Answer

Dear Mark,

I know from your e-mail that you are learning Chinese this semester and ask me for some advice. Here are my suggestions.

First, you should listen carefully to your teacher in class and practice as often as possible after class because mastering a language requires a lot of practice. Second, I’d like to recommend you to read some Chinese story books, which helps you enlarge your vocabulary and understand the different meanings of the words. Third, I think it is a good idea to communicate with Chinese native speakers. Last but not least, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs are good ways to learn idiomatic Chinese.

I hope my advice will be helpful.

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】试题分析：随着时代的发展，电子邮件越来越受广大中学生的欢迎，所以写电子邮件是中学生经常做的事，这种形式的写作贴近学生生活，使他们感到熟悉。本文要求考生给笔友回信提出一些如何学好汉语的建议。考生可以结合自己的经验给出建议，同时发挥想象，增添内容，使文章更加丰满，但要注意分清主次。因为是给别人写邮件提建议，所以注意语言要礼貌，措辞要委婉，而且不要用生僻的词汇。此外，为了增加文章亮点，提高作文的档次，要尽量使用多种句式结构，如倒装句，强调句和各种从句等。并且要注意人称、时态和字数。
