投诉信属高考英语应用文的“书信体·问题解决类”文种,考的不是文采,而是能否把一件事说清楚、把诉求提明白。其命题特点可概括为六点。
(一)情境真实,身份明确
题目给出具体情境:在哪个网店买了什么、住了哪家酒店,并指定收信人——网店客服或酒店经理。学生须以消费者身份写信,语气是“受了委屈但保持体面”。身份一旦错位,如写成商家道歉信,内容分会被直接压低。
(二)要点提纲化,按点给分
题干多以三到四条中文提纲列任务:说明问题、陈述经过与影响、提出要求。评分按要点覆盖定档,漏一条即掉一档。因此“逐点落笔、一点一句”比写得漂亮更有效,提纲外的发挥只能加分,不能替分。
(三)语域要求“礼貌而坚定”
投诉信是“有分寸的抗争”:既不能辱骂、威胁、情绪化,也不能软弱到只写 I hope。高分文的共性是:用 complain about 点题,用 I would appreciate it if you could 提要求,用 Yours sincerely 收束,全程以 would、could 装进礼貌外壳。
(四)篇幅稳定在 80—100 词
字数空间只有 80—100 词,结构必须经济:三段、六到九句,一句一个功能,节奏是首段两句、中段三到四句、末段两三句。太长会挤占要点,太短则论证不足。
(五)时态与人称相对固定
陈述已发生的事实用过去时(I bought it last week),陈述现状与诉求用现在时(It still does not work),表示“至今未解决”用现在完成时(I have called three times)。人称以第一人称单数为主,指称商家用 your company。
company。
(六)评分四维一体
阅卷按要点、词汇语法、篇章衔接、格式语域四维定档:要点全但语法漏洞多,上不了高档;语言漂亮却漏掉“提要求”,同样掉档。这也解释了模板为何有效——它同时兜住结构、衔接与格式三项。
据此,正确路径是:先把“三段九句”骨架固化成肌肉记忆,再把词汇、句型、模板、避错、演练逐层嵌进骨架。骨架不稳,背再多高级词也只是散件。
表2 投诉信六要素与应对总览
命题要素
题目里的常见说法
考生要做的事
失分高发点
写信目的
“写一封投诉信”“表达你的不满”
首句点明 complain about + 对象
只描述不点题,首段读不出“投诉”
交易背景
“上周在某网店购买”“暑假参加了某旅行团”
时间 + 渠道 + 商品/服务,一句话交代
背景写成三段故事,浪费字数
核心问题
“发现……存在问题”“实际情况与宣传不符”
用名词和动词写具体缺陷
只写 very bad、not good 等空泛评价
影响后果
“给你带来不便”“影响了你的计划”
落到具体损失:误了面试、多花了钱
只说 inconvenient,缺事实支撑
诉求期限
“要求退款/换货”“希望尽快处理”
一个主诉求 + 一个期限 + 一句期待回复
没有明确诉求,第三段空转
语域身份
“假定你是李华”“写给客服/经理”
礼貌而坚定,称呼与落款配套
语气过激或过软,称呼落款不匹配
投诉信的正文只有三段,但三段职能完全不同:第一段“立事”,第二段“举证”,第三段“要账”。下面按“功能—句数—句型骨架—可替换词块—示范”五层拆开,每一层都可以直接搬到考场上。
【第一段:开门见山,立住“投诉谁、为什么”】
表3 第一段五层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
用两句话完成三件事:点明写信目的(投诉)、交代交易背景(何时何地买了什么)、亮出核心问题。这一段不许出现背景铺陈和情绪宣泄,阅卷老师在前两句就要知道你在投诉什么。
句数控制
两句,最多三句。第一句点题,第二句交代事实。
句型骨架
① I am writing to complain about + 名词(the poor quality of… / the delay in… / the service I received…)。② 背景句用 On 5 May I ordered… from your…, but… 或 Much to my disappointment, the… I bought… turned out to be…。
可替换词块
点题动词:complain about / express my dissatisfaction with / draw your attention to / report a problem with。背景名词:online store、local branch、travel agency、training centre、front desk。问题形容词:poor quality、faulty、damaged、far from satisfactory、contrary to your advertisement。
示范
I am writing to complain about the headphones I ordered from your online store last week. Much to my disappointment, the product I received was not what your advertisement had promised.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【第二段:分项举证,把事情说“看得见”】
表4 第二段五层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
全信的重心。要用具体细节把问题“演”给阅卷人看:坏在哪、怎么坏的、我为此付出了什么代价。这一段决定内容分的上限。
句数控制
三到四句,每句一个信息点,按“问题一 → 问题二(递进)→ 经过(我做了什么)→ 影响(我损失了什么)”推进。
句型骨架
① 问题句:The moment I opened the package, I found that… / On arrival, we were told that…。② 递进句:To make matters worse, … / What is worse, …。③ 经过句:I have called your hotline three times, but each time…。④ 影响句:It has caused me great inconvenience, for I had to… / As a result, I missed…。
可替换词块
细节证据:cracked screen、missing charger、stained sheets、cold food、wrong size、three days late。经过动词:called、wrote、waited、asked for、was told、was refused。影响表达:cause me great inconvenience、spoil my holiday、cost me an extra 300 yuan、affect my normal life、interfere with my work。
示范
The moment I opened the package, I found that the left earphone made no sound at all. To make matters worse, the charging cable was missing. I wrote to your service centre twice, but up to now I have received nothing except an automatic reply.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【第三段:明确诉求,给出期限与后果】
表5 第三段四层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
把“我不满意”升级为“我要什么”。这一段必须可执行:诉求具体、期限明确、后果克制。缺了诉求句,前面的举证全部落空。
句数控制
两句到三句:一句诉求,一句期限或方式,一句期待回复(可选加一句后果)。
句型骨架
① 诉求句:I would therefore like a full refund / a replacement of the same model / a free repair。② 期限句:I would appreciate it if you could arrange this within seven days。③ 后果句(慎用):Otherwise, I shall have no choice but to report the matter to the consumer association。④ 收束句:I look forward to your early reply. / Your prompt attention would be greatly appreciated.
可替换词块
诉求:full refund、replacement、free repair、apology and compensation、a written explanation。期限:within three days、by Friday、as soon as possible、at your earliest convenience。后果:take legal action、complain to the authorities、turn to the consumer association、leave a public review。
示范
I would therefore like a full refund of the 399 yuan I paid. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this matter within seven days, or I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association. I look forward to your early reply.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【最后必须注意的六件事】
骨架搭好之后,决定分数的是下面六条细节。它们看似琐碎,却是二档与三档之间最常见的分界线。
1. 别把“背景”写成“故事”:第一段只需“何时、何地、买了什么”,不需要写“那天天气很好,我满怀期待地打开了包裹”。情境描写在投诉信里是无效字数。
2. 证据要“可核对”,不要“形容词堆砌”:写 the screen was cracked and the charger was missing,比写 the quality was very very bad 有力十倍。能用名词和动词说清的,就不要用形容词。
3. 影响要落到“我”身上:caused me great inconvenience 太虚,加上 for I had to cancel two meetings to wait for the repairman 就实了。一句具体损失胜过三句抱怨。
4. 诉求只能有一个主诉求:退款、换货、维修三选一作为主诉求,其余可作备选(or a replacement of the same model)。同时提三条要求,评卷人无法判断你的重点。
5. 后果句要有“台阶”:先用礼貌请求,再用 otherwise 提出升级措施,且升级措施止于“向消费者协会投诉、依法维权”,不写“告到你破产”“让全网都来骂你”。
6. 全程不出现辱骂与感叹号:never、terrible、cheat、rubbish 这类词要克制;一句话最多一个感叹号,正式的投诉信通常一个也不用。
【满分词汇模板】
本部分共 500 个单词与 300 个短语,全部按“英文—中文一对一”编排,一个英文只给一个最贴切的汉语义项,避免多义干扰记忆。单词按十个场景类目各 50 个排列,短语按十个语篇功能各 30 条排列,可以直接按类目安排背诵计划:每天一类,二十天完成一轮。
使用建议:单词先求“认得、会拼”,短语先求“会套”。背短语时不要孤立记,而要连同它在句子里的位置一起记——例如 I would appreciate it if you could 后面必须接从句,To make matters worse 后面必须接一个更糟的事实。

