【答案解析】[参考范文]
Dear Mr. Robinson,
Receiving your school"s admission made me very happy. I will go to your school in September on time. However, there are a few questions I want to ask you. I wonder if there are reception personnel who will meet me at the airport and what kind of transportation means you provide. And, could I have a separated room with a kitchen? I hope I can be arranged into a class with students from different countries.
I am sorry to bother you with so many questions. I will be very glad to receive your early reply.
With best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming
[解析] 写英语书信的时候我们首先要注意书信的格式。除了注意书信的格式外，我们还要简单了解一下语域(register)方面的要求。
1．根据写作对象确定语域，通常给正式的机构写信就采用正式的语域，给朋友写信就采用非正式的语域。
举个简单的例子，比如这么一句话“请告诉我你能否参加下星期的会”。
如果是你和朋友有一个简单聚会的话，你可以这么写：Let me know if you can come for the meeting next week. 如果写信的对象是朋友以外的组织机构、你的上司或者陌生人的话，你得这么写：Please kindly inform us of your availability for the meeting to be held next week. 其中，用了一个难词availability和一个不定式的被动语态。
假如现在是邀请一个朋友来共度周末的话：How about coming down to stay with us for the weekend? 假如是邀请合作伙伴或者领导之类的人，像刚才这么说，语域上就不太合适了，你可以说：We would like to invite you for the weekend. 或者We would appreciate it if you could come for the weekend.
2．另外，正式和非正式的重要区别之一就是有没有省略。正式的一般不能省略。
比如你给上司买了一张票，希望他到你那里去取，你应该说：I would like you to come to my office to pick up the ticket. 写给朋友：Come to my office for the ticket.
3．另外一个重要区别是有没有缩略语。
I would like to(正式)
I"d like to(非正式)
