【答案】Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for inviting me to attend the “Chinese Culture Day” to be held at your school this Saturday. I have been looking forward to it. I believe it will give your students more ideas about Chinese culture and will be great fun. However,much to my regret,I shall not be able to make it now. My grandpa suddenly fell ill and is in hospital. I will visit him with my parents on Saturday.
I’m awfully sorry for the sudden change of plan and feel it a great pity to miss the opportunity to be with your students. I wish the activity a great success and hope I will have another chance to join you in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】试题分析:考查写一封信谢绝老师的邀请,给出了文字提示和要点。给考生自由发挥的余地较大。对于考生的综合能力要求较高。在完成信件时,首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型,在你的能力范围之内,选择句式时要赋予变化,因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。在拒绝时要注意语气委婉,说明理由。
【亮点说明】文章使用了很好的短语和句子:looking forward to doing盼望做某事,much to my regret十分遗憾, make it成功做某事,awfully sorry十分抱歉,a great pity遗憾。文章写作顺序得当,先表达了自己的期盼之情,接着说出了不能去参加的理由,有理有据,令人信服。最后表达了衷心祝愿并且再次表达了惋惜之情。符合拒绝信的书写规范。