一、万能三段模板(100 词骨架)
模板正文如下。加方括号的部分是槽位,按题目替换;其余句子可原样照抄,不必改动。
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about 【投诉对象:the faulty laptop / the poor service / the delayed delivery】, which I 【交易动作:bought / ordered / booked】 from 【渠道:your online store / your hotel / your agency】 on 【时间:5 May】.
The problem is that 【核心问题:the screen was cracked / the room was dirty / the tour was cut short】. To make matters worse, 【递进细节:the charger was missing / nobody answered my calls / we were charged extra】. I 【经过:have called your hotline three times】, but 【结果:up to now I have received no reply】. As a result, 【影响:I had to cancel two meetings / my holiday was completely spoiled】.
I would therefore like 【诉求:a full refund / a replacement of the same model / a free repair】. I would appreciate it if you could 【具体动作:arrange this / look into the matter】 within 【期限:seven days】. 【可选后果句:Otherwise, I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association.】
【证据句:I have enclosed copies of the receipt and the photos for your reference.】 I look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
槽位的取舍规则:时间、渠道、商品名必须换成题目给的;问题与影响必须换成题目情境;诉求可以从“退款、换货、维修、道歉赔偿”中选一个作主诉求;证据句与后果句属于加分项,字数紧张时可删,但至少要留下诉求句与期限句。

【模板示例】
下面用第六部分的模板,套写一封完整的投诉信。题目情境:你上周在某网店购买一副无线耳机,收到后发现右耳无声、充电线缺失,联系客服两次未获实质回复,要求写一封 100 词左右的投诉信。全文 108 词,每一句都来自模板骨架,槽位替换处在批注中标出。
一、完整范文(108 词)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the wireless headphones I ordered from your online store on 5 May. Much to my disappointment, the product I received was not what your advertisement had promised.
The moment I opened the package, I found that the right earphone made no sound at all. To make matters worse, the charging cable was missing. I have written to your service centre twice, but up to now I have received nothing except an automatic reply. As a result, I have had to use my old headphones and missed two online meetings.
I would therefore like a full refund of the 399 yuan I paid. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this matter within seven days, or I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association.
I have enclosed copies of the receipt and two photos of the earphone for your reference. I look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

