书信形式英语作文(实用20篇)

英语书信是英语中最常见的应用文体裁，用途极为广泛。以下是小编整理的大学英语书信作文格式，欢迎阅读参考！

1、信头(heading)

信头是指发信人的姓名(单位名称)、地址和日期，一般写在信纸的右上角。一般公函或商业信函的信纸上都印有单位或公司的名称、地址、电话号码等，因此就只需在信头下面的右边写上写信日期就可以了。

英文地址的写法与中文完全不同，地址的名称按从小到大的顺序：第一行写门牌号码和街名;第二行写县、市、省、州、邮编、国名;然后再写日期。标点符号一般在每一行的末尾都不用，但在每一行的之间，该用的还要用，例如在写日期的时候。

其中日期的写法，如1997年7月30日，英文为：july 30，1997(最为普遍);july 30th，1997;30th july，1997等。1997不可写成97。

2、信内地址(inside address)

其中在一般的社交信中，信内收信人的地址通常省略，但是在公务信函中不能。将收信人的姓名、地址等写在信头日期下方的左角上，要求与对信头的要求一样，不必再写日期。例如：

3、称呼(salutation)

是写信人对收信人的称呼用语。位置在信内地址下方一、二行的地方，从该行的顶格写起，在称呼后面一般用逗号(英国式)，也可以用冒号(美国式)。

(1)写给亲人、亲戚和关系密切的朋友时，用dear或my dear再加上表示亲属关系的称呼或直称其名(这里指名字，不是姓氏)。例如：my dear father，dear tom等。

(2)写给公务上的信函用dear madam，dear sir或gentleman(gentlemen)。注意：dear纯属公务上往来的客气形式。gentlemen总是以复数形式出现，前不加dear，是dear sir的复数形式。

(3)写给收信人的信，也可用头衔、职位、职称、学位等再加姓氏或姓氏和名字。例如：dear prof. tim scales, dear dr.john smith。

4、正文(body of the letter)

位置在下面称呼语隔一行，是信的核心部分。因此要求正文层次分明、简单易懂。和中文信不同的是，正文中一般不用hello!(你好!)

正文有缩进式和齐头式两种。每段书信第一行的第一个字母稍微向右缩进些，通常以五个字母为宜，每段第二行从左面顶格写起，这就是缩进式。

但美国人写信各段落往往不用缩进式，用齐头式，即每一行都从左面顶格写起。商务信件大都采用齐头式的写法。

5、结束语(complimentary close)

在正文下面的一、二行处，从信纸的中间偏右处开始，第一个词开头要大写，句末用逗号。不同的对象，结束语的写法也不同。

(1)写给家人、亲戚，用your loving grandfather，lovingly yours，lovingly等;

(2)写给熟人、朋友，用yours cordially，yours affectionately等;

(3)写业务信函用truely yours(yours truely)，faithfully yours(yours faithfully)等;

(4)对上级、长辈用yours obediently(obediently yours)，yours respectfully(respectfully yours)等。

6、签名(signature)

低于结束语一至二行，从信纸中间偏右的地方开始，在结束语的正下方，在签完名字的下面还要有用打字机打出的名字，以便识别。职务、职称可打在名字的下面。当然，写给亲朋好友的信，就不必再打了。

7、附言(postscript)

如果一封信写完了，突然又想起遗漏的事情，这时用p.s.表示，再写上遗漏的话即可，要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方，应于正文齐头。

注意：在正式的信函中，应避免使用附言。

8、附件(enclosure)

如果信件里面有附件，可在信纸的左下角，注上encl：或enc：，例如：encl：2 photos(内附两张照片)。如果福建附件不止一项，应写成encl：或encs。

我们有时可看到在称呼与正文之间有re：或subject：(事由)字样。一般在信纸的中间，也可与“称呼”对齐。还应在底下加横线，以引起读信人的注意，使收信人便于在读信之前就可了解信中的主要内容。事由一般在公务信函中使用，也可以省略。

1、Thank you very much for ....

十分感谢...

2、Many thanks for your ...

非常感谢您...

3、Please accept my sincere appreciation for ...

请接受我对...真挚的感谢

4、I am truly grateful to you for ...

为了...，我真心感激您

5、It was good (thoughtful) of you ...

承蒙好意(关心)...

6、You were so kind to send ...

承蒙好意送来...

7、Thank you again for your wonderful hospitality and I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

再次感谢您的盛情款待，并期待不久见到您

8、I find an ordinary "thank-you" entirely inadequate to tell you how much...

