题型描述: 阅读理解
If you want to be taken seriously in the business world, you must understand how to write a proper letter. Donˊt use big words: use everyday language. The word ″per″ is often used in business communication. Itˊs not a real word! Donˊt use it. Use short words, and short paragraphs. Space your paragraphs evenly and cleanly for a more professional look. The average paper can hold 66 sentences: use this guide as you format your letter, so that the bulk 大部分) of the words are nicely centered. Think about when your letter is going to reach its recipient. You donˊt want your letter to get lost in the end-of-the-month bills. A letter that arrives on Monday is less likely to be read carefully than one that arrives on Tuesday. A good tip: include the words ″you″ or ″your″ as one of the first three opening words. Why? It draws the readerˊs attention to the letter! The only thing better than this is opening with a referral (提及) to a mutual acquaintance (熟人.), as in ″Liu Deming suggested that I write to you.″ Readers also love stories--particularly humor--and anything in quotes. Quotation marks catch the eye, and make the letter look more inviting. Sign your letter legibly, so that your name can be read clearly. Nothing says ″egomaniac″ like a big, ugly scrawl (潦草的笔迹).
