Answer 1

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam，

On seeing the information in the school newspaper, I learned that Johnson are scheduled to study as an exchange student in our school. I sincerely hope my family can have the honor to be a host family.

My parents are caring and friendly. Our home is next to the city center where you can easily get access to shopping and convenient transportation. What’s more, we can offer one separate room for the student.

As for me, I have a good command of English so that he can feel free to communicate with me in daily life. So I am convinced I will be a qualified host. If given the chance，I’ll invite him to join in my family get-together. Besides，we can show him around the city，getting him to know more about the real life and culture in China.

In a word，I’m eager to provide an impressive trip for the foreign friend. I hope you can take my application into consideration. Thank you in advance.

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文中的申请信，要求考生把自己当成李津，给校报写信介绍个人及家庭情况，还说明安排的具体活动，希望成为英国的交换生Johnson的“接待家庭”。 本文要求考生自行组织要点，总体难度较大。

第1步：审题。根据文字提示可知本文是一篇应用文，要求考生把自己当成李津，给校报写信介绍个人及家庭情况，还说明安排的具体活动，希望成为英国的交换生Johnson的“接待家庭”。全文以一般现在时和第一人称为主。

第2步：组织要点。（1）自我介绍；（2）家庭条件及个人优势：父母性格亲切友好，家庭生活便利，有独立房间；自己的英语水平较高；（3）安排英国朋友参加的活动：参加家庭聚会；参观城市了解中国文化。

第3步：根据提示及关键词组进行遣词造句，关键词为have the honor to be a host family、next to the city center、get access to、offer one separate room、have a good command of English、 free to communicate、join in my family get-together、show him around the city、take my application into consideration等。同时注意申请书的惯用语和习惯表达。

第4步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
