☆原题重现
假定你是李华,从互联网上得知一个国际中学生组织将在新加坡(Singapore)举办夏令营,欢迎各国学生参加。请写一封电子邮件申请参加。
内容包括:1.自我介绍 (包括英语能力);2.参加意图(介绍中国,了解其他国家);3.希望获准。
☆审题——申请信(Letters of Application)
一审体裁: 应用文中的申请信。特别注意两点:一是不要过分奉承对方,二是不要自吹自擂。
二审人称、时态和写作对象: “我”是李华,第一人称; 对方是一个国际组织,第二人称。一般现在时为主,陈述过去经历用一般过去时,陈述希望用一般将来时。
三审要点:题中要求写到三方面信息,可以按点分段并做总分总式拓展。须使用恰当的关联词语是行文流畅。
→本次审题普遍错误是没有考虑写作对象,以下这种直接翻译题目的开篇就是忽视了写作对象,写信时没有代入感: I know from the Internet that an international organization will hold a summer camp in Singapore. (写作对象就是这个国际组织,应改为I know from the Internet that you will hold a summer camp in Singapore.)

☆佳作欣赏I
Dear Sir or Madam,
Greetings from China!
Knowing that you are to hold a summer camp in Singapore, I’m writing to apply to be part of it. As a straight-A high school student, I am proficient in English and have no difficulty in communicating with native speakers, which meets your requirements concerning language.
Aiming to broaden my horizon and sharpen my mind, I’m eager to participate in this extracurricular activity to refresh myself both mentally and physically. Besides, it has long been one of my habits to introduce my beautiful country, China, to foreigners. It is my permanent hope that more and more people can have a better understanding of China’s inner beauty. Additionally, meeting with foreign friends offers a good opportunity to get to know other countries’ culture and customs by interacting with them.
I would highly appreciate it if a precious chance could be offered to me. I’m looking forward to your reply.
注意:如果将“语言能力”写入第一段,要明白这是申请加入该夏令营的一个条件,否则该句容易上下脱节,影响行文流畅。
也可以像“写作模板”中那样处理,将“语言能力”归入第二段。
Learning from......that......, I am writing to apply for/ to do
In reply to your advertisement in…, I am writing to apply for…
I sincerely hope… Your early response will be highly appreciated. I would be delighted to furnish additional information if needed.
