三、感谢信

感谢信(note of acknowledgement)在中西方的作用和地位不太一样。在中国,如果我们表示感谢,一般会在当时就表达了,或以后亲自登门来表达谢意。只有陌生人帮助了我们或者归还了我们遗失的巨额财物,我们才会给这个人所在的单位写感谢信,所以感谢信在中国不是很常见。但在西方国家,人们一般在事后写感谢信来表示谢意,所以感谢信很常见。例如,有人请你吃饭,一般在第二天,你需要给主人写一个致谢便条,以表达你对他们款待的感谢。感谢信一般分为三部分:

首先描述感谢的心情,然后陈述感谢的原因,最后呼应开头,再次表达感激之情,或是想要报答对方的意愿。感谢类的便条一定要情真意切,发自真心,绝对不能过分渲染,过分夸张,但也不能敷衍了事。

范文1

Write a note of about 50~60 words based on the following situation:

You have got a crystal necklace from your boyfriend Erik as your birthday gift. You love the necklace very much and express your thanks to him.

Oct.27, 2007

Dear Erik,

Thank you for the gorgeous crystal necklace you gave me for my birthday. (表明感谢之情)You know, I have desired for a crystal necklace for a long time and it goes so well with the color of my eyes. (阐述感谢的缘由)I hope you can see how joyful I am wearing the necklace. Again many thanks for you. (再次表述感谢之情)

Love,

Amanda

范文2

Dear Bree,

I fail in words to express my gratitude for what you have done during my stay in the hospital. (表明感谢之情)The note you took for me help me miss nothing in my study and I love so much the flowers and fruits you bought for me. (阐述感谢的缘由) Once again millions of thanks for your tender and loving care. (再次表达感谢之情)

Cordially yours,

Amanda

表示感谢的便条也有其固定的句型,现将这些固定句型归纳如下:

◆ Thank you very much for the terrific sendoff for us.

◆ Allow me to thank you for the wonderful dinner prepared for me.

◆ I"d like to express my heartfelt thanks for your hospitality.

◆ I am writing to tell you how grateful I am for what you have done for me.

◆ I shall have great pleasure in accepting your invitation.

◆ Accept my thanks for your handsome present.

四、道歉信

表示道歉的便条最重要的是态度问题,必须态度诚恳。致歉类的便条(note of apology)可以按照如下三个步骤来写:首先表达歉意,应该注意语气和态度;其次,说明原因,应当如实陈述;最后,请求原谅,并提出弥补的措施等。

五、祝贺信

祝贺信(note of congratulation)是在亲人、朋友或者同事升职、毕业、结婚时所写的表示祝贺的信,所以祝贺信的语气和措辞都应该是积极的、喜悦的。祝贺信一般在开头表达对某事的祝贺,之后往往会加入一些对取得该成就或者这件喜事的评论或看法,最后送上真诚的祝福。

范文1

Write a note of about 80~90 words based on the following situation:
