Answer 1

Dear Xiao Wang,
I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.
It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I’m looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua

解析這是一篇書信，文章開頭結尾已經給出，只需要表達清楚要點。寫作時首先要注意文章的段落結構，因為這是回信，所以第一段應該交代上封信的內容，要解答的問題。第二段主要是給出筆者的建議。第三段總結。其中第二段是重點。
在表達要點是切記不能逐字逐句翻譯，不能用漢語式的表達，這就需要用地道的英語句型，還要使用一些常用短語，這樣才能符合英語習慣。如：I have received and read your letter, in which you mentioned that you wanted to lose weight by dieting.這是非限制性定語從句的用法。還有It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. /it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits ，it做形式主語也是英語中常用的句型。studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second.這句話中，while的用法也很巧妙。另外名詞性從句也是英語寫作中常用的，如：The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind。我們在寫作中要熟練的運用這些常用句型，而且要經常嘗試不同的表達法，不能千篇一律，才能寫出好的文章。
