Answer

Dear Tom,

I'm very happy that you are interested in traditional Chinese stories. Well, let me tell you a famous one with the name “Sima Guang hit the tank”.

Once Sima Guang was playing hide and seek with several children in the backyard. There was a large water tank in the yard. It was full of water. When the kids were playing, one child accidentally fell into the tank. Other children were so frightened that they started to run, crying for help. However, Sima Guang was different. He thought it over and then had an idea. He picked up a big stone and threw it at the tank. “Bang!”The tank broke and the water ran out. The kid was saved.

Do you like the story? What do you think of Sima Guang?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Li Mei

【解析】试题分析：

这是一篇给材料作文，根据所给图画，给Tom回复一封E-mail，向他讲述这一经典故事，并希望知道他对该故事及主人公的看法。结合所给材料，可知本文主要考查一般现在时和一般过去时，人称为单数第一，三人称，注意主谓一致问题，句子结构主要为系表结构和动宾结构，注意一些常见句式的应用，比如：I'm very happy that……, Once Sima Guang was……, There was……, Other children were so frightened that……, He thought……句式的应用。写作中注意运用代词，注意多种句式交替运用。写作中注意叙述顺序，符合逻辑关系。

点睛：本文结构紧凑，语言简练。开头我很高兴他对中国传统的故事感兴趣，接下来讲述《司马光砸缸》的故事，最后想知道他对这个故事以及主人公的看法。此处用了be interested in, in the backyard, fall into, so……that……,think over, pick up, think of, look forward to doing sth, hear from等这些词组，也让文章增色不少。
