I. Cách viết một bức thư bằng tiếng Anh cho bạn

1. Các bước viết lá thư tiếng Anh cơ bản

- Heading - Phần tiêu đề hay còn gọi là tên của bức thư

- Inside address - Phần địa chỉ bên trong thư - Bao gồm thông tin người viết, ngày tháng, tên và địa chỉ người nhận.​

- Body - Phần thân của bức thư - Trình bày rõ ràng, mạch lạc thông tin mà bạn muốn chuyển tới người đọc.​

- Complimentary close - Phần cuối thư - Thường sử dụng những cụm từ như: Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Yours truly, kèm theo chữ ký và họ tên đầy đủ của người viết.

1.1. Heading

Heading hay còn gọi là tiêu đề. Phần này sẽ là tên của bức thư mà bạn muốn gửi. Viết về chủ đề nào thì tên tiêu đề theo chủ đề đó.

1.2. Inside address

- Thông tin người viết: Địa chỉ, điện thoại, fax hay địa chỉ hòm thư (e-mail) được đặt đầu thư, ở chính giữa hoặc bên phải bức thư.Tránh dùng tên riêng của bạn trừ khi đây là thư từ cá nhân vì khi viết thư giao dịch, người viết thường dùng tên công ty.

- Ngày tháng: Trong tiếng Anh bạn nên chú ý khi viết ngày tháng. Người Anh sẽ viết ngày trước tháng sau (04/ 02/ 2000) còn người Mỹ lại viết tháng trước ngày sau (02/ 04/ 2000). Để tránh hiểu nhầm bạn nên viết đầy đủ thứ ngày tháng năm như: 4 February 2000 hoặc February 2nd, 2000). Cách viết này không chỉ tránh nhầm lẫn mà còn lịch sự hơn cách chỉ dùng số.

- Tên và địa chỉ người nhận: Cách trình bày tên, chức danh, tên công ty, và địa chỉ giao dịch của đối tác (người nhận) giống như cách bạn trình bầy tên công ty của bạn và các thông tin liên quan ở đầu thư. Chỉ có một điểm khác là những thông tin về người nhận được đặt ở bên trái thư hay vì bên phải hay chính giữa.

- Cách xưng hô đầu thư: Ví dụ: Dear Mr. Smith Dear Mrs. Smith Dear Miss Smith Dear Ms. Smith Dear Sir Dear Madam Dear Sirs Dear Gentlemen

1.3. Body

- Phần thân của bức thư được trình bày thành khối với những đoạn văn mạch lạc , rõ ràng trình bày thông tin mà bạn muốn chuyển tới người đọc. Đầu dòng sẽ bắt đầu từ lề trái, không thụt vào như cách viết thư trước đây.

- Đây là phần nội dung chính, nói chi tiết theo chủ đề mà bạn viết.

1.4. Complimentary close

- Phần cuối thư nếu giao dịch với những người bạn không quen, người Anh thường dùng những cụm như: Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Yours truly.

- Kèm thêm chữ ký và họ tên đầy đủ của người viết.

- Trong trường hợp có tài liệu gửi kèm theo thư, bạn có thể viết cuối thư ghi chú về số lượng tài liệu gửi kèm. Ví dụ: Enc: 2..

2. Một số lưu ý khi viết thư bằng tiếng Anh

- Không viết tắt: Phải viết đầy đủ I am, I will, I have seen, I do not, … không được viết I’am, I’ll, I don’t, I’ve seen.

- Không sử dụng từ thông tục, tiếng lóng, các từ thân mật ví dụ như: wanna, kid, dad, mate… trừ các bức thư đã quá thân mật.

- Hãy lễ độ dù cho đang bực tức: dùng Dear ở đầu thư, và dùng please khi muốn yêu cầu.

- Hãy viết cho ngắn gọn, nhưng đủ ý. Câu văn cũng vậy, ngắn, không dùng câu phức với 3, 4 mệnh đề (complex sentense). Câu phải có đầy đủ subject, verb, direct object và indirect object nếu có.

- Hãy nhớ dùng và dùng chính xác các dấu chấm câu: chấm, chấm phẩy, phẩy, dấu hai chấm. nếu 1 ý chính có nhiều ý phụ, dùng dấu gạch đầu dòng. Hạn chế dùng hoặc tuyệt đối không dùng dấu chấm than (!).

