Never Give Up
Dear Zhang Hua,
Sorry to hear that you are in low spirits because of the poor results in your simulated exams. You have already studied hard, but you didn’t make it. I can understand how you feel.
As everyone knows, to reach success need great decision①, especially when you face trouble. If you want to succeed, you must have a strong will, for where there’s a will, there’s a way②. Please don’t give up, no matter what happens!Of course, you should have a scientific way. You can ask your teachers or friends for help if you have some difficulty in study③.
You are sure to succeed at last if you keep on work hard④. Cheer up!
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming

點(diǎn)評
本篇習(xí)作屬于提示作文。全文要點(diǎn)齊全,層次分明,表達(dá)清楚,語義連貫。過渡性詞句和插入語用得較好,如but, as everyone knows, especially, of course 等。此外,時間狀語從句,條件狀語從句以及讓步狀語從句等均使用恰當(dāng),這些都是本文的閃光點(diǎn),值得學(xué)習(xí)和借鑒。如果再細(xì)心些,文章中出現(xiàn)的幾處小錯誤應(yīng)該是可以避免的??偟膩碚f,這是一篇較好的習(xí)作。
【修改之處】
① need改為needs。動詞不定式作主語,其后的謂語動詞應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。
② Where there’s a will, there’s a way.(有志者事竟成。)引用恰當(dāng),這是本文的亮點(diǎn)之一。
③ some改為any。any用在肯定句中,表示“任何”之意。
④ work改為working。keep on后接動名詞,表示“堅持做某事”。
