Dear mother:

Hello

Dear mother, you have given me life, and my body has run through your

blood. It is your milk, heart, blood, tears and sweat that have become the

greatest liquid of human life and have nurtured me. It is you who feed me from a

hungry child to a primary school student.

Dear mother, there are many kinds of love in the world, but maternal love

is the most selfless, sincere, broadest and most merciful. When praising the

affection of human beings, you are the eternal theme. When you sing the sincere

love of the world, your love is called the first love in the world. Selfless is

your character, dedication is your feelings. You are the embodiment of goodness.

You are a symbol of greatness. Everything beautiful in women is condensed in

your image.

My dear mother, though the hardships of life have made your hands rough,

however, these hands are still so gentle, it always soothes my heart and gives

me infinite comfort; although the heavy work makes your head white hair, but the

body is still like the wing, caring for me all the time. The hard work of hard

work makes your face wrinkle. However, the face is still so kind. It teaches me

the true meaning of life and gives me confidence and strength at all times.

My dear mother, you are the resting place for your daughter. You are the

harbor for your daughter to escape from the wind. With you, our home will be

peaceful and warm. With you, our family will be happy and happy.

Dear mother, your great love is the greatest and selfless, your love in the

heart of the daughter turned from the bottom of the heart from the bottom of the

heart out - only the mother is good, the mother of the child like a treasure,

into the mothers embrace can not enjoy happiness.

Dear President,

I’m a second year student of your university writing to tell you about my

humble opinions of the learning environment in our school.

Although we’re enjoying the modernized buildings equipped with advanced

computers sufficient lights and well-installed desks and chairs we do find it

hard for us to concentrate on study when we’re in the classrooms. For one thing

the annoying noise made by the vans and cars disturbs our studies. For another

the classrooms which are supposed to be used for self-study are unavailable for

they are usually occupied for meetings by various kinds of associations.

Faced with such a hard nut we should find ways to crack it. I suggest that

our school should construct some special lanes for the traffic and provide

associations with specific rooms to have their meetings in order to provide a

better learning environment for us.

I appreciate your sincere consideration of my suggestions and hope that our

school will be ideal for academic studies.

Yours sincerely,

Dear principal:

Hello! Is the body coming in well?

headmaster! Have you found any shortcomings in the school recently? At the

back of the school there is a trail to the outside of the school. Sometimes when

the last class is physical education, some people go back from there first; when

the school door is not open at noon, some students enter the school from there,

disturbing other students to take a nap.

headmaster! In the middle of the teaching building and the laboratory

building, there are two lawns. When spring and summer come, a lot of grass will

grow, making it impossible for people to play on it. headmaster! I suggest that

you turn those two lawns into lotus ponds with pavilions and paths. When the

students have finished a few classes, they are a little tired, so they can rest

on it; relax. In this way, you will have sufficient energy in class and listen

carefully.

Wish: Good health and smooth work!

Sincerely,

Your student:

尊敬的校长：

您好!进来的身体是否很好?

校长!最近您有没有发现学校不足的地方?在学校的后面有一条小道可同往学校外。在有时是最后一节课是体育课时，有人就从那儿先回去了;中午午睡时学校的大门还没有开，有些同学就从那儿进了学校，打扰别的同学午睡。

校长!在教学楼和实验楼的中间，有两块草坪。每当春夏季节来临时，就会长出许多的草，让人无法在上面嬉戏。校长!我建议您把那两块草坪修成荷花池，上面有亭子和小道。当同学们上完几节课时，有点累了，就可以在上面休息;放松一下心情。这样在上课就会有充分的精神，认真听讲。

祝：身体健康，工作顺利!

你的学生：

When I was young, you began to have long hair for me. You said girls had

long hair and beautiful hair. But this is a lot of trouble for you, but for your

daughters beauty, I wash my hair once every 32 days and comb a beautiful

hairstyle. Every time I wash my hair, Im afraid Im cold or ironed. You always

adjust the water temperature so well. The children in the community envy me that

I have a good mother.

After I go to primary school, you always get up early every morning and

wake me up after a good meal, but sometimes I still pick and pick, and dont eat

well and make you sad. But you never get angry with me. Instead, you do it for

me on the second day. On the way to school, I saw other children taking the cake

and eating while walking. I wanted to tell you, "Mom, how nice you are!"

