如何写建议信

1.

写作指导

建议信是写信人向收信人对某事提出的建议和忠告。建议信有可能是写给个人，就其遇到的某个问题提出自己的看法和观点；也可能是写给某个组织和机构，就改进其服务提出建议和忠告。建议信要写出写信的原因、建议的内容和提出建议的理由，且提出的理由要入情入理，语气一定要礼貌当先。因此建议信要写得简明扼要、目的明确、具有合理性和说服力。具体写作步骤：

首段：写明写作意图。陈述事由，简单介绍自己，注意语气，。

主体段落：应该首先肯定对方的优点，然后再写需要改进的地方或针对具体情况提出具体建议或忠告。千万注意不要让别人以为你是在投诉，而不是建议。

结尾段：对提出的建议进行总结，要注意有礼貌，使读者容易接受。

写这类题目时，考生要注意不要跑题，因为这类题目很有可能写成议论文，如“我认为，一

……二……，所以要如何如何”。考生应该时刻记得写信的交际功能，要考虑到收信人的感受。在给对方提建议时应该时时说到I和You,要让人时刻感受到这是一种交流。
