2013考研英语（一）应用文点评（沪江网校提供）

2013年考研英语（一）应用文（小作文）仍然考察信函，要求给外教写封邮件，邀请他来做英语演讲比赛的评委。

既然是信函，那么首先要注意对信函格式的把握，注意开头称呼语和最后的落款。其次，内容应该包括必要的细节。这需要大家发挥一下想象力，思考一下邀请对方做演讲比赛的评委需要告知对方哪些细节，比如为什么要邀请他，比赛的时间地点在哪里等等。

在文章布局上，建议分三部分展开。开头直接表明自己的身份和写信目的；第二部分描述细节，告知比赛的时间地点等。第三部分强调迫切期望对方能够参加并期待对方答复。

参考范文：

Dear professor,

I am writing on behalf of the School of Foreign Language of Peking University to invite you to be a judge for the English speech contest to be held in our university.

We know that you have lots of experience and do have an eye for the brilliant performance in English speech contests. We would be appreciated if you could spare your time on Friday, May 10. The contest will be held in the auditorium from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Judges to be invited include another two professors who are very familiar to you.

We hope that you will accept our invitation if it is convenient for you. Please contact us at 1234567 if you have any question.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
