Answer 1

【答案】

One possible version:

Dear Tom,

How is everything going on with you? I’m writing this letter to express my apology to you for not writing you back in time. In the first place, I’d be happy if you could accept my apology. It’s of great importance for me to make full preparations for the final exam last week, you know.

I have a busy schedule for the coming summer vocation. I’ve decided to find a part-time job so as to gain some social experience. I will also go to Shanghai to take a summer course. Besides, I’m going to work as a volunteer for an organization that helps poor children in the countryside.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. And I’d appreciate it very much if you would give me an early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

【解析】

试题分析：本文是篇邮件应用文，内容提示较简洁，只是框架，但学生容易把握写作要求和写作目的。考生在写作之前必修认真审题，首先要注意文章的时态，用一般现在时和将来时。人称用第一和第二人称。根据写作要求文章分三段来写。第一段首先对不能及时回复邮件表示歉意并表明原因，之后提出自己的打算。第二段重点描述自己的具体计划和想法。第三段总结全文。再有就是不能根据材料逐字逐句的翻译应该注意句子的衔接，以提高作文的档次。

【亮点说明】文章要点齐全，表达思路明确，知识点运用恰当到位，文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如in time, look forward to; It’s of great importance for me to make full preparations for the final exam last week, you know.；定语从句that helps poor children in the countryside. 修饰an organization; I’d appreciate it very much if…；等等。并注意了句子的衔接如：besides，and等。
