江西省专升本统考英语 —— 写作专题
一、写作考试要求
英语写作是江西省专升本英语统一考试的重要组成部分之一。本部分占总分的10%，考试时间25分钟。而整个专升本英语统一考试的内容是以教育部颁发的《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》为基本根据的。该基本要求关于考试写作能力的基本要求是：要求考生在规定的时间内写出80～100词的短文，写作内容为日常生活题材或简单的业务交际的短文。试卷上可能给出题目，或规定情景，或要求写信函、个人简历、启事、通知等应用文。短文要求格式基本正确，能基本表达思想，意思连贯，无重大语法错误。本部分的测试目的是检查学生的英语书面表达能力。由此可见，应用文写作（书信）是专升本考试常考题型。
二、应试技巧与策略
一般来说，一篇好的应用文应包括以下两大因素： 1）技术上的因素：
语言自然流畅，语法错误较少，正确使用所学的词、词组和句型； 语法及标点使用正确，句子结构完整； 格式正确，符合常见的应用文格式；
有效地采用了多种衔接的手法，意思连贯，层次清晰。 2）非技术上的因素：
在考试时，还必须把握“非技术上的因素”，即作文书写上应当清晰整洁，美观大方。动笔前，列个提纲，打个腹稿，做好心中有数，切忌字迹潦草，乱涂乱画。因为阅卷在夏天，酷暑难耐，心情易燥，作文书写的第一影响起了非常重要的作用。
三、历年真题题型分析
2009年：询价信 (an letter of enquiry) 2008年：通告、通知
(a(n) poster/notice/announcement) 2007年：道歉信 (a letter of apology) 2006年：建议信 (a letter of suggestion) 2005年：征稿信 (a letter of contribution) 2004年：说明文 (a letter of expository) 2003年：申请信 (a letter of application) 2002年：求职信 (a letter of application) 2001年：邀请信 (a letter of invitation)
总的来说，应用文（包括信签、便签、备忘录等）写作是专升本考试常考题型。
四、写作格式及范例
书信是日常生活中常用的文体，用以交涉事宜，传达信息，交流思想，增进了解的重要工具。书信一般可分为商务信件或公函（Busine Letter or Official Correspondence）和私人信件（Private Letter）两大类。考生写作时应注意遵循一定的格式和套用礼貌用语等。一般的来说，主要包括以下组成部分： 1.信头（Heading）

熟人和亲人常直呼其名，有头衔的可把头衔写放在名字前，如“Dear Prof or Madam。 Wang”， “Dear Dr Li”等；
若不知道收信人的姓名常用Dear Sir 4.正文（Body of Letter） 格式：
称呼下面隔
一、二行开始写正文。每段第一个字母要缩进3至5个字母的空格。正文是信的主要部分，内容要简单明了，一般不用同汉语信一样的“你好（how are you?）”之类的词。一般要开门见山，表明你写这封信的意图。 5.结束语(Complimentary Close) 结束语是写信人对收信人的谦称，写在正文下面

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am an ordinary student of this university and am writing to draw your attention to the fact that some students around me have had extravagant habits.
They do not cherish their money at all.Some buy expensive mobile phones and laptop computers, some spend money on video games or Internet chat, and some go to restaurants and bars often.
However, it is known to all that thrift and economy are a prime requisite of well ordered living and succeful career.To solve this problem, in my mind, the leadership and students of our university should work together to create a general atmosphere of thrifty life.Teachers should teach by their action that thrift is an indispensable virtue, and students of high awarene can have a positive influence on those around them.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ping Sample (2)
Dear John,
You asked for advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university.I will try making some suggestions.
University is preparation for your career.You should consider studying a subject which will best equip you to earn a living.Computer science offers more job opportunities than history.We are now in a high-tech age.For the foreseeable future, it would be neceary for everyone to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living.
Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else.I would recommend that you continue reading of history in your spare time.That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computer science.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck with your studies!
Yours sincerely,
