【精彩点评】
①“I'm sorry to learn/hear that…”意为“获悉……我很抱歉”,通常用于听到他人不幸遭遇时的反应;that引导的宾语从句点明了Winnie的烦恼,使句子更加紧凑、连贯;此处正确使用了高级结构:make it + 形容词 + for sb.to do sth.(使得做某事对某人来说……),其中it在此处作形式宾语,指代后面的“to pay attention to your studies”。
②此句承接上一句,用however转入,表达了Cathy的观点。此外,宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句的使用,使句子充实而有生机。
③what's more意为“另外”,这一短语运用得非常到位,使文章结构更加紧凑自然,避免了文章因要点繁多又缺少转换而显得单调散漫。
④本段开头以 “in my opinion”引出个人观点,明确表达了Winnie应该更加了解Sherry的总论点。
⑤此句复杂的语言结构层出不穷,如:once引导的条件状语从句、“it is+形容词+ for sb.to do sth.”结构以及how引导的宾语从句。
⑥此句以“I hope +(that)从句”结构结尾,表达了Cathy对Winnie的祝愿,这一句型也是回复求助信的常用表达。

初中学生苏梅遇到了难题:好朋友Peter总想抄他的作业。苏梅想制止他,但又怕Peter会不理解自己。假如你是苏梅,请给Peter写封70词左右的信,说明你对抄作业的态度,并告诉她,你和他永远是好朋友。
Dear Peter,
yours,
Su Mei
【答案】
Dear Peter,
I know that you didn’t have enough time to finish your homework yesterday. So you wanted to copy my homework this morning. I’m sorry I can’t give my homework to you. Because I think copying other’s homework is a bad habit. If you copy other’s homework, you’ll never know how to solve problems and may become lazy. I think it would be better if you do your homework by yourself. It’s good for your study and finally you’ll get good grades in the tests. I hope you’ll do well in your test.
yours,
Su Mei

假设你是某文杂志的“知心姐姐”(Agony Sister),Helen,请阅读下面的这封求助信,并根据信的内容写一封回信。
要求:1. 70词左右,信的开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数;2. 文中不要出现作者本人的真实信息。
Dear Helen,Last Sunday, my classmates and I went to the park. I wanted to take some photos. My father was out at that time, so I took his camera without telling him. Unfortunately, the camera was out of my bag and dropped on the ground when I was climbing the hill. It didn’t work at all. I put it back quietly after I returned home. And I haven’t told him till now. when I face to my father, I feel terrible. What should I do Yours,David
Dear David,
Yours,
Helen
【答案】
Dear David,
First, I think you’d better tell your father immediately. It you tell him the truth, he’ll be angry with you. But at least you’ll prove how honest you are. Then I think you should offer to pay. But you shouldn’t use your pocket money. Yes, a camera is expensive, maybe you can’t afford it. If you offer to do some jobs around the house, he’ll realize that you’re truly sorry. Oh, remember to be careful next tune.
Yours,
Helen

提示词:argue with sb. 和某人争吵
Dear Lucy,
Yours,
Dr. Clark
【答案】
Dear Lucy,
Thanks for telling me about your problems. First, stop arguing with your parents. Arguing with them can’t solve any problems and makes you angry. Remember: your parents love you deeply. Second, you should understand your parents. Watching TV too much is really bad for your study. Third, you can tell your parents what you think. You could tell them that watching TV can help you with your study. And you won’t watch too long.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Dr. Clark