落款
Yours sincerely 用于知姓名;不知姓名用 Yours faithfully;署名统一写 Li Hua。
对照批注可以发现:全信十三行,其中固定骨架句只有六句,其余七句都是槽位替换。也就是说,考场上真正需要“自己写”的内容,只有“问题、细节、经过、影响、诉求、期限”六处,每处一句,全部可以用第三、四部分的词句拼装。
技巧的价值在于可操作。下面六类技巧,每一类都给出具体动作,可以直接在草稿纸上执行,而不是“多读多写”式的泛泛建议。
(一)审题三步:划身份、圈要点、定诉求
第一步:划身份:在题干上圈出“你是谁、写给谁、什么关系”。消费者写给商家用 complaint;旅客写给酒店用 dissatisfied guest;读者写给报社编辑用 letter to the editor,语气可以更公共化。
第二步:圈要点:把提纲逐条编号,写完一句划掉一条。要点通常藏在“说明情况”“提出要求”“表达期望”三类动词后面,漏掉的那条往往就是失分点。
第三步:定诉求:先决定主诉求(refund / replacement / repair / apology and compensation),再决定期限与升级措施。诉求定了,第三段才有落点。
(二)要点分配:一句一点,不重复不遗漏
一条要点一句话:不要用两句说同一件事,也不要把两条要点塞进一句长句。评卷是“扫点”,句界清晰最省对方力气。
先实后虚:具体事实(坏了什么、损失多少)放前面,笼统评价(very disappointed)放后面或不写。
宁可少一个形容词,不可少一个要点:字数紧张时,砍修饰语,不砍要点句。
(三)语域控制:把强硬装进礼貌
三换:换情态动词(will→would、can→could)、换句式(祈使句→I would appreciate it if…)、换词(angry→dissatisfied、cheat→fail to keep your promise)。
两不:不用辱骂词,不用连续感叹号。
一句台阶:所有施压句后面跟一个“仍然希望友好解决”的软句:I would rather settle this matter in a friendly way。
(四)衔接手段:让八句话像一篇文章
时间链:on 5 May → the moment → up to now → within seven days,一条时间线贯穿全信。
逻辑链:The problem is that… → To make matters worse… → As a result… → I would therefore…,四个连接词撑起整篇。
指代链:the product / it / this matter 交替使用,避免三次重复同一名词。
(五)扩写与压缩:一个字数的双向操作
扩写三招:加细节(cracked screen)、加经过(called twice)、加影响(missed two meetings)。每一招都能安全增加约 10 词,且都是得分点。
压缩三招:删评价(very very bad)、并短句(两个简单句并为并列句)、去重复(第二段说过的诉求不在第三段复述)。
目标区间:写完后数字数,落在 90—105 词最安全;超出 110 词,优先删形容词和重复主语。
(六)交卷前六十秒自检
四点快查:① 三类要点是否各有一句;② 时态是否“过去叙事、现在诉求”;③ 是否有一处委婉请求句;④ 称呼与落款是否配套(Sir or Madam 配 Yours faithfully;Mr. Smith 配 Yours sincerely)。
三个高危错:complain about 漏介词、look forward to 后接动词原形、would appreciate 漏 it。这三个错在阅卷中出现率最高。
一处加分:结尾前加一句证据句(I have enclosed…),几乎零风险,直接体现“投诉有据”。
把六类技巧压成一张自检表,交卷前逐行打钩。六项全过,这篇投诉信基本就在二档以上;有两项不过,先改这两项再谈文采。

本部分提供十五道投诉信写作题,覆盖网购、住宿、餐饮、旅行、快递、数码、家电、家具、健身、培训、航空、校园、演出票务等高频情境,每题配一篇 150 词左右的参考答案。
训练建议:每题限时 15 分钟、100 词为下限、不查词典;写完后先按第八部分自检表自查,再对照参考答案,只比较“要点是否齐全、诉求是否明确、语域是否得体”三项,不必逐字比对用词。参考答案按 150 词写作,篇幅略长于考场要求,目的是多给可替换的表达,考场可自行压缩到 100 词左右。
题目1|网购教辅破损

参考范文(159 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the set of reference books I ordered from your online bookstore on 2 April. Much to my disappointment, the parcel I received was far from satisfactory.
The moment I opened the box, I found that the cover of the first book was badly torn and that twelve pages in the middle were missing. To make matters worse, the other two books were printed so faintly that some exercises can hardly be read. I wrote to your service centre twice, but have received no reply. As a result, my revision has been held up for a week, and I had to borrow notes from classmates.
I would therefore like either a replacement of the complete set or a full refund of the 168 yuan I paid. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this within five days. I look forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

参考范文(157 词):
Dear Manager,
I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the service I received at your hotel last weekend. I had booked a double room for two nights, but my stay was far from satisfactory.
On arrival, we were told that the room we had booked had been given to another guest, and we had to wait nearly an hour at the front desk. When we finally entered the room, we found a large stain on the carpet and the air conditioner blowing warm air only. I reported the problem to the front desk twice, yet nobody came to check it. As a result, we spent a sleepless night in a hot room, and our trip was completely spoiled.
I would therefore like a formal apology and a partial refund of the room rate. I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and reply to me within seven days.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

