建议信是向收信人就某事提出自己的建议或忠告的一种文体。可能是就某个问题主动提出的建议,也可能是根据求助信息给出的回信的建议信。写信时要写明写信的原因、建议的内容、提出建议的理由,提出的理由要合情合理,语气一定要委婉和缓。想要写好一篇高分建议信,要注意以下几个问题:
一、建议信的正文通常采取“三段式结构”:
首段(Topic sentence——your point of view):一般指明建议的前提和事情的原委,对自己的立场做一些解释。
中段(Body——your advice):围绕问题,结构清晰、科学委婉地提出有针对性的建议。注意充分考虑对方的实际情况,选择得体用语。切忌用语生硬强制,泛泛而谈。
尾段(Conclusion——your wishes):简单予以希望。希望自己的建议能对对方有所帮助。
二、审题要素
1.确定文体:这是一篇应用文,是学生熟悉的书信,写作中应注意书信的常规格式。
2.主体时态:文章应以一般现在时为主。
3.主体人称:由于是给别人提出建议,所以人称应该以第二人称为主。
4.内容要点:①问题介绍;②建议一;③建议二;④建议三;⑤我的愿望。
5.注意恰当使用连接词,使各个要点之间逻辑连贯,行文通顺。
