各位可爱的同学：
考题为应用文写作，所以要注意：
1.条理清楚，按照下列老师所列每种应用文的格式把内容写完整。
2.可以先用中文把提纲要求包含的信息都写下来，再翻译成英语。这样可以确保
不会把应该包括的信息漏掉。
3.不要写错误的单词，宁可用简单易懂的单词代替，注意卷面清洁和工整。
预祝大家都考上心仪的学校，制定好复习计划，按部就班，调整好心态好好复习，
你的心愿一定能实现，人生该吃苦该拼搏时就要拼搏！各位加油！

更多例子：
1. 因未能践约赴宴致歉 Unable to keep one’s promise
Dear [Miss Nancy],
Much to my regret I was unable to keep my promise to attend your [birthday] party
[last Saturday], owing to the fact that my [little son] was suddenly taken ill early [that
day].
Hoping to see you soon.
Truly yours,
亲爱的[南希小姐]：
[小儿][上周六]突然生病，因此未能应约赴[生日]宴，殊觉抱歉，希原谅，再见。
祝好！
2. 因迟复来信致歉 Because of answering one’s letter late
Dear [David]:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered
your letter dated [7, December] sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust
you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was
just in [Hong Kong]. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it
has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the
first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep
regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an
account to of them when I see you next.
Yours,
亲爱的[戴维]：
请原谅我收到您[12月7日]的来信后迟迟未复，现将原因告诉您，相信您一定会
谅解的。您的来信到来时，我正巧在[香港]，家人无法及时转递。你的信一直放
在我写字台上，直到我回到才看见，拖至今天才回信，深表歉意。
这次出去旅行饱览了许多美丽景色，下次见到您时，将告诉您一切。
祝好！
3. 因未能及时还书致歉 Unable to return borrowed book on time
Dear [Kate]:
Excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “Robinson Crusoe” which I read through with great interest. I had finished reading the book and was about to return it when [my cousin] came to see me. Never having seen the book, [She] was so interested in it that I had to retain it longer. However, I hope that in view of the
additional delight thus afforded by your book, you will overlook my negligence in not returning it sooner.
Thanking you again for the loan.
Sincerely yours,
亲爱的[凯特]：
我迟迟未能归还您的那本《鲁滨逊飘流记》，请原谅。该书我读得津津有味。读完后，正预备归还您时，我的[表妹]来访，见这本书也感兴趣，定要借去一读。为了让别人也能分享您那本书所给予的乐趣，我不能及时归还。我想再延迟些日子奉还，谅您不会介意的。
再次感谢您的慷慨。
祝好！
4. 因遗失借书致歉 Because of losing a borrowed book
Dear [Frank]:
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me [last week]. I read it [everyday] and intended to finish it [next month]. [Last night] when I came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. I will try to recover it as soon as possible. If I fail to find it, I will get a new book for you.
But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost, they can never be replaced. They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss, I am to blame. I was so careless with my things. This is a warning to me to be more careful
in the future.
Yours truly,
亲爱的[弗兰克]：
很抱歉，[上星期]您借给我的那本书竟遗失了。我[每天]都在看，准备[下个月]看完。[昨晚]我回到我的卧室，到处也找不到那本书。我将尽力找到它。万一找不到，我只好买一本新的还您。
但是，新书恐怕不能代替那本旧书吧！旧书跟旧友一样，一旦失去就不能再得。旧书与往事相连，这种不可弥补的损失，皆由我起。我对待一切太大意了，这次给我一个警告，叫我以后要小心。
三、慰问信
慰问信应写得真切，注意措辞，对轻病或者小损失，慰问信应写得轻松一些。相反，对严重病情或重大损失，信就应该写得深沉一些。慰问信写时应注意：
1. 写给受伤人的信要简短，中肯。信中不必问询事故发生的过程、原因、见证人等。
2. 慰问信中应写一些被慰问者喜欢或熟悉的事物，如病人的爱好、兴趣等，以使病人得到宽慰。
1. 向朋友问候 A letter of inquiring after someone’s health

The knowledge that my thoughts are with you at his time will, I hope, be of some comfort to you.

Dear Sir,
I wish to apply for admission to your department as a graduate student. I am writing to ask whether it will be possible for you to grant me a full scholarship.
I have just graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and got my bachelors degree last month. During my four years in the university, I have passed all the compulsory courses of study with high marks. Furthermore, I have chosen a wide range of optional courses such as literary, history and public speaking to widen my horizon and sharpen my mind.
My father, a professor of English in Nanjing University, has been teaching me English since I was a child. So I believe I will not have any language difficulties while learning in your country.
I would be most grateful if my request receives your favorable consideration. Thank you in advance and look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
语言注意点申请信开篇应点明主题，语言简练。接着说明做此申请的原因，即自己所具备的申请条件，这一部分需重点明确，论述充分。最后请求回复并表示感谢时，应采用礼貌、诚恳的措辞。

Dear Sir,
I have heard that a service team which aims to help the old and the handicapped will be organized in our community. I am very interested in it and want to join the team. I now study in Tongji University and my parents live here. It is known to all that it is a virtue to help others in need. As a college student, I am eager to do something for the society. Helping others is meaningful in that we not only bring others convenience and strength but also gain pleasure and satisfaction ourselves. Therefore, please allow me to join the team. I will certainly try my best.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

摘要：邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。
邀请信包括宴会、舞会、晚餐、聚会、婚礼等各种邀请信件，形式上大体分为两种:一种为正规的格式 (formal correspondence)，亦称请柬;一种是非正式格式 (informal correspondence), 即一般的邀请信。邀请信是在形式上不如请柬那样正规，但也是很考究。书写时应注意:
邀请信一定要将邀请的时间(年、月、日、钟点)、地点、场合写清楚，不能使接信人存在任何疑虑。例如:“I’d like you and Bob to come to Luncheon next Friday.”这句话中所指的是哪个星期五并不明确，所以应加上具体日期, “I’d like you and Bob to come to luncheon next Friday, May the fifth.”
1. 邀请朋友共进午餐 Inviting a friend to informal luncheon
Dear [Zhang Ying]:
Will you come to luncheon on [Friday, May the fifth], at [twelve o’clock]? My niece [Mary] is visiting us and I think you will enjoy meeting her. She is a charming, very pretty girl and very good company! [John and Jane] will be here, and perhaps we can [give a dance] after luncheon. Do say you’ll come!
Affectionately yours,
Li Ming
亲爱的[张营]:

[Mr. and Mrs. Lin Dun] are that very charming couple we met in [London] last summer. They have a wonderful collection of [oil paintings of various stages]; and I understand that Mr. Lin Dun is quite an authority on [oil painting]. I’m sure you and Walter will thoroughly enjoy and evening in their company.
We’re planning supper at six; that will give us a nice long evening to talk. If I don’t hear from you before then, I’ll be expecting you on the [twelfth]!

I think we can promise [Fred] some good fishing this year. The fish are biting better than ever! So bring your fishing clothes; and be sure to bring your tennis things, too, because [the Owens] are coming and I’m sure you’ll want to get out on the courts with them.

[星期五晚上]有一班舒适的火车，我已经在火车时刻表上做了红色记号，火车大约在[7点半钟]把你们送到这里，正是吃晚饭时间。[星期日晚上]你们可以乘晚车回来。或者，在[星期一早晨]也有一班快车，就是[鲍勃]常坐的那一班车。 我们希望没有什么事情会阻碍你们，我们在等待着你们光临 我知道[欧文夫妇]好盼望再次见到你们。准备乘哪一班火车，请一定告诉我们，好让[鲍勃]到车站迎接你们。
