Li Hua 四．高考真题文本结构剖析

(1)文章开篇问候，真诚地表达感谢。随后说明感谢的原因以及对方给予的具体帮助。最后表达希望，并邀请他来中国旅游。

(2)范文中使用了大量亮点词汇和句型，如gratitude是高级词汇，体现了作者扎实的语言功底。句中使用了感叹句和定语从句，大大提高了表达难度和写作档次。高级短语keep in touch with和communicate with的正确使用为文章锦上添花；在It would be a great honor ...句中it作形式主语，so that ...引导目的状语从句，都显示了作者对复杂句式的运用能力，增加了文章得分的亮点。

参考范文：

Dear Mr. Smith,

I'm Li Hua, a student from Xinhua Middle School. I'm writing this letter to thank you for returning my schoolbag.

Last Sunday afternoon, after I played basketball with my friends in the playground, I left my schoolbag there owing to my carelessness. I was worried because my student's ID card, cellphone, wallet and some documents were all in it, which were very important to me. Just as I was at a loss, I was informed that my schoolbag was at the school's Lost and Found, where I knew it was you who had picked up my schoolbag and handed it in.

It's such a great kindness that I'm extremely grateful to you. You did set a good example to us.

Yours,

Li Hua
