出国留学选择留学申请注意事项
在国外留学,写邮件是一个非常便捷的方式和教授或者自己的导师沟通和交流,那么如何礼貌的给导师教授写邮件呢?小编罗列了如下十点注意事项,希望能帮助到大家哦。
1. “E-mail is forever. Once you send it off, you can’t get it back. Once your professor has it, he or she owns it and can save it or, in the worst case, forward it onto colleagues for a good laugh—at your expense.”
邮件是永久性的,在这里小编要提醒大家,邮件发出前一定要仔细检查,譬如教授的称呼,以及一些低级的语法错误或拼写错误都要杜绝犯错。
2. “E-mail goes where it’s told. Check—and double check—to see that the right address appears in the “To” line. Just because your mom and your professor are both named “Sue” is no reason to send all your love to Professor Sue.”
邮件要发到你被告知的邮箱里。检查,再检查,看“To(发送到)”那一栏的邮箱地址是不是正确,切忌因为同名而产生的乌龙。
3. “Professors might not be using the cruddy university e-mail system. So send it to the address they actually use, not the one on the university directory. (Check the syllabus or assignment sheet for clues.)”
教授可能不使用或者不常使用大学的邮箱,所以发送邮件前需确认教授正在使用的常用邮箱,而不是简单确认大学通讯录上的邮箱地址。
4. “Professors might not open mail sent from luckydogpig@thepound. They prefer to open mail sent from more reputable addresses, like you@theCruddyUniversityE-mailSystem.edu.”
如果紧急情况想联系教授或者是导师,建议使用学校邮箱,而非私人邮箱。避免邮件不被check。在这里小编也要提醒大家,养成每天查看邮件的习惯,因为你的教授导师联系你也都会采用先发邮件的形式哦。
5. “Subject lines are for subjects. Put a brief explanation of the nature of the e-mail (like “question about paper”) in the subject line. Never include demands such as “urgent request—immediate response needed.” That’s the surest way to get your request trashed.”
主题栏要对该邮件有一个简要概括的解释且紧扣主题。尽量避免一些特殊要求,譬如“紧急请求”“立即回复”等。不礼貌且有可能直接被无效进垃圾邮箱。小编友情建议,如确实存在紧急情况,主题栏可采用常规一点的名字,例如:请假的“Absence on Wednesday”,找学校退钱的“About Refund”,关于考试的问题“Question about final examination”等等。
6. “Salutations matter. The safest way to start is with‘Dear Professor So and So’ (using their last name). That way you won’t be getting into the issue of whether the prof has a Ph.D. or not, and you won’t seem sexist when you address your female-professor as‘Ms.’or, worse yet, ‘Mrs. This and That.’ ”
称呼很重要。最安全的开头方式是用“Dear Professor xx”。这样的话你就不会再考虑这个教授是不是个博士或其他,也不会存在性别歧视等问题。当然了,若是非要写职称请务必确认好该导师到底是Dr.还是Professor.,乱写可不行哦。
7. “Clear and concise is best. Your prof might get 25 or 30 E-mails a day, so, it’s best if you ask your questions in as focused and succinct a way as possible. (Hint: it’s often good to number your questions). And, if your question is very elaborate or multifaceted, it’s best to go to an in-person office hour. You’ll get better service that way.”
邮件一定要注意言简意赅。建议把问题逐一列举出来,显得简洁且条理分明。如果问题繁杂或涉及多个层面,建议邮件与导师确认时间,尽量能采取面谈的方式。
8. “Always acknowledge. If your professor deigns to answer—or send you the handout or reference that you asked for—be sure to tell him or her that you got it. That way he or she will think kindly of you next time they see you in class.”
切记!即时回复导师邮件是否已确认收到。如果教授给到相关问题的解答或者发送所需的相关资料,一定要即时反馈已收到邮件,并表达感谢。
9. “Spelling mistakes make you look like a doofus. So always use the spell check, and proofread your e-mail, too.”
尽量不要出现拼写之类的低级错误,小编在此要再次提醒大家,邮件发送前务必严谨核实校对再send。
10. “Signoffs and signatures count. Always end by thanking the professor for his or her time, and closing with “Best wishes” or “Regards” (or some other relatively formal, but friendly, closing). And always sign with your (entire) real name, not some wacky nickname like Ry-Ry or Biff.”
最后的落款及签名很重要。小编在此提醒大家,建议在邮件最后对教授及导师百忙之中抽空查阅邮件并予以帮助表示感谢,可以“Best Wishes或Regards”来结尾。然后署名全名,而不是昵称,以示尊敬哦。
以上十点,希望可以对大家的学习交流有所帮助。在对待文化差异上,建议大家在学习的过程中,多与教授以及本土的同学们保持沟通交流,尽快适应海外学术氛围哦。
