Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Jack,

Thanks for your e-mail. I am very glad to tell you something about the Chinese New Year. As you know, it is the most important festival for Chinese people. It falls on the first day of the first month in the Chinese lunar calendar. On new year’s Eve, we have a family feast and eat dumplings, fish and meat. After that we stay up to midnight to welcome the New Year with fireworks and firecrackers. On New Year’s Day, people visit their relatives and friends to exchange New Year’s greetings. Children will receive some “lucky money” wrapped in red paper from their parents or relatives. Lion dances and other performances are also part of the celebration, which usually last for three days.

Yours sincerely

Li Hua

【解析】

试题分析：考查半开放性作文。李华的笔友Jack对于中国的春节很感兴趣。文章要求以李华的身份给Jack写信，介绍春节和中国人是如何过春节的，所以本文使用第一人称和一般现在时。要点：1.知悉对方对中国的春节很感兴趣。2.春节的时间和地位：农历一月第一天。是中国最重要的节日。3.春节活动：家庭聚会吃饺子，放烟花爆竹。孩子收压岁钱，探亲访友，还有舞狮等传统节目表演等。建议文章分成两段完成，可以把2，3两点写成一段内容。在写作时注意使用多样化的句式来丰富文章层次，句式要有变化，不要总用陈述句。
