签证申请过程中会涉及很多信件,包括推荐信,解释信,说明信,等等。所有这些信件或信函的写作都应该遵循基本的写作原则。
一般信件写作原则(tips & strategies)
- Keep It Short and To The Point (简短切题) Try to never exceed one page or you will be at risk of losing your reader
- Make It Clear, Concise, and Logical (清晰,简要,有逻辑) point-form
- Focus On The Recipient’s Needs (关注阅读者的需求) What essential information does that person need to know
- Use Simple and Appropriate Language (表达简短恰当) As much as possible, use language and terminology familiar to the intended recipient
- Use Short Sentences and Paragraphs (使用简短的句子和段落) don’t let paragraphs exceed three or four sentences
- Review and Revise It (检查修订) Put yourself in the place of the addressee
- Double Check Spelling and Grammar (注意拼写和语法) A letter is a direct reflection of the person sending it, and by extension, the organization that person works for.
签证信件基本写作原则:
简洁,避免冗长;
清晰,一目了然;
客观,避免overdo;
干脆,避免重复;
一定要简短,重点突出,条理清晰。简短不等于简单,冗长不代表有水平。
