112 May 2026 — Dear Uncle David,
2How are you? I have some exciting news to share with you. Last month, I won second prize in the school writing competition! I could not believe my ears when our teacher called my name. My essay was about a flag-selling day with my classmates. We raised over two thousand dollars for the children's hospital.

3School life is busy but fun. I am practising basketball every Tuesday and Thursday, and I can almost do a lay-up now. How is Auntie Mary? Is my little cousin learning to walk now? Please send me a photo of her. I also want to ask about your new job in the city. Grandma misses you, and she is teaching me to make dumplings.
4Give my love to Auntie Mary and the baby — we all send our love from Hong Kong. I must finish my homework now. Please write back soon and tell me all your news — your letters always make me smile. Best wishes to everyone at home. Yours, Marco

3逐步講解 Steps
- 格式考點是友好書信的五部分格式：右上角寫日期，然後是稱呼 Dear 加名字，接著是正文，最後是結語與署名，例如 Dear Tom, ... Best wishes, Ann. 五個部分缺一不可，版面整齊，閱卷老師一眼便能看清。方法是寫前默記五部分的名單，寫完逐項點數。易錯之處是次序錯亂或漏寫署名，格式分便有損失；日期、稱呼、正文、結語、署名，五項齊全才是合格的書信，這是書信題的底線。
- 首段考點是首段的寫法：以問候與近況開場，例如 How are you? I miss you very much. 先問候對方，令讀者感到親切，再帶出寫信的原因，例如搬了新家或轉了新學校。方法是問候一至兩句便轉入正題，不宜冗長。易錯之處是首段便把所有事情說完，中段反而無話可寫；首段只負責問候與點出寫信緣由，事情留到中段慢慢說，層次便分明，讀的人也覺得舒暢，這是書信的節奏。
- 中段考點是中段的寫法：中段是書信的主體，說出自己最近的事情，例如 I moved to a new school. It is big and beautiful. 一封信說一至兩件事便足夠，每件事配一句細節或感受，內容就充實而不散亂。易錯之處是把五六件事擠在一段，每件三言兩語，讀來浮光掠影；倒不如集中寫一兩件，寫得具體，例如新學校怎樣大、怎樣美，朋友讀了才有畫面，書信才有感染力。
- 尾段考點是尾段與結語的規範：尾段送上祝福，並邀請對方回信，例如 Please write back soon. Best wishes. 結語常用 Best wishes、Love、Yours，下一行寫署名；祝福與署名各佔一行，版面才整齊美觀。易錯之處是結語與署名擠在同一行，或漏掉邀請回信的一句；請對方回信是書信的禮貌，也是結尾的自然收束，這一筆不可省，寫完再看一眼版面，整齊才交卷。
- 日期格式考點是英文日期的寫法：日加月份加年份，例如 12 May 2026，寫在信紙右上角、稱呼之上。日子用數字，月份用英文字並大寫首字母；寫成 12th May 2026 也可以。方法是全信採用同一種寫法，前後一致。易錯之處是月份細寫，例如 12 may 2026，或次序混亂寫成月份在前；日期是書信的第一印象，寫得準確而工整，整封信的格式便有了好的開始，這一分最穩妥，也最不該失。
- 非正式語氣考點是友好書信的語氣分寸：寫給朋友與家人，語氣輕鬆而不失禮貌，例如 How are you? I miss you. 可以用縮寫 I'm、don't，也可以用感嘆號增添暖意。方法是想像對方就坐在面前，用說話的語氣下筆，自然便親切。易錯之處是語氣過分隨便，用了粗俗字眼；友好書信依然要有禮貌，親切與尊重並存，這才是給朋友寫信應有的態度，也是語氣題的評分要點。
