    二、命题解析
    
    今年小作文相对简单，预计全国平均分5－6分之间,略高于07年的4.93分。自2005年开考小作文以来，今年第四次考察了书信这一题型，再次印证了考研小作文的重点还是书信作文,而备忘录、摘要、报告、告示只需简单准备即可。
    
    05年考察辞职信＋道歉信,06年考察请求信,07年考察建议信。今年则再次考察了道歉信,充分表明真题是考研的根本,写作也不例外。只要充分重视真题，,必将受益匪浅。我们的写作教材中附有教育部公布的历年真题高分作文,历年经典句型均可借鉴。
    
    需要注意的是,根据08年教育部最新大纲，考研小作文无需书写日期,最好使用缩进式,段间不空行，每段首行缩进4－5个字母。称呼需要顶头写,由于题目中出现了人名，写成Dear + 人名即可。正文中务必客气,礼多人不怪。表示感谢的句型不可或缺,感谢房东对你的热情照顾。同时表示道歉和提出解决方法两点提纲务必写到。
    
    落款写在稿纸中间偏后的位置，Yours sincerely,或Sincerely yours，均可,注意大小写和逗号。署名要写Li Ming,不能出现自己的真实姓名。
    
    三、参考范文
    
    Dear Bob,
    
    I am a tenant from China who had been living in your house in Canada for two weeks. I am writing the letter to inform you that I wish to extend my sincere apology to you.
    
    First and foremost, I take this opportunity show my heartfelt appreciation to the kind assistance you render me during my stay in Canada. In addition, I borrowed one CD of Beethoven''s symphonies from you in Canada. Unfortunately, when I returned home, I found to my surprise that CD in my personal baggage due to my carelessness.
    
    To solve the problem, I would like to send this CD to you by Express Mail Service. Once again, please accept my sincere apology for any inconveniences I have caused. I hope the settlement of the matter will meet your wishes.
    
                                                       Yours sincerely,
    
                                                                  Li Ming
