真题点评
这是一封相对综合的信件,包含咨询信和申请信(自我介绍)的要素。考生可以按照题目提示的顺序填充信件的正文内容。需要注意的是,由于这是一封写给新室友的信,彼此并不认识,所以考生写信时在语气上需要客气一些,也不可以提出过分的要求等。
高分范文
Dear John,
I'm pleased to know that we will share a room in the first-year of our college study.
You know, I am Chinese and have never been to America, let alone been a student there. So I'm afraid that my first few weeks could be a mess. Could you tell me the weather there: Does it usually rain and how often will there be snowfall? I also wonder whether the campus is so large that I need to buy a bike. And I want to know if you mind my reading late at night three days out of five.
I don't want to bother, but if you could review my concerns and reply, I will appreciate it much.
Yours truly,
Li Ming
参考译文
亲爱的约翰:
我很高兴得知在大一学习期间我们将共住一室。
你知道,我是中国人,从来没有去过美国,更不用说在那里留学了。所以我担心开始的几周会是一团糟。你能告诉我那里的天气状况吗?那里经常下雨吗?多久会下一次雪呢?我还想知道校园是不是特別大,大到需要买一辆自行车。还有,我想知道你是否介意我五天中会有三天在深夜读书。
我并不想麻烦你,但如果你能了解我的担忧并给我回信,我将感激不尽。
此致
敬礼
李明
