空巢老人（empty nester）
Dear editor，
Dear editor，
As the aging population is becoming larger and larger，the problem of the empty nesters is getting more and more serious．
I think they had better join in some outdoor activities，such as climbin mountains，playing Taiji．They can also take up some hobbies like gardening or playing chess．Perhaps they can keep a pet like a dog or a cat．And I think that what is the most important for them is to make some friends with the people of their age，so that they can keep each other in company and share their experiences and happiness．（高分句型一） Having friends means that they can have some one to talk to so thatthey won't feel lonely and depressed．（高分句型二）
In my opinion，these suggestions may be helpful to them．I hope all the empty nesters will have a happy old life in future．
Sincerely yours，
Wang Ming
Sincerely yours，
Wan Ming．

Answer 1

分析 高分句型一：
And I think that what is the most important for them is to make some friends with the people of their age，so that they can keep each other in company and share their experiences and happiness．我认为对他们来说最重要的就是结交一些和他们同龄的朋友，那样的话他们可以彼此为伴还可以分享彼此的人生经历和快乐的事．
高分句型二：
Having friends means that they can have some one to talk to so that you won't feel lonely and depressed．
结交朋友意味着他们有交流心声的对象，那样他们就不会感到孤独和沮丧．
句型一 用到了多种从句①that what is the most important for them 这是一个位于that后面由what 引导的宾语从句，what在句中充当主语．②so that they can keep each other in company and share their experiences and happiness．这是由so that引导的目的状语从句，表明交朋友的好处
句型二 该句主语由动名词短语充当，而宾语则是一个由that引导的宾语从句
（句型一和二的使用表明语法功底扎实，从句的正确使用在书面表达中会起到画龙点睛的效果）
in my poinion 在我看来