参考范文(149 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the meal I had at your restaurant last Saturday evening. As a regular customer, I was deeply disappointed by what happened that night.
To begin with, the fish we ordered tasted stale and the soup was almost cold. Besides, we waited over forty minutes before the main dishes were served, although the restaurant was half empty. What is most annoying is that the bill charged us 68 yuan more than the total on the menu. When I pointed this out, the waiter simply said the computer could not be wrong.
I would therefore like a refund of the extra 68 yuan together with a sincere apology. I would also suggest that you check your kitchen and your billing system, or more customers will be driven away. I look forward to your reply within three days.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

参考范文(151 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the five-day tour I booked through your agency last summer. Contrary to what your advertisement promised, the tour turned out to be a great disappointment.
According to the itinerary, we were to visit five attractions, but the guide took us to only two of them. What is worse, he led the group into two shops and kept us there for over two hours each time, which was never mentioned in the contract. As a result, we missed the museum we had most wanted to see, and we had to pay extra for taxis to get back to the hotel.
I would therefore like a partial refund of the tour fee, as the service I received was clearly below the standard you promised. I would appreciate it if you could give me a written explanation within a week.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the delivery of my parcel, whose tracking number is SF12345678. I sent it on 1 May, and it should have reached my friend in Taiyuan three days later.
However, the parcel arrived a week late, and the outer carton was so badly crushed that it had clearly been thrown about. When my friend opened it, she found the cup inside broken into pieces. I called your hotline three times, but each time I was told to wait for a reply that never came. As a result, the birthday gift I had prepared for months was ruined, and I felt deeply embarrassed.
I would therefore like compensation for the damage and a refund of the delivery fee. I have kept the delivery receipt as evidence. Please look into this matter and let me know your decision within seven days.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

参考范文(148 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the battery problem of the smartphone I bought from your official store three months ago. The phone has caused me a lot of trouble ever since.
After only one month of normal use, the battery runs out in about two hours, and the phone shuts down by itself even when the battery shows thirty percent. I visited your service centre twice, but your staff kept telling me that this was “normal” and refused to run any test. To make matters worse, no loan phone was offered, so I was cut off from my teachers and classmates for a whole week.
I would therefore like a free battery test and a replacement of the battery, as your one-year warranty clearly covers such faults. I would appreciate it if you could arrange this within five days.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
题目7|洗衣机噪音与漏水
题目:假定你是李华,上月在某家电商场购买一台洗衣机,使用一周后出现剧烈噪音和底部漏水,两次报修均未上门。请给商场售后部门写投诉信:1. 购买与故障情况;2. 报修经过与损失;3. 要求三天内上门维修或换机。
参考范文(150 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the washing machine I bought from your store last month. After only a week of use, it began to make a loud noise and to leak water from the bottom.
I reported the fault to your after-sales department on 8 May and again on 12 May. Each time I was promised that a repairman would come within two days, but nobody has turned up so far. As a result, I have been washing clothes by hand for two weeks, and the leaking water has damaged the floor of my kitchen.
According to your own warranty, any fault within thirty days should be repaired free of charge. I would therefore like a repairman to come to my home within three days, or a replacement if the machine cannot be fixed. I look forward to your prompt reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
题目8|家具颜色尺寸不符
题目:假定你是李华,在某家具店订购一套沙发,送货后发现颜色与网图不符、宽度超出十厘米,无法放进客厅。请给家具店负责人写投诉信:1. 订单信息与问题;2. 两次送货的经过;3. 要求退货退款。
参考范文(155 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the sofa I ordered from your furniture store on 15 April. Unfortunately, what was delivered to me was not what I had paid for.
The colour of the sofa differs greatly from the picture on your website, and it is ten centimetres wider than the size I ordered, so it simply cannot fit into my living room. I contacted your delivery team at once, and a second sofa was sent on 20 April, but it had exactly the same problem. Twice your staff told me that a small difference was “normal”, which I find hard to accept.
I would therefore like to return the sofa and receive a full refund of the 3,600 yuan I paid. I have kept all the delivery notes and photos of the sofa. I would appreciate it if you could arrange the collection within a week.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
题目9|健身房私教课缩水

参考范文(146 词):
Dear Manager,
I am writing to complain about the personal training course I purchased at your fitness centre at the beginning of this year. So far the service has fallen far short of what your sales staff promised.
I paid 4,000 yuan for twenty sessions, yet my coach has been changed three times without notice, and six sessions were cancelled at the last minute. Each time I asked for a make-up class, I was told that the timetable was full. Last week I requested a refund for the sessions I have not attended, but your manager refused, saying that the money could not be returned.
Since the contract states that unused sessions may be refunded, I would like the fees for the remaining eight sessions returned within ten days. Otherwise, I shall have no choice but to complain to the consumer association.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
题目10|培训课程与承诺不符
题目:假定你是李华,报名某英语培训机构的雅思课程,开课后发现外教每月更换、每节课由 90 分钟缩为 60 分钟。请给机构负责人写投诉信:1. 报名与承诺;2. 实际情况;3. 要求退还差价或全额退费。
参考范文(147 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the IELTS course I signed up for at your training centre in March. The course I received is quite different from what your advertisement promised.
When I enrolled, your consultant assured me that the course would be taught by one experienced foreign teacher and that each lesson would last ninety minutes. In fact, the teacher has been changed every month, and each lesson now ends after sixty minutes. What is worse, three of the eight students in my class have already left for the same reason, which shows that this is not an individual case.
I would therefore like either a refund of the difference in fees or a full refund, since the service does not match the terms in our agreement. I would appreciate it if you could reply within a week.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
题目11|航班取消与行李延误
题目:假定你是李华,乘坐某航空公司航班时被告知航班临时取消且无人通知,改签后行李又延误两天才到。请给航空公司客服写投诉信:1. 航班与行李情况;2. 造成的影响;3. 要求赔偿与书面解释。
参考范文(145 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the cancellation of my flight CA1234 on 6 July and the delay of my luggage afterwards.
I arrived at the airport two hours early, only to be told at the counter that the flight had been cancelled, although I had received no message or email. I was rebooked onto a flight eight hours later, so the whole journey took fifteen hours instead of four, and I missed an important meeting in Shanghai. To make matters worse, my suitcase did not arrive with me and was delivered to my hotel two days later, with the lock broken.
I would therefore like compensation for the delay and the damaged luggage, as well as a written explanation of why I was not informed in advance. I look forward to your reply within ten days.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

