Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Wang Ping,

I’m very happy to go with you to Li Ming’s 18th birthday party, but I have something unclear to ask. Please tell me when it begins and when it ends. Where is it to be held? How shall we go to the party, by bus or by bike? Would you let me know who else will be at the party? A birthday gift has been a tradition for a happy birthday. What do you have in mind if we want to get him a nice gift? Also, I’d like to know how he plans the party. Any dance, singing, games or anything else? Anyway, all that counts is to have fun at the party.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】

试题解析：书信类文体需要注意开头的问候和结尾的祝福，本篇是接受邀请写回信询问细节，结构上，首先要表达感谢邀请之意或者收到邀请的心情高兴happy或者荣幸honor，接着表现自己的疑惑，然后就具体的问题进行询问，在询问时注意询问的逻辑，注意不要一直用I作主语开头避免单调。可以适当使用一些插入语，比如by the way,in addition,otherwhile时态：主要为一般现在时亮点说明：在询问具体的细节时，不断的变换句式，先祈使句，再换用疑问句，后用陈述句来避免询问的单调。Please tell me when it begins and when it ends.运用两个宾语从句，将对生日会起始时间的询问用祈使句问出。A birthday gift has been a tradition for a happy birthday.这句话以礼物为主语，采用现在完成时用be a traditionfor sth.的结构，作为铺垫，从连续的询问生日会的安排过渡到礼物的选择。 What do you have in mind if we want to get him a nice gift? 运用了条件状语从句。Anyway, all that counts is to have fun at the party.运用了主语从句，是对问询的一个总结。
