　　3.私人信件的正文

　　1）开头

　　常见的私人信件的开头方式有：

　　表示高兴：I was so  glad/pleased/happy  to  receive your letter dated May 1st.

　　表示感谢：Thank you for your wonderful gift/your interesting letter.

　　表示关心与询问：How are you these days？/How are you getting on these days？/How are you getting on with your work/studies？

　　表示抱歉：I am sorry that I did not write to you sooner but I have been very busy these days. / I am sorry that I have not written to you for such a long time，but let me assure you that you have always been in my thoughts.

　　一般在表示道歉没有及时给对方写信时，还要简述原因或写上安慰的话。

　　表示遗憾：I was sorry to learn that you did not do well in the entrance examination. / I was so upset to hear that you are ill these days. I do hope you are getting better.

　　2）信件主体

　　这部分内容是最自由的，与汉语书信没有什么区别。私人信件一般文体很随便，可以写任何你想写的内容。

　　3）结束信件

　　常用的话语有：

　　I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

　　I am afraid I have to stop now but I will write again.

　　Please give my regards to your family.

　　Take good care of you and keep in touch.

　　最后，需要介绍一下邀请信的写法。邀请信是一种社交信件。随着越来越多的外籍老师来我国学校执教，有时学生举行一些社交活动，常要邀请外籍老师前来参加。因此，学会写英语邀请信是很有实际意义的。

　　英语邀请信的要点是：（1）邀请对象（2）活动时间（3）活动地点（4）活动内容（5）询问是否接受邀请。
