【解析】李华的美国笔Jack发来邮件说他的第一部小说出版了，并寄来了样书（sample copy)。要求根据内容用英语给他回一封邮件。文章是回信，要注意书信格式。主要用第一人称来写，时态以一般现在时为主。内容包括：1.表示祝贺；2.感谢赠书；3.希望给你提出写作建议。

写作时要注意要点全面，语言准确，条理清楚，态度诚恳。还要注意高级词汇和句型的运用，如同位语从句that your first novel has been published.宾语从句how much effort you have put into your writing.词语congratulations on, witness, with admiration, can’t wait to do, anxious, looking forward to和First, In fact, Besides, By the way等连接词。
