Section Ⅶ Writing--建议信
本单元的写作任务是建议信。建议信是英语中常见的一种应用文体,就是在你所写的信中发表你的建议与看法。建议信除了遵循书信的格式之外,还要求在信中针对对方的问题,给出你的观点及解决办法。
一、基本结构
建议信一般采取"三段式结构"。
首段:表明意图,陈述事由。
主体段:应该首先肯定对方的优点,然后再写需要改进的地方或针对具体情况提出具体建议或忠告。通常以firstly,secondly,thirdly或to begin/start with,then,later,last but not least等依次陈述建议。
结尾段:礼貌地总结或表示期盼回复。
二、注意事项
1.注意结构。通常以"三段式"结构行文。
