Answer 1

Dear Bob,
It’s very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown, Taiyuan.
The city stands on the bank of the Fenhe River. it is a good place for people to live in as the climate here is neither too hot nor too cold.. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people.However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.
In my opinion, Tiayuan should develop its economy scientifially. I would also think that the groth of its population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
Xiaohua

解析試題分析：本文是一篇書信體作文。作文的主旨是：介紹家鄉太原的情況。主要包括兩大方面的內容：自然情況，成就，存在問題及對太原發展的看法。其中大部分要點都已經提示出來了，而且要點比較齊。只要適當增加細節，以使行文連貫流暢就行了。但在“對太原發展的看法”方面，內容是由考生自己擬定，故屬于半開放類作文。考生可以自由發揮，寫出兩三個要點就可以了。
考點：半開放類作文。
點評：注意回信作文首先要簡短的提一下寫信人的問題，用一個承接的句子，如本文中It’s very kind of you to write to me ...Now I’d like to tell you something about還可以記住一個通用的開頭格式：Thanks for your letter. I'm very glad to hear from you.(謝謝你的來信，收到你的信我非常高興)這是一個比較通用的回信開頭。其他的內容要依據來信內容或者要向對方陳述的內容而定。
