A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus
January 12th, 2002
Dear Mr. President,
My name is Li Ming, a junior student from the Department of Psychology. I am writing this letter to put forward some opinions about the Canteen Service on Campus.
The canteen service seems to be getting worse and worse ever since last semester. The past semester has witnessed a sharp increase in the price of an ordinary vegetable dish from RMB 1.5 to RMB 3.5,while the food quantity has been on the decline. In addition, the dining hall is too small to hold the increasing number of students and teaching staff. What is worse,the waiters and waitresses are so indifferent that they would rather stand still than help the diners.
Dining hall is connected with the daily life of every student on campus. I hope you can help to restore our confidence in the canteen service.
I am looking forward to your reply.Best regards. ( 152 词)
Yours sincerely, Li Ming
“一句话”点评
毫无疑问,第二段的两个数据将吸引阅卷老师的眼球,同时 witness, sharp等好词的使用和The last semester作主语的拟人修辞 的运用,增加了文章的亮点。
快捷构思
本题是六级考试里少有的没有直接列点给出提纲的题目,但 仔细分析后发现,本文要么写成表扬信,要么写成批评建议信^主 体段落肯定是表扬或批评食堂饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等方面, 而其他段落则应该是协助来表达交际功能的。
第一段:简单介绍自己及写信的目的。
第二段:开门见山指出食堂的状况越来越不好,而后“一句话” 数例支持,表达出食堂的价格在上涨,紧接着分别从环境(too small to hold the increasing number of students and teaching staff)和月艮务(the waiters and waitresses are so indifferent and cold)两方面展开,支持段落中心。
第三段:提出希望,也就是写信的真正目的。
第四、五段:希望得到回复和问候语,正常表达交际功能。
美丽词句
1.put forward some opinions about 提出关于... 的意见
2.beon the decline 下降
3.be indifferent冷漠(indifferent和cold其实意思相近,但用 前者表达效果则更佳)
4.restore confidence 恢复信心
