假如你是李華，你校正在開展“明星教師”的評比活動，現向全體學生征集意見，請你根據下面的提示內容，用英語給學校寫一篇推薦信推薦你的英語老師Mr. Chen。

3. 學生評價。

[寫作指導]

第一步，認真審題。

1. 審文體：本文是書信。

2. 審時態：以一般現在時為主。

3. 審人稱：以第三人稱單數為主。

4. 審要點：認真看看寫作要點，做到不重復不漏掉。寫作要點不僅僅是1、2、3，還包括寫作內容的背景介紹。

第二步，信息表達。

寫信目的為第一段，表達被采納的愿望為最后一段，介紹基本情況和學生評價可以一起作為第二段。

描寫人物時，要圍繞人物形象、抓住人物特點、選用典型事例和運用細節，這樣人物的形象就突出和鮮明了。

第三步，句型升級。

1. 通過加過渡詞和高級句型的方式進行句型升級。

（1）Needless to say/Its obvious that.../ There is no doubt that...等句型可以放在肯定意義的句子前面。

（2）如果是圍繞一個問題的三個方面寫，可以用First and foremost， ....Additionally， ....Last but not least...如果是圍繞兩方面寫，可以用For one thing， ....For another， ...

（3）用后學的詞代替先學的詞：如good 可以用excellent， outstanding， helpful， educational代替，like用be fond of/be crazy about代替。

（4）用短語代替單詞；如we用we classmates代替。

第四步，連句成篇，認真謄寫。

四、習作修改

本文介紹體育運動員孫蘇偉。

1. 去掉who 因Sun Shuwei is a very famous sports star是主系表結構，逗號隔開的是同位語，不需要定語從句。

2. dive→diving 介詞后面用名詞或動名詞。

3. becomes→became“在八歲時”是過去時間狀語，應該用一般過去時。

4. and→but因not only...but （also）是固定句型。

5. her→his主語是he，這里應該表示“他的”。

6. nation→national 形容詞修飾名詞。

7. 1990前增加in 因in 1990是介詞短語作時間狀語。

8. that→which 引導非限制性定語從句要用which。

9. much→many friends 是可數名詞，應該用many修飾。

10. the→a，泛指。

五、課堂練習

Dear Sir or Madam，

Knowing that our school is selecting some outstanding teachers as Star Teachers， Im writing to recommend my English teacher Mr. Chen.

Compared with other teachers， Mr. Chen is the one who impresses me most. Now Id like to say some details. First and foremost， theres no doubt that he has taught English for 10 years， during which he has been awarded the title of a model teacher for many times and once won the first prize in the teachersspeech contest. Additionally， its obvious that he can always make his lessons lively and interesting. Needless to say， he is not only our good teacher but also our good friend because he is kind to us and is always ready to help us. Last but not least， as a teacher， Mr. Chen encourages us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions instead of giving.

I would appreciate it if you could accept my recommendation.

Yours Sincerely，

Li Hua
