1.首段——开门见山,直入主题
英语书信的特点是开门见山,用简洁的语言引出文章的主题,使读者清楚文章要说什么。
①I'm writing to tell you that my uncle Li Ming is going to your city for a conference, and I've asked him to bring you the Chinese painting you've asked for before.
②I'd like to ask you to write an article for our school's English newspaper.
2.中段——适当发挥,突出主题
在写作提示中有“可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯”的要求。其实,如果仅罗列提示中的要点,这样拼凑出的文章难免像缺少血肉的骨架,更谈不上有生气了。要使文章有血有肉,就要展开要点句,在合乎所给情景以及英语习惯的前提下,适当扩展句子,或添加一些提示中没有提及但对烘托主题又十分必要的信息。
