近些年来，各地高考英语书面表达多采用书信类题材。书信类作文是要求考生以书信形式向别人传递某种信息、表达一种态度或者说明某件事情。

书信类首句写作时重点掌握以下两点：

一、人称定位---第一人称

书信总是以第一人称出现，因而写作时常用这样的词汇或句型

I’m writing to ...

I‘m so glad that you....

Sample 1

Dear Ms Jenkins,

I'm Li Hua from your English writing class last term. I'm writing to ask for your help.

Sample 2

Dear David,

I’m writing to invite you to the lecture on Chinese calligraphy

which is the art of writing Chinese characters and especially

refers to the rules of writing with a brush.

Sample 3

Dear Editor,

As a student reader, I am writing to talk about the English textbooks published by your house.

Sample 4

DearJack，

Thank youfor your letter asking about our discussion on low-carbonlifestyle.

二、使用非谓语中动词不定式表达写信的目的，即某种类别的书信

Sample 1

Here，I‘m writing to thank you ...

to thank you不定式短语表示感谢--感谢信

Sample 2

Dear Frank:

I am writing to apologize that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week.

Sample 3

一句话，写作书信的首句时必须完成两项任务：

1、我在做什么？

2.我写信的目的是什么？
