Answer 1

If you are invited to dinner in Australia, be sure not to be there earlier than the
time set. You may get there five or ten minutes later, if you arrive earlier, the host and the hostess may still be busy preparing the dishes. Both would feel uneasy.
If something unexpected turns up and you can’t get there on time, you should call and tell them that you will be late. And if you arrive late, just apologize and then do not worry about it.
You don’t have to bring any gifts to the host or hostess. But for the first time, it is better to bring a small gift, for example, a bottle of wine or a bunch of flowers.
If there are some dishes you don’t like, just leave them as they are. Do not forget to tell the host or hostess how much you have enjoyed the dishes when dinner is over.

考查提綱類(lèi)作文的寫(xiě)作。話題是“就餐禮儀”，要點(diǎn)是以提綱的形式表示的，要適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，不能只是把要點(diǎn)翻譯成英語(yǔ)、，注意改變文章的樣式。難度在于選擇合適的詞匯和句型表達(dá)文章需要的意思，可以變換使用一些容易駕馭的句子或者詞匯實(shí)現(xiàn)同樣的目的。這篇文章多次使用if的條件句，這也是因?yàn)槲恼碌膬?nèi)容導(dǎo)致，還有it is better to bring a small gift, for example, a bottle of wine or a bunch of flowers.這句話是很常用的it做形式主語(yǔ)的用法，Do not forget to tell the host or hostess how much you have enjoyed the dishes when dinner is over. 這句話的賓語(yǔ)從句用的很好，還要使用合適的連接詞來(lái)連接各要點(diǎn)，使文章成為一個(gè)整體。
