Question

假定你是某英文雜志“編讀往來”欄目的編輯，下面是一位讀者的來信，請你根據來信的內容給予回復。

Dear Gary, I am seventeen years old and I live in a small town with my parents. But soon my family will move out of the town and settle in a new city because my father has accepted a job from a large company. The problem is that I don’t want to leave the town because this is the place where I grew up and I have a lot of good friends here. What should I do? Yours,                         Annie

注意：詞數120左右。

 

Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Annie,

Thank you for your letter. I understand how you feel and I hope I have some good advice for you.

In my view, each choice has its advantages and disadvantages. If you choose to stay, you can continue to enjoy good time with your friends, but you will lose the opportunity to meet more new friends, and you may be separated from your parents. If you choose to leave, you have to adapt to a new environment, but you can broaden your horizons and stay with your parents.

In a word, as an independent teenager, I believe that you can make your final decision.

Yours,

Gary

【解析】

本文是要寫一封回信。完成本文的寫作，可分以下三步走：

一、審題。可從體裁、內容、結構三方面進行審題，同時有必要明確統籌全篇的主要時態。 1、體裁。寫作要求是根據來信寫一封回信，所以其體裁是書信，在就要求我們首先有熟悉書信的基本格式；

2、內容。回信的特點就是根據來函內容作出必要的答復；

3、結構。一般說來，中學英語寫作多采用兩段或三段式（再多了就顯得繁復雜亂），后者多用于議論文等體裁。另外，整篇文章在邏輯（不是形式）關系上，要始終注意保持時態一致。

二、構思。根據上面的審題，可先大致勾勒出文章中的主要句子，明確需要用到的主要詞語和表達。

三、寫作。用適當的過渡詞和關聯詞語，將上述主要內容和句子連接起來，便成了一篇比較令人滿意的回信和優秀的書面表達（見參考范文）。
