An Invitation Letter
Unit 1 Relationship Writing Workshop
文本分析
本节课提供了一篇邀请信。
文章开头首先开门见山亮出主题,指出5月10日将举行演讲比赛的决赛,希望MrJenson能够出席担任评委。第二段较为详细地描述了活动的背景。接下来的两个段落分别描述了之后活动的内容和活动的相关事宜,即Mr Jenson如果作为评委需要做哪些事情以及何时何地碰面商讨具体事宜。最后以再次提出邀请来结束整个邮件。
该语篇从词汇,句型,布局结构以及话题等方面都为写作提供了很好的范例。

Dear Ms. Smith,
I am writing on behalf of the school’s Student Union. As you may know, We are running a school-wide Chinese and Foreign Food Contest. So I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to help us judge the competition.
As scheduled,the contest will be held next Friday starting at 3:00 pm on the second floor of the school canteen.
Possible version
There will be 20 contestants who are required to demonstrate Chinese or foreign cooking skills with a wide variety of raw materials provided by the school.Of course,the flavor should be put in the first place when a dish is judged.However,the meaning which the cook conveys in the dish shouldn’t be ignored.And the detailed rules for grading are shown in the form which will be given to you on your arrival.
I sincerely hope you can come . If you have any question, please feel free to drop me a line.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
President, Student Union
