小作文在考研英语的试卷中占据了10%的比例，相对于大作文，小作文比较格式化、比较套路化，相对而言，在这部分广大考生更容易得分。那么如何在这部分取得高分呢？必须在三个方面做好工作，格式、语言点的分布等。

称呼：如果写给不认识的人：Dear Sir or Madam, To Whom It May Concern. 写给认识或熟悉的人：性别+姓：Dear Mr. Wang, 性别+职务：Dear Mr./Ms. President.职务+姓名：Dear President Wang.

正文：考研应用文一般有三点提纲，即三个内容要点。所以，应该严格按照大纲要求写成三句，每句表达一个提纲要点，顺序不能打乱，做到文字清晰，简明准确。书信作文一般由7-8句构成，使用3-5个从句，首尾两段可以套用一些固定句型。

落款：落款包括结束语和署名两个部分，结束语言是表示礼节的套语，写在正文下面两三行处的右侧，从中间写起，第一个词的开头字母要大写，末尾用逗号。一般用“Yours sincerely”，根据考研大纲，署名一致为Li Ming, 注意千万不能写自己的真实姓名。还有，考研书信类不要求写日期。

最后，希望2013年的考生一定要注意看清题目，不要急于动笔，先认真整理思路，列个提纲，以做到心中有数，不至于慌乱！
