Answer 1

【答案】Dear Mr. Smith,

From your letter I learned that you are curious about the “Upside down blessing”. Now let me introduce it to you briefly.

“Upside down blessing” is a traditional custom in our China in Spring Festival. As you know, blessing means “happiness”. Putting it up upside down is to tell people that the “happiness” is coming. Besides, the “blessing” is also designed in all kinds of pictures. In old days, it is written by hand but now you can buy it everywhere before Spring Festival.

In fact, I think it shows an idea that people look forward to “Happiness”. Do you understand?

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】

本文为提纲作文。这种提纲比较详细，它既要表明作文的中心，又要写出作文的大致内容，同时，还要交代出文章的详略。要注意时态要用一般现在时，要尽量使用灵活的句式及较高级的词汇。

本文的要点完整，详略得当。文中大量使用了一些较高级的词汇如：be curious about …, by hand, look forward to等。文章以简单句为主，同时运用了一些加分的非谓语及复合从句。如非限制性定语从句As you know, blessing means “happiness”；宾语从句Putting it up upside down is to tell people that the “happiness” is coming中含有一个非谓语Putting it up upside down做主语；由but引导的并列句：In old days, it is written by hand but now you can buy it everywhere before Spring Festival以及同位语从句：I think it shows an idea that people look forward to “Happiness”，这给文章加分不少。
