Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jim,

I am glad to tell you something about the Chinese naming practice.

Unlike your tradition, the family name in China is put first, followed by the given name, which usually contains one or two Chinese characters. Chinese people often name a baby with their best wishes in mind, like wishes for good health, bright future and happiness. Some names imply the birth time, birth place, or even a natural phenomenon at the time of birth. Besides, parents also need to consider how the names sound to avoid being teased or given a bad nickname.

As for your Chinese name, how about Ji Xiang？It means “good luck” and the first character has a similar pronunciation to your name Jim. I hope you’ll love this Chinese name.

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】本篇書面表達(dá)屬于提綱類作文，根據(jù)提示信息寫作時(shí)注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1、審題。仔細(xì)閱讀有關(guān)提示，弄清試題提供的所有信息，明確幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)：介紹中國(guó)人起名字的習(xí)慣；給他起一個(gè)中文名字；說(shuō)明起此名字的理由．

2、進(jìn)行構(gòu)思，列出簡(jiǎn)單的提綱。提綱是文章的總體框架，要在提綱的范圍內(nèi)進(jìn)行分析、構(gòu)思和想象．要依據(jù)提示情景或詞語(yǔ)，按照一定邏輯關(guān)系來(lái)寫．本文寫作時(shí)可以按照要點(diǎn)所給的順序?qū)懀?/span>

3、擴(kuò)展成文。根據(jù)要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容確定句子的時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)；就本文而言應(yīng)該用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。注意使用高級(jí)詞匯和句式，以增加文章的亮點(diǎn)．

【亮點(diǎn)說(shuō)明】本文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，層次分明，而且使用了多句式表達(dá)：既有非謂語(yǔ)，又有定語(yǔ)從句、狀語(yǔ)從句和名詞從句，給文章增分許多，另外一些較記級(jí)的詞匯及連詞（besides），也讓文章內(nèi)容更加豐富多彩。

非謂語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)：Unlike your tradition，the family name in China is put first，followed by the given name．。非限制性定語(yǔ)從句：, followed by the given name, which usually contains one or two Chines。由and引導(dǎo)的并列句：It means “good luck” and the first character has a similar pronunciation to your name Jim. 及由hope引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句：I hope you’ll love this Chinese name. 文章中使用了一些較高級(jí)的詞匯如：Unlike 不像…一樣；at the time of在…的時(shí)候；In terms of關(guān)于；because of由于；As for至于
