距離最後的考試只有近兩個月的時間，最後的衝刺序幕正式拉開。英語複習到這個階段，最重要的就是作文。要想在最後的考試成績中脫穎而出，現階段就必須要把精力放在分值佔在30分的寫作上。
考研英語中大作文的要求是內容切題、表達清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語言規範。小作文考察點在信息點的覆蓋、語言的準確性、文章組織的連貫性上。
其中小作文佔10分，分爲求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請信、辭職信等等二十多種應用文。每個類別都有相對固定的.語言模式，都有固定詞語要求。
邀請信是爲了增進友誼，發展業務，邀請客人蔘加慶典、會議及各種活動的信函。邀請信分爲兩種：一種屬於個人信函，例如邀請某人共進晚餐、參加宴會、觀看電影、出席典禮等。另一種屬於事物信函，一般是邀請參加會議、學術活動等等。
格式：1、稱謂；2、開頭：向被邀請人簡單問候；3、交代時間、地點和活動內容、邀請原因等；4、參加活動的細節安排；5、聯繫人、電話、地址、落款、日期。
寫作"三步走"
邀請對方參加的活動的內容、時間和地點→與該活動有關的注意事項→期待對方接受邀請，並可表示感謝。
注意：
語言上寫給朋友，可選用活潑、真誠的言辭；寫給長輩、上級、名人等，語言則應正式、禮貌。

Directions: The Dean of the English Department knows that Prof. Robin is a famous scholar in British literature. As his assistant, you are asked to write a formal letter to Prof. Robin, inviting him for a short-term visit and to give a lecture.
Write the letter with no less than 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Wang Hua (Dean of the English Department)” instead. Do not write the address.
Dear Prof. Robin,
I am writing on behalf of the English Department to invite you to give a lecture in our college.
We know that you are an expert on British literature. We would be very grateful if you could give a lecture on “Contemporary British Literature” to the English Department on Sunday, April 8. If this subject does not suit you, any other similar topic would be welcome as well.
If it is convenient for you, would you please drop me a line to let me know whether you can come or not? We could be looking forward to the opportunity to benefit from your experience and wisdom.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Hua
Dean of the English Department
