Answer 1

   
Dear cousin,
　　I’m glad to hear from you. It’s a pity that you didn’t come back during the Spring Festival. We all miss you too..
　　It's suggested to avoid the waste of food in restaurants especially during the festivals. When we eat out we usually order proper dished and avoid any waste of food. I hope this practice will last forever and spread to every corner of the world.
Because of the heavy smog of last winter throughout the whole country, there is another change in setting off firecrackers. More and more people prefer to buy and set off less firecrackers in order to have a more clear sky.
With more and more Chinese living abroad, the Spring Festival has become a global festival. I also want to know how you celebrate the traditional festival in America. I hope everything is going on well with you.
Yours,
Li Hua

试题分析：本书面表达是一篇提纲作文。提纲作文写作的时候注意以下几点：1、仔细阅读有关提示，弄清试题提供的所有信息，明确有哪些要点。2、提纲是文章的总体框架，要在提纲的范围内进行分析、构思和想象。要依据提示情景或词语，按照一定逻辑关系来写。3、根据要表达的内容确定句子的时态、语态；语言表达要符合英语习惯。
【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如hear from，It’s a pity that，eat out， set off,  prefer to，going on well；还运用句型it作形式主语引导的主语从句。并注意了句子的衔接如：because of，when，and，finally等等。
