佳作賞析1

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a senior three student from China. Having learned that a summer camp will be held by the University of Oxford①,I am writing to apply for a place②.

I believe my abilities make me stand out③. Participating in English speaking competitions④has given me strong communication skills. Therefore, I am able to speak English fluently.

This program attracts me for several reasons. First, it would encourage me to get to know the University of Oxford⑤.Second, I can attend cultural fairs and visit different cities,which would give me a better understanding of Western culture⑥.

I would treasure the chance to improve myself at the summer camp. I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours,Li Hua

亮點評析

①現在分詞的完成式Having learned...在句中作狀語，且其中含有that引導的賓語從句，句式復雜多變。

②I am writing to... 句式點明寫信目的，apply for是表示“申請”的典型短語。

③“動詞+復合賓語”結構make me stand out是地道的英語表達。

④Participating in...是動名詞作主語，是書面表達的高級句式。

⑤動詞不定式to get to know...表明申請原因。

⑥非限制性定語從句which would give...的使用，給文章添色不少。

佳句仿寫1

①他已經失敗了兩次，不想再試了。 （現在分詞的完成式作狀語）

②知道你要申請進入我們大學，我很高興。 （apply for）

③雖然他曾經常把他的小妹妹弄哭，但今天他被他的小妹妹弄哭了。 （make sb do/sb be made to do）

④要及時做好一切準備很難。 （動名詞作主語）
