Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Peter

I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday. It is very kind of you to invite me to your house and I hopefully want to celebrate your birthday with you and express my best wishes to you. Much to my regret, I will be absent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, for which I am now quite busy preparing. What’s worse, I have caught a bad cold lately and I am really not myself.

I am truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies. I believe we will have many more chances to get together. Shall we make it after the Exam?

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Li Hua

試題分析：考查應用文中的書信的寫作。請你以李華的名義給你的一位美國留學生朋友Peter寫一封電子郵件，說明你不能參加本周日在他家舉辦的生日聚會，要點都已經給出，書信類短文的關鍵在于要點要全面包括，不能有遺漏和省略。但是要點只是提綱，考生還要在此基礎上增加細節，不要逐字逐句翻譯，同時注意謀篇布局的順序，運用合適的連接詞連接全文，同時選擇高級的詞匯和語法項目讓文章更有文采。審題時注意本文使用一般現在時，描述要盡量選擇簡潔的語言，運用合適的語法規則和詞匯把各要點都準確表述出。難點在于選擇詞匯和句型，可以靈活運用高級詞匯和固定短語準確表述。還要用適當的連接詞被句子連接起來，這樣文章顯得更連貫。

【亮點說明】Much to my regret,這是固定詞組“使我遺憾的是”，I will be absent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, for which I am now quite busy preparing. 這句話用了非限制性定語從句， I have caught a bad cold lately and I am really not myself.這里的I am really not myself.我不舒服，比I’m ill好多了， I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies.這句話用的是賓語從句，還有文章還用了What’s worse,這樣的詞組使文章更連貫。

考點：考查書信類短文
