Directions:Suppose you want to be an English teaching assistant of Professor Smith, a foreign expert. Write him an email to

1)express your interest, and

2)introduce yourself.

 

Dear Professor Smith,

    My name is Li Ming, a freshman of our college. I am writing to express my keen interest in the position of English teaching assistant.

 

    Firstly, I am majoring in English（需要时换成TCSL）, with excellent performance achieved in the core curriculum. Secondly, I was chosen to be an exchange student, who lived in the US for one year. I can speak English without a hitch（需要时加上Chinese，另外可以补一句：我十分了解中国文化和中文教学法teaching skills）. Finally, I served as a student leader in the Students’ Union. The work experience has improved my organizational, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.

 

    Being your assistant would be a fabulous opportunity to practise myself. I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

 

尊敬的史密斯教授：

 

我叫李明，是咱们学校的一名大一学生。我写这封信是想表达我对助教工作的浓厚兴趣。

 

首先，我学习英语专业，专业课均取得了优异成绩。其次，我曾被选拔成为交换生，在美国生活过一年，我可以毫无障碍地使用英语。最后，我曾在学生会担任学生干部。这段工作经历大大提高了我的组织能力、人际沟通能力和解决问题的能力。

 

成为您的英文助教将会是一次绝妙的机会锻炼自己。如果您能认真考虑我的请求，我会十分感激。期待您的回复。

 

祝好，

李明

 

 

 

Directions:Suppose one of your foreign friends Jack asked advice about how to learn Chinese well from you. Write him a reply to

1)encourage him, and

2)give your advice

 

Dear Jack,

    I hope this email finds you well.（熟人之间的寒暄）Learning Chinese is an arduous but rewarding process. I am sure your hard work will pay off.（鼓励对方的句子）In order to help you get out of trouble, the following suggestions, I suppose, would be of great help.

 

    Firstly,if I were you, I would（提建议的拿分表达1） find a language partner（不一定每次都take a positive attitude）. Only by doing so can you remove all doubts when you practise pronunciation.Secondly, it would be a good idea to（提建议的拿分表达2） draw on successful experience from Prof. Sun（不一定每次都写other people，此处可个性化替换）, who is a famous language teaching expert, which will be a “shortcut” to get a clear perspective of Chinese study. Finally, it will be advisable for you to（提建议的拿分表达3） make a down-to-earth plan to make improvements.

 

    I hope these tips can help you. Just let me know if you still have any other questions.Best wishes,Li Ming

 

 

亲爱的杰克：

    我希望你收到这封邮件时一切安好。学习中文是一个艰辛但有回报的过程。我相信你的付出会有收获。为了帮助你摆脱烦恼，我想接下来的建议会很有帮助。

 

    首先，如果我是你，我会找一个语伴。只有这样，你才能在练习发音时消除所有疑虑。其次，从孙教授那里借鉴成功的经验是个好点子。他是语言教学专家，这会是对中文学习有一个清晰认识的捷径。最后，建议你制定一个切实可行的计划做出改善。

 

    我希望这些建议能帮到你。如果你还有其他问题，请和我联系。

 

祝好，

李明

 

 

 

Directions:

Suppose an English-speaking friend wants to spend a two-week holiday in your country and has written asking for information and advice. Write him/her a reply to

1) offer to find somewhere to stay, and

2) give advice about what to do.

 

Dear Jack,

    I’m delighted that you are coming to Beijing next month. I think it would be great if you could stay with me and my family. Otherwise, I can book you a cheap but comfortable hotel.

 

    There are lots of things to do in my hometown.Firstly, if I were you, I would spend some days exploring historic sites in the city, such as the Forbidden City (用提建议的句型引出建议1),which has gained much popularity these days. Almost all foreign people show keen interest in it (用推荐万物的句型来拓展！). Secondly, it would be a good idea to taste some Chinese food (用提建议的句型引出建议2), which will be a fabulous opportunity to learn about Chinese people’s dietary habits (用介绍校园活动好处的句型来拓展！当然，也可以用推荐万物的句型来拓展，比如：Tasting Chinese snacks will completely meet your expectations and satisfy your taste buds 品尝中国小吃将完全满足你的期待并满足你的味蕾).

 

 

说明：本题是建议信，但为什么不完全使用“解决问题的三大万能建议”呢？因为三大万能建议是在假设对方会“身陷囹圄、遭遇困难、遇到烦恼”时用的，比如给对方提完成论文的建议、找工作的建议、准备英文演讲比赛的建议，这些题的共性是可以想象对方遭遇了困难，比如不知道论文怎么写、工作四处碰壁、演讲比赛准备受挫。但本题是给对方提来中国做些什么的建议，更像是“推荐”对方做些什么。因此，提建议时用“解决问题的三大万能建议”句型，但拓展时，要借鉴“推荐万物”的句型，大家明白了不？

 

    Please let me know exactly when you’re coming so I can meet you at the airport. It’ll be great to see you again.

 

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

 

亲爱的杰克：

 

    我很高兴你下个月将要来北京。我想如果你能和我还有我的家人住在一起那就太好了。要不然，我也可以给你预定一家便宜但舒适的酒店。

 

    在我的家乡有很多事情可以做。首先，如果我是你，我会花费几天的时间探索城市里的历史景点，比如故宫。故宫近年来倍受追捧，几乎所有外国人都对它展现出了浓厚兴趣。其次，品尝一些中国美食是个好点子，这是一次绝妙的机会，可以了解中国人的饮食习惯。

 

    请告诉我你具体何时到达，以便我可以去机场接你。能再看到你真是太棒了。

 

祝好，

李明

 

 

 

Directions:

Suppose you have some problems in preparing for the English speech contest. Write your professor an email to1) say what problems you met, and2) ask him for help.

 

Dear Professor,

    I am writing to talk about some troubles while I am preparing for the English speech contest and ask for advice from you.

 

    Firstly, I consider it really awkward and tough to build confidence and overcome the anxiety（描述困境句型1）.I am very eager to know what I can do to reverse the current situation（救救我呀！）. Secondly, without successful experience to draw on, I find it rather difficult to determine a proper topic for my presentation（描述困境句型2）.Could you possibly give me some suggestions about that?（救救我呀！）

 

 

说明：求助信，或征询意见信，大圣倡导的写法是：描述困境1+救救我呀！描述困境2+救救我呀！而不是：困境1、困境2、困境3+救救我，救救我，救救我……

 

描述困境的句型：I consider it really awkward and tough to do sth.（结合写信情景，个性化填充，比较万能的表达：build confidence, overcome the anxiety）Without successful experience to draw on, I find it rather difficult to do sth. （结合写信情景，个性化填充，此处无万能表达）

 

    I would appreciate it if you could give me some tips and help me get out of trouble. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

 

尊敬的教授：
 

    我写这封信是想谈谈我准备英文演讲比赛时遇到的问题，并向你征询意见。

 

    首先，我觉得树立信心、克服焦虑真的很棘手且困难。我很想知道我该做些什么才能扭转当前的局面。其次，我没有成功的经验可以借鉴，我发现很难确定合适的演讲主题。你能给我一些建议吗？

 

    如果您能给我一些建议，并帮我摆脱烦恼，我会十分感激。期待您的回复。

 

祝好，
