【實(shí)例分析】

假如你叫周明，在光明中學(xué)讀書(shū)，在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的過(guò)程中你遇到一些問(wèn)題，想得到老師的幫助。現(xiàn)在你給英語(yǔ)老師寫(xiě)一封求助信，內(nèi)容如下：

字?jǐn)?shù)： 120左右。

Dear teacher,

My name is Zhou Ming. Im writing a letter to you to ask for some help. I have met much difficulty in learning English. First, I find our texts full of new words that are very difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. Whats more, grammar is also very difficult to learn.

Faced with so much difficulty, I have to ask you for some help. Would you like to introduce to us some good ways to learn new words so that we can remember them more easily? In the meanwhile, I beg you to teach the text more slowly so that the average students can easily follow you. Also, I would like you to introduce some rules and good ways to learn grammar.

Im sure that I can make great progress in my English study with your help.

點(diǎn)評(píng)： 介紹自己在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中所遇到的問(wèn)題和需要向老師求助的角度時(shí)作者均能?chē)@生詞、課文、語(yǔ)法三個(gè)角度進(jìn)行，文章脈絡(luò)清晰，條理清楚，有較強(qiáng)的層次感。First, Besides, Whats more, In the meanwhile. Also等過(guò)渡性詞匯的準(zhǔn)確貼切使用使文章敘述更合理，思路更清晰，邏輯更嚴(yán)密，體現(xiàn)出作者文筆的老煉與成熟。Would you like to, beg sb. to do sth., would like sb. to do sth., Im sure等委婉句型的使用體現(xiàn)出作者的謙虛客氣，誠(chéng)懇樸實(shí)，并使文意顯得情感濃烈，真實(shí)感人。表達(dá)現(xiàn)階段在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)上遇到的困難時(shí)作者使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表達(dá)文意，符合求助信的時(shí)態(tài)特點(diǎn)。定語(yǔ)從句、目的狀語(yǔ)從句、賓語(yǔ)從句等高級(jí)表達(dá)方式的運(yùn)用增強(qiáng)了文章的表達(dá)效果，提高了文章的表達(dá)檔次。

【寫(xiě)法總結(jié)】

1．正確把握時(shí)態(tài)，保證語(yǔ)言準(zhǔn)確性

寫(xiě)英文求助信的原因就是目前自己在某一角度存在困難，因此應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表達(dá)文意，當(dāng)然描繪自己得到幫助后的進(jìn)步時(shí)應(yīng)用一般將來(lái)時(shí)表達(dá)文意。同學(xué)們一定要牢記求助信的這些時(shí)態(tài)特點(diǎn)，并增強(qiáng)錯(cuò)誤防范意識(shí)，養(yǎng)成錯(cuò)誤防范習(xí)慣，確保語(yǔ)言準(zhǔn)確性。

2．熟悉常用句型，提高文章整體美感

寫(xiě)英文求助信時(shí)首先得做自我介紹，此時(shí)可用My name is ... . Im writing to you for some help.或Im writing a letter to you to get some help.句型。接著可簡(jiǎn)要交待自己所面臨的困難，可用I have met much difficulty in ... .句型。請(qǐng)求對(duì)方做某事時(shí)可用Would you like to ... so that ...? In the meanwhile / At the same time, I beg you to ... so that ... . Also, I would like you to ... .等句型。展望獲得幫助后自己的進(jìn)步時(shí)可用Im sure with your help I can make great progress.句型。這些句型不但使用頻率高，而且語(yǔ)氣委婉，態(tài)度謙恭，符合求助信的語(yǔ)言特點(diǎn)。

3．貼切使用過(guò)渡性詞匯，提高文章邏輯性

列舉自己所碰到的困難時(shí)可用first, besides, whats more等過(guò)渡性詞匯。請(qǐng)求對(duì)方提供一系列幫助時(shí)可用in the meanwhile, at the same time, in addition, also等過(guò)渡性詞匯。這些過(guò)渡性詞匯是英文求助信特色過(guò)渡性詞匯，應(yīng)增強(qiáng)使用意識(shí)，養(yǎng)成使用習(xí)慣。

4．適當(dāng)使用高級(jí)表達(dá)方式，提高文章表達(dá)檔次

寫(xiě)英文求助信時(shí)除使用常規(guī)高級(jí)詞句之外，還可重點(diǎn)考慮幾處高級(jí)表達(dá)方式。表達(dá)“面臨巨大困難，所以只好求助”時(shí)可用現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語(yǔ)句型Facing so much difficulty, I have to ask you for some help.也可使用過(guò)去分詞做狀語(yǔ)句型Faced with so much difficulty, I have to ask for your help.表達(dá)請(qǐng)求對(duì)方幫助以便自己能夠有所進(jìn)步時(shí)可在一、二處地方使用so that或in order that引導(dǎo)的目的狀語(yǔ)從句。這個(gè)句型非常好，有很大的表達(dá)容量，它既可表達(dá)求助內(nèi)容，又能表達(dá)對(duì)方實(shí)施幫助后的作用，可謂一舉兩得。但必須注意的是，僅僅懂得這一點(diǎn)還不夠，同學(xué)們一定要下定決心，強(qiáng)化意識(shí)，非把這一句型用上去不可。
