【精彩表达】taking part in;not only…but also… , …which is important to their further study and
a bright outlook; Outgoing and energetic, I can…; As to…; correspondingly; I will be grateful if…
【错误纠正】① 冠词使用错误,应改为 an。activity 首字母发音为元音,故用冠词 an。
② for 改为 to, “对……有好处”应用短语 do good to。
③ be tired with 意为“因……而感到劳累”,考生在此处要表达的是“因……而
感到厌倦”,应使用 be tired of。
④ 短语错误,应改为 most importantly,用副词做状语起补充说明的作用。
⑤ improve 应使用过去分词形式作 get 的表语,get done 表示被动。

I’m Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two of Chenguang Middle School. As far as I am
concerned, I believe to teach English for pupils from Chenxi Hope School will be good for both
the primary-school students and high-school student tutor, which thus will result in substantial
social benefits.

being independent in life and proficient in English. That’s why I apply for the position; I hope I
can join the instructive activity.
My plan for coaching the pupils is to teach them by listening, speaking, reading and writing.
What’s more important is to stimulate their interests in learning English as a foreign language,
creating a good learning environment. I hope you can offer the opportunity.Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 推荐信
一、写作指导
推荐信的基本功能是说明被推荐人的性格、能力和品行,评估申请人是否具备未来发
展的必要的学术或专业资格。推荐信必须由具有公信力的人撰写才有信服力。推荐人必须诚
实,且推荐信内容均需以事实为依据。好的推荐信应当由具备相当知名度且与申请人熟识的
人撰写。申请人的长官、同事或学校里的老师是最佳人选。但是在高中英语写作中的推荐信
多为自荐信。自荐信即自己推荐自己,多用在求职或上学中,作者本人要对自己的情况实事

【学生写作实况】
EIL International English Summer Camp
EIL was founded in Britain in 1936 with the fundamental aim of international
understanding “Learn to live together by living together”.
Requirements: Over 16; good knowledge of English; outgoing; working well with children
between 7—12;
Activities: Language study, outdoor recreation and travel
Campers: Students from different countries
Camp site: Mount Wuyi, Fujian
Time: July 26—August 9
Application deadline: July 15, 2008
If interested, please e—mail to infoaeiluk. LorgDear Sir,
I’m Li Hua from Fujian, aged 19. The moment I saw the advertisement, I’m deeply
impressed by the subject and I’m eager to join you.
The purpose of this activity is meaningful. As we are living in one world, we have to learn to
live together ① peaceful with various people. It’s important to get on well with ② the others.
Only in this way can we live better. Besides, I think the Summer Camp offers me a chance to
practice my fluent English with my foreign kids to deal with. I’ll be more patient and ③ carefully
with my work. What’s more, I’m sure I’ll develop myself a lot to adapt to the society.
As for me, a Senior Three student, I love English and ④ be with others together.
I’d appreciate it if I could ⑤ be admitted by the group. And I am looking forward to your
reply.
【名师评析】本文内容完整,表达详细,条理清晰。用词丰富多彩,过渡词用法准确,语气
委婉,符合自荐信的要求。only 引起的倒装句以及“I’d appreciate it if ...”句
型为本文的亮点句子,值得借鉴。
【精彩表达】the moment 起连词作用,引导时间状语从句;be deeply impressed by...;be eager
to do;get on well with sb.;only in this way can we ...,only 加状语放在句首时主
句采用倒装形式;besides;adapt to;what’s more;as for sb.;“I’d appreciate it
if ...” 句型等。
【错误纠正】① peaceful 应改为 peacefully;应该用副词修饰动词 live。
② 去掉 the。加 the 是学生易犯的错误。错误原因:“the other +名词”特指“其
他的……”;“other + 名词”(泛指“其他的……”),others 为代词。
③ carefully 应改为 careful。此处与形容词 patient 并列,在句中作表语,所以也
应该用形容词形式。
④ be 应改为 being。错误原因:与前面的 English 并列, 用动名词形式做 love
的宾语。
⑤ by 应为 to。错误原因:“被录取”很容易记成 be admitted by, 属学生易
错之处。
【唯美范文】
Dear sir,I’m Li Hua from Fujian. When I was reading the advertisement, the aim of this activity
impressed me greatly, I think it instructive to learn to live together by living together. It is a
good opportunity for the only child like me to learn to share and work together. Therefore I
recommend myself to you without hesitation.
As a boy of 17, I am outgoing, good at English and have experience of working well with
children aged from 7 to 12, I think it is a kind of win-win activity. For one thing, I can help take
care of the children. For another thing, I can improve my English, make more friends, and
enrich my life during the summer vacation.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

