隨著近幾年英語(yǔ)考試的劇烈變革，英語(yǔ)試題越來(lái)越講究應(yīng)用能力的考查，寫(xiě)作部分的命題改變了原來(lái)單一的簡(jiǎn)單提綱模式，采用了多種命題方式。事務(wù)信函迅速出現(xiàn)在國(guó)內(nèi)考試的試題中，從2000年起，四級(jí)、六級(jí)、BEC、MBA聯(lián)考、公共英語(yǔ)不定期考查了書(shū)信寫(xiě)作， 2005年考研英語(yǔ)新大綱已經(jīng)正式規(guī)定信函或其它應(yīng)用文成為寫(xiě)作必考題型，和雅思考試一樣每次考查兩篇作文，每次都可能涉及到事務(wù)信函。信函創(chuàng)作迅速成為寫(xiě)作的主力題型，需要英語(yǔ)教師改變授課內(nèi)容，與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，及時(shí)補(bǔ)充信函的創(chuàng)作策略及必備語(yǔ)言。新題型的授課，對(duì)教師和學(xué)生都構(gòu)成了新的挑戰(zhàn)，以下是筆者在寫(xiě)作教學(xué)中的總結(jié)和心得，希望能夠幫助考生快速把握信函的創(chuàng)作方法。
事務(wù)信函在考試中頻頻出現(xiàn)，主題類型較多，包括感謝信、祝賀信、投訴信、咨詢信、建議信、申請(qǐng)信、邀請(qǐng)信、求職信、辭職信、訂貨信和通知/安排信。在多種類型中，新考研大綱特別給出了訂貨信的樣題。其實(shí)，主題變化多端，但只是內(nèi)容上的簡(jiǎn)單變化，命題時(shí)給出了幾個(gè)信息點(diǎn)，要根據(jù)信息點(diǎn)寫(xiě)段，相當(dāng)于普通的提綱作文。另外，四級(jí)要求120詞，六級(jí)要求150詞，考研只需要100個(gè)單詞，對(duì)考生來(lái)說(shuō)應(yīng)當(dāng)很容易寫(xiě)出相應(yīng)的字?jǐn)?shù)，我們需要把握考查點(diǎn)并抓住核心內(nèi)容準(zhǔn)備?？荚囈远温湔Z(yǔ)言考查為主，信封格式并不太重要，歷年雅思和四六級(jí)都重視信體的創(chuàng)作，是否涵蓋幾大信息點(diǎn)、書(shū)面語(yǔ)句型語(yǔ)言的運(yùn)用、禮貌客氣的語(yǔ)氣、措辭的正確性和精彩性成為閱卷人關(guān)注的要點(diǎn)。
以下是對(duì)信函不同部分所用語(yǔ)言及句型的總結(jié)，如果能夠加以背誦，并且在實(shí)際創(chuàng)作中學(xué)以致用，相信考生會(huì)寫(xiě)出成功的書(shū)信。
一． 信函的開(kāi)頭與結(jié)尾
書(shū)信的開(kāi)頭要稱呼收信人，根據(jù)對(duì)對(duì)方的了解以及雙方關(guān)系的親密程度，需要采取不同的稱呼方式。另外，事務(wù)信函結(jié)尾的敬語(yǔ)需要比較正式，可以采取右列的多種方式。但不可太過(guò)隨意，如寫(xiě)出 “See you soon”, “Good bye” 或者 “Thank you”, 則說(shuō)明我們還是not on the right track。可參考的模式如下：
收信人 開(kāi)頭 結(jié)尾

