在备考雅思考试的过程中,许多考生往往觉得写作是一项简单的任务,然而实际情况并非如此。特别是对于G类写作,很多人可能会感到手足无措。今天,让我们一起来探讨如何应对这一挑战,从格式到技巧,全面提升你的写作水平。


首先,让我们来了解一下正式书信和非正式书信的区别。正式书信通常用于写给不太熟悉或关系不亲密的人,比如公司经理、学校校长等。而非正式书信则更多地用于与朋友、家人等熟悉的人交流。


在写正式书信时,我们需要注意以下几点:开头称呼要得体,避免使用缩写和问句、感叹句,使用正式的连接词,以及结尾要表达期待或感激之情,并以“Yours faithfully”结束。而在非正式书信中,则可以更加随意一些,可以使用缩写、问句和感叹句,使用口语化的连接词,并以口语化的结尾句结束。


具体来说


正式书信:严谨而不失礼貌的表达

正式书信是职场沟通的基石,无论是向不熟悉的公司经理提出请求,还是向学校领导表达意见,一封得体的信函都能为你加分不少。记住以下几点,让你的正式书信既专业又高效:

  1. 恰当的称呼:未知姓名时用“Dear Sir or Madam”,已知则采用“Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. + 姓氏”。

  2. 直接进入主题:无需冗长的问候,直接而礼貌地表达来信目的。

  3. 避免缩写与非正式用语:保持语言的正式度,确保每个单词都完整拼写,使用标准书面语。

  4. 陈述语气:用事实和逻辑支撑你的观点,避免情绪化表达。

  5. 正式连接词:使用如“However”、“Consequently”等词增强论述的连贯性。

  6. 学术化搭配:偏好使用专业术语和正式表达,提升信件的专业度。

  7. 结尾得体:以“Yours faithfully”结束,附上全名,展现尊重与期待。


非正式书信:拉近距离的情感交流

非正式书信则是建立在友好关系基础上的沟通方式,适合写给亲朋好友或熟人。它允许更多的个人色彩和情感表达:

  1. 亲切的称呼:直接使用对方的名字,如“Dear Sarah”。

  2. 温馨问候:以轻松愉快的方式开启对话,如“I hope this finds you well”。

  3. 自由使用缩写:在这种场合下,适当的缩写更能体现亲密感。

  4. 灵活句式:问句、感叹句皆可,让文字充满活力。

  5. 随意连接词:使用日常口语中的连接词,如“And”、“So”,让对话流畅自然。

  6. 口语表达:欢迎使用生动有趣的俚语或习语,让内容更加贴近生活。

  7. 轻松结尾:以“Take care”或“See you soon”等结束,传递轻松氛围。

Dear Sir or Madam, 


I am Your Name, an ICU Nurse at the Urdaneta City Sacred Heart Hospital, located in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines. I have learned from a colleague that you will conduct an Electrocardiogram Training in Singapore. I am writing to ask for some specific information regarding the seminar schedule, program details, accommodation arrangement and the cost.


Firstly, with regards to dates and time, what will be the seminar schedule and what time would it begin and end each day? Secondly, please notify me of the topics and speakers of the program. I am wondering if there is any special consideration for the registered nurses who will be attending the seminar? 


And finally, I would also like to know about the accommodation and the cost. Would the accommodation be arranged by you or should an individual be responsible for that? What would be the approximate cost to attend and successfully finish the seminar? I am very much interested in attending the seminar and your reply would help me plan for it in advance. So, I am looking forward to hearing from you soon regarding my concerns.


Yours faithfully, 


Your Name

A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday.

Dear Friend, 


Thank you for agreeing to house-sit for me. If you need to contact me while I'm away, I’ll be staying at The Merrion Hotel, Merrion Square in Dublin. If it’s urgent, however, please call me on my mobile phone, which I’ll keep with me at all times. I’ve written the numbers on a sticky note which I’ve left on the fridge. 


My cat needs to be fed twice daily -morning and evening. So each morning and evening put a handful of cat food in his dish and fresh water in his water pot. You will find the food in a jar in the kitchen cupboard. Please check throughout the day to make sure he drinks plenty of fresh water. You can give him a small bowl of milk in the evening but do it every other day. 


I would like you to water my plants, too. The indoor ones in the lounge only need water twice a week but the plants on the balcony need to be watered daily except on rainy days. Finally, for security, please lock the door and shut the windows before you go to bed. Also, clear my mailbox every day and keep the outside lights on at night. 


I look forward to seeing you on my return. 


Warm wishes, 


Your Name

Dear Mr and Mrs Williams, 


I am writing in regards to the complaint I have received from you recently. My sincere apology for the inconvenience and problem caused due to my actions and I assure you that I will be more careful in the future about it. 

I started learning the piano recently. As you may know, I work full-time and the only free time I am able to dedicate to my classes is weekends. I have hired a piano teacher to teach me during the weekends and I am sorry that the noise reached your flat. 

I am sorry about the inconvenience I caused to you and Mrs Williamds. I did not expect the sound of my piano to be so loud and reach your rooms. I totally understand your position and request you to accept my sincere apologies. 

As a solution, I have decided that I will continue my piano classes at my tutor's house instead of mine. This way I would be able to continue my practice and not disrupt you. 

I hope this unpleasant situation hasn’t hurt our friendship. 


Yours sincerely, 


Your Name
