距离最后的考试只有近两个月的时间，最后的冲刺序幕正式拉开。英语复习到这个阶段，最重要的就是作文。要想在最后的考试成绩中脱颖而出，现阶段就必须要把精力放在分值占在30分的写作上。
    
    考研英语中大作文的要求是内容切题、表达清楚、文字连贯、句式多变和语言规范。小作文考察点在信息点的覆盖、语言的准确性、文章组织的连贯性上。
    
    其中小作文占10分，分为求职信、祝贺信、道歉信、询问信、推荐信、感谢信、邀请信、辞职信等等二十多种应用文。每个类别都有相对固定的语言模式，都有固定词语要求。
    
    邀请信是为了增进友谊，发展业务，邀请客人参加庆典、会议及各种活动的信函。邀请信分为两种：一种属于个人信函，例如邀请某人共进晚餐、参加宴会、观看电影、出席典礼等。另一种属于事物信函，一般是邀请参加会议、学术活动等等。
    
    格式：1、称谓；2、开头：向被邀请人简单问候；3、交代时间、地点和活动内容、邀请原因等；4、参加活动的细节安排；5、联系人、电话、地址、落款、日期。
    
    写作"三步走"：
    
    邀请对方参加的活动的内容、时间和地点→与该活动有关的注意事项→期待对方接受邀请，并可表示感谢。
    
    注意：
    
    语言上写给朋友，可选用活泼、真诚的言辞；写给长辈、上级、名人等，语言则应正式、礼貌。