参考范文(150 词):
Dear Sir,
I am writing on behalf of the Students' Union to complain about the food service in our school dining hall. Many students have reported problems that have seriously affected our daily life.
To begin with, prices have risen by nearly twenty percent this term while the portions have become noticeably smaller. Besides, several students found stains on the bowls last week, and two of them had stomach trouble afterwards. What worries us most is that the queue now takes over twenty minutes, so many of us skip lunch and go to class hungry. Over fifty students have complained about it in our class group.
We would therefore like the canteen to return to its former prices and portions, and to improve its cleaning procedures. We would appreciate it if you could look into this matter within a week and let us know your decision.
Yours sincerely,

题目:假定你是李华,近期宿舍校园网每晚频繁断线,影响网课与资料查阅,报修后仅被告知“重启路由器”。请给学校网络服务中心写投诉信:1. 断线情况;2. 报修经过与影响;3. 要求彻底检修。
参考范文(150 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the campus network in our dormitory building, which has broken down repeatedly over the past two weeks.
Every evening between eight and eleven, the connection drops at least five times, and each time it takes about ten minutes to recover. Since most of our online courses and reading tasks are done at night, this has caused us great inconvenience. I reported the problem twice and was simply told to restart the router, which solved nothing at all. Three neighbours have reported the same trouble, so it is clearly not my own computer.
I would therefore like your staff to check the equipment in Building 5 and to replace it if necessary. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this matter within three days, or we shall have to raise it with the school authorities.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
题目14|网购球鞋疑似假货
题目:假定你是李华,在某电商店铺购买一双品牌篮球鞋,收货后发现鞋标模糊、走线粗糙,经专柜比对确认非正品,商家拒绝退款。请给店铺客服写投诉信:1. 购买与鉴定情况;2. 商家处理态度;3. 要求退款并说明将进一步维权。
参考范文(152 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the basketball shoes I bought from your online shop on 8 June. I have good reason to believe that the pair I received is not genuine.
The logo on the shoes is blurred, the stitching is rough, and the size label does not match the official format. I took the shoes to the brand's counter, where the staff confirmed that they were not authentic. When I asked for a refund, your customer service insisted that the shoes were “original” and refused to accept any evidence.
I have kept the receipt and photos of the shoes. I would therefore like a full refund of the 899 yuan I paid, and I expect a written reply within three days. Otherwise, I shall report the matter to the platform and the consumer association, as selling counterfeit goods is against the law.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
题目15|线上购票座位不符
题目:假定你是李华,在某平台购买两张演唱会门票,付款后出票座位与所选区域不符且相隔很远,客服称“系统随机出票”。请给平台客服写投诉信:1. 订单与座位问题;2. 客服回复与影响;3. 要求退票或调换座位。
参考范文(154 词):
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the concert tickets I purchased on your platform on 20 May. The seats I received are not what I chose when I paid.
I selected two seats in Block A, side by side, and paid 1,200 yuan for them. However, the tickets issued to me are in Block C, more than thirty rows apart. When I contacted your customer service, I was told that the system issues tickets randomly and that nothing could be changed. As a result, my sister and I, who had been looking forward to this concert for months, will have to sit separately.
I have kept the screenshot of my seat selection as evidence. I would therefore like either a change to the seats I selected or a full refund. I would appreciate it if you could settle this matter before the concert on 15 June.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

