    3.信封的寫法
    注意：考試中的書(shū)信作文重在測(cè)試考生的書(shū)面表達(dá)能力，而不是書(shū)信的格式，因此試題往往只要求考生寫出正文部分。書(shū)信作文的命題形式一般是給出英語(yǔ)或漢語(yǔ)的寫作提綱或其它指令性要求。
    寫作能力培養(yǎng)的途徑：
    1、總結(jié)“復(fù)習(xí)指導(dǎo)”一書(shū)中“寫作”一章內(nèi)5年考研寫作參考作文的基本框架和常用句型。
    2、準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)小本隨時(shí)記錄所讀到的優(yōu)秀句子、句型，并經(jīng)常背記。
     3、對(duì)照參考作文的英漢文本，總結(jié)兩種語(yǔ)言在表達(dá)統(tǒng)一思想時(shí)的異同，然后朗讀、背記；
     4、改寫（加長(zhǎng)或縮短）書(shū)中或講義中的參考作文，注意段落結(jié)構(gòu)。
