第四部分 写作
第一节 短文改错
第二节 书面表达
一、样文参考
Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua, a middle school student from China. I read the announcement of the summer camp that you have posted on the Internet and I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from different countries and I'd like to take part in it. I've been learning English for 10 years, and I speak fluent English. What is more, I'll be able to tell students from other countries about China and learn about their countries as well. I hope I will be accepted as a member of your summer camp.
Looking forward to your reply!
Regards,
Li Hua
二、语言剖析
1.词汇分析
①announcement,名词,意为“通知,布告”。
②summer camp意为“夏令营”,考生应掌握一些常见的课外活动名称,类似的活动还有冬令营(winter camp)、春游(spring outing)、艺术节(art festival)等。
③post,动词,意为“张贴”。
④take part in,为高频短语,表示“参加”,例如:参加夏令营take part in the summer camp。除此之外,动词词组participate in也表示“参加”的意思,例如:参加春游participate in the spring outing。
⑤fluent English意为“流利的英语”。
2.句型分析
I read the announcement of the summer camp that you have posted on the Internet and I am interested in it.
定语从句的使用,可使文章增色不少。例如:
这是我所读过的最发人深省的书。
This is the most thought-provoking book that I have ever read.
我写信的目的是参加这个能让我开阔视野的课程。
The purpose of this letter is to attend the course which is able to broaden my horizon.
三、全文评析
这是一封标准的申请信,考查书信的基本写作,结构基本分为三部分,即开头的自我介绍和来信目的、中间的申请理由和结尾的期待入选,结构清晰,难度不大,考查的话题也是考生比较熟悉的。在内容方面,信的重点部分应陈述自己参加的意图,题干的中文提示给出了两点,即向别人介绍中国和了解其他国家。此处适合进行细节的扩展,还可以运用因果、举例等方式丰富申请理由,展现考生的语言能力和写作功底。
本篇写作符合命题规律,注重对基础的考查,值得考生反复琢磨。