投诉信属高考英语应用文的“书信体·问题解决类”文种,考的不是文采,而是能否把一件事说清楚、把诉求提明白。其命题特点可概括为六点。
(一)情境真实,身份明确
题目给出具体情境:在哪个网店买了什么、住了哪家酒店,并指定收信人——网店客服或酒店经理。学生须以消费者身份写信,语气是“受了委屈但保持体面”。身份一旦错位,如写成商家道歉信,内容分会被直接压低。
(二)要点提纲化,按点给分
题干多以三到四条中文提纲列任务:说明问题、陈述经过与影响、提出要求。评分按要点覆盖定档,漏一条即掉一档。因此“逐点落笔、一点一句”比写得漂亮更有效,提纲外的发挥只能加分,不能替分。
(三)语域要求“礼貌而坚定”
投诉信是“有分寸的抗争”:既不能辱骂、威胁、情绪化,也不能软弱到只写 I hope。高分文的共性是:用 complain about 点题,用 I would appreciate it if you could 提要求,用 Yours sincerely 收束,全程以 would、could 装进礼貌外壳。
(四)篇幅稳定在 80—100 词
字数空间只有 80—100 词,结构必须经济:三段、六到九句,一句一个功能,节奏是首段两句、中段三到四句、末段两三句。太长会挤占要点,太短则论证不足。
(五)时态与人称相对固定
陈述已发生的事实用过去时(I bought it last week),陈述现状与诉求用现在时(It still does not work),表示“至今未解决”用现在完成时(I have called three times)。人称以第一人称单数为主,指称商家用 your company。
company。
(六)评分四维一体
阅卷按要点、词汇语法、篇章衔接、格式语域四维定档:要点全但语法漏洞多,上不了高档;语言漂亮却漏掉“提要求”,同样掉档。这也解释了模板为何有效——它同时兜住结构、衔接与格式三项。
据此,正确路径是:先把“三段九句”骨架固化成肌肉记忆,再把词汇、句型、模板、避错、演练逐层嵌进骨架。骨架不稳,背再多高级词也只是散件。
表2 投诉信六要素与应对总览
命题要素
题目里的常见说法
考生要做的事
失分高发点
写信目的
“写一封投诉信”“表达你的不满”
首句点明 complain about + 对象
只描述不点题,首段读不出“投诉”
交易背景
“上周在某网店购买”“暑假参加了某旅行团”
时间 + 渠道 + 商品/服务,一句话交代
背景写成三段故事,浪费字数
核心问题
“发现……存在问题”“实际情况与宣传不符”
用名词和动词写具体缺陷
只写 very bad、not good 等空泛评价
影响后果
“给你带来不便”“影响了你的计划”
落到具体损失:误了面试、多花了钱
只说 inconvenient,缺事实支撑
诉求期限
“要求退款/换货”“希望尽快处理”
一个主诉求 + 一个期限 + 一句期待回复
没有明确诉求,第三段空转
语域身份
“假定你是李华”“写给客服/经理”
礼貌而坚定,称呼与落款配套
语气过激或过软,称呼落款不匹配
投诉信的正文只有三段,但三段职能完全不同:第一段“立事”,第二段“举证”,第三段“要账”。下面按“功能—句数—句型骨架—可替换词块—示范”五层拆开,每一层都可以直接搬到考场上。
【第一段:开门见山,立住“投诉谁、为什么”】
表3 第一段五层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
用两句话完成三件事:点明写信目的(投诉)、交代交易背景(何时何地买了什么)、亮出核心问题。这一段不许出现背景铺陈和情绪宣泄,阅卷老师在前两句就要知道你在投诉什么。
句数控制
两句,最多三句。第一句点题,第二句交代事实。
句型骨架
① I am writing to complain about + 名词(the poor quality of… / the delay in… / the service I received…)。② 背景句用 On 5 May I ordered… from your…, but… 或 Much to my disappointment, the… I bought… turned out to be…。
可替换词块
点题动词:complain about / express my dissatisfaction with / draw your attention to / report a problem with。背景名词:online store、local branch、travel agency、training centre、front desk。问题形容词:poor quality、faulty、damaged、far from satisfactory、contrary to your advertisement。
示范
I am writing to complain about the headphones I ordered from your online store last week. Much to my disappointment, the product I received was not what your advertisement had promised.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【第二段:分项举证,把事情说“看得见”】
表4 第二段五层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
全信的重心。要用具体细节把问题“演”给阅卷人看:坏在哪、怎么坏的、我为此付出了什么代价。这一段决定内容分的上限。
句数控制
三到四句,每句一个信息点,按“问题一 → 问题二(递进)→ 经过(我做了什么)→ 影响(我损失了什么)”推进。
句型骨架
① 问题句:The moment I opened the package, I found that… / On arrival, we were told that…。② 递进句:To make matters worse, … / What is worse, …。③ 经过句:I have called your hotline three times, but each time…。④ 影响句:It has caused me great inconvenience, for I had to… / As a result, I missed…。
可替换词块
细节证据:cracked screen、missing charger、stained sheets、cold food、wrong size、three days late。经过动词:called、wrote、waited、asked for、was told、was refused。影响表达:cause me great inconvenience、spoil my holiday、cost me an extra 300 yuan、affect my normal life、interfere with my work。
示范
The moment I opened the package, I found that the left earphone made no sound at all. To make matters worse, the charging cable was missing. I wrote to your service centre twice, but up to now I have received nothing except an automatic reply.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【第三段:明确诉求,给出期限与后果】
表5 第三段四层拆解
层次
操作要点
功能定位
把“我不满意”升级为“我要什么”。这一段必须可执行:诉求具体、期限明确、后果克制。缺了诉求句,前面的举证全部落空。
句数控制
两句到三句:一句诉求,一句期限或方式,一句期待回复(可选加一句后果)。
句型骨架
① 诉求句:I would therefore like a full refund / a replacement of the same model / a free repair。② 期限句:I would appreciate it if you could arrange this within seven days。③ 后果句(慎用):Otherwise, I shall have no choice but to report the matter to the consumer association。④ 收束句:I look forward to your early reply. / Your prompt attention would be greatly appreciated.
可替换词块
诉求:full refund、replacement、free repair、apology and compensation、a written explanation。期限:within three days、by Friday、as soon as possible、at your earliest convenience。后果:take legal action、complain to the authorities、turn to the consumer association、leave a public review。
示范
I would therefore like a full refund of the 399 yuan I paid. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this matter within seven days, or I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association. I look forward to your early reply.
把上面五层压缩成一句口诀:第一段“我买了什么、结果怎样”,第二段“坏在哪、我怎么交涉、损失什么”,第三段“我要什么、多久给、不给怎么办”。
【最后必须注意的六件事】
骨架搭好之后,决定分数的是下面六条细节。它们看似琐碎,却是二档与三档之间最常见的分界线。
1. 别把“背景”写成“故事”:第一段只需“何时、何地、买了什么”,不需要写“那天天气很好,我满怀期待地打开了包裹”。情境描写在投诉信里是无效字数。
2. 证据要“可核对”,不要“形容词堆砌”:写 the screen was cracked and the charger was missing,比写 the quality was very very bad 有力十倍。能用名词和动词说清的,就不要用形容词。
3. 影响要落到“我”身上:caused me great inconvenience 太虚,加上 for I had to cancel two meetings to wait for the repairman 就实了。一句具体损失胜过三句抱怨。
4. 诉求只能有一个主诉求:退款、换货、维修三选一作为主诉求,其余可作备选(or a replacement of the same model)。同时提三条要求,评卷人无法判断你的重点。
5. 后果句要有“台阶”:先用礼貌请求,再用 otherwise 提出升级措施,且升级措施止于“向消费者协会投诉、依法维权”,不写“告到你破产”“让全网都来骂你”。
6. 全程不出现辱骂与感叹号:never、terrible、cheat、rubbish 这类词要克制;一句话最多一个感叹号,正式的投诉信通常一个也不用。
【满分词汇模板】
本部分共 500 个单词与 300 个短语,全部按“英文—中文一对一”编排,一个英文只给一个最贴切的汉语义项,避免多义干扰记忆。单词按十个场景类目各 50 个排列,短语按十个语篇功能各 30 条排列,可以直接按类目安排背诵计划:每天一类,二十天完成一轮。
使用建议:单词先求“认得、会拼”,短语先求“会套”。背短语时不要孤立记,而要连同它在句子里的位置一起记——例如 I would appreciate it if you could 后面必须接从句,To make matters worse 后面必须接一个更糟的事实。