- Cuối thư: Regards, Best Regards, Hai cách này dùng thông dụng trong nhiều tình huống. Sincerely Yours, Dùng trong thư xin việc, thư khiếu nại, thư mời vì mang nghĩa “chân thành”. Faithfully Yours, Dùng trong thư trả lời của nhà cung cấp cho khách hàng, vì mang nghĩa “trung thành”.

II. Các mẫu thư tiếng Anh theo chủ đề

Topic 1. Viết thư đưa ra lời khuyên bằng tiếng Anh

Dear Lisa, 

Thanks for your letter! It was great to hear all your news. I was very happy to read that you wanted to visit Portugal this summer.

If you want to have a relaxing holiday by the sea, I would recommend my favourite place, Lagos. It’s a traditional fishing village on the south coast, and not many tourist go there. It has many reasonably-priced hotels, and excellent beaches nearby. The sea is very clean and wonderful for diving and snorkelling.

You asked me about what clothes and equipment to bring. If I were you, I would pack very little – a swimsuit, some T-shirts, and shorts for the beach. My advice is to travel light, so you can fill your suitcase with souvenirs to remind you of Portugal!

I hope that you’ll enjoy yourself in Lagos. If you want to know anything else, just drop me a line.

Best wishes,

Rosé

Topic 2: I went to the concert last night with my friends...

Dear Oanh,

Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was lovely to hear from you. I am sorry, I haven't written for you such a long time because I studied hard to pass the final exam. However, I had a great weekend more than every when I went to live concerts last night with my friends. Now, I am writing to tell you how the wonderful concert is.

It is the beautiful concert I have ever taken part in with many people and the miracle of sound of piano. As you know, my pianist is Yiruma and in last concert I couldn't believe that he appeared in my eyes and gave me a big hug after his performance. I also listen a soothing music which is played by him and other professional musicians. Only when I heard his song from the stage I feel anythings around me seem to disappear and I can fly with many stars on the sky to forget all my fears which I suffered before. That is amazing.

Let's come back to my live concert. It is so cool and until now I can't forget my feeling about it. Do you often to go live concerts? What kind of music do you like listening to? Who is your favorite singer?

I am glad if you tell me about it in the next letter.

I look forward to your reply.

Your sincerely,

Topic 3: We had dinner at a new restaurant yesterday....

Dear Oanh,

Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was lovely to hear from you.

I think the restaurant which you told me in the letter is very interesting. I also like to eat out and I usually go to a restaurant for dinner with my family twice a month. Our favorite restaurant is a traditional restaurant in Hang Bong street. It is not big but it is always busy. There are only a few tables in the restaurant and on each table is a vase with lovely flowers. There are plants in the room corners. I usually order the traditional dishes and eat them with rice. For example, fish cooked with sauce, spring roll,...and vegetable and so on. The food is delicious so we enjoy it very much. The service is also quick and friendly . My family always have pleasant evening at our favorite restaurant.

Shall we go there when you come to visit my family next time?

See you next time.

Mai

Topic 4: Tell me about a teacher from your past.

Thank you for our class' photo you sent me a few days ago. I was so glad to write for you and tell you about my feeling after I receive it.

That photograph made me remember my old teacher who taught us high school. She is slim with along hair and blue eyes. Do you remember her? Our English teacher, her name is Sara. I can't forget that days when she played game with us in each class and we sang Animal songs together. I also remember that She was very sad when our class didn't do homework and we felt so guilty with her. Then we studied English hard to fix our mistakes and she was so happy. But now she doesn't still teach English in Vietnam. Ha, our classmates said she came back England with her husband. I hope she would come to Vietnam, I will meet her because I miss her so much. What about you? What do you think about her? Have you ever had the old teacher who made you unforgettable?

Please tell me in next letter. I look forward to your reply.

Mai.

Topic 6: Can you describe the weather in your country?

Dear Oanh,

It is so wet here. I am writing to tell you about the weather in my country. In my country, it is in spring with high humidity. My country is a tropical monsoon climate. Broadly speaking, the weather in Vietnam is featured by two monsoon seasons the southwest monsoon from April to September and the northeast monsoon from October to late March or early April. Moreover, the northeast monsoon effects bring lower temperatures to my city, Hanoi and all days in Hanoi is in rain. In fact, I am fed up with rainy day because I can't go out to shopping with my friend. Only thing I can do in these days is writing letter for you and tell you about the terrible weather here. All my clothes can't be dry and the way I go to school every day is daubed with mud.

