寫作指導
1．認真審題，明確寫作要求或目的。
根據寫作要求，可知這是一封詢問信。
1）瞭解詢問信的特點
詢問信的主要目的是尋求所需信息，通常包括以下三大方面的內容：
開頭段（引言部分）：自我介紹，表明寫作意圖，説明寫這封信的目的是尋求什麼樣的信息或幫助。 主體段（發展部分）：詢問具體信息，即就詢問的事項提出具體問題。
結尾段（結尾部分）：表達獲取信息的強烈願望，提供聯繫方法以便收信人與你聯繫，並對有關人員表示感謝。
注意：由於詢問有可能給對方帶來麻煩，所以措辭要謙虛、誠懇。此外，語氣通常比較正式、和緩，要充分表達感激之情。
2）掌握常用套句
開頭：

書信的格式通常由信頭、稱呼、書信主體、落款和署名等必要部分組成。
1）信頭：給親友寫信時，信頭裏只寫門牌號碼、街道名和城市名，以及寫信日期。如果是商務書信，信頭還應包括髮信人的公司名稱。 2）信內地址（可選）：多用於商務書信，在此處寫收信人的姓名、職務和地址。 3）主題（可選）：多用於商務書信。
4）稱呼：稱呼中所用的標點符號，英國式常用“，”，美國式常用“：”。 ① 正式稱呼：
a. 當寫信的對象為某團體、組織、機構或不知對方姓名的時候，一般是這種寫法：Dear Sir or (/) Madam,b. 當寫信的對象為某領導、上司、老闆或校長等上級的時候，一般是以下這種寫法： Dear Mr. *** （***代表姓）
Dear Ms. ***
Dear Mrs. ***（針對已婚婦女）② 非正式稱呼：
當寫信的對象是朋友或熟人的時候，一般是這種寫法：Dear *** （***代表名字，即 Given Name）
5）書信主體：要根據信件內容要求來進行細緻劃分——但都講求開門見山、不繞彎子，大約寫7－8句話即可。一般題目會要求寫三個信息點，所以針對每個信息點可寫兩句話，最後寫兩句禮貌用語，即可完成整個信件寫作。 6）落款和署名
根據寫的對象不同，也劃分為兩大類： ① 正式稱呼：
a. 當寫信的對象為某團體、組織、機構或不知對方姓名的時候，一般是這種寫法：Yours faithfully,b. 當寫信的對象為某領導、上司、老闆或校長等上級的時候，一般是這種寫法：Yours sincerely,注意：在美國英語中習慣寫為：Sincerely yours,
② 非正式稱呼：當寫信的對象是朋友或熟人的時候，一般是以下這種寫法：
Kind regards, Best wishes,
當然還可以有更多的寫法，如：With best wishes, 或All the best, 但常用的為以上兩種。7）附言（可選）：在正文後頭，附上需要補充的事項。 8）函內附件（可選）：在正文後頭，指明隨信附寄物件的名稱和數量。
另外，書信（尤其是商務書信）各部分在信紙上的分佈位置有不同方案：縮進式和齊頭式。 3．具體寫作步驟：
第一步：尋找關鍵詞（即題幹標註信息）。 第二步：思考寫作的架構。
一般而言，完成整個信件的寫作需要約25分鐘左右時間，可以先用2－5分鐘進行審題。用15－18分鐘行文，用1－2分鐘檢查。
1）稱呼：由於寫作對象是某旅行社，因此可以寫為：Dear Sir or Madam,2）主體：
① 開頭段（引言部分）寫法： 開門見山，表明寫作意圖 ② 主體段（發展部分）：
③ 結尾段（結尾部分） 表達獲取信息的強烈願望，提供聯繫方法以便收信人與你聯繫，並對有關人員表示感謝。按照英語信件的慣例，在信件最後要有一個禮貌的結尾（a polite ending）。
