佳作賞析
Dear Peter,
As my middle-school life is coming to an end,I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for what you have done for me during the past three years.
Without your help, I would not have achieved much in learning English last year. Moreover, you offered so much encouragement while I was in low spirits. Thanks to your help, I became more confident and spent more time reading English books. The efforts have paid off and now English is my favorite subject. Thank you for entering my world and I will always remember what you have done for me.
Wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
點(diǎn)評(píng):本文是一篇感謝信的寫作,文章結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、要點(diǎn)齊備、行文連貫、時(shí)態(tài)準(zhǔn)確、語言得體、體現(xiàn)了作者扎實(shí)的語言基本功。文章使用without引導(dǎo)的含蓄虛擬語氣、be in low spirits、pay off,以及各類從句,如what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句(what you have done for me during the past three years.)和while引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句(while I was in low spirits),增加了文章的得分點(diǎn)。
另外,文章的交際性非常明確,“Thank you for entering my world and I will always remember what you have done for me.”一句尤為情真意切,體現(xiàn)了良好的交際策略。
