【正文】 行文技巧中國學生的寫作重點往往不是提供個人資料，說明自己的基本情況，而是一味強調(diào)自己申請的原因和自己的需求。例如：We lack the technology, we need is carrying out reform……So we need his

，對自己的評價應本著實事求是的原則，充分說明自己的客觀情況，不要夸大其詞，過分標榜，要能使人閱后感到真實可信，否則只能適得其反。另外，中國學生偏好以情感人，喜歡用一些私人化的非正式的表達方式。例如： I would be very happy and hope we will be able to keep in touch in the 。寫作時語言表達應該正式，譴詞造句要平實具體。說服勸誘策略求學申請信的目的在于是收信人了解申請人的要求和與此相關的情況，以便對方做出有利于申請人的決定，為了達到這一目的，一般采用自我推銷或自我評價策略（selfappraisal），而中國學生常常采用自我美化（selfglorification）、吹捧對方和自我貶低策略（selfdegradation）自我美化策略：申請人極力美化自己。例如：I am a graduate in mining engineering having a shining academic record in my have been given admission in the graduate school, university of…,USA… 這種自我評價主觀性強，缺乏可信度。吹捧對方策略：申請人極力吹捧對方學?；蛘咂渌鶎賴?。例如：I have secured first division marks(Grade B)in the said exam and on the above basis I intend to plete my further studies in the field of Medicine in My loving great country, ，對對方百般恭維，這樣反而給人留下不好的印象。自我貶低：申請人常常希望通過對其經(jīng)濟困難的描述來博得對方的同情。例如： I belong to a third world country…Due to this feeling of immense kindness and generosity of Americans both literally as well as practically, I a needy student is able to pen down this request for financial assistance in education.… the education abroad is very expensive and we cannot afford it… So, I request your honor to please support a poor student financially, so that he can bee a bright mind for humanity…申請人企圖以情感人，不是對對方百般恭維就是對自己妄自菲薄，這都不會給對方留下好印象。所以在寫申請信時，申請人在態(tài)度上應坦誠真摯，不卑不亢，這樣才會起到積極的效果。以上簡述了中國學生在寫求學申請信時常犯的錯誤，希望能引起大家的重視。總之，在寫求學申請信時，既要按照一定的格式，遵循一定的要求，又要避免落入俗套，同時寫出個人的優(yōu)勢和特點。附：求學申請信樣新正文部分
