A Letter to a Schoolmate
Dear Xiao Wang,
I am very glad to know that you are soon coming to Beijing to join me in the summer holiday. I have been looking forward to your arrival.
Since you can stay in Beijing only for a week, I am afraid that you will have a tight schedule for visiting the numerous places of historic interest. My suggestion is that you first visit some famous places that you have the greatest interest in, such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Place, the Great Wall; then you can visit those places you think less important. I believe this kind of arrangement will make you have enough time to appreciate what you really want to see. Moreover if you really want to be a good traveler, I advise you to read some introductory books to these places before you come to see them with your own eyes. With more knowledge about these places, you will have a better understanding of Chinese history and culture.
I am eager to meet you soon. Wish you in advance a pleasant trip to Beijing.
Yours ever,
Zhang Ying

July 30, 2004
Dear John,
My former roommate at college, Mark Chen, will be in Paris next month to study comparative literature under a scholarship. As you know, I’ve often wanted you two to meet, and this seems like an excellent opportunity.
Although Mark is a very serious student, he is one of the wittiest men I know—a good conversationalist in both French and English.
I’ve asked him to give you a call since he has no definite address as yet. I know how busy you are with your work, so please do not regard this as an obligation. But if you have any free time, do show Mark around a bit. I would never have taken this liberty had I not been sure you would enjoy the meeting.
I’ll really appreciate any kindness you can show him, and I know Mark himself will too.
Sincerely,
Charles

最近,你校的校园网将开辟一个英语学习交流博客(blog)。请你根据下面的内容提示,为校园广播站写一篇广播稿,介绍这个博客,并欢迎同学们积极参与。
1.时间:2015年6月1日开通;
2.目的:促进交流,提高英语水平;
3.内容:交流经验,提出问题,参与每周讨论等;
注意:1. 词数100左右;
2. 请勿提及学校真实名称;
3. 可适当加入细节,以使内容充实、行文连贯;
7.感谢信 (Letter of Thanks)
感谢信的写法没有固定的格式,目的是为他人给予自己的帮助、安慰、款待以及赠送礼物等而表示感谢。感谢信最主要的特点是真诚。缺乏真挚的感情答谢他人,收信人将对你的谢意产生怀疑,感谢的目的也就失去了。因此,写感谢信首先得真心诚意。感谢信另一个特点是具体。写感谢信切忌泛泛而谈,而应着重于具体的感谢事由。
感谢信常用措词有:
I am deeply grateful to you for your kind help.
I can never thank you enough for the favor you did.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness.
I have no words to thank you enough.
Be please to accept my warmest thanks for the great kindness you have shown to me.

从这篇道歉信中可以看出,写好道歉信的关键在于措辞要朴实委婉,语气要诚恳真挚,解释要详细明了。例如原文中“much to my regret”、“Im excessively sorry”、“a feeling of deep regret”都是致歉之词,这就恰如其分地表达了写信人的真诚歉意。

书信类作文范文
一、投诉信(Letter of Complaint)
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to express my concern over the Library service on the campus. As a major in English, I find that most of the books in English in the library are outdated. So far, I have not come across a single book published after 1995. As a result, we fail to get the latest information of academic development both at home and abroad.
In addition, the light in the reading room is far from bright, which does harm to our eyes. Worse still, there is no air-conditioning and we are sweating heavily while reading.
Last but not least, the newly developed electronic information system does not work well and needs further improvement. A great number of books should have been listed in the system. There is no denying that the library has helped us a lot. But it is in urgent need of improvement. When improved, the library is certain to provide much more help with our study.
Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Qiang
二、咨询信(Letter of Inquiry)
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you to apply for the membership of the English Club. As a sophomore from the English Department, I love English literature very much. I often attend the English Corner held on Friday in the People’s University of China and would like to discuss various topics in English with others.
I am eager to be one member of the English Club and improve further my English. I know there are some requirements, but I am not clear about the details. Is it necessary for me to pay for membership? If so, how much should I pay? And how often? I have also heard that the club will host various activities, but can you give me more details.
I would be very grateful if you can send me a reply as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
三、建议信 (Letter of suggestion)
范文1
Dear Tom,
When it comes to which major you should choose, I propose that you apply for the major of English. To begin with, English is the most popular language in the world, which is widely used in all fields such as teaching, translation, foreign trade and so on. What’s more, it goes without saying that English majors are more likely to find a good job in the tighter and tighter job market.
In order to study at English Department, you have to meet the following requirements. In the first place, you have to spend a lot of time on it, just as the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. In the second place, the basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are necessary, because they are the foundations for your future study. Last but not least, you need an intense interest in learning English since “interest is the best teacher.”
As far as the preparation work is concerned, you should first of all review all the required vocabulary. In addition, you’d better spend some time in reading and writing. Only through these measures can you hope to enroll in our university.
Yours,
Zhang Ying

