A letter to American friend Tom 給美國朋友Tom的回信
給美國朋友Tom的回信
假設你是新華中學的學生李華，你的美國朋友Tom一週前給你發電子郵件，詢問你暑假裡的打算，但你因準備期末考試未能及時回覆。請根據以下要點給他回郵件：
1. 未及時回覆的原因；
2. 你假期的打算（如做兼職、旅行、做志願者等）。
注意： 1. 字數：120~150；
2. 可以適當增加細節，以使行文連貫。
【試題點評】
今年的書面表達題目延續山東省一貫的提綱作文命題習慣，時隔一年之後重新回到“書信題”的大框架中，考了一篇“以道歉信為外衣，以活動安排為主體段”的提綱作文，相當於10年山東卷（道歉信）和07年四川卷（假期安排）和合體。這種作文是我們平時經常練習的，因此套路很完善、套話很豐富。此外，本文中需要同學們翻譯的難句不多，因此，只要在備考過程中有意識地瞭解過大學聯考英語作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮點詞彙、加分句型和過渡詞，並加以針對性訓練，這道題目應該不難寫。
【經典套路】
第一段：問候+寫信背景+寫信目的
第二段：“道歉”部分（相當於“寫信背景”）
第三段：“假期安排”部分
第四段：補充說明+客套話
【高分範文】
Dear Tom,
How are you doing? (問候) You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation.（寫信背景） I am sorry that I didn’t reply without delay.（寫信目的）
How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study. I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.（第二段為道歉信常見套路）
By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation.（主題句） First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved.（拓展句1） Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School.（拓展句2） Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.（拓展句3）
These are my plan for the summer vacation. What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.（以合理的客套話結尾）
Yours,
Li Hua

我多麼希望我能閱讀並回復你的郵件，當我收到它的時候。然而，我正忙著準備在那次考試，這對我來說很重要。結果，我只好完全專注於我的學習。我相信，如果你是我，你會做出同樣的.選擇。（第二段為道歉信常見套路）
