雅思考试G类写作及范文赏析

  导语:书信写作是雅思考试G类小作文中的一种,要写好英文书信,使用哪种语气十分重要,这可以准确地反映出写信人和收信人之间的关系,由于G类考生相对于A类考生人数较少,考生对于书信写作的重视不够,在G类分数要求日渐水涨船高的今天,考生尤其要注意书信写作中极为重要的一点,就是语气的把握。本文将从四个方面对于如何选择合适的语气和措辞进行说明。

雅思考试G类写作及范文赏析

  一、审题把握

  把握好G类书信语气的第一步,就是要弄清写信的要求和背景。雅思书信写作题目就是由背景信息和写作任务两个部分构成的,我们可以将其分成私人信件和事务性信件两种类型。写给亲朋好友的信可以归为前者,如友情信,请看下面这个例子:

  You are going to have a business trip and arrange your friend to look after your children. Write a letter to the friend. You should:

  1. Tell him/her which kind of food your children like and dislike

  2. Tell him/her which kinds of activities your children can attend

  3. Tell him/her the time you will pick up your children.

  根据背景分析,这封书信是写给朋友请求帮助在自己出差期间照管孩子的,显而易见,这是一封私人信件,由于对方是挚友,写信的语气可以比较轻松和随意,在说明详细内容时,措辞不必讲究但要礼貌。

  再来看一个例子:

  Your friends have been out on holiday and ask you to stay at their house. However, there is a problem with a piece of equipment in the kitchen. Write a letter to them. In your letter, you should:

  1. Describe your feeling at their home

  2. Describe what the problem is

  3. Describe what action you have done to solve the problem

  这是一封抱怨信,写信人在朋友度假期间帮朋友看管房屋,在信中向朋友说明厨房用具的问题,这并非商务场合和正式交涉,切不可义正词严。

  You are living in an English-speaking country and the restaurant near you is making a lot of noise everyday. Write a letter to the restaurant owner. In your letter, you should

  1. say how you are disturbed by noise

  2. give some suggestions to fix the problem

  3. tell the owner further action will be taken if this problem remains unsolved.

  这封信同属抱怨信,我们来比较一下它与上一封信的区别,这封信是写给餐馆经理的,说明对于餐馆噪声的不满,收信人与写信人并不熟悉甚至从未谋面,过于熟络的语气和措辞,或者在朋友之间使用的抱怨性较强的词汇都应尽量避免。

  雅思专家将常见的书信分为以下几类:询问信、建议信和求职信一般较为正式;友情信属于非正式信件;投诉信、道歉信、邀请信、感谢信的语气要根据具体情况而定。考生需要注意题目所描述的背景和对收信人的设定,分清写信对象,准确而恰当地把握题目要求,走好G类书信第一步。

  二、信头称呼

  所谓称呼是指写信人对收信人的称呼用语,一般用“dear”开头,在称呼后可以用逗号(英式)或是冒号“美式”。

  1. 如果是写给亲戚或是关系密切的朋友,我们习惯于在“Dear”后加上对其的称呼或是名字(given name)。如:Dear mother或者是Dear Emma;

  2. 如果是写给一家公司或者不知道具体职衔的人,可以用Dear Sir or Madam或To Whom It May Concern;

  3. 如果知道具体职衔但不知其姓氏,可以以其职位称呼,如Dear Chief Accountant;

  4. 如果写信人知道收信人的姓名和性别,但关系不够密切,只属于一般往来,Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms/Miss Wang会显得友好却不随便;

  5. 另外,也可以用学位及职称加上姓氏或者全名,如Dear Dr. Will Smith, Dear Prof. (Professor) Jane Austin。

  三、语气斟酌

  正文作为整个信件内容最重要的部分,所选用的词汇和句式无不体现着写信人的态度和语气,应该根据不同的信件内容进行挑选和斟酌。

  1)投诉信

  投诉信的收信对象可以是比较熟悉的人,如抱怨邻居宠物过于吵闹,也可以是针对公司甚至不熟悉的机构或者某个事件而写的,如对社区体育设施的拆除表达不满。

  You heard that a sports center would be closed. Write a letter to the manager. In this letter, you should:

  1. Tell how you heard about the news.

  2. Say what your opinion is about it.

  3. Explain how it impacts your life.

  由于对象是某运动中心经理,措辞方面就应该较为礼貌,以下的词句是可以选取作为陈述问题的句型:

  I am writing to you to complain about...

  I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with...

  There are some problems with … that I wish to bring to attention.

  值得注意的是,也完全没有必要像公文那么正式,只要言语恰当就可以。在叙述问题时可以多以客观性描述为主,辅以主观的感受,显得更有说服力,如:

  I found …

  I feel quite disappointed that…

  在结尾部分说明期望时,也可以搭配同样的语气:

  I hope that the authorities concerned will consider my suggestions and improve the situation as best as they can.

  I sincerely hope that it will review its management system, with the view to providing, better service to the public.

  We trust that you will now consider this matter seriously and make an effort to prevent the recurrence of this kind.

