难点分析
辞职信要求语言正式。本篇作文的关键是把每一个要点都交代清楚，语言不能模棱两可。开头明确表示辞职的意愿，并且交代了确切的离职时间。
第二段对自己在这个公司的经历做一个简单的总结，最重要的是交代清楚辞职原因。本文要求考生自己拟一个辞职原因，要注意：辞职原因最好是双方都比较容易接受的客观原因，尽量不要流露出对公司的不满。
第三段对公司的培养和帮助表示感谢，要不卑不亢，自然收尾，显示个人的礼貌和修养。
说明：根据下面中文信息写一封询问信。
发信人：Mark Zhang

It's so nice to have known you at the Guangzhou Trade Fair last month!
I am really impressed by the new type of mobile phone you displayed in the fair. I wonder if you can tell me the details of this product, such as its specifications, colors, price and functions.
I'm quite sure that this type of mobile phone will sell well in our market, so I am really interested in establishing a long-term business relationship with you.

应用文写作要特别注意写作发生的具体情境(写给谁?写信的目的是什么?)，设身处地，详加考虑，就可以做到“简洁、牢L貌、完整”(concise, courteous, complete )。
写好A级作文，最重要的是格式正确，内容不遗漏，语言没有错误，不必有许多自由发挥。用简明的英语句子把提纲要求的内容表达清楚，予以合理组织，就可以了。
这封信可以分三段来写：
第1条是第1段，属于“套近乎”联络感情的内容；
第2、3条是第2段，是询问信的主体；
第4、5条可以在第3段合起来写，说明自己的希望。
至于信件本身的格式，套用即可。
说明：假设你是某公司人事部职员王林，为安排一次职工的假期旅行，向某旅行社写信询问有关事宜。
内容：
1．询问旅游信息(如：线路、价格、折扣等)；
2．告诉对方参加旅游的人数和时间安排；
3．索要相关的资料，特别是行程安排；
4．告之联系方式。

难点分析
本题要求写一封商务信函。因为这是向旅行社询问有关旅游资讯，可以看作是两个企业之间的初次联系，所以文体比较正式。
本题难点在于按题目要求把有关咨询的内容表达充分、完整，而且还要连贯自然。语言上比较正式，但不必过于老套，可以简洁一点。注意掌握常用的索要产品目录时需要的表达方式，如：It is highly appreciated if you can send us...; I wound appreciate it ff you could send..等。
高等学校英语应用能力考试A级考试大纲 总述 我国高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育和成人高等教育的教学目标是培养高级应用性人才，其英语教学应贯彻"实用为主，够用为度"的方针；既要培养学生具备必要的英语语言基础知识，也应强调培养学生运用英语进行有关涉外业务工作的能力。高等学校英语应用能力考试就是为了检验高职高专学生是否达到所规定的教学要求而设置的考试。本考试以《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》（简称《基本要求》）为依据，既测试语言知识也测试语言技能，既测试一般性语言内容也测试与涉外业务有关的应用性内容。 考虑到目前我国高职高专学生英语入学水平的现状，《基本要求》将教学要求分为A级要求和B级要求，本考试也相对应的分为A级考试和B级考试。修完《基本要求》规定的全部内容的学生可参加A级考试；修完《基本要求》B级规定的全部内容的学生可参加B级考试。 考试方式为笔试，测试语言知识和读、听、译、写四种技能。口试正在规划之中，待时机成熟时实施。客观性试题有信度较高、覆盖面广的优点，而主观性试题有利于提高测试的效度，能更好的检测考生运用语言的能力，为此本考试采用主客观题混合题型，以保证良好的信度和效度。 本考试按百分制计分，满分为100分。60分及60分以上为及格；85分及85分以上为优秀。考试成绩合格者发给"高等学校英语应用能力考试"相应级别的合格证书。 高等学校英语应用能力考试大纲（A级） 一、考试对象 本大纲适用于修完《基本要求》所规定的全部内容的高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育、成人高等教育和本科办二级技术学院各非英语专业的学生。 二、考试性质 本考试的目的是考核考生的语言知识、语言技能和使用英语处理有关一般业务和涉外交际的基本能力，其性质是教学---水平考试。
英语应用能力Ａ、Ｂ级考试翻译题型探析 [摘要]本文从高职高专学生英语应用能力考试的考核目标出发,对传统翻译题型和A、B级翻译题型的利弊进行了分析,并测评了A、B级翻译题型的教与学效果。在实践中,笔者对不同层次的教学对象采用了灵活多样的翻译题型。通过尝试和比较,提出了在语境完整的一段英文中,抽取其中几个典型句子作为英译汉最具挑战性,更能达到考核学生综合能力和提高学生灵活运用能力的目的。 [关键词]A、B级考试翻译效果实践能力 一、前言 全国高等学校英语应用能力考试(PRETCO)简称英语应用能力考试,分为A、B两个级别,能力要求相当于大学英语三级水平,B级为高职高专学生应达到的最低标准要求,B级标准略低于A级,是过渡性要求。A、B级考试根据我国高职院校英语教学的实际和发展的需要,贯彻“实用为主,够用为度”的方针,在同一基础上设置两个级别的考试,既考查学生必备的英语语言基础知识,也测试与涉外业务有关的内容。由于A、B级注重基础的语法结构和应用能力,在难易程度和词汇量等方面有别于本科院校的四、六考试,因此,激发了学生学习英语的兴趣和主动性。 从2000年英语等级考试制度改革后的A、B级考试情况和平常的教学效果来看,笔者认为翻译题型存在一定的束缚性,值得商讨。虽然出题形式改变,但教与学效果不理想,有待于我们总结分析,找出一种更好的题型来测评和提高学生的运用能力。 二、翻译题型分析 翻译题型的变化从一个侧面体现出随着语言测试的发展,更加突出了对考生应用能力的检测。语言测试和评估的发展总趋势,在语言理论上将从重形式转向重语言运用;从测试个别技能转向测试多项技能;从孤立测试语言技能转向几种技能混合测试;从客观题一统天下转向主观题大量增加,语言测试更加以人为本(人性化)。 1.传统翻译题型
