Answer 1

Dear Mr. Smith, I am so sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on British history, which is to be given tomorrow afternoon. My best friend is returning home from France, and I have promised to meet him at the airport at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. I am very much interested in British society and history. I wonder if it is possible for you to record the lecture, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk. Yours sincerely Zhang Ming

试题分析：考查应用文中的书信的写作。请你以张明的身份给你的英国老师Mr. Smith写一封短信请假条。要点都已经给出，书信类短文的关键在于要点要全面包括，不能有遗漏和省略。但是要点只是提纲，考生还要在此基础上增加细节，不要逐字逐句翻译，同时注意谋篇布局的顺序，运用合适的连接词连接全文，同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。审题时注意本文使用一般现在时，描述要尽量选择简洁的语言，运用合适的语法规则和词汇把各要点都准确表述出。难点在于选择词汇和句型，可以灵活运用高级词汇和固定短语准确表述。还要用适当的连接词被句子连接起来，这样文章显得更连贯。 【亮点说明】I am so sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on British history, which is to be given tomorrow afternoon. 这句话里面有非限制性定语从句， I wonder if it is possible for you to record the lecture, and if so, could I borrow the tape? 这句话有it做形式主语，和宾语从句，It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.这句话用了宾语从句。
