【话题写作】

作文一：

根据所给的中文提示，用英语写一篇内容完整、意思连贯、符合逻辑的短文，不少于100词。你的笔友Jenny给你(Linda)来信说寒假要来北京玩，请你给她写一封回信说明你的想法。信的要点包括：

1．介绍北京冬天的气候；

2．告诉她到北京度假的最好季节，并说明原因；

3．简单介绍一个景点；

4．你给她的建议是什么。

(提示词：香山：Fragrant Hill)

范文：

Dear Jenny,

I'm very happy that you want to come to Beijing during the winter holiday. Winter is the coldest season of the year. Sometimes it snows and it is easy to catch a cold. So winter is not the best time to come to Beijing. But luckily ，you can experience the Chinese Spring Festival. You can taste many Chinese foods and know more about Chinese culture. I think the best season to come to Beijing is in autumn. It is neither too cold nor too hot. And you can see beautiful scenery everywhere. So I think you'd better come to Beijing in autumn if it is possible. If you come in autumn, we can go to the Fragrant Hill. There we can see the red leaves all over the mountain. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time in Beijing.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Linda

作文二：

假设你是李华，David是你的美国网友。他对目前中国出现的霾很关注，来信向你询问此事，请你给他写封回信。主要内容如下：

②简介霾(haze)给人们的身体、生活带来的危害。

③谈谈你的感想。

注意：可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯流畅；开头与结尾已写好，不计入总词数；词数100左右。

范文：

Dear David，

I'm glad to receive your letter. I have learned from your letter that you are concerned about haze. It appears in some areas of China. Thanks for your concern. I'm also very worried about such terrible weather because it has done harm to people's life and health such as traffic jam, road accidents, bad coughs, the sore throat and even lung cancer.

As everybody knows, a good environment comes from good protection. So we should do what we can to make a difference. Try to drive less and choose airfriendly products. Only when everyone has the environmental awareness can we have cleaner air.

Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.

Yours，

Li Hua
