重點摘要
寫信給教授是「寫電子郵件」題型中出現頻率最高的情境,因為它直接反映大學學習中最核心的溝通能力之一。學生在求學期間經常需要寫信給教授,例如:詢問課業問題、說明缺課原因、申請約談時間,或尋求研究方向的建議。TOEFL 透過這道題目測驗你能否在真實的學術情境中,撰寫一封正式、有條理且完整回應所有要求的英文電子郵件。
為何教授郵件情境頻繁出現
TOEFL 2026 的「寫電子郵件」題型以真實校園生活情境為設計基礎。在所有郵件情境中,寫信給教授是最自然、也最普遍的類型——幾乎每位大學生在求學期間都曾有過與教授聯絡的需求。
教授郵件題目同時測驗多項能力:使用正式或半正式語氣的能力、清楚組織資訊的能力,以及在 7 分鐘內回應題目所有要求的能力。
常見的子情境包括:尋求學業上的協助、說明缺課原因、要求釐清作業要求,以及提出課程調整的請求。以下的練習題目涵蓋這些常見模式,幫助你為考試當天可能遇到的任何教授郵件情境做好充分準備。

如何撰寫這封電子郵件
遵循以下四項策略,在有限時間內寫出一封有效的教授電子郵件。
1. 使用正式的問候語
以「Dear Professor [Name]」或「Dear Dr. [Name].」開頭。這能建立學術書信所期望的正式語氣。寫信給教授時絕對不要使用「Hey」或「Hi」。
2. 在第一句話中說明目的
以「I am writing to…」或「I would like to…」開頭,讓教授立刻明白你聯繫的原因。不要把主要重點藏在第二段或第三段。
3. 回應題目中的所有要點
動筆前,先找出題目中每一項具體指示。每個要點用一到兩句話說明。遺漏任何一項必要內容,都是最容易失分的方式之一。
4. 以專業的方式結尾
以禮貌的結語結尾,例如「Thank you for your time」,接著使用「Sincerely」或「Best regards」。專業的結尾能強化正式語氣,留下良好印象。
應避免的常見錯誤
以下是教授電子郵件題目中最常導致失分的四項錯誤。
語氣過於隨意
使用「Hey Prof」這類問候語,或「gonna」「wanna」「thanks a bunch」這類用語,會顯得語域不當。教授期望的是正式用語,例如「I would appreciate your guidance」,而非「Can you help me out?」
遺漏題目要點
如果題目要求你說明問題、索取資源並要求會面,你的電子郵件必須涵蓋全部三項。即使只遺漏一項,也會讓評分者認為你沒有完整完成任務。
篇幅過長或冗贅
只有7分鐘的時間,若在不必要的細節上花費太多時間,就沒有時間校對。一封聚焦、簡潔的80–150字電子郵件,比一封文法有誤、冗長拖沓的250字訊息更有效。
沒有明確的請求
每封教授電子郵件都應至少包含一項明確的請求——要求會面、尋求建議或申請延期。如果郵件只是描述問題,卻沒有要求教授採取任何行動,會顯得不完整、缺乏目的。
