英语写作：写英文邮件的一点常识

无论在申请过程和小米们(Admission officer)的勾肩搭背，还是正式入学之后和tutor的邮件往来中，关于Formal letter和informal letter是国内中学英语教育很少去提及的部分，英语老师也很少会讲这个点，这里我只是说下这两种英文邮件的'区别，起码大家格调定好了再写Email的时候不会给人无礼或不懂规矩的感觉。

　　一rmal letter（非正式信函）:

nning(开头):

Dear + first name

ndly greeting(寒暄):

I hope this letter finds you well.

ractions(写缩写):

I'm, didn't, couldn't, there's...

tions(丢出问题):

Do you remember...? Why don't you...?

amation(感叹):

ier than I thought it was!

ing(连接词可以口语化):

Well, Anyway, so, and

ses(短语可以口语化):

had a great time, couldn't have asked for, working flat out, back to normal

ng(结尾):

Hope to see you soon + first name

　　二al letter(正式信函):

nning(开头):

Dear Sir or Madam

greeting necessary(不用寒暄)

contractions(不准用缩写):

I am, did not...

ally avoid direct questions(问问题要客气):

"I would like" instead of "Can I have?"

exclamation marks( 不要用惊叹号)

ing(连接词不要口语化):

However, Consequently, and, also

ses and vocabulary(用词稍高级):

with regard to, appliance, it was installed, the following day, failed to (meaning "didn't"), procedure, he assured me, report the issue, contacted, under warranty, I am entitled to, replacement, phone me personally

ng(结尾):

I await your prompt response,

Yours faithfully + full name

从上面可以看出来，大家申请过程中肯定基本都是写Formal letter的，所以用词需要规矩一些，和tutor的话，看亲密程度，熟悉的可以用informal letter，不熟悉的还是用formal letter以示对老师尊重。
