雅思G类作文与A类作文同样需要考生给予相当的重视。今天，前程百利小编为大家分享雅思G类作文正式书信写作八步指南，希望对考生的备考有所帮助。
大部分日常写作都比较随意。社交网站碎碎念，节日贺卡或电子邮件都各有一套，写起来根本不费什么心思。
但有些场合，写作就得正规点。无论是写信给官方代表讨论重大问题，还是向企业老板提交求职信或业务建议书，你都应认真对待。在写正式信函或电邮时，以下几点可以借鉴。
1. Understand your purpose
明确目标
Why are you writing? What do you want the reader to do after reading yourletter? Do you want to change her mind or convince him to take a specificaction? Are you seeking forgiveness? Do you mean to complain about bad serviceor a faulty product? Are you trying to get hired? What’s the “ask”?
为何写信?你期望收信人看完后做什么?你想改变她的决意，还是希望他采取具体措施?抑或你在寻求宽恕?你要投诉糟糕的服务、劣质的产品，还是要谋取职位?你的“请求”是什么?
Once you know this, you can — and should — cut everything out that doesn’tserve that purpose.
一旦你明白以上问题，就能撇清所有无关痛痒的事了。
2. Identify your audience
定位对象
Knowing your audience helps you choose your language and target your ideas moreprecisely. I write differently in a letter to another lawyer than I do when theaddressee is a non-lawyer executive or even an elderly “pro bono” client. In aletter to the editor, your real audience is the publication’s readers—who arethey? Don’t use jargon that your reader won’t understand.
明确收信人身份有助于更精准地表达意愿。同一封信，我写给律师是一种措辞，写给非律师出身的总裁、甚或年长的慈善客户，又会是另一种措辞。写信给编辑部，刊物读者才是最终收信人——那么，他们是什么样的人呢?千万别用读者看不懂的术语。
3. Keep it short
短小精练
Most of us endure a constant flood of written communications, and we have alimited amount of time to spend reading it. You therefore have a better chanceof being read if you keep your letter to one page. A multi-page letter withlong paragraphs and complex sentences looks overwhelming. The busy reader willbe tempted to set it aside for when she has more time—and she might never getaround to picking it up again. Use short paragraphs, short sentences, shortwords.
多数人周围文字泛滥，根本无法全部读完。因此，人们倾向先查阅较短信函。厚厚一叠长篇大论看上去真的很恐怖。忙碌的人一般会先放一放，等有空再看——而这一等可能意味着石沉大海。所以，写信要简洁精练。
4. Use simple language
言简意赅
It’s the writer’s job to be understood. Even if your audience is highlyeducated, you should avoid big words and long, complex sentences. People aren’tstupid; they’re busy. Make our job easier, and we’re more likely to give yourletter the attention it deserves. Formal writing does not require the use ofbig words. Don’t try to sound sophisticated; try to be clear. Use “ask” insteadof “request.” Say “buy” instead of “purchase.” Instead of “enclosed herewithplease find,” just say, “I’ve enclosed” or “Here is. . . .”
信要让人读懂。哪怕收信人水平很高，也应避免使用行话冗句。人家又不傻，工作这么忙，干净利落点，事情都好办。正式信函不一定要讲套话，不必故作老练，讲清楚就行。用“请”，别用“恳请”;用“买”，别用“购置”;用“附上”或“以下是”，别用“随函附上，请查收”。
