Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to express yourthanks to your parents or any other member upon making a memorable achievement.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
解析:
本次四級(jí)寫作是近年來鮮有的書信,這篇屬于感謝信,可參照考研小作文的模板,第一段交代寫信目的,即就某件事表達(dá)感激之情;第二段展開具體內(nèi)容,即感激的原因;第三段重申目的,再次表達(dá)謝意,(保持聯(lián)系)。就文章內(nèi)容,其實(shí)大家可以發(fā)現(xiàn),和我們四級(jí)歷年考過的介紹類說明文相似,在寫作課上,我們講過介紹人物類的通用話題,該人物的事跡,對你的影響,給予你的幫助…是不是可以靈活地搬到這篇文章中呢,只需要把人物跟你的關(guān)系換一下,把人物的事跡換成你的,再將他對你的影響和幫助用在中間段,文章就寫出來啦。
這里的一個(gè)生詞 “memorable”意思為“難忘的,值得回憶的”,同學(xué)們不認(rèn)得這個(gè)詞也沒關(guān)系,知道“thanks”和“achievement”就不會(huì)走題了。
信件寫作注意格式,要有稱謂,正文,敬語和署名。
Dear Cousin,
I amwriting this letter to tell you that I have been recruited by the InternationalOlympic Committee as the trainee reporter for the 2016 Olympic Games. And Ishall avail this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to the help you haverendered me.
To beginwith, it is under your encouragement that I apply for the post I have longedfor. Moreover, knowing that I was not so confident of my English proficiency,you spent a lot of time helping brush up my English, which made me stand out inthe interview. Finally, you took care of my daily livings during these dayswhen my parents were traveling abroad.
Again,please allow me to express my sincere appreciation. But for your kind help, Iwould not have made this memorable achievement. It really means a lot to me.
Yourssincerely,
Li Ming

親愛的表姐,
我寫這封信是要告訴你我被國際奧委會(huì)錄取了,在2016年的奧運(yùn)會(huì)做實(shí)習(xí)記者。借此機(jī)會(huì),我希望就您對我的幫助表達(dá)我衷心的感謝。
首先,在你的鼓勵(lì)之下,我申請了這個(gè)向往已久的職位。再者,當(dāng)你知道我對自己的英文水平不自信時(shí),你花了很多時(shí)間幫助我提高英語,這讓我在面試中脫穎而出。最后,由于我父母出國旅游,是你這段時(shí)間一直照顧我的生活起居。
請?jiān)试S我再次表達(dá)我由衷的感激之情。如果不是你的幫助,我不會(huì)取得這次讓我難忘的成就。這對我來說的確意義非凡。
敬啟,
李明
