距離最后的考試只有近兩個月的時間,最后的沖刺序幕正式拉開。英語復(fù)習(xí)到這個階段,最重要的就是作文。要想在最后的考試成績中脫穎而出,現(xiàn)階段就必須要把精力放在分值占在30分的寫作上。
考研英語中大作文的要求是內(nèi)容切題、表達(dá)清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語言規(guī)范。小作文考察點(diǎn)在信息點(diǎn)的覆蓋、語言的準(zhǔn)確性、文章組織的連貫性上。
其中小作文占10分,分為求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請信、辭職信等等二十多種應(yīng)用文。每個類別都有相對固定的語言模式,都有固定詞語要求。
邀請信是為了增進(jìn)友誼,發(fā)展業(yè)務(wù),邀請客人參加慶典、會議及各種活動的信函。邀請信分為兩種:一種屬于個人信函,例如邀請某人共進(jìn)晚餐、參加宴會、觀看電影、出席典禮等。另一種屬于事物信函,一般是邀請參加會議、學(xué)術(shù)活動等等。
格式:1、稱謂;2、開頭:向被邀請人簡單問候;3、交代時間、地點(diǎn)和活動內(nèi)容、邀請?jiān)虻?4、參加活動的細(xì)節(jié)安排;5、聯(lián)系人、電話、地址、落款、日期。
寫作“三步走”:
邀請對方參加的活動的內(nèi)容、時間和地點(diǎn)→與該活動有關(guān)的注意事項(xiàng)→期待對方接受邀請,并可表示感謝。
注意:
語言上寫給朋友,可選用活潑、真誠的言辭;寫給長輩、上級、名人等,語言則應(yīng)正式、禮貌。
