Dear manager,
I was a guest/customer at your restaurant last Saturday. I wish to refer you to the incident that happened that day, calling for your immediate attention to the matter.
It shocked me when I found a fly in a dish in the middle of our meal. I could hardly bear it. I felt sick. If it happens again, I am convinced that no one will come to eat here any more. It is advisable for you to tidy up/ clean up your kitchen as soon as possible.
Please give me your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely yours,

describe the book you want to borrow,
specify by when the book will be returned, and
express your gratitude.
Dear Jones,
I am writing to ask for your help in lending me a book.
Recently I’ve been busy preparing my graduate thesis, and therefore have been reading and researching numerous books and references. One of the books that my advisor believes to be particularly relevant to my thesis is called The Legal System in Society. Unfortunately I have been unable to find it at the library or in any bookstores. Do you happen to have this book? If so, may I borrow it? I promise to take good care of it and will return it to you within three days.
Thank you very much. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

写作注意事项：
1.审题要认真
短文的标题是对全文的高度概括。通过认真审题来确定标题的核心词或者说关键词,依此来整理思路。因此,考生看到试题后绝对不能提笔就写,而是应该认真审题,看清题目的要求和提示,充分利用题目所提供的信息、关键词所圈定的范围,在确立主题后再动笔。
如从标题 The Misery of Shyness 中得知,考生不但要解释说明 Shyness ,更重要的是要突出由 Shyness 带来的Misery 。至此,短文要重点阐述带来了什么Misery 。
2.文体要统一
正式文体的文章不宜用非正式的语句。有些考生在一篇很正式的议论文中用以下的句子做结语 OK, this is what I want to say.或是That’s my opinion. Do you agree with me？等等,使文章显得不伦不类。
3.主题要突出
标题如果是 Pollution from Cars 或 Air Pollution ,以下段落的阐述显得有些赘述 1 Part of this problem is the world’s exploding population. 2 A growing population undoubtedly means more factories polluting the air. 3 Besides, land and water pollution has also increased. 4 Pollution is, in fact, threatening our health, our happiness, and our civilization.尤其是第三句,还有点跑题。
4.文字要连贯
一篇好文章要注重连贯性。连贯性主要体现在句子与句子、段落与段落的衔接上,这种衔接要通过过渡词语来实现,以达到文章通顺,语言流畅。例如 It is clear that television news can vividly bring into us dramatic events of importance, such as wars, games and soon, but it can not cover important stories in detail they may deserve because of its time limitation. On the contrary, print news excels in its ability to devote as much space to a story as it sees fit, though it can not compete with television visually. Besides, television is essentially a passive medium. Such as, but, because of, on the contrary, though, besides 这些过渡词把句子从语义上连接起来,形成一个有机的整体,读起来犹如行云流水,自然酣畅。
5.内容要一致
要删除多余的词语,否则, 一是破坏了文章的一致性, 二是有凑字数之嫌。如
1 Scientists fear that nuclear energy will one day destroyus.2 They say that the explosion of a nuclear bomb can kill millions of people and cause disease and deformity in later generation.3 Because of limited energy resources, scientists are studying the possibilities of nuclear power.4 And any failure from a nuclear plant may cause enormous damage to the affected area5 What’s more, up to now people have not discovered a safe way to dispose of radioactive wastes.
本段中的第三句与主题不符, 也与第二和第四句不连贯, 应删除。
6.表达方式要多样化
词、句型使用的多样化不仅给文章增加了色彩和可读性,与此同时也可反映考生的词汇量和语言掌握的程度等。为避免文章平淡、呆板, 可使用不同的句式强调句、倒装句、否定句等等。长短句使用合理相间,用短句表达有力的结论,用长句体现严密的逻辑关系。考生在举例说明的段落中尤其要注意词语的多样性。
7.考点要覆盖全
无论是什么形式的写作都有写作内容上的要求,一般为三个方面。考生在动笔前一定要看清写作内容上的要求,以确保文章覆盖所有考点。
8.语言要流畅
评分标准已清楚地告诉考生文章要语言流畅、字句通顺、表达准确, 这是得高分的基础。
Last year the public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of animal care bills and furniture.1 It is difficult not to feel resentful about this when one considers what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty,2 and it is not unusual for me to get hot under the collar when I read about another old person who has left all his ／her money to a dog or cat home.
