英文摘要 |
In this study, I analyzed 100 samples of Japanese request letters written by native Japanese speakers and 100 Japanese request letters written by Taiwanese students who have middle to high Japanese proficiency. Regarding the results, I found following each writer's intention and the function of every sentence, both in native Japanese speakers' request letter samples and Taiwanese students' Japanese request letters, we can see a ”request letter structure” that is formed by 3 main paragraphs: ”I. the beginning”, ”II. the developing section”, and ”III. the end section”. There are also 7 minor types of paragraph: “I-1. the beginning of the letter”, ”I-2. the initial greeting in the letter”, ”II-1. the initial part of the request”, ”II-2. the developing part of the request”, ”II-3. the final part of the request”, ”III-1. the final greeting of the letter”, and ”III-2. the ending of the letter”. By comparing these 2 types of Japanese letters, I found 4 writing problems in Taiwanese students' Japanese request letters, specifically: 1. in most of these letters, they don't have a formal expression in ”II. the developing part”. 2. they don't have a strong request ending in ”II-3. the final part of the request” compared to Japanese letter samples. 3. the sentences in Taiwanese students' letters are too direct and not soft enough. 4. Taiwanese students skip ”II-3. the final part of the request” and go to ”III. the ending part of the letter” directly from ”II-2. the developing part of the request”. After requesting their teacher to write a letter of recommendation for them, regardless of whether their teacher will accept it or not, students finish the letter by the greeting words: ”take care and thank you”. |
