Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear that you and your family are coming to visit China.
China is a great country with a very long history, so there are lots of places of interest here. It is the best time for you to visit China in autumn. Because the weather then is neither too cold nor too hot. When you come here, you can first go to Beijing and pay a visit to the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Palace Museum and the Bird’s Nest. After that you can travel with agencies to other famous places, such as Jiuzhaigou, Guilin and so on.
I’m looking forward to seeing you.
Yours,
Li Hua

①此句以时间状语开头,非常自然而又简洁地回应了题设的要求,点明了国庆节期间和家人一起游览天马山这一经历,也奠定了后文中描写游览行程的时态基础。
②that引导的定语从句不但描绘了天马山优美的景色,而且使文章结构紧凑。此外,such as后所列举的例子使文章细节丰富,句子充实而有生机。
③“it takes sb.+时间/金钱+ to do sth.”是表示“花费时间/金钱做某事”的常用表达,用在此处十分恰当。
④本句使用了感叹句结构:“What + a/an + 形容词/副词+名词的单数(+主语+谓语)!”。感叹句所表达出的强烈语气符合作者对天马山优美景色的赞叹,增加了文章的可读性。
⑤“played”、 “sang”、 “had”用词简单却贴切,三个动词短语的并列为读者展现了作者一家人玩游戏、唱歌、野餐的欢乐场景,极具画面感和感染力。
⑥although引导的让步状语从句不仅句式精彩,而且非常到位地表达了作者一家人虽然累却快乐的心情。

Dear Li Hua,
Thank you for your email. You want to know something about the customs in New Zealand. OK, let me tell you some. First, the topics that people in New Zealand talk about are usually weather and sports. Secondly, many families in New Zealand have their own gardens. On weekends, people either work in their garden or go out for their holidays. Thirdly, if you are invented to a New Zealander’s home for dinner, you don’t need to take very expensive gifts. You can take a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine to the host, or a bunch of flowers to the hostess.
Best wishes!
Your friend,
Li Ming

你上个月与父母去北京度假了。在北京游览了很多地方,包括紫禁城、颐和园和长城等,你被这个现代化的大都市的发展所震惊了。同时给你留下深刻印象的还有人们的友好以及一些人甚至会说英语。请你写一篇100词左右的短文介绍一下你的北京之行。
参考词汇:admire钦佩;the Forbidden City紫禁城;the Summer Palace颐和园;the Great Wall。
I went to Beijing on vacation with my parents last month and we stayed there for a week.
To my surprise, Beijing is such a modern city that my parents and I all admire the development of it. We visited many wonderful places there, such as the the Forbidden, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. What impresses me most is that the people there are very friendly and some of them can even speak English. But I still think that there are some problems of this city which I dislike. There are too many people and the traffic is too heavy. If there were fewer people and less traffic, it would be better.
