建議信是書信的一種形式，屬於應用文。建議信是寫信人向收信人就某事提出自己的建議或忠告，有可能是寫給個人，就收信人遇到的某個問題提出自己的看法和觀點；也可能是寫給某個組織或機構，就改進其服務等方面提出建議或忠告。
【寫作指導】
首段：一般指明提建議的初衷。
中段：圍繞問題，婉轉地提出有針對性且具有說服性的'建議。注意充分考慮對方的實際情況，表達時用語要得體。
尾段：簡單予以希望。希望自己的建議能對對方有所幫助，同時闡明你所提供的建議僅供對方參考。
注意：
★ 時態應以一般現在時爲主。
★ 由於是給別人提出建議，所以人稱應該以第二人稱爲主。

Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to hear that you are lonely in a new school because you find it hard to make friends because of your shyness. Now I’d like to offer you some t of all, it is normal for you to feel lonely because you are living now in a new environment. Second, you should greet your teachers and classmates when
meeting them on campus. Third, it will be a good idea if you often express your ideas in class and take an active part in class activities, which can help them learn more about you. I believe you are sure to make new friends soon if you show your friendliness to others.
I hope everything will be fine with you in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
