Answer 1

【答案】

Dear Susan,

Since you mentioned your interest in the Qingming Festival, I did some research and have learned a lot about this traditional festival.

Qingming Festival, also called the Tomb Sweeping Day, is usually celebrated between April 4 and April 6. This festival dates back to 2,500 years ago. It’s a time for remembering loved ones who have passed away. When visiting the tombs of their lost loved ones, people usually sweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds. They also offer varieties of food and flowers in front of the tomb. Some even burn paper money, hoping to keep the ancestors happy, as Chinese believe that the spirits of past ancestors look after the living.

Qingming Festival also marks the beginning of the planting season and outdoor activities. So, in a way, on this day both life and death are respected.

When and how do you pay your respect to your ancestors? Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Fang

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇提綱作文，要求根據(jù)所給的信息給Susan寫(xiě)一封電子郵件，介紹中國(guó)的清明節(jié)。根據(jù)提示的信息可知，文章應(yīng)從清明節(jié)的由來(lái)、人們?cè)谇迕鞴?jié)的活動(dòng)等幾個(gè)方面入手。寫(xiě)作時(shí)要充分發(fā)揮想象，適當(dāng)?shù)奶砑幼约旱挠^點(diǎn)， 使文章內(nèi)容豐滿(mǎn)，并達(dá)到要求的字?jǐn)?shù)。此外，為了提高文章檔次，還要注意使用多種句式和高級(jí)詞匯，并添加關(guān)聯(lián)詞讓行文流暢。

【亮點(diǎn)說(shuō)明】本篇書(shū)面表達(dá)格式規(guī)范，語(yǔ)言流暢。第一、二段概括了清明節(jié)的歷史；第三段介紹了清明節(jié)在農(nóng)業(yè)方面的意義；第四段詢(xún)問(wèn)對(duì)方如何祭奠祖先。本文的亮點(diǎn)是運(yùn)用了復(fù)雜的句式如定語(yǔ)從句，被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)等，提升了文章的檔次；date back、in a way 等結(jié)構(gòu)的運(yùn)用也為文章增添了亮色。
