考研英語中大作文的要求是內容切題、表達清楚、文字連貫、句式多變和語言規范。小作文考察點在信息點的覆蓋、語言的準確性、文章組織的連貫性上。

　　其中小作文占10分，分為求職信、祝賀信、道歉信、詢問信、推薦信、感謝信、邀請信、辭職信等等二十多種應用文。每個類別都有相對固定的語言模式，都有固定詞語要求。

　　推薦信是寫信人向收信人推薦某人做某事的信件。推薦信在西方國家是求職，求學的必備材料。寫推薦信的人必須對被推薦者有一定的了解。最好有較深的資歷，如被推薦者的原單位領導，本專業的專家等，名聲越大越好。除了請別人推薦，也可以自薦 。

　　寫作“三步走”：

　　指出寫信人和被推薦人的關系，及推薦的原因→概述被薦人的品質、能力、性格等→.總結說明被推薦人值得被推薦(例如能勝任工作)。

　　注意：

　　推薦信要多寫優點，充分肯定成績，篇幅不宜過長，但也不能三言兩語過于簡單。
