How to write a letter
1. 信头：发信人地址和日期
这部分中有时可省去发信人地址，但一般要写日期。放在信纸的右上方。
2. 称呼：对收信人的尊称
最普通的是Dear，但与Mr，Mrs，Miss等不同的是：Dear后一般用名字，而Mr、Mrs、Miss后不能单独用名字，而只能是姓或姓与名，比如：对John Smith的称呼，应该是Mr Smith，Mr John Smith或 Dear John称呼后面可用逗号或者冒号。
3. 信的正文
4. 结尾：发信人对收信人的谦称或敬语，放在信的右下方。 这部分要特别注意英语习惯，不可根据汉语意思写上诸如“此致敬礼”、“祝您健康”之类的中国式的结尾语。常用的英语书信结尾语如下：
写给同龄人或年长的朋友： Yours sincerely, Sincerely yours, Yours,
写给好朋友： Love, With love, Best wishes, …
写给亲戚：Love, With love, Your (ever) loving son (sister…)
5. 签名：签名一般在结尾语的下面一行。
6. 常见的私人信件的开头方式：
高兴：I was so glad / pleased / happy to receive your letter.
感谢：Thank you for your wonderful gift / your interesting letter.
关心与询问：How are you these days / How are you getting on these days / How are you getting on with your work / studies
抱歉：I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these days.

P24
Dear Sir or Madam,
I believe that children should do some chores at home. I disagree that children’s only job is to study hard and do well at school. Of course it is important for children to study hard. However, I think it is unfair for children to expect their parents to work hard outside and do all the household chores, too. I think children should at least do some simple chores to help their busy parents.
For example, they should make their own beds and clean their own rooms because they are the ones who use these. They may not have time to help with the other parts of the house, but they should try to be responsible for their own area. This will help them to grow up to be independent and responsible adults.
Yours truly,
Chen Shi