Lovely,

How are you? I hope you are fine. Don't worry about me. I am fine. Pass my greetings to yours parents. Now I'm in my summer holiday so that I have a lot of time to do what I want. You can't believe that last week I had a wonderful visit to Vincom tower where I saw Titanic in 3D. It was such an interesting experience that I could see that film in 3D. Everything seemed to real. I was also moved by the content of the film. It is an epic romantic disaster film. It is fictionalized based on the account of the sinking of the Titanic. Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet stars in this film as members of different social classes who fall in love abroad the ship during its ill – fated maiden voyage.

It's a little bit silly when I cried a lots in the end of film, because the female actor was dead. It's worth watching so you should see film soon. Let me know your feeling when seeing this film.

Love,

Mai

Topic 11: Tell me how you keep fit and healthy.

Dear Oanh,

I was very happy after receiving your letter. Thanks for your praise. Are you putting on weight? Don't worry. I will help you not only to lose weight but also to have a fit and healthy body. I think the first you had better avoid foods high in fats like cookies, fries,.. You also try to limit amount of animal protein consume. I really little eat meat. I eat a lot of vegetables, fresh fruit which are full of fiber and vitamin and drink enough water daily.

The second effective measure is to do exercise frequently. You can walk or jog in the morning or afternoon everyday. Moreover, playing sports is also very good for health, especially it is very efficient to lose weight. In addition, you can join some clubs for examples as dance sport or aerobic clubs. If you want to have a fit and healthy body, you should have regular daily routine. I think losing weight will be difficult if you use suitable measures. I hope that these experience are helpful for you.

Good luck,

Mai

Topic 12: I know you've just come back from holiday. Tell me about the holiday.

Dear Linh,

How are you? Thanks for your letter. I am so happy because you always miss and think of me. I have just come back home from Hue. In this trip, I went to by train because it is cheap and safe . That was a really interesting trip. Hue is known for its beautiful imperial architecture and wonderful natural beauty, especially the length of history of Nguyen dynasty. I think that Hue is the only city in Vietnam that still has restored historic beauties with of walls, places, and royal tombs. Everything in Hue city make me impressed and surprised. Perfume rives is very poetic and peaceful. It always make me feel comfortable and relaxing. In this trip, my father and I were on a boat in this river to listen to hue songs every night. The melody of Hue songs is always very special. I love Hue songs very much. The trips lasted 2 days. In the first day, we went to visit Tu Duc tombs. It is a large and bulky structure. We spent all day to discover this historical Structure. There are a lot of famous tomb in Hue but because os limited time we only visited Tu Duc tombs. The following day, we came to Thien Mu pagoda. This pagoda was built in the 14th century and is placed on Ha Khe hillock area near the perfume river. It is also known as Linh Mu pagoda. This is one of the most beautiful and acient architectural structures for reverence in Hue. After that, we went around the city by cyclo and enjoined some special food of hue. I had a lot of memories in this trip and I hope I will have more times to visit Hue in the future. And you? Have you ever visited Hue city? Let me about your impression about Hue.

Lovely,

Mai

Topic 13: Tell me about your favorite sport.

Dear Linh,

Thanks for your letter. I'm glad to know that you and your family are always healthy and happy. Now I feel healthier and more comfortable, too. I think that is the result of doing exercise frequently. These days, I usually jog around the park near my house every afternoon. Most of time, I work in the office. It will be not good to sit a fixed place. Thus I determined to do exercise more frequently to keep the body healthy and the sport which choose is jogging.

I enjoy jogging a lot because jogging helps me to be fitter and more enduring. I think jogging gives us a lot of benefits not only for body but for mind. It is the most efficient way of achieving fitness through exercise and burns more calories because it is a high impact exercise. Jogging is also very good for your heart, improves the muscle tone and strength, and relieves stress, beside also deal with heart disease.

I usually spend 2 hours to jog every afternoon with my friends. We often make appointment each other at Thong Nhat Park to do exercise together. It is much happier than doing alone.

And you, what is your favorite sports? Can you share you thinking about it?

Lovely,

Mai