Remember last semester, when the math unit test, there was a simple

formula, because of my carelessness made a mistake, you see after very angry,

very hard to criticize me. At that time, I almost cried by your quarrel, but I

knew in my heart that your severity was for my good.

Mom, here I want to say to you, "Mom, I love you!" You are hard! "

Dear Amy,

I am happy to be your new pen pal. I live in China. I am in Grade Six.I

Dear principal:

Hello! I am Huang Sui from Grade Two Class Two. I know you are very busy,

but I hope you will finish reading my letter in your busy schedule.

Recently, I discovered that some older brothers and sisters left after

washing their hands without turning off the water. If this continues, we will

run out of water! I told them to close the water well, or close the water

tightly, but they didn’t listen, and they said, "Go away, kid, be careful I beat

you to death!" I had no choice but to wash my hands first. Then turn off the

water. The same goes for the aunts in the cafeteria. When I saw them washing the

dishes, the water in a big basin was already full, so I still didnt turn off

the water. I hope that the older brothers and sisters and the aunts in the

cafeteria can get rid of this habit of wasting water and become water-saving

people!

Dear principal, I hope you can tell everyone to save water and protect our

resources. Thanks!

Working smoothly!

Sincerely,

Your student:

亲爱的校长：

您好!我是二(2)班的__。我知道您很忙，但我希望您在百忙之中看完我的这封信。

最近，我发现有些高年级的大哥哥大姐姐洗完手后，水也不关的就走了。要是再这样下去的话，那我们就要没水用了!我跟他们说把水关好，或者是把水关紧，他们都不听，还说：“走开点儿，小屁孩，小心我揍死你!”我没办法，只有自己先洗好手，然后再把水关好。食堂的阿姨们也是这样。我看见她们洗碗的时候，一个大大的盆子，里面的水都已经满出来了，还是不把水关掉。我希望高年级的大哥哥大姐姐和食堂的阿姨能改掉这个浪费水的习惯，做一个节约用水的人!

亲爱的校长，希望您能跟大家说说，让大家都节约用水，保护我们的资源。谢谢!祝

工作顺利!

你的学生：

Dear President,

Hello!

I am an ordinary student in the school, I have lived in the school for more

than five years, our school is a beautiful big garden, is the teachers,

classmates common home. Here, I can smell the fresh air every day, I feel happy

for I can study in such an environment. However, I found that some students are

destroying our "home". Look at the plastic bags of bread "dancing" in the

hallway. However, none of the students passing by will pick it up. In order to

provide a better environment for the school, I would like to make the following

suggestions:

1. Tell the students about environmental protection with the red scarf

broadcast and publicity column.

2. Set up an environmental protection team and invite students to

participate voluntarily. Students from the environmental protection team will go

to the corridors of each floor for inspection at regular times every day. If you

see a student throw it, give appropriate criticism. And give rewards to those

who find out.

3. Call on students to make a handwritten newspaper about environmental

protection to enhance their awareness of environmental protection.

4. Set up a "green mobile red flag" rating column. Let the students from

the environmental protection team go to each class at 2:30 p.m. every day to

check the health situation and urge the students to pay attention to health.

The above is my suggestion, I hope you can take it and make our school a

more beautiful big garden.

Your students:__

Dear Mr. President,

My name is __, a sophomore majoring in International Trade. Having

learned and lived on campus for nearly two years, I have found university life

most exciting and instructive.

What happens around me every day has left a deep impression on me, but what

strikes me most is the canteen service on campus, so that for some time I have

had the keen desire to write to you, sharing with you my positive comments on

and negative feelings about it. On the one hand, we are happy to see that the

canteen staff has been sparing no efforts to guarantee food quality. As a

result, we are relieved from the anxiety that some food might be dirty, stale

and inedible. We also feel contented with the service provided by the canteen,

enjoying food in a homely atmosphere. On the other hand, improvements should be

made for the simple reason that prices for dishes are unreasonably high, and

that the canteen is not spacious enough and too noisy at times.

Therefore, to improve the overall service of the canteen the strengths

should be encouraged, while the weaknesses ought to be overcome by lowering

prices and expanding the canteen if possible.

