important to know the first sentence.
In addition, each paragraph in the letter can only have one central idea, so that the reader can clearly understand what you want to express. In order to express clearly, try to use short sentences and less long and difficult sentences.
Paragraphs should also be short rather than long, especially at the beginning and end. (4) scribbled words are as unsightly as untidy clothes, and writing must be neat and standardized.
You can't make mistakes in spelling. When you are not sure about words, you must turn to a dictionary.
For any formal letter, we should write all the contents of the letter on a piece of paper. If one page is not enough, you can continue to write on the same piece of paper, but if there are only one or more lines, try to arrange them on one page or divide them into two pages on average.
This letter should be beautifully written. (6) In formal letters, words should be solemn, and idioms and words should not be used.
5. Conclusion is a polite language at the end. Generally, after writing one or two lines below the text, start from the center of the stationery, with the first letter capitalized and a comma at the end.
The wording of the ending words varies according to the situation, usually in the following ways: (1) The credit of the unit, group or stranger: your (very) sincerity, (very) sincerity, (very) loyalty, (very) loyalty, (2) letters to elders can be: your (very) respect, your (. (3) Letters to acquaintances or friends can be yours, forever, brotherly, sincere and loyal, or you can put yours behind.
Letters to relatives or close friends can be used: yours, yours forever, your affectionate, your loyal friend, your affectionate, your dear son (father, mother, nephew ...), all of which can be placed before or after, but they cannot be abbreviated or omitted. 6. signature The signature is at the bottom of the closing pleasantries, slightly to the right, so that the last word can be close to the blank and as neat as the above words.
Sign your name with a blue pen or ballpoint pen, not a typewriter. You can type the name of the company on the signature, and you can also type the position below.
If the writer is a woman, you can indicate Mrs. or Ms. in brackets before signing. The format of the signature cannot be changed frequently.
For example, one letter is signed by G Smith, another letter is signed by Ji Smith, and the third letter is signed by G B Smith.
(2) How to write English letters in English letter envelopes (superscript).
The format of writing a letter in English depends on the nature of your letter. Is this a formal letter? Or communication between friends?
In either case, the basic English letter format should include four parts: date, address, text and signature (including honorific words).
1, between friends
10 month, 16, 20 1 1 (upper right box)
Dear Jimmy (the first box from the left)
I am glad to receive your letter. (Text with four spaces at the beginning)
You are sincere,
Jack (bottom right, including honorific words and signature)
2. Official and official letters
The letter should include the recipient's address (the tradition of preventing the envelope from being damaged in ancient western countries has been used to this day), date, title, text, signature, etc. In fact, the official letter should refer to point 3 more. The more comprehensive it is, the more you pay attention to it.
0065438+0, Xingfu Road, Zone 9
New york, USA 2500 13 (address is also capitalized, from small to large)
(The same as 1 below)
10 month, 16, 20 1 1 (upper right box)

3. More rigorous business English telegrams, including more than a dozen elements. This is difficult, but it is necessary for English business letters.
(Letterhead refers to the sender's address, company information, recipient's address, forwarding, reference number, date, title, subject, text, honorific words, signature, remarks, attachments, etc. )
