2017年考研英语二，小作文考察的是一封邀请信的回函，要求写作内容包括： 1、接受教授邀请给留学生做有关中国文化的presentation(介绍/演示)。 2、提供介绍内容的关键信息。

从内容上看，2017年考研写作手法也秉承了以往考研英语二小作文的思路----多种文体结合。此次写作完全可以写成一个感谢开头结合内容介绍的格式，思路简单但操作略有难度。写作过程中最难的地方在于有关中国文化的关键信息，对考生的基本功有一定要求。要完美的将此题答完，你需要工工整整的写大约100词于答题纸上，并且一定记住署名为“Li Ming”，而且不能写地址。

开头结尾： 首先，英文书信的格式是固定的。格式为： 第一行左，顶格写收件人，Dear Professor Williams, 结尾落款写两行，居右: 　　Yours sincerely, 　　Li Ming 然后，就可以设计正文部分了。这部分可分成三段，第一段为写信目的，第二段为原因阐述，第三段为客套期待回复等。

第一段为两句(寒暄+目的)：因为是写回复，所以可以把寒暄设计为“很高兴收到你的来信”，I am glad to hear from you.因题干中给出的要点必须点到，所以，常理上第一段解决第一个要点，第二段解决第二个要点。写信的目的为接受邀请，即我写信的目的是为了接受你的邀请，Much to my honor, I am writing this letter to accept the invitation.

第二段写四句(内容)：第一句可以写概括性言论，而第二句可以写明两个原因，该原因一定要与题干中交代的“2)介绍你演讲的关键点。”有关，自此，内容性的句子全部写完，剩下只需要把功能性客套的句子补全就好了。第二段最后一句可以为总结。

第三段(期待回复)：本段可以设计两句话，均为功能性的客套用语。第一句：please accept my cordial thanks again.请接受我再一次诚挚的谢意。第二句，期待回复: I am looking forward to your reply at the earliest.

考研英语小作文(即应用型写作)，在语言上要求严谨地道即可，不用满篇长难句，所以可控性强于大作文。但难点在于如何将30几种类型的信件归纳成几种写法。此外，考纲中给出的其他类型，如通知，近些年也曾出现，所以不得不重视。更多解题法，尽在都学网的课程中，欢迎你的加入。

参考范文：

Dear professor， 　　I feel very happy when I accept your invitation, and I think it would be my great honor to give a presentation to the students overseas. Meanwhile, I’d like to express my gratitude for giving me the opportunity. 　　The details of the presentation are as follows. To begin with, I will briefly introduce traditional Chinese culture, which is the accumulation of Chinese history. History makes the Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. Moreover, many other kinds of cultural forms such as Chinese painting, poem, opera and so on are needed to show to the students abroad, which can help broaden their horizons and have a better understanding of Chinese culture. 　　Thanks a lot for your time and attention to this letter, words are beyond me to express my thanks to you. I will try my best to do this presentation. Finally, looking forward your reply.