这两句在表达意义上用词十分到位,随着两个 when 引导的状语从句内容的递进,主句对表现气愤程度的加强通过用词的不同而表达得淋漓尽致；排比结构的运用使观点更加明确在1 中 It is difficult not 和 to feel resentful about this 与2 中的 it is not unusual 和 to get hot under the collar 词语表达极其准确。这需要考生在平时大量阅读文章时多注意积累好的语言表达。
9.首尾要呼应
上述几项被阅卷者称为闪光点 ,即加分的因素。除此而外, 更重要的一点是要注意文章的完整性,即首尾要呼应。
10.检查要到位
这个重要环节往往被考生忽略不计,而因为少了这个环节所造成的后果真可谓是功亏一篑。在阅卷过程中,时不时会发现 ourself、thinked、the person who are… ,而这些会酿成不良后果的错误完全可在一两分钟的时间内检查、修改完成。所以, 在写完短文后, 要耐心地再读一遍。
考研英语写作高分句式
考研英语写作高分句式一：短句拉长
考研作文在考研英语考试中占了30分，是不容忽视的部分。《考研英语大纲》把对作文 “语言”的要求放在了第一位，即：语言第一，内容第二，思想第三。各位考生要想在这一部分胜出，就必须在语言的“精美度”上下功夫。笔者建议大家时刻培养“亮点”意识，在考研作文中设置“语言亮点”，从而为获得高分打下坚实的基础。本文将为大家介绍考研写作的三大高分句式——短句拉长、插入语和并列结构。
高分句式一——短句拉长
在考研英语作文中，一般短句都可以拉为长句，而且，从理论上讲，一个句子的长度可以是无限的，但是出于实际情况，大家要学会写有限度的长句。
虽然《考研英语大纲》没有明确规定作文中长句的长度和数量，但是基于考研作文实战的需要，考生需要有一种“长句设置”意识，即通过在文中设置若干个长句，向阅卷老师展示考生对于复杂语言结构的掌握能力，从而征服老师的心，获得满意的分数。
写作要领
1.名词+形容词，+同位语，+定语从句；
2.动词+状语（时间、地点、目的、方式）。
实战举例
例1：Officials have built highways.
In recent years， responsible， hard-working and warm-hearted officials have built a great number of highways which have brought much convenience to the local citizens.
例1中短句拉长的步骤：
1.在句首，加上时间状语in recent years；
2.在名词officials前面加上responsible， hard-working， warm-hearted 三个形容词修饰它；
3.在名词highways后面加上定语从句which have brought much convenience to the local citizens.
例2：Factories have discharged gas and liquid.
The newly-built chemical factories have discharged harmful and even poisonous gases and liquids which have had a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment.
例2中短句拉长的步骤：
1.在名词factories前面加上两个修饰形容词newly- built和chemical；
2.在名词gases and liquids 后面上加上一个定语从句which have had a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment.
考研英语写作高分句式二：插入语
增加句式复杂性的另外一种方法就是使用插入语。中国学生写的英语句子喜欢一通到底，没有任何语气的间歇，像一根笔直的竹竿，因此笔者称之为 “竹竿句”。而英美人士写的句子则不同，他们偏爱插入语，通过插入语表现出作者语气的间歇和停顿。有了插入语，读者眼中的句子有一种跌宕起伏的感觉，这种句子像海浪一起忽起忽落，笔者称这种句子为“海浪句”。试比较：
Ancient men made tools out of stone. For instance， they always used flint because it is easier to shape than other kinds of stone. （不使用插入语）
Fortunately， however， ancient men made tools of stone， especially flint， because it is easier to shape than other kinds of stone. （使用插入语）
由此我们看出：英语句子要写得跌宕起伏才地道。考研的同学要在语言上下功夫，就必须学会写作“海浪句”，从而使自己的作文“波涛汹涌，错落有致”。
写作要领
1. 插入语可以是一个词、一个短语，或者一个句子；
2. 插入语多半用逗号跟其他成分隔开；
3. 插入语最好放在主语之后，便于掌握。
实战举例
例1：副词插入语——frankly， especially， fortunately， indeed， however
坦率地说，旅游可以促进国家之间的相互了解。
Tourism， frankly， may promote mutual understanding among nations.
例2：短语插入语——generally speaking （总的来说）， to tell the truth （老实说）， in a sense （从某种意义上说），in a word （总而言之）， strange to say （说来奇怪）
总而言之，家长不该无视电脑游戏对小孩的副作用。
In a word， parents should never lose sight of the side-effects of computer games on their children.
例3：短句插入语——I suppose， as I see it， I believe， what is important （重要的是）
在我看来，环境对人的性格有深远影响。
Environment， as I see it， has a far-reaching influence on one personality.
考研英语写作高分句式三：并列结构
使用并列结构写出精彩句式，请大家欣赏以下两个精彩的例句：
Studies serve for delight， for ornament， and for ability. （Francis Bacon）
学习可以怡情，可以博采，可以长才。（培根）
……government of the people， by the people and for the people…… （Abraham Lincoln）
……民有、民治、民享的政府…… （林肯）
写作要领
用and或者or 连接两个词性相同、意思相近的单词，就构成了并列结构。
比如：give support and assistance to……
……benefit from education and instruction.
……develop and promote economic growth.
实战举例
1.The American girl，dressed in a traditional Chinese costume and ornaments，indicates and symbolizes the multinational communication of cultures and customs. （选自2002年考研作文真题，一句话包含三处并列结构）
2.It goes without saying that the drawings aim at revealing a common and serious problem in China： how to educate and cultivate the young. Let誷 take a closer look at the drawings. In an ideal condition， the flower blooms. But when moved out of the greenhouse， it perishes under the rain and wind. It is obvious that flower grown in greenhouse can誸 withstand wind and rain. （选自2003年考研作文真题，一个段落包含四处并列结构）
“亮点句式”是考研阅卷老师定档次、给分数的主要凭据，所以希望同学们平时有意识地多训练自己“亮点句式”的写作，那么在考试中，获得高分就会水到渠成了。
