Question

1．假定你是李華．近日收到美國朋友Nancy的郵件，說她下周六晚上7點在市圖書館報告廳做題為"美國風(fēng)俗與文化"的講座，邀請你來觀摩．請給她寫封回信，要點如下：
1．婉拒邀請；2．陳述理由；3．表達(dá)感謝．
注意：（1）詞數(shù)100左右；（2）可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫．
Dear Nancy，

Answer 1

分析 根據(jù)題干，要寫一封回信，首先要注意語言親切自然，避免使用過于書面的語言，比如過多的從句或過于華麗的詞匯．
其次，信中要注意各層次之間使用恰當(dāng)?shù)倪B詞，使過渡自然，結(jié)構(gòu)合理．比如：however，in my opinion，anyway等．
根據(jù)提示，回信可分為三部分：
①首先，非常委婉地拒絕邀請．可誠懇地表明自己非常想去參加講座，并適當(dāng)說說想去的原因．比如：I'd like to learn something about American customs and culture．
②其次，明確表示自己不能參加，并說出理由．理由要足夠充足．比如：since …； It's really a pity that…；I'm sorry …
③最后，對對方的邀請表示感謝，并表示如果以后有機(jī)會，自己一定會參加．比如：I'm fairly grateful…； If there is another chance…，I will…．
I'd much like to learn something about American customs and culture，but a friend of mine is coming to pay me a visit，and since this is the first time he has come here，I will have to meet him at the railway station at 7：00 p．m．next Saturday．（高分句型一）It's really a pity that I can't make it to communicate with you face to face，and I'm sorry for that．（高分句型二）
If there is another chance in future，I will try every possible means to learn from you．（高分句型三）

點評 英語寫作是一項主觀性較強(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用語言的能力．在撰寫時要注意主謂語一致，時態(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．