我觉得一般的感谢的字眼完全不足以表达我对您多么地...

9、I sincerely appreciate ...

我衷心地感谢...

10、I wish to express my profound appreciation for ...

我对..深表谢意

11、Many thanks for you generous cooperation

would rather (not) do.

假若你是《21th century》报纸的编辑，有一学生向你写了如下的一封信，请你根据来

信的内容写一封回信，帮他出出主意。字数约为100左右。

Dear Editor,

My physics teacher is very strict with us. I often feel nervous in his classes because we are punished by being made to stand for a few minutes if we cant answer his questions. Its embarrassing (尴尬) to be made to stand in class, so I hate physics classes. However, I really want to do well in physics. What should I do?

Yours sincerely

Zhang Ying

Dear Zhang Ying,

I am sorry you are having difficulty with your physics classes. Teachers have many different ways of encouraging students to put in more effort — it seems as though your physics teacher thinks fear is the best way! He does it because he thinks it will produce results. If you feel that it is stopping you from doing your best then you should tell him. You say you want to do well in physics and if your teacher knows this, he will be pleased. It is only when students are not trying as hard as they can that a teacher is forced to take action. If he is aware of your worries, perhaps he will suggest other ways of helping you improve your work.

Editor

张颖

亲爱的张颖，

我很抱歉你在物理课上遇到了困难。老师们有许多不同的方式鼓励学生投入更多的精力，这似乎是你的物理老师认为恐惧是最好的方式！他这样做是因为他认为这会产生结果。如果你觉得这是阻止你做你最好的，那么你应该告诉他。你说你想在物理方面做得很好，如果你的老师知道这一点，他会很高兴的。只有当学生没有尽可能地努力，他们可以教师被迫采取行动。如果他知道你的担心，也许他会建议其他的方法来帮助你改善工作。

worse,your body will be weaker and weaker and so on.So,I dont think its

terrible for you to use the cellphone at the school.

These are my thoughts,I hope they will be useful for you.

亲爱的你：

您好!

你，您这个人什么都好，就是爱唠叨，每次我写作业，您总

是三番两次地进来端茶送水，说这说那：!“坐直!”“写好字”。“整理桌子，你看你乱成什么样子了?”每次都这样说，我的耳朵都听出茧子了!有时候真想吼一句：烦死了。

可是，当你不在身边的时候却又怀念起您的唠叨了，记得那次，您去南京有事，需要几天才能回来，我很开心，自认为没有人“唠叨 ”可快活了，那几天，我早饭是外面买的包子，午饭是麦当劳，晚饭是水果。这是我多么向往的日子啊!可是刚过了两天就开始想您了，想您亲手做的饭菜，煲的汤，想念您的“唠叨 ”。放学后赶紧打电话，在那时，我多么希望能在电话里多“唠叨 ”几句，可是每次打电话您总是先挂，我时常听着那“嘟-----嘟-----”的声音发愣，七天过去了，整整一个星期!您终于回来了，我欣喜若狂。那时我才知道，您的“唠叨 ”，已经成了我生活的一部分，不可或缺的一部分。

自从那次以后，我再也不嫌您烦，您的“唠叨”在我听来是美妙的音乐。我也知道您的“唠叨”是为我好，让我坐直，是为了让我以后坐不直，让我写好字，是为了以后让我不为此遗憾，让我整理书桌，是为了让我用起来更方便。 我知道，您的“唠叨 ”是为了我好，您的唠叨里包含了浓浓的爱意，您的“唠叨”都是我以后生活，学习中要注意的事项。

您的“唠叨”对我来讲已不再是“唠叨 ”，它是爱，如泉水一般滋润着我的心田，如指针一般指引我的方向，你长大了我会更爱您，报答您的养育之恩。

祝您身体健康，万事如意。

爱您的女儿

In your last letter, you mentioned that you want to know something about the Spring Festival. I am writing to tell you about it. Spring Festival has a long history, which was originally celebrated to scare away a fierce beast “Nian”. Slightly different from that in the past, it is now given new meanings and regarded as a way forpeople to enjoy reunion with their families however far they live or work. On the New Year’s Eve, each family has its members gathered together. They tell each other their lives in the past year, exchange gifts and eat a lot of delicious meals in the warmth of the family. Children can get lucky money in red paper. People have a good time, holding opera performances, and other celebrations.

I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival.

Yours,

Li Hua

我希望你能来这里体验这个美妙的节日。
