Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇提綱作文，要求根據(jù)所給的信息給Susan寫一封電子郵件，介紹中國的清明節(jié)．根據(jù)提示的信息可知，文章應(yīng)從清明節(jié)的由來、人們在清明節(jié)的活動等幾個方面入手．寫作時(shí)要充分發(fā)揮想象，適當(dāng)?shù)奶砑幼约旱挠^點(diǎn)，使文章內(nèi)容豐滿，并達(dá)到要求的字?jǐn)?shù)．此外，為了提高文章檔次，還要注意使用多種句式和高級詞匯，并添加關(guān)聯(lián)詞讓行文流暢．
【亮點(diǎn)說明】本篇書面表達(dá)格式規(guī)范，語言流暢．第一、二段概括了清明節(jié)的歷史；第三段介紹了清明節(jié)在農(nóng)業(yè)方面的意義；第四段詢問對方如何祭奠祖先．本文的亮點(diǎn)是運(yùn)用了復(fù)雜的句式如定語從句，被動語態(tài)等，提升了文章的檔次；date back、in a way 等結(jié)構(gòu)的運(yùn)用也為文章增添了亮色．
Qingming Festival，also called the Tomb Sweeping Day，is usually celebrated between April 4 and April 6．（高分句型一）
It's a time for remembering loved ones who have passed away．（高分句型二）
When visiting the tombs of their lost loved ones，people usually sweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds．（高分句型三）

點(diǎn)評 英語寫作是一項(xiàng)主觀性較強(qiáng)的測試題．它不僅考查學(xué)生的寫作基礎(chǔ)而且還考查學(xué)生在寫作過程中綜合運(yùn)用語言的能力．在撰寫時(shí)要注意主謂語一致，時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng)，用詞貼切等．要提高英語寫作水平，需要兩方面的訓(xùn)練：一是語言基礎(chǔ)方面的訓(xùn)練，要有扎實(shí)的造句、翻譯等基本功，即用詞法、句法等知識造出正確無誤的句子；二是寫作知識和能力 方面的訓(xùn)練以掌握寫作方面的基本方法和技巧．
