佳作赏析1

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a senior three student from China. Having learned that a summer camp will be held by the University of Oxford①,I am writing to apply for a place②.

I believe my abilities make me stand out③. Participating in English speaking competitions④has given me strong communication skills. Therefore, I am able to speak English fluently.

This program attracts me for several reasons. First, it would encourage me to get to know the University of Oxford⑤.Second, I can attend cultural fairs and visit different cities,which would give me a better understanding of Western culture⑥.

I would treasure the chance to improve myself at the summer camp. I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours,Li Hua

亮点评析

①现在分词的完成式Having learned...在句中作状语，且其中含有that引导的宾语从句，句式复杂多变。

②I am writing to... 句式点明写信目的，apply for是表示“申请”的典型短语。

③“动词+复合宾语”结构make me stand out是地道的英语表达。

④Participating in...是动名词作主语，是书面表达的高级句式。

⑤动词不定式to get to know...表明申请原因。

⑥非限制性定语从句which would give...的使用，给文章添色不少。

③虽然他曾经常把他的小妹妹弄哭，但今天他被他的小妹妹弄哭了。 （make sb do/sb be made to do）

④要及时做好一切准备很难。 （动名词作主语）
