Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jacob,

Having heard from you, I’m writing to extend my warm congratulations to you, because you have been admitted to a famous University.

As for me, I suffer from confusion when choosing my major. Initially, what I’m concerned about lies in whether the major will be suitable for me. Additionally, I prefer the one that is beneficial to my career prospects, instead of so-called popular major.

To avoid making my decision blindly, I expect you to recommend some practical proposals to me, including analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of a certain profession. I would appreciate it if you can do me a favor.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】本篇写作属于书信类——求助信，要求考生掌握书信的格式，并有良好的语言运用能力和补充 细节能力。注意在写作过程中明确地分段使文章具备合理的逻辑关系，包含所给要点信息，即表达谢意，面临问题，寻求帮助。如果想达到 21-25分一档作文的标准，必须丰富语法结构，尽可能使用高级词汇。

【亮点说明】

文章开头两句写表达祝贺及原因，使用了 Having heard from 非谓语作状语，because引导的原因状从两种高级语法，extend（表达）, be admitted to（被录取）两个高级词汇。

正文第一部分交代了面临的问题，重点在于补充的内容。使用了 when choosing my major 状从省略，what I’m concerned about lies in whether the major will be suitable for me.主语从句加表语从句，the one which is beneficial to my career prospects定语从句等三种高级语法，陈列事例时用 initially 和 additionally 替换了老套的 firstly, secondly。词汇方面使用了 suffer from, confusion, be concerned about, lie in, be suitable for, be beneficial to, prospect。

正文第二部分侧重征求意见，使用了不定式作状语 to avoid，if 引导的条件状语从句以及 blindly, recommend, practical proposals 等高级词汇。

结尾为常规类书信企盼回复。
