Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to express yourthanks to your parents or any other member upon making a memorable achievement.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
解析:
本次四级写作是近年来鲜有的书信,这篇属于感谢信,可参照考研小作文的模板,第一段交代写信目的,即就某件事表达感激之情;第二段展开具体内容,即感激的原因;第三段重申目的,再次表达谢意,(保持联系)。就文章内容,其实大家可以发现,和我们四级历年考过的介绍类说明文相似,在写作课上,我们讲过介绍人物类的通用话题,该人物的事迹,对你的影响,给予你的帮助…是不是可以灵活地搬到这篇文章中呢,只需要把人物跟你的关系换一下,把人物的事迹换成你的,再将他对你的影响和帮助用在中间段,文章就写出来啦。
这里的一个生词 “memorable”意思为“难忘的,值得回忆的”,同学们不认得这个词也没关系,知道“thanks”和“achievement”就不会走题了。
信件写作注意格式,要有称谓,正文,敬语和署名。
Dear Cousin,
I amwriting this letter to tell you that I have been recruited by the InternationalOlympic Committee as the trainee reporter for the 2016 Olympic Games. And Ishall avail this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to the help you haverendered me.
To beginwith, it is under your encouragement that I apply for the post I have longedfor. Moreover, knowing that I was not so confident of my English proficiency,you spent a lot of time helping brush up my English, which made me stand out inthe interview. Finally, you took care of my daily livings during these dayswhen my parents were traveling abroad.
Again,please allow me to express my sincere appreciation. But for your kind help, Iwould not have made this memorable achievement. It really means a lot to me.
Yourssincerely,
Li Ming

亲爱的表姐,
我写这封信是要告诉你我被国际奥委会录取了,在2016年的奥运会做实习记者。借此机会,我希望就您对我的帮助表达我衷心的感谢。
首先,在你的鼓励之下,我申请了这个向往已久的职位。再者,当你知道我对自己的英文水平不自信时,你花了很多时间帮助我提高英语,这让我在面试中脱颖而出。最后,由于我父母出国旅游,是你这段时间一直照顾我的生活起居。
请允许我再次表达我由衷的感激之情。如果不是你的帮助,我不会取得这次让我难忘的成就。这对我来说的确意义非凡。
敬启,
李明
