怎样写好推荐信

安徽泗县一中 吴安运

◎文体概述

推荐信是一个人为推荐另一个人去担任某个职位或参与某项工作而写的信件。推荐信虽然会因为推荐人的不同而在内容上有不同的侧重点，但模式上大体来说还是有规律可循的。一封推荐信应该提供如下信息：写信人是谁，写信人和被推荐人的关系，被推荐人的个人信息、资格、能力，为什么要为他/她写推荐信。此外，还应该包括写信人的联系方式，以便用人单位可以了解和确认情况。

推荐信一般分为四个部分：①交代事情；②提出被推荐的人或物；③推荐理由；④表达感谢。

【试题解读】

1.审题立意

该篇书面表达的命题思路采用的是应用文的考查形式，写作任务是要求考生根据提示写一封回信。书信式体裁为高考中广泛使用，既体现了高考命题的稳定性，也体现了高考命题中突出语言应用性的特点。

从测试内容上来看，是要求以李华的身份给英国朋友Jim回复邮件，谈论来北京留学的择校问题，并建议他做哪些准备。

从提示上来看，题干并没有给出具体的备选大学介绍，试题的写作要点也没有给出具体的细节，而只是宽泛的提示，所以具有很大的开放性，要求学生结合自己对北京一些大学的了解罗列出有用的写作素材，合理组织好语言。因而，该写作任务提醒考生写作的灵感往往来源于生活，我们平时应多关注生活，在生活中不断积累写作素材，这样才不至于在写作中无话可说。因试题已经给出了书信的格式，所以考生不必考虑和担心书信格式的正确与否，可以直接根据自己的写作安排展开写作。

2.写作要点

（1）信件开头简短的寒暄；

（2）推荐学校；

（3）说明为对方推荐该校的理由；

（4）给出具体的准备建议。

3.注意事项

（1）推荐学校应以自己对该学校有较好的了解为基础。

（2）所给出的理由应具有说服力。

（3）所提建议要具体并合理。

亮点分析：本篇习作的作者向对方表达了欢迎之情并推荐了北京大学，文章所给理由充分，不但说明了该大学有很多与中国文化相关的专业可供对方申请，满足了对方的兴趣，是海内外莘莘学子梦寐以求的知识殿堂。而且还提供了具体的准备建议。文章内容丰富、行文流畅、结构清晰。全文多处使用复杂句，分词作状语的使用、主从复合句的使用、虚拟语气的使用等都体现了作者较全面的语法知识，而extend、no doubt、 option、related to、dense等高级词汇的使用也体现了作者扎实的语言功底。总之，该篇习作是一篇不可多得的高考满分作文。

亮点分析：本篇习作语言自然地道，符合书信的写作特点。文章看似十分简洁，但含有丰富的内容。本文的最大亮点就是not only...but also...及其部分倒装句的使用，介绍推荐对方北京外国语大学的原因，让读者对该校有十分细致的了解，很好地达到了写作的目的。文中 earnest、satisfying、integrate、fulfilled、psychology等高级词汇的使用体现了作者丰富的词汇。meanwhile、anyway等过渡词的使用更是让文章浑然一体、结构紧然。总之，该篇习作很好地完成了写作任务，不失为一篇佳作。

①文章开头不拖泥带水，直入主题。并且表达欢迎和祝愿，简洁明了地完成了题目的第一点要求

②该句一个非限制性定语从句，其中使用了a perfect combination这一表达方式，说明了北京外国语大学将中国文化与外语完美结合，是针对对方的情况和兴趣做出的推荐。

③该句用not only...but also...连接了作者推荐北京外国语大学的理由，具有否定意义的not置于句首时，句子应采用部分倒装。另外该句中巧妙地运用了integrate into、fulfill等高级词汇。

④该句用作过渡句，用动名词作主语，很自然地引出了下一个写作要点：给出具体的准备建议。

⑤该句用the more...the more...的句式阐明了建议对方多了解中国习俗的必要性。

⑥用meanwhile作过渡词引出另一建议。
