在语言方面，应把语言错误降低到最低限度。
语言错误大致在如下几个方面：第一，主谓一致;第二，时态;第三，冠词的用法;第四，名词的单复数;第五，搭配问题;第六，单词的拼写。检查的时候，一般不要作内容上的修改。阅卷者根本不会意识到所加的话有多么重要，文章多一句话少一句话是不会改变阅卷者印象的。
根据考试大纲的文字来看，今年的应用文写作应依旧是书信的写作，希望考生能够把书信的格式进行进一步的强化。
应用文写作能力的提高不可能一蹴而就，必须经过长期的实践锻炼。重点要注意语域和格式两个问题。在复习阶段，应用文的写作，尤其是书信的写作要注意内容的格式安排，首先要熟悉不同类型的应用文写作格式，注意事项，写作特点等。其次要背诵大量的优秀范文，。再次，是要多动手写作，要写出属于自己的文章。

A Letter, to Quit
Jun 22, 2005
Dear Mr. Wang,
First of all, please allow me to express my deep sorry to you for my resignation. I do know that this will bring about much trouble to you so that I write to you for my explanation.
I decided to quit for some reasons as follows. To begin with, the job as an editor for the magazine Designs & Fashions is not suitable to me. What's more, I am preparing for another degree and I prefer to further my study. Again, I apologize for my resignation to you!
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Sincerely yours,

52. 参考范文
A Helpless Father
The picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father's negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father "roll into" their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.
Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four children's decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.
Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.
2008考研英语小作文范文
You just come back from canada and found a music CD in your luggage that you forget to return to bob,your landlord there write him a letter to
1)make an apology,and
2)suggest a solution
you shoule write about 100 words on answer sheet2
do not sign your own name at the end of the letter use"li ming" intetd
do not write the address
在以往几年考过了正式语言风格的辞职信、申请信和建议信后，此次小作文转换了写作信函的类型，考查了偏向于私人交流的道歉信。通过列举的提纲，又可以判断出信函不只是要求做道歉，还需要给出相对应的建议来解决问题。因此本题还是把道歉信和建议信混合在一起，只不过道歉的元素更多一些。
本文写作难度不大，因为在题目中把出事的原因结果都交代清楚了，考生只需要先道歉，重复发生的情况，描述是由于忘记归还,已把CD带回了国内。考生只在第二部分加以发挥即可，根据举一反三的原则，所提出的解决措施可以列出三个：快件寄回、赔偿费用或下次出国再归还。记住，提纲中的"a"一般要当作"两个以上"来处理，才能写出内容和层次。由于是道歉信的模式，开头道歉，结尾最好再道歉一次，主题就更加明确。
本文可以按三部分处理，首段直接道歉并交代情况来由，中段讲出解决问题的建议和措施，最后再次道歉并强化礼貌语气。
Dear Bob:
I have returned home from Canada now and I would like to extend my sincere thanks for your help in Canada. It has been one of my best vacations ever!
Back at home, however, I am surprised to find that I mistakenly brought one of your CD home with my luggage, the one which you lent me in summer vacation when I was preparing for a music course test. I am really sorry for this and I hope no bother has been caused because of my mistake. I decide to send it back to you as soon as possible, so would you please send me your current mail address so that the CD can successfully reach you soon?
I apologize again for my carelessness, and wish to meet you again soon!
Yours

范文为齐头式格式，由于属于私人信件，题目提供的房东的名字是Bob, 文章开始的称呼为 "Dear Bob"，语气比较随意，所以要按对待一个熟人的口吻来创作。第一段开门见山，使用"apologize for"结构直接表示道歉。为了不让信息零散出现，首段分别使用了"when"和"such...that..."串接信息。语法上，除了在"for"和"without"后面使用分词形式，最后一句使用了倒装虚拟语气结构"Had..., I wouldn't have..."，加强了自责和后悔的语气。
第二段按议论文模式设定了段首句，但并不需要使用繁复的序列分层语言，因为总的语气不需要太正式。提出的前两种方案用"either...or alternatively..."灵活列出。而第三种方案也是用"If you do not mind"来自然衔接。第二段中，动词"cherish"和"compensate"比较有特色。
第三段中，作者必须再次进行道歉。按照课堂上提出的"感谢客气不能少"原则，连续两次使用传达礼貌的句型。"Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience. I really hope you will accept my sincere apology."这是信函中表示道歉的经典句型，值得记忆并实践使用。
Directions: Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should

2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) give your comments.
You should write neatly on Answer Sheet 2.
文字说明："你一条腿，我一条腿;你我一起，走南闯北。"
2001-年轻人要培养爱心;2002-年轻人要把民族文化发扬光大;2003-年轻人要自立自强;2004-年轻人要坚持不懈;2005-年轻人要孝敬父母;2006-年轻人要正确看待偶像;2007-年轻人要充满自信;2008-年轻人要融入团队和集体。总之，看得出命题专家们对教育年轻一代的良苦用心。也正因为如此，最近几年的考研作文看上去特别容易推理，总不离长辈对年轻人的谆谆教导。那么，为了让80年代出生的年轻人不走弯路，道德素质成为久盛不衰的考点。
As is subtly portrayed in the drawing, two handicapped young men are heading towards their destination with vigorous strides, leaving all their crutches behind. The hardship of disability being no longer an obstacle on their journey, they support each other with firm hands and proceed steadily. The caption indicates that they can travel north and south extensively with combined legs.
正如漫画敏锐地描绘的，两个身患残疾的年轻人正在大步流星朝着他们的目的地前进，把拐杖都抛在了身后。残疾的艰难已经不再是他们路途上的障碍，他们互相有力地扶持着稳步前进。图画文字表明"你一条腿，我一条腿;你我一起，走南闯北"。
It is apparent that the cartoonist aims at reminding us of the importance of cooperation in our daily life. Hardly can anyone achieve success in his career without the assistance of his colleagues and partners. As competition in all lines of work grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through powerful team work. Take basketball hero Yao Ming for an example, he can slam the dunk smartly because all his teammates contribute more or less to his outstanding performance. Likewise, the successful launching of Chang'e No.1 lunar probe should be attributed to the Chinese scientists' joint efforts instead of inpidual accomplishment. If we work separately, we will be confined to frail minds and limited resources.
卡通画作者显然是为了提醒我们合作在日常生活中的重要性。如果没有同事或搭档的帮助，任何人都不可能在事业上取得成功。由于各行各业的竞争日趋激烈，我们只有通过强大的团队才能击败对手。以篮球英雄姚明为例，他能够潇洒地扣篮，是因为他的队友或多或少成就了他杰出的表现。同样，嫦娥一号探月卫星的成功发射要归功于中国科学家们的集体努力，而不是个人成就。如果我们孤立地工作，必然受到局限，变得意志脆弱，享受不到多少资源。
On the basis of the analysis above, we may draw a conclusion that cooperation and team work really count in this competitive society. Therefore, we should associate ourselves harmoniously with our companions in every attempt towards our goals. In addition, it is indispensable to train our kids frequently to interact smoothly with others in a team. As the proverb goes, unity is strength. (241 words)
在以上分析的基础上，我们可以得出结论：在竞争社会中，合作和团队极为重要。因此，在实现目标所做的每次努力中，我们都要和我们的同事们默契合作。此外，经常培训我们的下一代也是必不可少的，为了让他们适应在团队中顺利地沟通。正如谚语所说的，团结就是力量。
