英语写作中我们经常会遇到写信的情况。下面来看看小编为你整理的写作指导吧，希望对你写信有帮助。
一、写作指导
书信种类很多，它包括笔友信、感谢信、慰问(候)信，祝贺信、鼓励信、介绍信、自荐信、询问信、应聘信、联系信、求职信及求职信的答复信，邀请信及其接受邀请的信，读者请求的解答信及其答复读者的信等。
总的说来，写英语书信时有以下几点需注意：
(1) 地址的书写与中文相反，须从小到大写。
(2) 日期写法与中文不同，它应写在信纸右上方寄信人地址下面，不可写在写信人签名之后。
(3) 正式书信中，收信人的姓名和地址应写在信纸左上方，并低于写信人地址一行。
(4) 称呼通常用Dear…，关系亲密的可写 My dear…，之后要加逗号，而不用冒号。
(5) 结尾和称呼一致，熟人间写Yours ever, 致长者时写Yours respectfully，一般情况写Yours truly，Yours sincerely 等，其中Your sincerely 最为保险，但不管哪一种，结尾客套语中不可遗漏 Yours，最后还有签名。
二、实例与范文
1.表示欢迎
2.提出对度假安排的建议
3.提醒应注意的事项
A letter to a Schoolmate
June 23, 2001
Dear Xiao Wang,
I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!
As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsen's Mausoleum. With all its universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic and musical performances. It's also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and deciding on the others as our week develops.
Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also, as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to be very careful with your belongings!
Best wishes for a pleasant journey!
Yours,
Zhang Ying
