Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Jack,

To begin with, please accept my sincere apology for not replying to your last letter in time. During those days, I’d been busy preparing for the final exam which was very important to me.

Now the winter vacation is approaching, during which time I want to do many things, one of which is making a trip to some places of interest together with a few of my good friends, aiming to broaden our horizons. Additionally, being a volunteer is another thing I want to do, from which I can benefit a lot. At last, I’d like to do a part-time job, with the purpose of knowing more about society and, at the same time, I can earn some money, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.

What do you think of my plan? Hope you could come to China in your spare time and have a wonderful time with us.

Best wishes!

Yours truly,

Li Hua

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于提纲类作文，难度不大。要求考生以李华的身份给你的英国朋友Jack回信。文章要使用第一人称，时态较为混乱。要点：1.未及时回信的原因：忙于准备期末考试；2.假期打算：做兼职，旅行，做志愿者；3.希望对方有时间来中国旅游；要点均已经给出来了，考生切忌逐句翻译，一定要使用合适的连接词串联上下文。同时要灵活使用各种句式，如倒装句、省略句等，让文章富有变化不死板。