【满分作文模板】
下面这套模板由“固定骨架句 + 可替换槽位”组成。方括号中的内容为槽位,考场按题目替换;未加方括号的句子可以原样抄写。全篇 100 词左右,三段九句,覆盖“说明问题—陈述经过—提出要求”三类要点,适用于绝大多数投诉信题目。
一、万能三段模板(100 词骨架)
模板正文如下。加方括号的部分是槽位,按题目替换;其余句子可原样照抄,不必改动。
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about 【投诉对象:the faulty laptop / the poor service / the delayed delivery】, which I 【交易动作:bought / ordered / booked】 from 【渠道:your online store / your hotel / your agency】 on 【时间:5 May】.
The problem is that 【核心问题:the screen was cracked / the room was dirty / the tour was cut short】. To make matters worse, 【递进细节:the charger was missing / nobody answered my calls / we were charged extra】. I 【经过:have called your hotline three times】, but 【结果:up to now I have received no reply】. As a result, 【影响:I had to cancel two meetings / my holiday was completely spoiled】.
I would therefore like 【诉求:a full refund / a replacement of the same model / a free repair】. I would appreciate it if you could 【具体动作:arrange this / look into the matter】 within 【期限:seven days】. 【可选后果句:Otherwise, I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association.】
【证据句:I have enclosed copies of the receipt and the photos for your reference.】 I look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
槽位的取舍规则:时间、渠道、商品名必须换成题目给的;问题与影响必须换成题目情境;诉求可以从“退款、换货、维修、道歉赔偿”中选一个作主诉求;证据句与后果句属于加分项,字数紧张时可删,但至少要留下诉求句与期限句。
表30 八个槽位的填写规范
槽位
必须填什么
常见错误
投诉对象
名词短语:商品名、服务名、订单名
填成句子,导致 which 从句缺先行词
交易动作与渠道

动词与渠道搭配错误,如 bought from your hotel
核心问题
一个最严重的问题(名词或从句)
一次列三四个问题,重点丢失

二、四类情境变体开关
同一套骨架可以覆盖绝大多数投诉情境,只需按类别切换“问题槽位”和“诉求槽位”。
表31 四类情境的变体开关
情境类别
问题槽位与诉求的切换方法
网购实物类
问题槽位优先填外观、功能、缺件:cracked / faulty / missing / the wrong size / not match the picture。诉求多用 refund 或 replacement。
服务体验类(酒店、餐厅、旅行社)
问题槽位优先填服务与体验:the room was dirty / the food was cold / the guide skipped two attractions。诉求多用 apology and compensation、partial refund。
产品故障类(家电、数码)
问题槽位优先填故障与售后:it stopped working after two days / the battery runs out in an hour。诉求多用 free repair 或 replacement,并写明保修条款。
报名缴费类(课程、健身卡、旅行团)
问题槽位优先填承诺不符:the course was not what your advertisement promised / the trainer changed every week。诉求多用 full refund,并援引合同或退费条款。
【模板示例】
下面用第六部分的模板,套写一封完整的投诉信。题目情境:你上周在某网店购买一副无线耳机,收到后发现右耳无声、充电线缺失,联系客服两次未获实质回复,要求写一封 100 词左右的投诉信。全文 108 词,每一句都来自模板骨架,槽位替换处在批注中标出。
一、完整范文(108 词)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the wireless headphones I ordered from your online store on 5 May. Much to my disappointment, the product I received was not what your advertisement had promised.
The moment I opened the package, I found that the right earphone made no sound at all. To make matters worse, the charging cable was missing. I have written to your service centre twice, but up to now I have received nothing except an automatic reply. As a result, I have had to use my old headphones and missed two online meetings.
I would therefore like a full refund of the 399 yuan I paid. I would appreciate it if you could deal with this matter within seven days, or I shall have no choice but to turn to the consumer association.
I have enclosed copies of the receipt and two photos of the earphone for your reference. I look forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

