【评析】
今年考研的这篇小作文考查的是大家最为熟悉的书信形式。由于各位考生在复习备考过程中一直将书信的写作练习作为小作文备考的重点，而且大家对“电影”这个话题一般也有话可写，因此整体难度不高。
除了书信的格式要注意以外，题目提示中给出了两个要点：一是推荐电影，二是给出理由。
书信的开头采用标准格式，正文首段可以直奔主题。如果寒暄最好不要超过一句。第二段可以首先简介一下电影的故事梗概，一两句即可，要注意连贯。然后讲出电影的特色。一般来说好电影的特点无非就是故事精彩、特效惊人、手法独特、配乐优美等，点出其中一两个特色即可。结束段可以再次强调自己的推荐，并提出自己的希望，比如希望对方喜欢，或者希望跟对方作进一步讨论等。最后在正确的位置写上Yours并署Li Ming，小作文写作结束。
考研英语写作要求目的明确，要点完备，结构清晰，语言流畅。小作文中，可以简单句为主，如果能在此基础上进行一些并列和复合来增加语言的多样性则更佳。
【范文】
Dear Liu Lei,
I’m writing to tell you about a fantastic movie I have just watched, as we always share the same taste of movies.
The movie is Avatar, which tells a story of a soldier who, on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms, finds himself torn between two worlds in a fight for the survival of the alien people. Besides the touching and thrilling story, the movie also features brilliant visual effects, thanks to the talented director and advanced computer technology.
So I recommend it to you as one of the best movies I have ever watched. I’m sure you will love it as much as I do. I’m looking forward to discussing more with you after you watch it.
Yours,