Yours,

____

尊敬的校长:

我叫__，是国际贸易专业的大二学生,经历了将近两年的校园生活,我感觉大学生活非常令人兴奋。

周围每天所发生的一切都让我印象深刻,但是学校食堂的服务却很难让人满意。因此有好几次我都很想给你写信,与你分享好的评论和不好的感受。一方面,食堂不遗余力的`保证饭菜质量很让人欣慰,这样我们不用担心某些事物不干净,不新鲜,不宜食。对于食堂的服务我们也感到满意,学校为我们创造了家一样的氛围。另一方面,显而易见饭菜的价格太高,食堂不够宽敞,有时会很吵,这些都是需要改进的地方。

因此,应当加大力度改善食堂的整体服务,通过降低价格和扩大食堂来克服缺点。

尊敬您的____

Dear Headmaster,

I am a student of our school.I,d like to say

something about the canteen service in our school.

There are 3 advantages of

canteen service in our school.First,our canteen is very clean,Second,the food is

delicious,Third,the attitude of service is good.

But it also has some

disadvantages . Such as the price of the food is high, few variety to choose

from,too long waiting time for buying food.

In my opinion,we can invite our

student to take part in the canteen for offering the help.We may let the student

list the food they like to let the canteen to make it.

I hope more and more

student will like our canteen service.

Yours，

高考英语作文中经常会出现写信的题材，下面语文迷网为大家整理了一些技巧，供大家阅读。

一、题型特点

改写： 通常情况下，改写类的写作命题可要求考生将一篇对话、留言、信件、电话记录或其他类型的语言材料改写成一篇短文。也有的试题要求考生能够根据所给的提示(汉语或英语)写一篇对话。这类试题大多要求考生将试题所提供的语言材料的主要内容，以记叙文的形式表达出来。试题可以规定考生以第几人称的形式来叙述这件事情，并且规定了一定的词数。

缩写： 这类命题通常要求学生将一篇较长的文章，缩写成一篇短文。这类命题通常要求学生把握原文中的主要内容，并且用自己的语言将其叙述出来。这类试题一般都会规定词数的范围。

续写： 这类试题通常给出了一件事情或一个故事的开头，要求考生根据自己的想象，将这件事情或故事写完整，使其结构完整，情节的发展自然合理。

扩写： 扩写实际上是改写的一个方面。这类命题要求考生能够依据所给定的较为简短的语言材料，扩写成为一篇符合字数要求的文章。这类试题一般来讲也对文章的字数或其它的方面作出了要求。

回信： 这类试题所提供的材料通常是英语信件的形式，要求考生能够根据所给信件的内容及回信中必须包含的要点写一封回信。

二、 写作 技巧

1. 认真审题，把握要求。 在审题的过程中，应注意把握试题所提供的条件、要求(通常以文字的形式出现)、体裁、词数、人称形式等。

2. 细读材料，把握中心。 一般说来，所给出的试题材料都是围绕一个中心展开的。它讲述的通常是一个小故事或小事件。这个小故事或小事件就是这我们所要表述的中心。

3. 初步构思，考虑用词。 在把所握文章的中心后，形成一个基本的框架，再考虑使用恰当的词语，包括恰当的短语和句型，以充分地表达文章的内容。在用词方面，应尽可能地充分利用所学的短语或句型，还应注意适当使用高级词汇、复杂的结构等，这在近年的高考阅卷过程中反复强调了这一点。

4. 联词成句，组段成文。 运用适当的单词或短语正确表达文章中各个要点。然后使用正确的过渡词将单个的句子来连接起来。连接时，要注意使用适当的连接词语或过渡性语句，以使语句间的联系更为紧密，过渡更加自然。

英文书信一般由六部分组成。即：信头(Heading)、信内地址(Inside Address)，

称呼(Salutation)，正文(Body of Letter)、结束语(Complimentary Close)、署名Signature，

有时在书信后面还有附言(Postscript)、附件(Enclosure)，这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。

1. 信头(Heading)

信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期， 一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，

而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如：

英式：1st October，1999

美式：October 1，1999

在使用前一种形式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在后一种形式中，必需要使用逗号。

信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母;齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示：

缩进式 Wang Ming

Dept. of Chemical Engineering

Dalian University of Technology

Dalian 116023

Liaoning Province

P. R. China

齐头式

Wang Ming

Dept. of Chemical Engineering

Dalian University of Technology

Dalian 116023

Liaoning Province

P. R. China

2. 信内地址 (Inside Address)

信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如：

缩进式

The President

Oxford University

England

齐头式

Jiang Bin

64Heping Road

P.R.China

3. 称呼(Salutation)

