would be most grateful. 投訴信 在人們的生活中經(jīng)常會(huì)發(fā)生一些事情,比如消費(fèi)利益受損、正常生活和工作受到干擾等等令人傷腦筋的事情,有時(shí)寫封投訴信(Letter of Complaint)不失為一個(gè)解決的辦法。 投訴信通常包括以下幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容:說明投訴的原因并表示遺憾;實(shí)事求是地闡述問題發(fā)生的經(jīng)過,切記不要夸大其詞;指出問題引起的后果;提出批評(píng)及處理的意見或敦促對(duì)方采取措施或者提出所希望的賠償以及補(bǔ)救方式。 寫作“三步走”: 說明投訴問題—描述具體情況—期待解決方案 Tips: 寫投訴信時(shí)語氣要冷靜、鄭重、克制,不必過于禮貌。但也要就事論事,不能進(jìn)行人身攻擊。同時(shí),在描述問題時(shí) 盡量采用被動(dòng)句式,使描述更加客觀合理。 Directions: You bought a digital camera in a store last week, and you have found that there is something wrong with it. Write a letter to the store manager to explain the problem, express your plaints and suggest a solution. You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.

During the five days the camera has been in my possession, problems have emerged one after another. For one thing, the screen is always black, making the camera no different from a traditional one. For another, the battery is distressing as it supports the camera?s operation for only two hours. Therefore, I wish to exchange it for another camera or declare a refund. I will appreciate it if my problem receives due attention. Yours, Li Ming 譯文: 尊敬的經(jīng)理: 我冒昧給你寫這封信,投訴我上周五在您商店里購買的數(shù)碼相機(jī)的質(zhì)量問題。購買至今的五天中,各種問題一個(gè)接一個(gè)地出現(xiàn)。 一方面,相繼屏幕總是黑屏,我們使用起來仿佛和傳統(tǒng)相機(jī)沒有區(qū)別。另一方面,電池的狀況也不盡人意,只能支持相機(jī)工作兩個(gè)小 時(shí)。因此,我希望可以換一個(gè)相機(jī),否則我要求退款。我希望這個(gè)問題能夠得到足夠的重視。 謹(jǐn)上, 李明 閃光詞匯及詞組: venture: v. 冒昧,斗膽 in sb?s possession: 擁有 emerge: v. 顯現(xiàn)出來 one after another: 一個(gè)接一個(gè) make sth no different from sth: 使…和…沒有區(qū)別 distressing: adj. 令人苦惱的,使人痛苦的 萬能句型: I venture to write to plain about… For one thing… For another… Therefore, I wish to exchange it for another … or I declare a refund. 詢問信 詢問信(Letter of Inquiry)的主要目的是尋求所需信息,通常包括以下幾個(gè)方面的內(nèi)容:首先表明寫作意圖,說明寫這封信的目的是要尋求什么樣的信息;然后就某一具體問題進(jìn)行詢問;最后表明獲取信息的急切心情,可以提供聯(lián)系方式以便收信人與你聯(lián)系,并表達(dá)你的感謝之情。 寫作“三步走”: 自我介紹、說明目的—具體詢問事宜—表示感謝、期盼回復(fù) Tips: 詢問信的語氣通常比較正式、和緩,要充分表達(dá)感激之情。同時(shí),相比較語氣直接的疑問句,用一些能夠起到提問 作用的陳述句更佳。 Directions: You and your family are planning for a trip to Hong Kong during the May holiday.
