【G类雅思必备】雅思书信作文的写作思路剖析
G类的小作文绝大多数都是以书信形式展开的,这一形式本身决定了它与A类小作文有着很大的区别。但仔细分析一下题目,基本万变不离其宗,下面以剑9的一道题目为例来进行题目分析。
You are working for a company. You need to take some time off work and want to ask your manager about this.
Write a letter to your manager. In your letter
Explain why you want to take time off work
Give details of the amount of time you need
Suggest how your work could be covered while you are away
首先,作文题目会给出一个情境,也就是要写这封信的事由和目的。紧接着,题目用小标题的形式给出了三个要求,也就是书信必须要讲清楚的三件事情,告诉大家要写什么。这样清晰的题目提出的方法,给审题降低了很大的难度,也为评分标准之一的“人物完成”减轻了很大的负担,因为大家只要就着这样的要求一一回应就可以,而非像A类图表题一样还要动很大脑筋去想该写什么内容才能最好地回应任务。
一段答一条,就这么简单!
条理清晰的问题提出方法,也为文章的结构指出了一条明路。大家只需要为题目中的目的介绍和三个条目分别安排一段即可。在顺序上,如果有进行自我介绍的要求(如果有,一般出现在三个条目的第一条),就将自我介绍和写信目的写在第一段,将剩下两个条目分别写一段。
信件结构轻松搞定,现在来关心一下格式问题。首先,地址是不需要写。开头称谓顶格写,有时试卷会给出完整的称谓,有时只给出“Dear…”。如果没有给出称谓,我们采取的方案就是以下两种中的一种:根据情境的要求,如果完全不认识收信人,写上“Dear Sir/Madam”;如果认识收信人,就来给收信人编一个名字吧,例如“Dear Jack”“Dear Mr Green”等。注意称谓结束用一个逗号。主体段的各段都顶格写,每段之间空一行。落款的祝福有很多种写法,通用的方法是“Sincerely yours”顶格写,后面接逗号。而后空一行留下名字,同样,名字也给自己编一个,不要用真名,写个“Mary”啊“Tom”啊都可以。
附一篇高分范文:
Writing task 1
As part of a student social survey project, you are organizing a group to visit a historical exhibition in a small town.
Write a letter asking for information regarding such things as the contents of the exhibition, and the dates of its opening and closing, and if there are any discounts available.
Dear Sir,
I am organizing a group of students to pay a visit to the historical exhibition in your town. This visit will be part of our school’s activities to encourage the students to take part in social surveys. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could supply me with the following information.
First of all, what are the dates between which the exhibition will be held, and what are the daily opening hours? Secondly, what is the size of the exhibition, what is its theme and what objects are on display? Thirdly, are there any other activities being held in connection with the exhibition?
I must point out that I hope to bring over students to the exhibition. So I would like to inquire if there is any discount available on entrance tickets for students. If so, how much is the discount and what is the minimum number of students necessary to qualify for it?
I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
George Moore
