Answer

Dear Henry，

I'm happy to receive your letter and know that you're coming to China. I’m writing to sincerely express my warmest welcome.

I'd like to tell you something about some places of interest in China. Personally, one of the best is the Great Wall of China. It came into being during the Warring States period and reached its best in Ming Dynasty as defence working against enemies. With a history of over 2,000 years, it runs like a huge dragon across North China. And now it’s a world-famous tourist attraction. As an old Chinese saying goes, “A man who hasn't been to the Great Wall is not a true man, “it’s almost a must for foreigners to visit in China.”

If you come to visit the Great Wall, you'd better come a day before climbing the Wall and avoid weekends or holidays, when it is too crowded with tourists, so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully. Moreover, I can be your guide if you like.

Yours，

Li Hua

【解析】

这是一封推荐信。题干中给出了写作中需要包含的三个方面，但是第二个和第三个方面提示很简单，需要同学们根据自己的文化积累适当发挥。

第一步：审题：确定时态和人称。这封信主要是要求你作为李华向美国朋友Henry介绍一个中国的景点，所以时态应以一般现在时为主，人称以第三人称和第一人称为主。

第二步：列提纲 （重点词组）

express my warmest welcome（表达我最热烈的欢迎）；places of interest（旅游景点）；come into being（存在）；the Warring States period（战国时代）；defence working against enemies（对抗敌人的防御）；a world-famous tourist attraction（举世闻名的旅游景点）；a must for…（对……是必须的）；be crowded with（充满）等。

第三步：遣词造句：同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译，可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯，同时要点表述要完整，文章要通顺，准确使用时态和语态。

第四步：连句成文：写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语，使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型，如定语从句等，以提高文章档次。
