8、写电子邮件要直接,并多用短句,以使意思清楚。(3)根据邮件正式与否选择合适的结尾。与书面信函不同的是,email的结尾可以不署名,尤其是给朋友、同学等熟人时,同时无须写出时间;邮件末尾客套用语通常也只需要一两个词,如Thanks, Best wishes等。学技巧(1)邮件第一段使用unbelievable与amazing,向对方说明了兵马俑栩栩如生,令人称奇,cant wait to do sth. 意为“迫不及待地要做某事”,展示了作者的迫切心情。(2)第一段运用了不定式短语作目的状语(to see the Terracotta Army),宾语从句(Ive heard that),it作
9、形式主语而that从句为真正的主语(Its amazing that)以及notuntil句型(no one in modern times until the 1970s),这些高级结构及句式的运用写出了兵马俑的令人向往之处。学逻辑邮件第一段作者首先介绍自己在中国的情况,然后介绍了十一假期期间打算去西安看兵马俑,最后介绍了兵马俑的一些情况,思路清晰。在叙述时使用了并列连词and,使得前后衔接自然。第二、三段使用了副词also和从属连词because、并列连词and和so,使得文章前后衔接紧凑。学语言1Ive heard that it is an amazing sight, and I c
