正确答案

【参考范文】

Dear Sir/Madam,

  I am a student from China and plan to learn English in Lancaster University for 6 months. I am writing in response to your advertisement. Here are a few things I’d like to clarify.

  Firstly, how can I get to the University from my host home? Secondly, would I have a separate room of my own? And are there any children in the family? It would be beneficial if I have someone of a similar age living with me. Also I’s like to know if they have any special customs. Lastly, I wonder what is included within the fees in the ad, and whether it should be paid monthly or weekly.

  I look forward to hearing from you.

  Yours sincerely,

                 Li Hua

解析



考查方向

考查了用英语书信询问信息的能力。

解题思路

1. 这是一篇书信,应该遵守书信的格式要求。

2. 结构上,首先进行自己介绍,说明写信的目的。第二段对照题目要求中箭头所指的几项逐条展开,几项之间要恰当地适应连接词,比如firstly, secondly, also, lastly,使文章结构紧凑。

3. 在提出询问时,要注意语言的得体性,尽量使用比较客气的表达方式,比如I’d like to …; how can I ...?; It would be beneficial if …; I wonder …等。

易错点

1. 书信的格式错误。

2. 向别人询问信息时语言不够委婉客气。

3. 语言表达不够正确。
