Dear Linda,

I have read your letter, in which you mention that you wanted to lose weight by dieting. It’s naturally for young girls of your ages to wish to look beautiful. Therefore, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So don’t let others’ opinions to affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it’s good idea to do it by getting more exercise and change unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as they will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficult in dieting.

I hope my advice will be helpful with you.

Yours,

Tom

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】本文作者针对自己的朋友Linda要减肥这一问题，给出了自己的建议。

考查时态。表示发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以mention改成mentioned。

考查形容词。be动词后用形容词作表语，所以naturally 改成natural。

考查固定用法。of one’s age在某人多大岁数时，是固定用法，所以ages改成age。

考查副词。然而在我看来，健康比美丽更重要。表示“然而”，所以Therefore改成however。

考查固定句型。let sb. do sth. 让某人做某事，是固定句型，所以去掉to。

考查冠词。泛指“一个好主意”，且good首字母发音是辅音，所以good前面加a。

考查固定用法。and连接并列结构，介词by之后用v+ing，所以change改成changing。

考查代词。指代前面的a healthy state of mind，所以them改成it。

考查名词。它也会帮助你克服节食中的困难。作overcome 的宾语，用名词，“节食中的困难”是复数意义，所以difficult改成difficulties。

考查固定用法。be helpful for sb.对某人有帮助，是固定用法，所以with改成for。
