Написание личного письма на английском языке
В правом верхнем углу укажите дату письма:
June 4th, 2012 4 June 2012 или менее формально: 04/06/12.
Под датой, пропустив строку, необходимо написать адрес в кратком виде, например:
Moscow , Russia
Письмо начинается с неофициального обращения. Если в задании имя вашего собеседника не указано, его следует придумать:
Dear Tim,( Dear Rebecca,) После обращения нужно поставить запятую!
В первом абзаце вам следует поблагодарить своего друга за его письмо:
Thanks (a lot) for your (last) letter. Your last letter was a real surprise. I was glad to get your letter. It was great to hear from you! / It was great to hear that… / I was happy to hear… Вы можете также извиниться за то, что не писали раньше: Sorry I haven’t written for so long but …/ Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long. I’m sorry I haven’t answered earlier but I was really busy with my school. и/или упомянуть какой-либо факт из полученного письма: I’m glad you passed your Maths test! Sounds like you had a great time in Krasnodar! Great news about your…!
2. Основная часть письма (2–3 абзаца). В ней вы должны ответить на вопросы, указанные в задании. Также задать свои необходимые вопросы. Предполагается, что письмо должно быть написано в неформальном стиле, поэтому вы можете использовать неформальные слова-связки, такие как by the way, anyway, so, разговорные выражения типа Guess what? Или Wish me luck!, а также восклицательные знаки.
3. В последнем параграфе объясните, почему вы заканчиваете письмо:
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.
Anyway, I have to go now because my Mum asked me to help her with the washing up.
I’ve got to go now! It’s time for my favourite TV show.
и упомяните о дальнейших контактах:
Write (back) soon!
Take care and keep in touch!
Drop me a letter when you can.
Hope to hear from you soon.
I can’t wait to hear from you!
В конце письма на отдельной строке указывается завершающая фраза-клише. После нее всегда ставится запятая!
Love,
Lots of love,
All my love,
All the best,
Best wishes,
With best wishes,
Yours,
Warm regards,
На следующей строке указывается имя автора (без фамилии!). Знак препинания не ставится!