题 海 拾 贝 安 徽 高 考 英 语 真 题
假设你是李华,作为选派的交流学生在美国某中学学习了一年,寄住在 Mr. Brown 家里,
刚回到国内。回国后你发现自己的一本英语词典遗忘在他家,因此给他写一封信,请他帮助
寄回词典。信的主要内容如下:
* 感谢在美国期间他所提供的帮助。
* 说明一本英语词典忘记带回。
* 词典是一位美国老师送的,非常珍贵。
* 词典很可能丢在卧室的书架上。
* 邮资自己付。
注意:1.词数 100 左右;信的开头和结尾已为你写好。
2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
3.参考词汇:邮资 postage。
Dear Mr. Brown,
Yours,
Li Hua
【思路点拨】时态定位:一般现在时和一般过去时。
得分点分析:
(1)表达感谢之情;
(2)提出需要帮忙的事情。
【学生写作实况】
Dear Mr. Brown,
I really appreciate the help you ① offered me in America. And I’m sorry to bother you
again, for I have left an English dictionary in your house by carelessness. It is a gift from an
American teacher, which ② means very precious to me. Therefore I will be very grateful if
you can send it back. There is much possibility that it still remains on the bookshelf ③ in
bedroom. Its cover has a bright color so you will find it ④ easy. By the way, the postage will
be paid by me. It is very kind ⑤ for you to do so. Best wishes
Yours,
Li Hua
【名师评析】语言表达简明、准确,用委婉客气的语气表达了写信的目的。对各种从句的使
用灵活、有效。
【精彩表达】It is a gift from an American teacher, which means...;I will be very grateful if
you ...;There is much possibility that...
【错误纠正】① 动词 offer 使用错误。这里讲的是在美国期间发生的事情,是过去发生的事,
所以使用一般过去时态,故 offer 应改改为 offered to me。
② 本句在使用定语从句的过程中出现了语法错误,动词 means 之后不可以跟
形容词,所以 means very precious 应调整为 means a lot。
③ 此处在名词 bedroom 前丢了冠词,应改为 in the bedroom。
④ 修饰动词 find 应使用副词,所以 easy 应改为 easily。
⑤ 此处应使用介词 of。It’s kind of sb. to do sth 为固定搭配, kind 是用来形容
sb.的,意思为“某人这么做真是太善良了”。
唯美范文:
Dear Mr. Brown,
I’m now safely back home. Thank you very much for all the kindness I got from you during
my stay. Hope everything is fine with you there.
Now I wonder whether I could ask a favor of you. When I came back, I suddenly realized
that I had left my English dictionary behind at your place. It is a precious gift from my American
teacher. Would you please be so kind as to send it back to me? I’ll pay for the postage. The
dictionary must be on the bookshelf in my bedroom. It is the one with a red cover.
Thanks and all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
第四节 投诉信一、写作指导
西方人非常有法律维权意识,如果自己的正当权益受到侵犯的时候(比如对服务不满、
对商品不满),他们通常会用投诉的形式来表达自己的不满情绪。
投诉不能变成谩骂和指责,而应该有理有据地说明问题所在。所以必须充分说明自己的
证据才能让人信服。
二、常用句型
(1)I am writing to complain about … 我写此投诉有关……的情况。
(2)We know that you are seldom careless, but we would like your assurance that this will
not happen again.
我知道你们并不经常出错,但我们希望您能确保这类差错不再发生。
(3)I must warn you that unless you do something about the situation I will be forced to take
legal action.
我必须敬告贵方,除非你们对目前的状况采取一定措施,否则我将采取诉诸法律
(4)To be frank, I am not prepared to put up with the situation any more.
坦率地说,我不准备继续忍受这种状况。
(5)I feel something should be done about … 我觉得应该对……采取措施。
(6)I expect to hear from you soon. 希望不久后收到你的来信。
(7)Please give this matter your immediate attention. 请对此事迅速予以关注。

Dear Sir,
I’m writing to you for the mobile phone of Dephone-S250 I bought on 20th April, 2008 at
Tele Mall in Wuhan, P.R.China. ____________________________________________________
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
【思路点拨】时态定位:一般现在时。
得分点分析:
(1)结构完整;
(2)说明手机的具体问题及遇到的困难(表明态度及要求)。
【学生写作实况】
Dear Sir,
The mobile phone is of ① bad quality. To my disappointment, it does not work at all. The
problems are as follows:
First, the bell doesn’t ring at all, which means seldom can I ② receive the call immediately.
Besides, the phones of this kind are all sold out. It’s obvious that I can’t ③ change a new one.
Worse still, this type of phone is new and there are no spare parts. Therefore, it ④ can’t repaire,
either.
With so many problems ⑤ solve, I demand that the company should change a new one for
me. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
【名师评析】这篇文章的语言简洁流畅,层层深入,娓娓道出了所购买手机出现的问题以及
为此请求厂家给予更换。文章的亮点在于语言准确连贯,语气诚恳得体,思路
清晰,逻辑性强。是一篇值得借鉴的优秀作文。
【精彩表达】be of...; to one’s disappointment; as follows; besides; sell out; It’s obvious that...;
worse still; therefore; look forward to
【错误纠正】① bad 改成 poor。表达比较地道。 ② receive the call immediately 改为 answer the phone in time。错误原因:用词不
当,表达不清楚。
③ change 改为 exchange for。错误原因:这里混淆了 change(变化)和 exchange
(更换)的用法。此处应为“更换”为一部新手机,而并非“变化”为一部新
手机。
④ 在 solve 前加 to。with 的复合结构为“with + n. + to do”。
⑤ can’t repaire 改为 can’t be repaired。it 指第一段开头提到的已坏了的 the mobile
phone(这部新手机),手机是“被”修的,所以需使用被动语态。
【唯美范文】
Dear Sir,
I’m writing to you for the mobile phone of Dephone-S250 I bought on 20th April, 2
008 at Tele Mall in Wuhan, P.R.China. Ten days after that, it didn’t ring and send short
messages. Then I took it to the seller, but was told that the model had been sold out and
I had to wait at least three months for a new one. Later I went to the repairman. He sai
d that since it was a new model in China, it was impossible to fix it without the right s
pare parts. I was so desperate on hearing that. How can I wait that long? Therefore, I re
quire that you send me a new one of the same model within a month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