对照批注可以发现:全信十三行,其中固定骨架句只有六句,其余七句都是槽位替换。也就是说,考场上真正需要“自己写”的内容,只有“问题、细节、经过、影响、诉求、期限”六处,每处一句,全部可以用第三、四部分的词句拼装。
技巧的价值在于可操作。下面六类技巧,每一类都给出具体动作,可以直接在草稿纸上执行,而不是“多读多写”式的泛泛建议。
(一)审题三步:划身份、圈要点、定诉求
第一步:划身份:在题干上圈出“你是谁、写给谁、什么关系”。消费者写给商家用 complaint;旅客写给酒店用 dissatisfied guest;读者写给报社编辑用 letter to the editor,语气可以更公共化。
第二步:圈要点:把提纲逐条编号,写完一句划掉一条。要点通常藏在“说明情况”“提出要求”“表达期望”三类动词后面,漏掉的那条往往就是失分点。
第三步:定诉求:先决定主诉求(refund / replacement / repair / apology and compensation),再决定期限与升级措施。诉求定了,第三段才有落点。
(二)要点分配:一句一点,不重复不遗漏
一条要点一句话:不要用两句说同一件事,也不要把两条要点塞进一句长句。评卷是“扫点”,句界清晰最省对方力气。
先实后虚:具体事实(坏了什么、损失多少)放前面,笼统评价(very disappointed)放后面或不写。
宁可少一个形容词,不可少一个要点:字数紧张时,砍修饰语,不砍要点句。
(三)语域控制:把强硬装进礼貌
三换:换情态动词(will→would、can→could)、换句式(祈使句→I would appreciate it if…)、换词(angry→dissatisfied、cheat→fail to keep your promise)。
两不:不用辱骂词,不用连续感叹号。
一句台阶:所有施压句后面跟一个“仍然希望友好解决”的软句:I would rather settle this matter in a friendly way。
(四)衔接手段:让八句话像一篇文章
时间链:on 5 May → the moment → up to now → within seven days,一条时间线贯穿全信。
逻辑链:The problem is that… → To make matters worse… → As a result… → I would therefore…,四个连接词撑起整篇。
指代链:the product / it / this matter 交替使用,避免三次重复同一名词。
(五)扩写与压缩:一个字数的双向操作
扩写三招:加细节(cracked screen)、加经过(called twice)、加影响(missed two meetings)。每一招都能安全增加约 10 词,且都是得分点。
压缩三招:删评价(very very bad)、并短句(两个简单句并为并列句)、去重复(第二段说过的诉求不在第三段复述)。
目标区间:写完后数字数,落在 90—105 词最安全;超出 110 词,优先删形容词和重复主语。
(六)交卷前六十秒自检
四点快查:① 三类要点是否各有一句;② 时态是否“过去叙事、现在诉求”;③ 是否有一处委婉请求句;④ 称呼与落款是否配套(Sir or Madam 配 Yours faithfully;Mr. Smith 配 Yours sincerely)。
三个高危错:complain about 漏介词、look forward to 后接动词原形、would appreciate 漏 it。这三个错在阅卷中出现率最高。
一处加分:结尾前加一句证据句(I have enclosed…),几乎零风险,直接体现“投诉有据”。
把六类技巧压成一张自检表,交卷前逐行打钩。六项全过,这篇投诉信基本就在二档以上;有两项不过,先改这两项再谈文采。
表33 交卷前 60 秒自检表
检查维度
自检问题
不合格的后果
内容
三类要点(问题、经过/影响、诉求)是否各有一句以上?
漏一条即降档
格式
称呼、正文三段、结束语、署名是否齐全?署名是否写 Li Hua?
缺称呼或署名扣格式分
语域
是否有 would / could 等委婉表达?有无辱骂、威胁、感叹号?
语域错位直接掉档
语言
主谓一致、时态、冠词、介词搭配是否过关?有无拼写错误?
每 2—3 处小错扣一档语言分
衔接
是否使用 2 个以上连接词(To make matters worse / As a result / therefore)?
衔接手段少于 2 个,篇章分偏低
词数
是否在 90—105 词之间?
少于 80 或多于 120 词风险高
本部分提供十五道投诉信写作题,覆盖网购、住宿、餐饮、旅行、快递、数码、家电、家具、健身、培训、航空、校园、演出票务等高频情境,每题配一篇 150 词左右的参考答案。
训练建议:每题限时 15 分钟、100 词为下限、不查词典;写完后先按第八部分自检表自查,再对照参考答案,只比较“要点是否齐全、诉求是否明确、语域是否得体”三项,不必逐字比对用词。参考答案按 150 词写作,篇幅略长于考场要求,目的是多给可替换的表达,考场可自行压缩到 100 词左右。