二． 信函書(shū)面語(yǔ)詞匯示例
事務(wù)信函與普通人際交往信函有所不同，普通的書(shū)信發(fā)給父母、同事、朋友、同學(xué)、兄弟姐妹，語(yǔ)氣放松，語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔，口語(yǔ)性強(qiáng)，形式不拘一格。而事務(wù)信函要發(fā)給公司、學(xué)校、機(jī)關(guān)和其它的重要部門，收信人可以是經(jīng)理、老板、總監(jiān)、主管、校長(zhǎng)、主任、教授、導(dǎo)師、醫(yī)生、律師、工程師或其它的重要工作人員。因此要求語(yǔ)言正式，用比較復(fù)雜而且模式話的語(yǔ)言來(lái)串聯(lián)全篇信息，并且給人一種莊重的感覺(jué)。各種考試之所以側(cè)重事務(wù)信函，也是因?yàn)檫@種考法能夠檢驗(yàn)考生對(duì)于正式書(shū)面語(yǔ)的使用，以及對(duì)4000以上詞匯量的把握和熟練應(yīng)用。以下的表達(dá)考生可以使用口語(yǔ)化用詞，但可以酌情考慮把一些過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單的用詞替換為書(shū)面語(yǔ)用詞。

三． 信函常用句型
事務(wù)信函之所以在復(fù)雜性和功能性上超出其它文體，是因?yàn)樗哂幸惶鬃约旱奶囟ㄕZ(yǔ)匯，體現(xiàn)在句型上，就是各類主題信函需要使用的各種功能句型。這些句型的使用，提高了書(shū)信語(yǔ)言的正式程度以及規(guī)范性。如果考生即興發(fā)揮，有可能用詞和用句都過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單化，語(yǔ)氣隨意，寫(xiě)出的效果也就使人發(fā)笑。但是掌握了這些句型，就等于掌握了一種產(chǎn)品的制造方法，可以輕松地寫(xiě)出非常恰當(dāng)?shù)轿坏谋磉_(dá)，結(jié)合具體信息點(diǎn)，各種書(shū)信也就迎刃而解了。

事務(wù)信函范例：申請(qǐng)信
一名英語(yǔ)專業(yè)的大學(xué)本科畢業(yè)生在聯(lián)系去美國(guó)耶魯大學(xué)讀文學(xué)專業(yè)碩士，以下是他寫(xiě)的申請(qǐng)信，供各位讀者參考：A Letter of Application
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to pursue a master’s degree in English Literature at Yale, your prestigious university. The following is my statement of purpose about making this critical decision.
I have obtained a bachelor’s degree from Peking University in English literature. The four-year rigorous training has helped me to lay a firm foundation in literary analysis and criticism. The professors here have not only inspired my interest in my major but also set me on the right track of writing research papers applying proper theoretical approaches. My interest focuses on two branches of British literature: 19-century British novels and Shakespeare’s plays. Under the instruction of my professor here I have read novels of Charles Dickens, Jane Austin, Emily Bronte and Thomas Hardy, as well as the main tragedies of Shakespeare. I have been deeply fascinated by the profound beauty of these literary works. However, owing to the limited depth of my research in these writers, I plan to continue my studies for a master’s degree in my major. My long-term plan is to get a solid command of professional competence in research methods, and advanced knowledge of specialties in the discipline.
I am applying for admission to Yale University not only because Yale is among the most distinguished institutions in the world but also because my interests are more in line with your research specialization. What’s more, Yale University boasts the best research faculties in the U.S. and the rich resources of research in my field of study. I’m expecting to gain a broad exposure to contemporary intellectual currents from the renowned Yale scholars and experts who maintain a foothold in a variety of these disciplines.
Thank you for your patience to read this through. If additional information is required, please advise me at your early convenience. Your prompt and favorable attention to my request would be highly appreciated. I am looking forward to a favorable reply as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
有了以上語(yǔ)言的積累，相信大家能夠armed to the teeth, 對(duì)待寫(xiě)信可以胸有成竹。那么，你已經(jīng)練就了事務(wù)信函的創(chuàng)作技能，鼓起勇氣去考試吧，今后在實(shí)際工作中還可以繼續(xù)收益，這也許是你在外企里重要的求生技能呢。