Dear Tom,
I am glad to know you’re going to apply for admission to our university. With regard to major, I advise you to apply for the English major, because the English major of our university wins a notable fame throughout the whole nation by its modern teaching equipment and prestigious professors. Also, most graduates majoring in English in our university get desirable employment in job markets.
And some requirements are essential for applying for the English major of our university. Firstly, you should be good at English grammar and have a considerable vocabulary. Secondly, you should be adept in spoken English, for there is an oral test before the normal examination. Thirdly, good listening ability is also required.
Therefore, when making the preparation, you should pay great attention to enlarging your vocabulary and learning grammar rules. At the same time, you should practice listening and speaking persistently. And, of course, to reach the goal, lots of exercises are necessary.
Yours,
Zhang Ying
四、申请信 (Letter of Application)
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you to apply for a school loan. As a freshman from the English Department, I have much financial difficulty in continuing my study.
There are five members in my family. My father is the only breadwinner of the whole family while my mother was laid off two years ago. My grandmother has been suffering a chronic illness for more than five years. My younger brother is now studying in a high middle school. I took part-time jobs during the summer vacation, but what I have earned is far from enough for me to pay the required tuition fees. In order to continue my study, I have to apply for a school loan.
If my request is granted, I will make good use of the money and put my heart into study. I will definitely pay back the loan according to requirements. I hope that you will consider my application.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Gao Peng
五、祝贺信 (Letter of Congratulations)
Dear John,
I’m very glad to hear that you have passed the entrance examination and been accepted by a very famous university. I feel very proud of you and I believe you really deserve the honor since you have been working so hard.
As you have mentioned in the letter, there are both some similarities and differences between the college life and the life in high school. On the one hand, you have to go on working hard as there are a lot of subjects for you to learn. On the other hand, in high school, teachers will probably tell you what to learn and how to learn in details and will also monitor your learning performance, while in college, teachers work like tour guides and you have to find out your own way to acquire knowledge and solve problems.
For you, I think to be optimistic is very important. If you hope to adapt yourself to the new environment, you’d better be positive no matter what difficulties you will experience in your college life. May you adapt yourself to the college life as soon as possible!
Truly Yours,
Carl

七、感谢信 (Letter of Thanks)
范文
Dear Mr Li,
I’m very excited to write to express my thanks to you. I am now a freshman of Wuhan University, which I have been dreaming about. Mr Li, I still remember the days when you taught me English. My English has been improved greatly because of your creative work. However, at one time, the pressure of examinations, too much homework and the high expectations made me depressed. I was tired of the warning that if I didn’t do my best, I wouldn’t have the chance to go to college. Thanks for your encouragement; if not, I wouldn’t have realized my dream. And now I really understand you. I wish more and more of your students could go to their ideal colleges. Are you still so busy? How I miss you!
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

九、道歉信 (Letter of Apology)
Dear Tom,
How are you going? We made a plan that we would travel in Beijing together next week. However, I should apologize to you because I cannot go there on time for the reasons as follows.
First, I cannot deny that it can help us broaden our horizon and deepen our mind when we travel in Beijing. However, the government encourages us students to go to Shanghai due to the fact that the EXPO is being held in Shanghai now. As the saying goes, “strike while the iron is hot”. After finish my college entrance examination, I am eager to learn something about study from the EXPO to prepare for my education in college. In addition, I have been busy with the preparation of the college entrance examination for about half a year and got tired. I need some time to relax instead of traveling.
For the reasons that I mentioned above, I want to show my apology again. And would you please reschedule your time? Shall we travel in Beijing after two weeks? I am looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours,
Li Hua
