about the Canteen Service on Campus

Dear President,
My name is Li Ming. I am a junior from the Civil Engineering School. I venture to write you a letter to make a complaint about the canteen service of our school.
The focus of the complaint is the poor quality and high price of the food. On one hand, the rice is very hard, the steam bread is often cold, and the vegetables are always overcooked. On the other hand, the price of the food is so high that many poor students are burdened heavily. Under these circumstances, I find it impossible for us students to fully concentrate on the study and enjoy the campus life. grateful

A Letter Declining a Job Offer
Jan. 12, 2008
Dear Mr. Wang,
I am very sorry to tell you that I have to decline your job offer. To be honest, it would be a very good chance for me to work in your company. However, the current situation doesn’t allow me to do this.
This has been a difficult decision for me, but I have to do this. On one hand, I have accepted another job offer before you informed me your decision, which is more in line with my skills and career goals. On the other hand, two hours’ commute to your building is really a burden on me. On account of all these, you can understand why I could not accept your offer.
I hope this does not cause you too much inconvenience. Anyway, I do appreciate your kindness to discuss the details of the position with me and give me time to consider your offer. Meanwhile, I wish that your company would find a more suitable talent as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Jane

June 8, 2012
Dear Xu Haiqing,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates were wearing fashionable clothes, but
you couldn’t afford to buy the best brands. So you felt very depressed. There are different views on people’s wear. The following are my ideas about it.
Firstly, you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on physical appearance. You must always
remember the most important task for you today is to concentrate your attention on your studies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when you come out first in your examinations.
A famous saying goes, ―Frugality is the mother of virtue.‖ So, secondly, you must understand
that it is a fine virtue to learn live in frugality. Since your family is not able to provide you with enough money to buy clothes of the best brands, it is all the more necessary for you to try every means to lighten the financial burden of your family. You will find the virtue of frugality will benefit you a lot in your later life.
I hope you understand what I mean. I am sure you will take a positive attitude towards life
and will be happy again when you read my letter.(205 words)
Yours,
Huangping

