作文:
这次讲书信写作.书信作文是四级考试中经常考到的一种形式,其中包括私人信函和公务信函.私人信函是指写给朋友或同学的信函,形式比较随意.公务信函也称事务信函,主要包括邀请函,感谢信,道歉信,祝贺信,介绍信,申请信,建议信,投诉信,咨询信等.

虽然信件的类型很多,但是信件的写作可以总结出一个很简单的结构.
第一段:一般写两句话,第一句是写信的目的,第二句是写自我介绍.
第二段:这一段需要对题目给出的背景内容进行说明,解释.推荐写法是以一个总结句开头,然后分条目写作.如果是涉及几个方面的问题,也要把结构写清楚.
第三段:这一段写两句话.第一句写期待回信,第二句写对写信人表示感谢.

范文:
1,Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
　　假设你是李明，请你就本校食堂的状况给校长写一封信，内容应涉及食堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等，可以是表扬，可以是批评建议，也可以兼有而有之。

Dear Mr. President,

　　I’m very lucky to attend this world-famous university, but I’m afraid I’m not content with the canteen service on campus.

　　Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes, but all the year round, they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day. So I think the most urgent problem is variety. Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food. Finally, the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meals in good mood. I suggest that there be some soft music to help us relax. These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions.

　　By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.

　　 Best wishes, 　　

　　 Li Ming
