本次四级考试的写作部分把近年来的“反押题”趋势表现得“淋漓尽致”，煞费苦心的命题人居然搬出了近十年没有出现的应用文写作。这再次提醒同学们，在往后的备考过程中，对写作部分的关注不应在题型（如图画作文、引言式作文等），而更应是题型背后要考查的对英语写作文体的掌握（如议论文、记叙文等）。在六级写作方面，虽然本次考试没有出现同学们熟悉的引言式作文及图画作文，但经典话题全面回归，如科技与生活、在线学习等，只要考前对这些热门话题有所准备，本次六级写作的难度其实并不大。鉴于多数同学对应用文写作较为陌生，以下以本次四级考试的感谢信为例，稍作分析, 请同学特别关注书信的格式。

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to express your thanks to one of your friends who helped you most when you were in difficulty. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

谋篇布局：

第一段：写信目的＋原因简述

第二段：感谢的具体原因（可以具体事例阐述）

第三段：再次表示感谢＋有机会会给对方回报

Dear Benz,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your help when I was in trouble. You are always by my side when I encounter the difficulties.

It reminds me of last month when I caught a bad cold and the final exam was right in the corner. At that time, I was worrying about the lessons because I had to stay at home for a week and you were busy with your study. However, what surprised me most was that you came to my home after school one day and helped me with every subject. Thanks to your sincere help, I didn’t fall behind in the exam. 

Finally, I would like to thank you again for your kindness. Even though you are to about to go abroad for further education I know that I will always stay in touch with you. I wish you every success in the future and I hope we can exchange more viewpoints on study. Please keep in touch and the distance never keeps us apart.

                                   Sincerely yours,

Li Ming
