尊敬的史密斯教授: 我是李明,英语系二年级学生。我谨代表学生会写信,诚挚邀请您担任我校即将举行的英语演讲比赛 评委。 比赛将于6月20日下午在第三报告厅举行。十二名决赛选手将各作一场三分钟的演讲,评委需就选手的流 利度、内容和表达等方面进行评分。您的点评对我们将非常宝贵。 如蒙您拨冗出席,我们将深感荣幸。请您回复告知是否方便。非常感谢。 此致 敬礼 李明
【第 1 段】礼貌称呼定调。Dear Professor Smith, 用尊称加姓开篇,一句话就把正式友好的语气立住,
落实了称呼块的功能。
【第 2 段】先身份后邀请。I am Li Ming, a sophomore … 先亮身份,紧接 I am writing to sincerely
invite you to serve as a judge … 直陈来意,开门见山不绕弯,兑现“亮身份再亮意图”的方法与直陈邀请
句架。
【第 3 段】四项细节到位。The contest will be held in Lecture Hall 3 on the afternoon of June 20th
给出时间地点;Twelve finalists … three-minute speech … judges are expected to rate their
fluency, content and delivery 交代形式与职责,把抽象的“details”逐项落地。
【第 4 段】委婉收尾留接口。We would be honored if you could join us 委婉抬高对方,Please let
me know whether you are available 请回复,Thank you very much 致谢,三句话干净收尾。
【第 5 段】假名落款不出错。Yours sincerely, 后署 Li Ming,严守不得署真名的硬要求,格式块闭合。
A N A L Y S I S · 审题与立意
这道题到底要写什么、立意是什么
动笔前先钉死本题的核心写作任务与读者语域 ,再定中心立意与要展开的要点 —— 这些
是本题特有的内容判断,不是通用套路。
核心任务
邀请外教当演讲赛评委
核心交际任务是inviting him/her to be a judge for the upcoming English speech contest,并且
You should include the details you think necessary。一句话钉死:以学生身份写信邀请外教担
任即将举行的英语演讲比赛评委,且要把比赛的必要细节补齐,不能只写一句空邀请。
读者 · 语域
写给本校外教·正式友好
读者是a foreign teacher in your college,写信人以学生 Li Ming 的身份出面。师生关系、跨文
化、又是有求于人的邀请,语域要正式而友好:称呼用 Dear + 尊称/头衔 + 姓,措辞礼貌委
婉,不能像跟同学聊天那样随意直呼其名或用生硬祈使句。
中心立意
诚邀外教出任评委
本信的交际目的:礼貌地邀请这位外教担任学校即将举行的英语演讲比赛评委,并让对方掌握
做决定所需的全部信息,从而促成其答应。全文每句都应服务于inviting him/her to be a judge
for the upcoming English speech contest这个目的。
要展开的要点
1. 开门见山发出邀请
先自报身份(学生 Li Ming / 学生会),再直接说明来意:诚邀对方担任本校英语演讲比赛的评
委。对应任务点inviting him/her to be a judge for the upcoming English speech contest。
2. 补齐比赛必要细节
落实You should include the details you think necessary:自拟但合理地交代时间(如 6 月 20
日下午)、地点(如某报告厅)、比赛形式(若干选手各作限时演讲)与评委职责(就流利
度、内容、表达等打分点评),让对方能据此判断能否参加。
3. 表达期待致谢请回复
结尾用委婉句式表达希望对方能拨冗出席,感谢其考虑,并礼貌请对方回复告知是否有空,收
束全信、留出互动。
S T R U C T U R E · 谋篇与逐段
怎么分段、每段写什么、能套哪些句架
按写作家族给出现成的段落框架(每段承担什么功能),并为每段配可直接套用的 功能
句架(留出填本题内容的空位)。段序与上方参考范文一一对应。
第 1 段
称呼
对外教的正式称呼,用 Dear + 头衔/尊称 + 姓,奠定礼貌语气。
第 2 段
自我介绍+发出邀请
表明身份,开门见山说明来意——诚邀对方担任英语演讲比赛评委。
第 3 段
补充比赛细节
交代时间、地点、比赛形式与评委职责,落实You should include the details you think
necessary。
第 4 段
表达期待与感谢
委婉表达希望对方出席、致谢并礼貌请其回复。
第 5 段
落款署名
客套结束语加指定署名,收束全信。
第 1 段
Dear + 尊称 + 姓
如 Dear Professor Smith,——一个礼貌、正式、指向明确的称呼即可。
正式称呼
· Dear + 头衔/尊称 + 姓,(如 Dear Professor ___,)
第 2 段
自报家门+邀您当评委
说明自己是英语系学生 Li Ming、代表学生会,随即发出邀请:诚邀对方担任即将举
行的英语演讲比赛评委,紧扣inviting him/her to be a judge for the upcoming English
speech contest。
自我介绍
· I am ___, a ___ from ___.(如 a sophomore from the ___ Department)
直陈邀请

第 3 段
时间地点+赛制职责
自拟合理细节:如 6 月 20 日下午在某报告厅举行,若干名选手各作限时演讲,评委就流利
度、内容与表达等方面打分点评,兑现You should include the details you think necessary。
交代时间地点
· The ___ will be held in ___ on ___.
说明赛制职责

expected to ___.
第 4 段
盼出席+请回复致谢

请回复致谢

R E V I E W · 自检避坑
本题在四个评分维度怎样算达标、容易在哪丢分
按阅卷四维(内容切题 / 结构连贯 / 语言准确 / 字数格式)给出本题达标要点,并把最容
易踩的低分写法摆出来 + 给改法 —— 这是写作版的「狠拆诱人错项」。
内容切题
邀请+细节+致谢齐全
本题达标要点是既写出邀请,又落实You should include the details you think
necessary;最易失分处是只写一句邀请、细节空缺,导致任务点缺失。
结构连贯
三段正文层次清楚
邀请、细节、致谢三段各司其职、顺序合理,称呼与落款齐备,不把所有内容挤成一
段。
语言准确
邀请句式得体正确
用 invite you to serve as a judge、would be honored if you could 等正式邀请句式,
措辞友好;避免 want you come 这类中式直译错误。
字数格式
约百词·假名·不写地址
须写成约an e-mail of about 100 words的邮件,落款遵守Do not sign your own
name at the end of the letter,并注意Do not write the address。
典型低分写法 · 反面示例与改法
误签真名
反面示例:结尾写成 Yours sincerely, Wang Lei(签了真名)。这违反Do not sign your own name
at the end of the letter,应改为 Yours sincerely, Li Ming。
只邀请无细节
反面示例:I invite you to be a judge. Thank you.——只有邀请、没有任何细节,违反You should
include the details you think necessary。应补上:The contest will be held in Lecture Hall 3 on June
20th, and judges will rate the contestants' performance.
中式逐字直译
反面示例:I very want you come to be our contest judge.(逐字硬译、语法错)。应改为:I
would be grateful if you could come and serve as a judge for our contest.
写成议论文或加地址
反面示例:开头先写一大段“With the development of society, speech contests are becoming more
and more important …”式议论,或在信头写上学校地址。前者偏离邀请邮件文体、稀释任务点,后
者违反Do not write the address,都应删去,直接进入邀请正文。
