A Letter of Reply
Dear Li Ming，
I'm very glad to hear from you. Concerning my plan after graduation, I will probably continue my study as a postgraduate.
I have the following reasons. First of all, a higher degree and better educational background will give me an edge on the fierce competition of job-hunting because the fact that millions of college students enter the job market annually makes it difficult for us to find the job we want. Besides, as far as I am concemed, knowledge is, undoubtedly,an invaluable treasure of human being, and we should make full use of our youth to learn as much knowledge as possible. Of course, staying in the Ivory Tower doesn't suggest that l will be cut off from society. Instead, I will get involved in social and practical activities in my spare time.
Taking all aspects into account, I choose to further my study and get a master's degree.
Many thanks for your concern. Best wishes!
Your sincerely,
Wang Lang

【技巧点拨】
英文书信一般由以下六部分组成：信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。
1.信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期， 一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。
2.信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。
3.称呼是对收信人的称谓，应与左边线对齐，写在收信人姓名、地址下面1-2行处。在称呼后，英国人常用逗号，美国人则常用冒号。
4.正文是书信的主体。与中文信件不同的是，英文书信的正文的开头不是先写一些问候语，再阐明写信的目的，而是直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的，然后提出写信人的情况、想法或要求，并加以必要的解释或说明。英文书信陈述目的时，应该直截了当，意思明确，层次清楚，言简意赅。
5.公务信件的结尾礼词包含两部分：发信人的结尾套语与署名。结尾套语写在签名上面一行，第一个字母要大写，套语结尾后面要加逗号。
6.签名常位于结尾礼词正下方一二行。除非是给很熟悉的人写信，签名一般须写出全名。签名常常较潦草，不易辨认，因此在签名的正下方须打印出全名。
