Answer 1

One possible version：
Dear Paul,
You mentioned you are interested in Chinese table manners, so I’m writing to give you a brief introduction.
When a dinner begins, the host will invite the guests to get seated first. Then one major feature you should remember in China is that we use chopsticks instead of knife and fork, and everyone should try to avoid making unpleasant noise while eating. Whenever a dish is served, the guests are supposed to try it first. Of course, as guests, we should express our thanks to the host after enjoying the dinner.
Such are the basic tips about Chinese table manners. All in all, “When in China, do as the Chinese do” is your best choice.  (115 words)
Yours truly,
Li Hua

試題分析：本篇書面表達要求寫一封郵件介紹中國的用餐習俗，內容簡單，貼近生活。在內容上屬于說明文，所以其篇章結構可以按照三段式進行寫作。文章第一段是引言段，提出要解決的問題，就本文來講就是要提出寫作目的。第二段也就是正文段要介紹中國的餐桌禮儀，寫作時要簡單明了，條理清晰。在時態(tài)方面因為是介紹習俗禮儀所以文章可以用一般現(xiàn)在時。此外還要注意適當增添細節(jié)，正確使用連接詞，以便使文章內容豐滿，語言連貫。
【亮點說明】文章要點全面，語言簡潔。在介紹餐桌禮儀部分作者按照餐前，餐中，餐后的順序進行介紹，使文章條理清楚，層次分明。而且文中多種句式的使用，比如狀語從句：when a dinner begins ,; whenever a dish is served 表語從句和定語從句one major feature you should remember in China is that we use chopsticks instead of knife and fork ,也讓文章亮點紛呈。此外，倒裝句Such are the basic tips about Chinese table manners和過渡詞all in all , then, so 等的使用更使文章結構緊湊，文字連貫流暢。
