写作手法
From:Wang Ying〈wangying@***.com〉
To:Fang Lan〈fanglan@***.com〉(写给谁)
Subject:Hello from an old friend(主题)
Hi Fang Lan,
How's your life in Canada?I hope you have adapted well to the new situation and are enjoying your new school(目的).
I love my new senior secondary school.It's much bigger than my junior secondary school and there's a huge gym! Do you remember Xie Zijun? Guess what — we are in the same school! It's always good to have a friend,right?Life in senior secondary school is very different from junior secondary school! You know, we don't have a fixed classroom! We go to different classes for different subjects and also for different levels.I'm in the same class with Zijun for English and physics but in different classes for Chinese and maths.We also have many different clubs after class.You know, I like dancing,so I'm in the Dancing Club.At the moment,we meet twice a week and we're preparing to attend a competition.I think my new school gives me a chance to become a different person and I like the “new me”(介绍详情).
Well, I must go now.I've got a presentation tomorrow and I need to finish my slides.I look forward to hearing all about what's happening with you soon(盼回复).
All the best!
Wang Ying
[文章结构]
1.电子邮件是通过互联网传递的邮件,主要由主题、称谓、正文、结尾语和署名等要素构成。
2.与传统信件相比,电子邮件具有格式简约化、内容个性化、表达口语化等特点。
3.虽然电子邮件的表达要直接,但对重点部分仍要作详细介绍。像考试中就必须根据提示,将要点写全,并注意语言的运用。
[相关词句]
1.精彩开头
表示高兴:I was so glad/pleased/happy to receive your email dated May 1st.
表示感谢:Thank you for your wonderful gift/interesting email.
表示关心与询问:How are you these days? /How are you getting on these days? /How are you getting on with your work/studies?
表示抱歉:I am sorry that I did not reply soon but I have been very busy these days.
表示遗憾:I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the examination./I am so upset to hear that you are ill these days.
2.余味结尾
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Please give my regards to your family.
Take good care of you and keep in touch.
注意事项:
1.各要点之间需要使用First...,Second...,Third...或First of all...,Next...,Third...,Then...,Finally...来表示顺序结构,不要使用阿拉伯数字。常用连接词还有:
Firstly,I would like to...
Secondly,could you...?
Thirdly,I would be...
Finally,I would like to...
In addition to that,could you...?
Another query I have is about...
Something else I would like to ask about is...
2.要有过渡词句。由于平行的信息较多,所以除了上面的排序法以外,还应多使用一些衔接词或短语,表示递进关系:then,besides,moreover,in addition (to),what's more,what's worse,similarly,in the same way...;表示转折关系:but,yet,however,still,though,otherwise,despite,regardless of,in spite of...。
3.句式要多样化。在文章中恰当地使用一些复合句、并列句、倒装句、虚拟语气、强调句型和非谓语等来调节文章的节奏。
4.一般要求在结尾对文章进行总结,可使用in a word,in short,briefly,generally speaking,finally,at last等总结性的词或短语。
5.写完后,一定要通读全文,并进行“四问”:
(1)是否遗漏了要点?
(2)语句是否正确通顺?
(3)每段是否围绕中心展开?有没有中心句?结构安排是否合理?
(4)有没有过渡不太自然的地方?能否在此添加过渡词句?

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I'm very happy to hear that you are learning Chinese.And I really understand that you are finding Chinese quite challenging to learn.It's okay for beginners to meet some troubles.Here are some advice I'd like to give you.
First,I suggest you focus on mastering the basics,such as pinyin and commonly used phrases.This will help you build a strong foundation for further learning.Another suggestion is to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible.Watch Chinese movies or TV shows,listen to Chinese music,and try to communicate with native speakers.This will not only improve your listening and speaking skills but also give you a better understanding of Chinese culture.
Remember,learning a new language takes time and effort.I wish you all the best in your Chinese learning journey.
Yours,
Li Hua