  如果是针对邻居再三出现的已经提醒过很多次的问题,我们可以措辞更为非正式一些,如I can hardly bear /tolerate /put up with it any more. 但也不意味着可以出现“guy”等过于口语风格化的语句。

  2)工作申请信

  G类考生许多都是有工作经验的人,或者曾经有过写工作申请的经历,由于收信人多是公司或者经理级的人,言辞之间应该以正式语气为主:

  I wish to apply for the position of…which you advertised in…

  I am very interested in exploring the possibility of obtaining a position as … with your company.

  结尾部分在阐述希望约见进行面试时,也选取一些较为缓和语气的动词如“hope”来表达:

  I am available for an interview every afternoon. Please contact me at…

  I hope that after reviewing my enclosed resume you will kindly give me an interview so that I can elaborate on my studies and working experience.

  雅思G类小作文指导:

  两个基本点:

  第一、在考试中,无论遇到哪种类型的书信又或是题目中有任何的具体要求,都要谨记下列的三要素:

  1. 明确的指出自己写信的目的

  2. 清晰、准确的陈述事实

  3. 使用坚定但礼貌的语言(这一点与概述中提及的内容一致)

  在整章中,我会强调每一种类型书信的“目的”:

  如果你写信是要投诉,就用一句话把问题概括,比如:我买的产品不好用;修理工作不彻底;食物太难吃;新租的房子家具太旧等等

  如果你写信寻求帮助,那就清楚的告诉收信人你遇到了什么困难,你需要哪些具体方面的帮助等

  如果你写求职信,那就说明白为什么你比别人强

  总之,一封有着明确“目的”的信,就像是承载着期望的`生命。

  下面有三封短信,看看它们都带着什么样的目的(雅思考试中最常见类型)

  NB (提示): 这些书信仅用于了解上述3要素的重要性,但表达地道、文字精准,值得学习;但是正式考试中,除了需要书信的内容,还要提供称谓和落款等内容。

  书信一、写信目的:道歉信 (承认错误、表示歉意、请求原谅、寻求解决方案)

  I’m so sorry I missed our appointment for this morning; I got held up in a faculty meeting and could not break away.

  Please call me to reschedule. I am available any weekday except Friday from 2 to 4 P.M., and because I missed our meeting I also am willing to drop by the office any time Saturday if that works better for you.

  My apologies.

  书信二、写信目的:抱怨信(描述现象、陈述理由、提出解决)

  I have just moved into Apartment 32B, and am enjoying my stay here. However, I do have a concern about one of my neighbors.

  When I signed my lease it was emphasized to me that there could be no more than two persons living full-time in a studio apartment. That is definitely not the case in the apartment directly above mine, 33B.

  During the one month I have been here, there must have been at least six adults and three young children somehow squeezed into that studio apartment at any one time. The constant noise, the traffic into and out of the apartment, and the four cars they use is very annoying.

  Please look into the matter and advise me of the resolution as soon as possible.

  题目:

  A night club just opened near where you live. You are very unhappy about the situation because it disturbs the peace of the neighborhood. Write a letter to your local government official. Say who you are and explain why you are unhappy and suggest what should be done about it.(投诉信)

  范文:

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the horriblesituation I have been faced with recently.

  亲爱的先生、女士:

  我写此信是要就我最近所面对的可怕状况表达我的不满。

  I’m a resident of Rose Park on St. Johnson Street. I had been enjoying my life since I moved here five years ago. However, a nightclub recently opened right across the street from my apartment block has completelychanged everything.

  To begin with, the club itself is very unsightly. It has blackened windows with sexually explicit pictures displayed on the outside, which I find extremely offensive. Also, the noise level during the early hours of the morning is so intense that it has really disturbedmy sleep. Consequently, I find that I am unable to concentrate fully on my job, as I am often too tired.

  首先,这家夜总会本身就很不堪入目。其窗户搞得黑乎乎的,外面贴着相当淫秽的画,这一点令我感到尤其难以忍受。此外,凌晨时刻的噪音太高,严重影响了我的睡眠,所造成的结果是由于太过疲倦,我无法全力专注于工作。

  I work as a surgeon in the local hospital; therefore, I am sure you can see the gravity of my complaint. Indeed, the consequencesof my making any mistake due to my lack of sleep can be very serious indeed.

  我是本地医院的外科医生,因此,我相信您能够看到我投诉的严重性。事实上,由于我缺乏睡眠而造成任何错误的后果将是十分严重的。

  I understand that, as a member of the local government, you have the power to close the club down. Nevertheless, I know very clearly that people need to make a living and I would not like to be responsible for people losing their jobs. Hence, if you could please ensure that the offensive pictures are removed, and the noise level is kept to a minimumlevel, I would be more than satisfied.

  我深知,作为当地政府的一员,您有权关闭这家俱乐部。然而,我也很清楚:人们都需要谋生,而我也不愿意对他人失去工作而负任何责任,因此,如果您能确保那些令人难受的画被撤掉、噪音控制在最低水平,我就将十分满意了。

  I look forward to your reply.

  Yours sincerely,

  Kenny Gao

  期盼得到您的答复。

  您真诚的

  Kenny Gao
