【示例1】因不能按期还书而道歉——因为被我表妹强行借走了
Dear Kate,
How is everything going? I am writing to beg your
pardon for my long delaying in returning to you
your “Gone with the Wind” which I read through
with great interest.
I had already finished reading the book and was
about to return it when my cousin came to see me.
Never having seen the book, She was so
interested in it that I had no choice but to allow her
finish the book. I hope that in view of the
additional delight thus afforded by your book, you
will overlook my negligence（疏忽）in not
returning it sooner. （然而，看在你的那本书能够带
来的双倍喜悦的面子上，希望你能够原谅我没有及早
还书的错误）
I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and
understand my situation. Thanking you again for
the loan.
Sincerely yours,
Tom
注：除了道歉信中间段落需要写成记叙形式，其余五种书信都应该写成议论形式。不管是记叙还是议论，中间段落第一句都应该写一个概括性质的“主题句”——这是我们的原则！
3结尾段：想写好第三段，就要背过各种客套话
【六种书信“结尾段”最佳写法】

感谢信：

英语写作试题（一） I. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points) The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided. Attaining Success in College Succeeding in college is not only important to getting and education, but also crucial in this day and age to success in the work place. To me, the three most important things for attaining a successful college experience are having smart classroom conduct, taking advantage of campus resources, and making college the first priority. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Making good use of campus resources is also of great importance to college success. The school library has many resources for the growth of the students’ mind. With computers and copy-machines for individual use, computer labs and writing labs are there not just for learning purposes but also for actual help with writing papers. The “office hours” will help the students build a close relationship with their professors and give them access to the professors’ mind. From the professors the students can acquire possible extra information that may put them ahead of their study. All these resources are free, since they are funded by student tuitions. So taking good advantage of the resources can only make the students’ education more attainable. Finally, any students who want to assure success must establish school as the top priority. Personally I have watched some students slowly loosen up; I have seen a pattern of partying and a lack of motivation. Many of the freshmen have no idea why they are in college, and their “eyes” often tell it all. This world is so rich in distractions that it is hard to keep a strong focus, especially if one is just starting his or her academic career. It is said that the first semester is often the most “unsuccessful” one. This certainly rings true for me. I made mistakes in this regard and eventually learned that, to achieve success, school must always be placed above other things. In my college experience, I have observed and learned how to achieve success. I wish someone had told me earlier the importance of having that smart classroom conduct, of fully utilizing the school resources, and of making college my top priority. Then, my college beginnings would not have been so rocky and tough. II. Write an outline (20 points) Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it. Smell Smell, as a means of nonverbal communication, is important. Odor communicates not only when we are face to face with another person, but also when the other personis not present. People from different cultures may have different attitudes toward body odors. Most people in the West respond negatively to what they consider bad odors such as body odor, breath odor, or

期末考试英语作文 导读：Yesterday, I took the final exam of this term. I worked hard to prepare for it, but I was still nervous. I was afraid that I couldn’t do it well. I had three exams, Chinese, math and English. In the morning, it was the Chinese. It was not so difficult for me that I was sure I could be good in it. Then, it was math in the afternoon. It’s the part I was afraid of most. Not surprised, I met some troubles in math exam. But I still hope they wouldn’t be serious. I am good at English, so I didn’t worry about it. I knew I can do well in it. In short, the final exam was not so hard for me and I am quite sure the scores will be perfect. 昨天，我参加了这学期的期末考试。虽然我很努力备考，但是考前我依然很紧张，我怕自己考不好。有三门考试，分别是语文、数学和英语。第一天早上考语文，这对我来说不算难，我相信自己能考好。下午考数学，这是我最怕的一科。不出意料，考试的时候果然碰到难题了，但我希望不会错得太离谱。英语是我的`强项，所以我没有担心英语科目，我知道我会有优异的表现。总的来说，期考对于我来说并不算太难，我相信自己能考出好成绩。 【期末考试英语作文】 1.期末考试的英语日记 2.2015高一英语作文:期末考试话题作文
