邮件写作的本质:
清晰,高效
Effective email writing= formulaic patterns +clear thinking+ empathy
写作由一连串微决策组合而成。
写作前思考:
- 谁是收件人
- 写作目的是什么?
- 写作必须细节是什么?
注意事项:
- 邮件标题可有可无
- 如何称呼收件人
- 恰当分段
- 不超过200个单词(含标点符号)

写作是有任务的
第一段
graduate school
I am writing to request诉求
最重要的信息
第二段
时间+动作
Every mid-November we organized an employment promotion event.
college: 指的是本科学校 Harvard College
第三段
WHO is a dream institution for many.
irreplaceable
alumni
第四段
连贯: In an effort to follow their footsteps- 诉诸情感
写作点评
一个好的标题可以让收件人明了
WHO headquarters visit request from Peking University School of Public Health
写作时的逻辑跳步-
正文部分
突出问题1:错误理解邮件场景
突出问题2:内容不合适
细碎问题:
- college vs school vs university: Liberal Arts College ( Go to College)
- application(贷款,奖学金) VS request
- feedback VS reply/response
- P.S. 的用法 (署名后写)
场景中没给出的事实类信息(如:1月份参观) - 人名的写法
- 结尾处缺少致谢
Gratefully, Respectfully, Sincerely, Yours, Best Regards, Best
表达:
guided tour
accommodate somebody's needs满足某人需求
make arrangements for somebody
Itinerary 行程
句型:
I was wondering whether it would be convenient/acceptable/feasible to...
In an effort to do X, Y...
My schedule is highly/fairly flexible.
X means a lot/ a great deal to us.
