专题6 求助信
（一）命题规律分析
1. 高频亮相，实用为主：
求助信是高考英语应用文写作的常见题型，尤其在学生需要寻求学习、生活或活动方面的
帮助时频繁出现。这类信件考查学生在真实情境中礼貌、清晰地表达需求的能力。
2. 命题形式多样化：
单一功能： 如“写邮件请求对方帮忙修改作文”或“请求延期提交作业”。
混合功能： 如“感谢对方之前的帮助并再次请求指导”或“道歉并请求谅解的同时寻求帮
助”。
3. 情境设置贴近学生实际：
常见情境包括：请求老师、同学或外国朋友提供学习资料、解答疑问、协助组织活动、推
荐资源等。
4. 评分标准透视：
基础分： 格式正确、要点完整、语言基本正确。
高分关键：
语气礼貌、措辞得体；
请求内容明确，原因合理；
结构清晰，逻辑连贯，过渡自然。
（二）真题回顾
1.
2016 年新课标 I 卷题目：假定你是李华，暑假想去一家外资公司兼职，已写好申请和个
人简历。给外教 Ms. Jenkins 写信，请她帮助修改文字和格式。
2.
2020 年全国 III 卷题目：假定你是李华，你和同学根据英语课文改编了一个短剧。给外教
Miss Evans 写邮件，请她帮忙指导，内容包括剧情简介、指导内容、商定时间地点。
3.
2011 年全国卷题目：假定你是李华，在英国学校学习暑期课程，遇到笔记和图书馆使用困
难，希望得到学校辅导中心帮助。需书面预约，内容包括本人简介、求助内容、约定时
间、联系方式。
4.
2024-2025 学年辽宁丹东高三五校协作体联考题目：假定你是李华，在外教 Steve 的读后
续写讲座后，给他写邮件，内容包括感谢收获、说明读后续写中的困惑并寻求帮助。
（三）常见失分点
失分点1：请求模糊，目的不清
问题描述： 请求内容不具体，让对方不清楚需要提供何种帮助。例如，仅说“我需要帮
助”，而未说明需要帮助的具体事项。
实用对策：
明确请求的“What”和“How”：清楚地说明你需要什么（如资料、建议、行动），以及
你希望对方如何提供帮助。
提供背景信息：简要说明请求的缘由，让对方理解事情的前因后果。
失分点2：语气生硬，缺乏礼貌
问题描述： 语气像在发布命令或理所当然，缺乏委婉和感谢的表述，容易引起对方反感。
实用对策：
使用礼貌性词语和委婉语：如“Could you possibly...?”, “I would be extremely grateful if
you could...”, “I was wondering if you might be able to help me with...”。
表达感激之情：即使在请求时，也要提前感谢对方花费时间考虑你的请求。
失分点3：理由牵强或信息缺失
问题描述： 未能提供充分的理由来解释为何需要帮助，或遗漏关键信息（如截止日期、具
体需求细节），导致请求缺乏说服力或无法操作。
实用对策：
合理阐述原因：诚实、简洁地说明你为何需要此次帮助，理由需合情合理。
补充关键细节：若请求修改作文，可说明需要重点关注的部分；若请求延期，需提供新的
具体截止时间。
失分点4：结构松散，逻辑不顺
问题描述： 请求、原因、细节等信息混杂在一起，段落划分不清，缺乏逻辑过渡，影响阅
读和理解。
实用对策：
遵循“背景-请求-原因-细节-感谢”的基本结构：
首段： 简要说明背景并明确提出请求。
主体段： 阐述原因，并提供请求的具体细节或说明。
结尾段： 再次礼貌地请求，并表达感谢与期待。
使用逻辑连接词：如 “ The reason for my request is that...” ， “ To be more
specific...”，“Therefore, I would appreciate it if...”。
一、文体功能与核心要素
1.核心功能：明确表达请求 + 礼貌请求 + 合理说明原因 + 表达感激。
2.核心目的：清晰、得体地获得所需帮助，并维持良好的人际关系。
3.身份与对象意识：根据收信人（如老师、朋友、专家）调整语气和措辞的正式程度。

Dear Chris,
Recently our school is planning to hold a theme class meeting to introduce traditional
Chinese cultures,which will be posted on some English websites. Therefore, I’m
wondering what kind of traditional Chinese cultures attracts you foreigners most.