称呼是对收信人的称谓。在信内地址下一两行处顶格写起，自成一行。末尾用逗号或冒号。

当给一位熟悉的人写信时可以用Dear 或是My Dear。在英国，My Dear 比Dear亲切，而在美国，Dear比My Dear 亲切。

当给一位你不知婚否的女性写信时，可以用Ms.……，这是指"……女士"。

在给不熟悉的人写信时，可以用Dear sir, Dear Madam, Dear sirs, Gentleman 等等。

4. 正文(Body of Letter)

正文是一封信的主体部分。通常在称呼的下一行写出。正文也可采用齐头式或缩进式的方法。齐头式是反映每段开头一行和后面行并齐。缩进式是指每段的第一行向右缩进几个字母。信笺讲究简洁、效率。开头几句简单地寒暄后就不如正题，在结尾处要有祝愿和敬语。

常用的开头语有：

I have received your letter of July Ist. 7月1 日来信已经收悉。

I have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高兴告诉你……。

I am very much delighted to receive your letter. 非常高兴收到你的来信。

It is my honor to inform you that ……很荣幸告诉你……。

常用的结束套话有：

I am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。

Wish best regards. 祝好。

Thank you for your help 感谢你的帮助!

Wish my best wishes for your success. 祝你成功。

Wishing you a happy holiday. 祝假日愉快!

Hoping to hear from you soon. 希望能尽快收到你的回信。

5. 结束语(Complimentary Close)

结束语在正文之后隔一两行的偏右方开始写出。开头字母用大写，以后的字母用小写，最后一个词后面用逗句。

6. 署名(Signature)

在结束语的下方是签名，先手写出，再打出来。如果收信人不认识写出信人，可以在署名前用括号标出Mr.、Miss或Ms。在名称下面可注上头衔。如：

Yours sincerely,

Lucy Blake (手写)

Lucy Blake (Miss)(打印)

Sales Manager

7. 附言(Postscript),附件(Enclosure)

在信件正文写作时可能漏掉了某些事，或临时发生了某事需要补充时，可以在信下面左下方写出上P.S.

如果随信有附件可在爱左下端注明。如：

Enclosure:Invoice(发票)

Resume(个人简历)

Dear President:

I am Wang Fei,a second year student in the Education Department of OUF

university.Im writing to inform you of the true conditions of our canteen

service.

I dont know how to begin my account because the service is really

bad.Please read my letter patiently and do something about it.We would be

grateful for whatever you do for us students.

Firstly,the quality of the food is bad.For instance,the rice is too

hard.Whats more,some dishes are not fresh sometimes.As a matter of fact,the

poor food has already caused some stomach problems among the students.

Secondly,the service is not good enough.Some staff members give us short

measure when they are in a bad mood.Now and then they behave like

robbers,robbing you of your appetite.Worst of alit they never smile.

Thirdly,the price is too high.A small cake made from rice and dates cost as

much as 0.6 yuan!It will cost us a good 6 yuan to fill our stomach with such

cakes.After all we are poor students.

I wish my opinion would call your attention to the canteen service on

campus.We are badly in need of your help.

Looking forward to an early reply.

Yours,

英语写作中我们经常会遇到写信的情况。下面来看看小编为你整理的写作指导吧，希望对你写信有帮助。

一、写作指导

书信种类很多，它包括笔友信、感谢信、慰问(候)信，祝贺信、鼓励信、介绍信、自荐信、询问信、应聘信、联系信、求职信及求职信的答复信，邀请信及其接受邀请的信，读者请求的解答信及其答复读者的信等。

总的说来，写英语书信时有以下几点需注意：

(1) 地址的书写与中文相反，须从小到大写。

(2) 日期写法与中文不同，它应写在信纸右上方寄信人地址下面，不可写在写信人签名之后。

(3) 正式书信中，收信人的姓名和地址应写在信纸左上方，并低于写信人地址一行。

(4) 称呼通常用Dear…，关系亲密的可写 My dear…，之后要加逗号，而不用冒号。

(5) 结尾和称呼一致，熟人间写Yours ever, 致长者时写Yours respectfully，一般情况写Yours truly，Yours sincerely 等，其中Your sincerely 最为保险，但不管哪一种，结尾客套语中不可遗漏 Yours，最后还有签名。

二、实例与范文

1.表示欢迎

2.提出对度假安排的建议

3.提醒应注意的事项

A letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also, as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying
