Answer 1

【答案】The Lantern Festival

Dear Thomas

How are you? You asked me about the Lantern Festival. It is one of traditional Chinese festivals. We have it on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Usually, we eat sweet dumplings called yuanxiao. We go out to watch colorful lanterns and guess lantern riddles with our family. We also let off firecrackers for fun. It's really interesting! We like the Lantern Festival very much.

By the way, can you tell me what your favorite festival is? I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Wang Nan

【解析】

这篇作文要求我们根据提示来介绍中国的传统节日元宵节（The Lantern Festival）的习俗的情况，题目中给出了具体的写作的内容，我们应将这些内容用正确的英语表达出来。首先应注意在短文中要包括题目中给出的所有信息，不能遗漏要点，并注意表达的层次和条理。其次要注意使用正确的时态和人称，通过分析可知，这篇短文应使用一般现在时态，谓语动词用原形，这是一个写作的难点。最后要注意英语的表达习惯，英语句式与汉语在语序和词性上的使用是不同的，要注意不能逐词翻译，写汉语式的英语。应从句子整体考虑，使用恰当的词汇和句型来表达，语法规范。还应使用一些较好的句型或者短语，增强文章的表现力。