篇三：英语日常应用文
第一节概述
随着改革开放的深入,各种国际间交流的增多,英文的使用已成为人们日常生活中并不少见的现象。而用英文书信同国外进行联系也愈来愈多,同时许多外国人生活在中国,同他们的交往,也常常要用到英文。所以掌握一些基本的英语日常应用文的写作知识和方法,会使我们很好地适用这种现实情况,在用到的时候可以轻松简捷,得心应手。
一英语日常应用文的分类
书信是交流思想、互通信息、联络感情的有效工具。从大的范围看,英文书信可分为公函或者事务信件和私人信件两大类。前者主要是单位与单位之间,个人与单位之间的工作来往信件;后者则指个人与个人之间的来往信件。本文所谈及的英语日常应用文是将这两类信件中最常用的抽出来并分别予以介绍。大体来讲,本书介绍的日常应用文有以下几种。
(一)邀请信(letter of invitation)
这是一种很常见的英文书信。朋友亲戚之间相邀约时用它,进行学术交流邀请专家名流要用它,聚餐设宴要用它,请人讲演讲学要用它。
(二)介绍信(letter of introduction)
介绍信也是一种常见的英文书信。私人之间的交往,各种大型的会议交流以及其它商业事务上的业务联系,常常要用到这种书信。
(三)求职信(letter of application to vocation)
向国外有关企业或单位谋职或推荐到国外有关单位工作要写求职信,申请在国内的外资企业工作也要写求职信。这些都要用到英文求职信。
(四)入学申请信(letter of application to school)
到国外的学校学习,一般要先向该校有关单位发出申请信,在得到对方的答复后,才可办理有关手续。近些年来,越来越多的人开始到国外去进修和深造,掌握这类申请信的写法也就显得十分必要了。
(五)庆贺信(letter of congratulation)
庆贺信是一种常见的书信形式。单位开业、朋友结婚得子、生日寿诞等均可写信表示祝贺,它是人们之间感情交流的一项重要的媒介和方式,掌握庆贺信的写法也是十分必要的。
谋职或申请入学等常常需附上专家教授或有关人员的推荐信件。推荐信有时也单独存在。因此作为一种必不可少的交流形式,本书也将介绍推荐信的格式和写法。
(七)简历(resume)
简历也是作为其它有关信件的附件而使用的,它不单独存在,总是随同其它信件一起送达有关单位或人员的。掌握简历的写法也很重要。
二英语书信的基本常识由以上英语常用应用文的分类来看,基本上我们接触的常用应用文主要是书信类。书信的具体写法格式,中文同英文是有很大差别的。因此了解英文书信的一些常识性东西是十分必要的。
(一)英文书信内容的组成部分
英文书信不论是商业信、社交信或朋友间的通信,依据习惯,大体都有六部分组成。即:
信头(heading)
信内地址(inside address)
称呼(salutation)
正文(body)
签名(signature)
1.信头(heading)
英语书信的信头包括发信人的地址和发信的具体日期两部分。信头放在信纸的右上角,一般分行写出。要先写发信人地址,再写发信的日期。写发信地址时依据从小到大的原则,即:先写门牌号码、街道名或路名,再写区(县)及所在市名称,然后是省或州、郡名称,最后再写上国家的名称。日期的顺序是先写月份再写哪一日然后是年份。需写邮政编码,邮政编码写在城市名称后边,用逗号隔开。
信头不能越过信纸中间而写到信纸的左上面。另外需要注意的是,通常在写地址时,第一行写门牌号和街名,第二行写地区名,第三行是日期。一般信头每行末不用标点符号,但每行中间应用的标点不可少,城区名和邮政编码之间,日月和年份之间要用逗号隔开。
信头一般不要写得太高,信头的上面要留些空白。
信头的书写格式有两种:并列式和斜列式。所谓并列式是指信头各行开头上下排列整齐。而所谓斜列式是下一行开头较上一行的开头向右移一至两个字母的位置。如:
并列式:
6p park ave.
new york; ny 11215, u.s.a.
december 1, 1999
斜列式:
6p park ave.
new york, ny 11215, u.s.a
december 1, 1993
2.信内地址(inside address)
信内地址包括收信人的姓名称呼和地址两部分。社交的私人信件信内地址是省略的。信内地址的位置位于信头的左下方,它的开始行低于信头的结尾行,位于信纸中央的左边。
信内地址先写收信人的头衔和姓名,再写地址,地址排列次序同信头一样。信内地址的书写格式也有两种:并列式和斜列式。一般来讲,信头和信内地址所用的格式总是保持一致的。标点符号的使用也与信头一样。
关于信内地址对收信人的头衔和姓名的称呼一般有以下几种情况:
无职称的男子用mr.(加姓)
已婚的女子用mrs.(加女子丈夫的姓)
未婚的女子用miss
婚姻状况不明的女子用ms.
博士或医生用dr.(doctor)
有教授职称的用prof.(professor)
总经理、校长、会长、总统用pres.(president)
3.称呼(salutation)
称呼是对收信人的尊称语,自成一行,与信内地址上下排齐。在美国用“my dear”比用“d ear”还要客气,而英国的用法恰巧相反。对于一个陌生的人通信一般用“dear sir”或“d ear madam”。另外需要注意的是称呼后面用逗号。
4.正文(body)
正文是书信的核心部分。正文的写作必须注意以下几点:
(1)正文从低于称呼一至二行处写起,每段第一行向内缩进约五个字母,转行顶格。正文也采用并列式的写法,即每行都顶格,但段与段之间中间要空出两三行表示分段。
(2)对于非正式的书信,除客气外,没有什么一定的规则。但究竟怎样的措辞,也应事先想好。
(3)对于非常正式的书信,要知道开头句是很重要的。另外,信的内容中的每个段落,只能有一个中心思想,这样看信的人可以清楚、明白你所要表达的内容。为了表达的清楚,还要尽可能地用短句,少用长句、难句。段落也宜短不宜长,尤其开头和结尾两段更应简短。
(4)潦草的字同不整洁的衣服一样不雅观,书写一定要整齐规范。拼写也不能出现错误。对拿不准的词一定要求助于字典。
(5)凡正式的书信,我们应将该信的全部内容写在一张信纸上。若一张不够,可用同样质地大小的信纸继续书写,但若仅多出一两行则设法排得紧些放在一张上,或平均分为两页也好。信要写得美观大方。
(6)正式的书信,词语要庄重,决不可用俗语和省笔字。
结尾语就是结尾的客套语。一般写于正文下空一两行后,从信纸中央处起笔写,第一个字母大写,末尾用逗号。结尾语措辞的变化依据情况而定,通常有以下几种:
(1)写给单位、团体或不相识的人的信用:
yours (very) truly,(very) truly yours
yours (very) faithfully,(very) faithfully yours,
(2)写给尊长上级的信可用:
yours (very )respectfully,
yours (very )obediently,
yours gratefully,
yours appreciatively,
也可以将yours 放在后面。
(3)写给熟人或朋友的信可用:
yours,yours ever,yours fraternally,
yours cordially,yours devotedly,
也可以将yours 放在后面。
(4)给亲戚或密友的信可用:
yours,yours ever,yours affectionately,
yours devoted friend,
lovingly yours,
yours loving son (father,mother,nephew??),
以上各种情况 yours 无论放在前面或是放在后面都行,但不可缩写或省去。
6.签名(signature)
签名是在结尾客套语的下面,稍偏于右,这样末一个字可以接近空白而和上面的正文一样齐。签名当用蓝钢笔或圆珠笔,不能用打字机打。签名上面可以用打字机打出所在公司单位名称,下面也可打出职位。写信人为女性,则可在署名前用括号注明mrs.或miss。
签名的格式不能常变换。如一封签g·smith,另一封签george smith,第三封用g·b·smit h。男子签字前不可用mr.、prof.或dr.字样。
(二)英文书信信封的写法(superscription)
英文书信信封的写法同中文也不一样。具体来讲,英文书信应这样安排信封内容。
1.寄信人姓名地址写在信封的左上角。收信人的姓名地址写在信封中间靠下或靠右地方。姓名要单独成行。姓名地址的写法同信头(heading)和信内地址(inside address)一样。所用格式(并列式或斜列式)也同信内的安排一致。注意写上邮政编码。
2.信封左下角可以写些说明语。如写上general delivery(平信)、registered(挂号信)、express(快件)、air mail(航空)、personal(亲启)、please forward(请较交)、prin ted matter(印刷品)、book post(图书邮件)、manuscripts(稿件)、photos enclosed(内有照片)、top secret(绝密件)等。
3.若信封通过邮局寄给第三者转交给收信人,则需在收信人的姓名下面写明转交人的姓名,并在前面加上c/o(care of)。如:
