【经典范文】
Dear Michael,
As one of your closest friend, I’m writing the letter in order to recommend one of my favorite movies to you—Around the World in Eighty Days.
The primary factors for my recommendation are as follows. For one thing, this is a science fiction movie which tells us an exciting story about an English gentleman, Mr. Phileas Fogg, who makes a bet with his club mates and managers that he can travel around the world in eighty days. For another, it gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey.
Hope you watch and enjoy the movie. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Ming

作为你最好的一位朋友，我写这封信是为了向你推荐我最喜欢的一部电影——《八十天环 游地球》。
我推荐的主要原因如下。首先，这是一部科幻电影，讲述了一位英国绅士激动人心的故事。 菲力·弗格先生跟他的俱乐部伙伴打赌在八十天之内环游地球。其次，电影生动地描述了他在 旅途中遇到的困难和发生的故事。
希望你观看并喜欢这部电影。期待着你的回信。
【要点解析】
① Dear Micheal，
私人信件里，朋友之间一般直呼其名，而不用“某某先生/女士”这样的称呼。由于非正式文体，在行文当中可以夹杂个别口语式表达。
② As one of your closest friend, I’m writing the letter in order to...
朋友之间通信，直接开门见山说明目的，无需自我介绍。其中短语“in order to”表目的。
③ The primary factors for my recommendation are as follows.
推荐信的经典套话，意在表明如下的内容是推荐理由。“the primary factors”意思是“主要原因”。
④ For one thing, ...For another, ...
逻辑连接词，“首先......其次......”，用于分点陈述。
⑤ it gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey.
万能套话，用于电影、小说之类的推荐，用来说明主人公的精彩经历。
⑥ Looking forward to your reply.
信件常用结尾，期待对方来信。短语“look forward to”，表示期待，期望。同样的表达还有：
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I am looking forward to your favorable replay at earliest convenience.
