Living wellTo learn to write a letter of suggestionThe structure of a letter1. The Heading
2. The Greeting
3. The Body
4. The Complimentary Close
5. The Signature Line信头是指发信人的地址和日期,通常写在第一页的右上角。行首可以齐头写,也可以逐行缩进写。地址的书写顺序由小到大:门牌号、街道、城市、省(州)、邮编、国名,最后写发信日期。私人信件一般只写寄信日期即可。 The Heading (信头)称呼是对收信人的称谓,应与左边线对齐,写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后,英国人常用逗号,美国人则常用冒号。在私人信件中可直呼收信人的名字,但公务信件中一定要写收信人的姓。大部分信件在称呼前加“Dear”。 The Greeting (称呼)正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是,英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语,再阐明写信的目的,而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的,然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时,应该直截了当、意思明确、层次清楚、言简意赅。 The Body (正文)书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,即先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍,并表明自己写信的主要目的。 公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分:发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行,第一个字母要大写,套语结尾后面要加逗号。 The Complimentary Close
(结尾礼词)在公务信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:
Yours truly, Yours sincerely, Respectfully yours等。私人信件中,发信人常用的结尾套语有:
Sincerely yours, Lovely yours, Your lovely, Your loving son/daughter等。写信人的签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信,签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草,不易辨认,因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。 The Signature Line (签名)The HeadingThe GreetingThe bodyThe complimentary closeThe signature line Sun Lei

Dear Mr Xue,
I learn from the local news that you are the architect who is to design the supermarket. A sample of a letter of suggestionI am writing to ask if you have considered the matter of easy use of the supermarket by people in wheelchairs. In particular, I wonder if you have considered the following things:
1. Width of aisles. Can you please make sure that the aisles are wide enough to allow wheelchairs to pass through? In some supermarkets the aisles are so narrow that a person in a wheelchair cannot move along them easily.2. Height of shelves. Can you please design shelves that can be reached by people in wheelchairs? In some supermarkets people in wheelchairs have to ask other shoppers to help them. This takes away their independence.
3. Lifts to other floors. Lifts could be in places that people in wheelchairs can get to easily. It is very difficult if lifts are right at the back of the shop and people have to go up and down the shelves before they get to it.4. Car parks. I hope you will leave some car spaces close to the front of the shop for people in wheelchairs. It is very difficult if they have to park a long way away from the shop and wheel themselves over rough ground to the entrance.Thank you for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to shop independently and they should be able to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will admire your supermarket if you design it with good access for disabled people. The supermarket owners will also be happy as more people will be able to shop there.
Yours sincerely,
Sun Lei【写作任务】
