Answer 1

How time flies! Four months have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot help but miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.

The Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the first lunar month, is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese people worldwide. A few days before the festival, the houses are cleaned and the red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts.

On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one and another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country.

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇书信书面表达文章。请仔细阅读引文，并按要求写作。对于春节，每位中国的考生都不陌生，但与春节相关的一些活动、物品名称对于大多数学生来说是很难用英语去翻译的，所以这就要求学生在平时对一些专有名词有很好的积累。在结构上要注意结构清晰及书信的书写格式，语言上要注意句子的连贯与通顺。最后也不要忘了给朋友的寄语。

亮点说明：用词的准确，比如说lunar，Firecrackers，reunion等词语可见考生平时很注意这方面的词汇积累；句子结构的复杂，比如The Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the first lunar month, is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese people worldwide，which引导的非限制性定语从句与celebrated作后置定语体现了考生扎实的基本功。还有些比较好的短语：比如frighten away，ring out，vary from..to.，add to等。
