Dear Carl，
I'm delighted to hear from you and I will tell you what you're curious about…
Square dance becomes more popular than anytime before．However，it's a little different from the dance you are familiar with．In the morning or after dinner，people，especially elderly women，will gather in squares to dance to popular music．More and more young people are also joining in now．
There are many reasons behind its popularity．First of all，China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades，and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves．Besides，doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit．
However，because dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places，they annoy many people．Maybe square dancers need to make some changes．
Yours，
Li Hua．

Answer 1

分析 这是一篇关于广场舞话题的作文．根据题目要求可知用第一人称和一般现在时态．内容包括：一跳广场舞的时间、地点、参与人员等；二广场舞流行的原因；三广场舞引起的争议．
高分句型：
1．However，it's a little different from the dance you are familiar with．句子里you are familiar with是 先行词the dance的定语从句，省略了关系词that/which．．
可是，它和你熟悉的舞蹈不太一样．
2．Besides，doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit．句子里动名词短语doing the square dance 做主语；get fit表示"保持健康"．
此外，跳广场舞是保持健康的好方法．

点评 考查提纲类作文．
不同于语文作文，英语作文一定要打草稿，一是为了改掉错误，添加亮点句子和短语；二是为了卷面整洁干净．这就要求给作文留25分钟左右的时间，相对于它的分数，这些时间是值得的．
