Answer 1

【答案】Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel greatly honored to be here to tell you something about Chinese banquet customs. Firstly, banquets are usually held in private rooms in restaurants which have been reserved for the purpose. Guests will be met at the door and led to the banquet room where they will be guided to their places. Occasions are rare when guests sit where they please. Secondly, while at banquets, guests don’t begin to eat until the host raises his chopsticks. And it’s rude to stop eating in the middle of a banquet. Drinking also takes an important place during a Chinese banquet. As a Chinese saying goes, “There is no banquet without wine.” Banquets always begin with a toast, with the host expressing his welcome. Finally, when the last dish is finished, the banquet has officially ended. Generally, the host will say good-bye to everyone at the door and stay longer to pay the bill.

I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful to you. Thank you for listening.

【解析】首先审题，这篇文章要求假设你是李华，春节过后即将赴美, 在美国的某中学做交流生。你被邀请谈谈你国的风俗礼仪。你恰好对春节期间的宴请赴约习俗深有体会, 因此你将用英语写一篇发言稿, 介绍中国春节期间的的宴请习俗。任务中给出的提示信息包含如下内容：宴请人群;宴请时间及场所;就餐习俗;饮酒习俗, 宴会结束等。抓住了这亮点，我们就抓住了文章的核心内容。其次选用正确的人称和时态，考虑用一般现在时，第三人称来写。然后写出单个句子，使用正确的连词，连句成段。具体来说，写这篇文章时，要注意:提示中的内容比较泛泛，需要适当补充。这篇文章对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。需要注意紧扣文章主题，给出的要点都需要包括，缺一不可。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，不能出现文章脱节问题。尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。

【亮点说明】本篇书面表达要点全面，结构紧凑，是一篇较好的范文。这篇短文使用了大量的短语，为文章增色不少，如: As a Chinese saying goes俗话说得好，be helpful to对……有用。还使用了定语从句Firstly, banquets are usually held in private rooms in restaurants which have been reserved for the purpose.和宾语从句I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful to you.等多种句式结构，增加了文章的可读性。
