How to write an English letter? -For the teacher.

To write English letters well, we must first understand the writing format of English letters. The writing formats of English letters include letter format and envelope format. English letters, especially personal letters, usually include the following five parts: 1. Title; 2. Address; 3. body; 4. Modesty and conclusion (total closure); 5. Sign your name. If necessary, a postscript can be added after the signature, which is often abbreviated as P.S. The format of the above five parts in the stationery is as follows: Grade 2, No.2 Middle School 1 (letterhead) Huizhou, Guangdong (return address) 516002 March 8, 2002 (date of mailing) Dear Li Ming, (title) text) _ Write it in the upper right corner of the stationery, starting near the center of the stationery. Leave blank on the letterhead and write the mailing address first. The address is not written in Chinese. You should write small places first, then big places. Write the date under the address. The order of dates is: month, day, year or day, month and year. For example: March 8, 2002 or March 8, 2002, with a comma before the year. Address: refers to the address of the recipient. Write it under the stationery, starting from the left side of the stationery and every other line. The address in an English letter should depend on the relationship between the sender and the receiver. When writing to relatives, just add a word to express kinship after dear or my dear, such as dear father. Call the younger generation or peers by their first names, such as dear Li Ming; ; For strangers, you often add "sir" or "madam" after "dear" or "my dear". For example: Dear Mr. Li, Dear Mrs. Chen, and so on. Text: refers to the main part of the letter. Start with the first paragraph on the next line of the title. Starting from the second paragraph, the first word of each paragraph is indented by 3 to 5 letters. Note that English letters usually don't use "hello!" Such as Chinese letters. At the beginning, if you write a reply, you should usually mention the other party's letter first and express your gratitude, such as thank you for your letter of February 18, 2002. Then you can answer each other's questions or state your own views. Courtesy and conclusion: refers to the conclusion below the text. Generally speaking, letters are written from the middle to the right, with the first letter capitalized and a comma at the end. Yours is often used in informal social letters. If the other person is a close friend, you can use sincere Yours, yours, etc. The common conclusion is: Best wishes/greetings! Good wishes! Good luck/success! Good luck/success! Say hello to ...! Please give my regards to …! Signature: refers to the sender's signature. Write it at the bottom of the conclusion, a little to the right. Except for people who are familiar or close, the signature must be written in full name. /school 8/c2tb _ 03 1 1/ca 2 108 . htm
