英语应用文写作学习总结
在当今全球化的浪潮中，国际交流与往来日益频繁，因此能否克服语言差异所带来的合作与交流障碍，已成为制约一国在经济文化领域中发展的一大关键因素。而英语作为联合国常用工作语言之一，作为全世界使用范围最广的一个语种，对它的熟练掌握与运用已被提至最高议事日程。作为一个企业，面对来自全球各地的供应商与关系客户，公务往来上的语言差异对公司的发展有重要影响，稍有不慎，一份暗藏玄机的合同就可能置自己于不利境地―――因此熟练掌握英语应用文写作能力对公司、个人的发展都有着至关重要的作用。正是在这一背景下，中文系开设了英语应用文写作这门课程，作为行政管理方向的必修课程，对拓宽同学们今后的就业渠道，提高毕业生就业成功率与就业层次皆有重大的促进作用，务必得到同学们的重视和认真对待。
实用英语应用文写作分为书信类应用文写作和非书信类应用文写作两类。其中书信类应用文写作又分为感谢信、邀请信、求职/学信、投诉/索赔信、推荐/介绍信、祝贺信、道歉信、预订/确认信、问讯/请求信和简历１０个小类。而非书信类应用文又包括６类：文书类应用文，如：证明、毕业文凭、录取通知、护照等；招贴类应用文，如：启事/公告、通知/海报、便条、广告、日程安排等；宣传/介绍类应用文，如：简介/指南、摘要、目录/索引、天气预报等；备忘类应用文如：合同、备忘录、收据、借条等；通信类应用文如：传真、电子邮件、电传等；其他类应用文，如：报告、前言、演讲等。
在这些具体小类的英语应用文写作学习过程中，盛老师充分调动同学们的积极性，先请同学们上黑板 写出该类应用文的常用句型，然后加以点评，在进行了格式说明后又亲自进行写作范例的演示，在老师的生动示范（通常都伴随着老师的亲身经验以及对同学们的谆谆告诫和殷殷期盼）中同学们掌握了写作的基本流程，然后又在自我操练中使实际写作能力得到了较大提高。
