☆试题分析
1. 内容维度:
(1)审题偏差,导致信息点不当,未能按写作要求完成交际任务。例如:只介绍活动具体内容,完全没有提到活动意义;大篇幅介绍端午节的由来和历史;活动意义只提及端午节起源,没有联系到体验文化或双方交流与友谊等相关内容;等等。
(2) 拓展了无关的信息,例如:比赛流程或规则、参赛队伍数量、奖励规定等。有的同学还在信件中题型对方打伞、穿雨衣、多喝水,称赞对方学校英文好,有助于提高我校学生会英语水平等。
(3) 文化常识缺失,内容与事实不符,例如:将龙舟竞渡错误解读成清明节,中秋节或元宵节的活动。
(4) 遗漏信息点,例如:漏写了回复时间
2. 篇章维度
(1) 内容糅杂,没有适当分段,或分段过多,可读性较差。
(2) 信息点呈现的次序不合理,相互之间缺乏内在的逻辑关联,层次不分明。
(3) 有意识地使用了连接词,但由于使用不当,使得行文生硬,如:机械套用first, second, finally; therefore用在非因果关系中;乱用last but not least等等。
(4) 读者意识薄弱,未高清写作对象,人称混乱,措辞不当或不得体,例如:
I am writing to invite our sister school- Cambridge High School…
You had better/must reply to me before April 15th.

☆佳作欣赏I
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. It is my great honor to inform you that our school is going to hold a Dragon Boat Race to celebrate the traditional festival, which is intended to recall our memory of the great poet, Qu Yuan.
We sincerely hope that the students and teachers in your school will participate in such a meaningful activity, where I am sure that you will enjoy a good time.
The race will be held from May 25th to 30th in Sha Mian, a beautiful small place surrounded with trees and abundant in historical buildings. Besides, there is a “Gourmet Food Festival (?http:?/??/?dict.youdao.com?/?w?/?eng?/?gourmet_food_festival?/?" \l "keyfrom=dict.phrase.wordgroup?)”, which provides you with an opportunity to try the traditional food in China.
As there are many other things we need to prepare for, I am wondering whether you can give me a reply before April 15th. We do hope you will come and share our joy .Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Dear sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. Representing our school, I’m writing to invite your school to participate in the Dragon Boat Race organized by our school. This race is regarded as one of the Chinese traditions, so we want to share the enjoyment with you.
The race will be held from May 25th to May 30th in ShaMian, where the scenery is quite enjoyable.
As is known to all, the Dragon Boat Race dates back to the ancient china and is held in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet and politician. As for us, two sister schools, it’s also a great opportunity to communicate with each other and strengthen our friendship.
We sincerely hope that you will accept the invitation and please reply to me before April 15th.
亮点点评:
It is my great honor to do sth… 句式运用地道,优美,得体,符合书信礼貌用语,也反映出考生平时扎实的语言积累。
……,which is intended to recall our memory of the great poet, Qu Yuan. 定语从句运用娴熟,使句子的层次丰富,加上be intended to 短语的运用,使这句话读起来亮点突出,非常具有美感。
……, a beautiful small place surrounded with trees and abundant in historical buildings. 这是一个同位语结构,和前面的Shamian这个地名同位。这样的句式很有英语味道,属于高级句式。同学们可以平时注意积累类似句式。
I am wondering whether…句式礼貌,合乎礼仪。
亮点点评:
Representing our school, 非谓语结构做状语是高中学生应该掌握的作文句式提高重要手段。
…, where the scenery is quite enjoyable.这个定语从句虽然不算复杂,但是用的恰到好处,为读者补充说明了沙面的情况。比起两个并列句可读性强很多。试比较:The race will be held from May 25th to May 30th in ShaMian and the scenery is quite enjoyable there.(效果差)
善于运用高中阶段的重点短语,如:dates back to,in memory of等,可以向改卷老师传递作者英语基础非常扎实的信息。
