必修六U3的写作内容是如何写回复建议信。写好这样的作文要注意以下几点：
1，写信的格式要规范：回复建议信和写建议信一样，通常由六部分组成：信头（发信人地址和发信日期）、信内地址(收信人姓名、职位和地址)、称呼、正文、结束语和署名。实际写信时通常把信头和信内地址省略。
2，写信的态度要正确：写信的目的是提出建议或忠告，不是投诉信，也不是命令和责斥，所以态度要谦恭诚恳，观点要合情合理，语言要得体，尽量让对方容易接受。即使是批评，也要让对方“踏着荆棘，不觉痛苦，有泪可落，也不是悲凉”。
3，写作思路要清晰：对对方提出的问题要认真领会，准确理解，然后依次回复，自己的阐述要做到观点鲜明，条理清楚，简明扼要，以理服人，让对方觉得“纳而有因，拒而有理”。
4，写作的时态和人称：通常用一般现在时态，第一人称。
下面通过一则实例来进行演练：
假如你是某报社编辑，收到了李华的一封来信。请仔细阅读下面的来信，并用英语写一封回信，就他一遇到的问题进行分析并提出合理建议。

Yours,

四、学生习作实例及简评
实例一：高二（24）班陈 哲
Dear Li Hua,
I’m very glad to receive your letter.Thank you for your trust.
You have asked me for my advice about yourtrouble. In your adolescence, you may meet with suchproblem: You have some difficulty in communicating with yourparents. You can’t share your ideas with them. That’snatural. Maybe it’s what we call “generation gap”. But inreality, it’s not their fault because they have very highexpectations on you.
In my opinion, you would be wise to takethe following action. First of all, be brave to tell your parentsyour ideas and listen carefully to their opinions. Meanwhile,be absorbed in your workto achieve their hope. I’m sure they will be satisfiedwith you.
Yours,
Bob
【简评】
1，这是一篇比较优秀的习作,结构清晰，行文流畅。作者从整体上抓住了文章的写作意图，有较好的说服力：第一段简洁，第二段分析问题也比较到位，短语、连接词和从句的恰当运用反映了作者较强的语言能力，可谓亮点。
2，第三段是主要内容，写了两个方面的建议，比较恰当。也可以用On the one hand, … On the otherhand…这样的链接语。当然，此段的建议分量略显不够，有待拓展。
3，本文另一个不足的是没有用结束语，这是写回复建议信不可忽视的。
实例二：高二（13）班周 莎
Dear Li Hua,
I’m happy to hear from you. I hope I canhelp you with your problem.
It’s normal that your opinions are oftendifferent from your parents in your age. Teenagers often findit’s hard to communicate with them. On the contrary, theyare always not satisfied with you. In fact, there is a“generation gap” between you and your parents. How can wedeal with it?
I think it would be beneficial if you openyour mind to your parents and communicate with themsincerely. You can share your ideas with them and listencarefully to their thoughts. Work harder than before toreach their expectations. Try to love them and they willunderstand you and will be satisfied with you.
Please take good consideration of myadvice.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Bob

优点：作者按照回复建议信的格式，非常完整地完成了写作任务，脉络清晰，表达也准确。不足的是，有的地方显示的是汉语思维，在句子与句子之间，第三段开头等处，应该适当增加一些关联词，如in my opinion，in addition, what's more等，使文章衔接自然、流畅。
六、范文欣赏
Dear Li Hua,
I feel greatly honored to be trusted with your personalaffairs.
I have to say that you are not alone when having troublecommunicating with parents. Almost everybody had it when theyare in the adolescence. Therefore, it’s a common problem sharedby many, whose cause lies in what they call “generationgap’’.
As for my advice to you, first of all, don’t hide your feelings.You can make it a routine to share your thoughts with yourparents. Secondly, convince them that you have tried yourbest. It’s not their fault to place too high expectation ontheir child. I believe they will be satisfied with youso long as they know you have tried your best to live up to theirstandards. Anyway, there is no one who loves you more than yourparents in the world. Whatever you are, they will always bethere for you. Love them, and love can heal everything.
Good luck!
Yours,
Bob |
