手把手教会你如何给教授写一封漂亮的邮件
文末更有请假、提问、预约的各式模板哦~
确定你是真的需要发邮件
让教授们最无语的一大问题莫过于,学生在邮件中问的“傻子问题”其实在syllabus中都能找到。
所以,在给教授发邮件询问之前,不妨先检查以下你的syllabus,很可能马上就能找到关于工作量、作业、DDL等问题的答案,而没必要发一封邮件来浪费你和教授的时间。当然,问问你的同学们也是很好的答案来源。
如果以上方法都不能解决问题,再给教授发邮件吧。
使用学校邮箱
在和教授邮件沟通时,使用学校的官方邮箱是最好的,也是最专业的做法。而且官方邮箱还能向收件人显示你的个人信息,让教授更好地识别。
主题清晰明确
一个好的主题可以告诉教授你的邮件是关于什么的,以及他们该如何处理。可以说,主题的书写决定了收件人是否会打开你的邮件,所以主题一定要清晰、简介、切中要点。
举个小例子:
Question about [Course name] assignment
[Course name]: Asking for an appointment
问候语要恰当
在邮件的开头,记得使用一个适当的、尊敬的称呼。可以用「教授的名字+头衔」,如果你不确定教授的正确头衔「Professor+姓」这样的格式总不会出错。
记得在发送邮件前检查一下他们的名字,而且别忘了问候语后面的逗号,比如:
Dear Professor [Last Name],
记得自我介绍
一个教授会有很多学生,所以告诉他们你的名字和你上的课非常重要,这有助于节省收件人的时间,并确保你更快地获得答复。即便你的教授知道你是谁,做一个简短的介绍也无伤大雅。
直奔主题
在与教授打招呼并介绍自己后,就可以开始陈述你的问题或要求了。
用语最好简单明了,这样收件人很快就能理解这封邮件是关于什么的,以及他们该怎么做才能为你提供帮助。
礼貌结束
结束邮件最好的方法,就是感谢他们的时间,以及用“Sincerely”/“Best regards”+你的名字,例如:
Thank you for your time and have a great day.
Sincerely,
Li Ming
发送前别忘了检查一下
记得检查你的语法、拼写和标点。一定要使用正式的语气和词汇,避免使用表情符号和非正式的缩写。
敲黑板,一定着重检查教授名字的拼写。
