參考答案
習(xí)作修改
本篇寫(xiě)的是李華寫(xiě)信向Ms Jenkins求助,希望她能指點(diǎn)一下自己如何寫(xiě)好申請(qǐng)書(shū)和個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷。
1. written→writing 主語(yǔ)是I,主動(dòng)發(fā)出動(dòng)作,表明此時(shí)正在寫(xiě)信,用writing。
2. the→ a 因do sb. a favor 為固定搭配,意為“幫某人一個(gè)忙”,故the改為a。
3. experiences→experience 因這里指獲得經(jīng)驗(yàn),experience意為“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”時(shí)為不可數(shù)名詞,故沒(méi)有復(fù)數(shù)形式。
4. had→have 因本文為求助信,結(jié)合上下文此處時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),故改成have。
5. are→is 因此處主語(yǔ)是this,且結(jié)合上下文時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),故改成is。
6. or→and 因此處結(jié)合上下文應(yīng)該是指作者既寫(xiě)了入職申請(qǐng)又寫(xiě)了個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)歷,故改為and。
7. 在pay attention后加to 因pay attention to為固定搭配,且前有其賓語(yǔ)anything,故加to。
8. hope→hoping 因此處為伴隨狀語(yǔ),且hope與其邏輯主語(yǔ)I 是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用hoping。
9. much去掉 因very副詞修飾形容詞grateful,無(wú)需再加much,故將其去掉。
10. real→really 應(yīng)該用副詞修飾形容詞thankful。
