Answer 1

How time flies! Four months have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot help but miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.

The Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the first lunar month, is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese people worldwide. A few days before the festival, the houses are cleaned and the red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts.

On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one and another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country.

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇書信書面表達文章。請仔細閱讀引文，并按要求寫作。對于春節，每位中國的考生都不陌生，但與春節相關的一些活動、物品名稱對于大多數學生來說是很難用英語去翻譯的，所以這就要求學生在平時對一些專有名詞有很好的積累。在結構上要注意結構清晰及書信的書寫格式，語言上要注意句子的連貫與通順。最后也不要忘了給朋友的寄語。

亮點說明：用詞的準確，比如說lunar，Firecrackers，reunion等詞語可見考生平時很注意這方面的詞匯積累；句子結構的復雜，比如The Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the first lunar month, is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese people worldwide，which引導的非限制性定語從句與celebrated作后置定語體現了考生扎實的基本功。還有些比較好的短語：比如frighten away，ring out，vary from..to.，add to等。

考點：考查書信書面表達
