新東方教材里提供的范文寫成：
I wonder if you have a vocabulary book covering the words required for IELTS, as well as past examination papers with keys and model essays. Besides, how should I pay for these books-by cash, cheque, or any other means? If possible, I would like to use my credit card. Finally, how will these books be shipped and when is the approximate time I can receive them? The express mail is preferable if the additional charge is not too much.
這一段文字緊咬提綱，逐條說長，干條條之間，連貫銜接，密不透風(fēng)。其思路具有極強的可操作性，建議同學(xué)們用心體會其中妙處，加以背誦。
看2005年書信真題：
Directions:
Two months ago you got a job as an editor for the magazine Design ＆ Fashion. But now you find that the work is not what you expected. You decide to quit. Write a letter to your boss, Mr. Wang, telling him your decision, stating your reasons and making an apology.
Write your letter with no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on Answer Sheet 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter, use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address.
這道題主體段落主要是說明辭職的原因，也就是對reasons這個上義詞進行下義拆分，一般辭職的原因無非：懷才不遇，工作太累，工資太低，人際關(guān)系復(fù)雜等。列出來三個，對他們進行具體話擴展，工作累到什么程度，工資低到什么程度，人際關(guān)系復(fù)雜到什么程度，試寫如下：
Three reasons have persuaded me into such a decision. To be frank, I feel rather disoriented at my job because to be a journalist interviewing celebrities has long been my dream. I simply cannot sit still at the office! Though you promised me at my recruitment you would transfer me to the Interview Department in one month, yet two months has passed and there seems no sign of any change. Besides, the wage you offer me is so surprising low for my devotion to the Magazine that I am now even considering from whom to lend money to pay for my rent! Last but not the least, I am not interested in the office politics here, and most of the time, I feel quite out of place.
估計這樣寫，辭職肯定會等到批準(zhǔn)啦。
禮貌性的套話，一般都是焦急等待著您的回信I am looking forward to your reply足以，或者I would appreciate it if you could send a replay at your earliest convenience也行。
正文的語言大綱要求注意語域，其實就是使用正式體，這在選詞時要注意，比如不要用縮寫，不用口語詞，比如：Please inform me if it’s OK.要改成Please inform me if it is ready等。
