写作技巧
如何写英文明信片
明信片是一种不用信封就可以直接投寄的写有文字内容、带有图像的卡片,但投寄时必须贴有足额的邮票。明信片正面为图像,反面为信件正文及收件人的姓名、地址、邮编等。
英文明信片的正文通常包括以下内容:称呼(Greeting)、主体部分(Main body)、结束语(Close)和签名(Signature),具体格式如下:
1.称呼:自成一行,顶格写。称呼语常用Dear../Hi...等,称呼
之后一般用逗号。
2.主体部分:主体部分写在称呼的下一行。由于明信片的空间有限,因此要用简洁凝练的语言把意思表达清楚。
3.结束语:结束语位于主体部分的下一行,是对上面内容的简短总结或抒发某种情感。
4.签名:签名写在结束语的下一行,也就是写信人的姓名。
