Answer

Dear James，

I am glad that you are interested in Chinese idioms. Chinese idioms, mainly consisting of four or more Chinese characters, have been appealing to those absorbed in the Chinese language because they are a necessary part of Chinese culture. Benefits of learning them can be listed as follows.

First, with many of Chinese idioms frequently used in our daily life, a good knowledge of them contributes to better understanding both spoken Chinese and written Chinese. Second, they usually possess vivid and deep meanings, making what you try to convey more convincing.

As far as I am concerned, I have a preference for the interesting stories behind some of the Chinese idioms. Not only are they interesting, but also they tend to teach some wisdom, which helps me a lot.

I sincerely hope you can learn them well.

Yours,

Li Hua

书面表达写作步骤：

书面表达一般分为三个过程：思维、组织、表达。先是思维，审题想清要用的人称、时态及文章结构，把要写的东西在脑中 思考，要对所给材料进行组织，把这些思维作出整理，使其条理、系统化，但这还是较粗糙的，可能还有一些用词不当或语言错误；最后才是表达，把组织过的材料仔细推敲，确定无问题了再落笔成文。在撰写时要注意主谓一 致，时态呼应，用词贴切等。上述三个过程，最难的是第三个过程，需 要我们有较好的语法知识，掌握一定数量的句型，习惯用语，熟练的写作技巧，这样才能写 出通顺生动的文章来。总之，要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实 的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧。平时要多分析范文，多读多背诵，学会恰当地引用和培养自己的语感。
