本题要求写一封建议信。这是一种向别人提出合理的建议，让对方接受自己的想法或主张，从而解决有关问题的应用文体。此类信件语言要委婉、礼貌，要顾及对方的感受，同时提出的建议要合情合理。本篇写作是回邮件，注意在信的开头要对对方的来信做出回应。文章可分为三段：首段交代写信背景和写信目的；主体段陈述个人的建议及理由；尾段表达祝愿。

Dear Jim,

In your last letter, you said you were faced with a difficult choice between the two new optional courses. I’m writing to give you some advice about that.

Personally, I prefer the course “The Comparison Between Chinese Culture and British Culture”. I know you are interested in seeking higher education in China after high school graduation. I am sure that this course will broaden your knowledge about Chinese civilization and help you quickly adapt to your future life in China. Plus, it will also provide a huge amount of information on Chinese history and culture.

Hopefully you will enjoy the course!

Yours,

Li Hua

The Right Thing

My mother worked as a housekeeper and she was often given used toys as well as many other goodies (诱人的东西) by her clients. My elder sister and I always loved sharing the recycled books and board games brought home by my beloved mom, which we considered great gifts life presented to us.

The long-awaited Christmas finally approached. One day, an old model toy car arrived in a load of goods. It was as long as my forearm and took both hands to lift. My sister didn’t want it, so it was all mine. I immediately began wiping it clean and polishing it to a bright candy-apple red. It turned out to be a thing of beauty, and I became overjoyed to possess it. My elder sister was amazed at the newly-polished, refreshing toy car, with a hint of regret and envy in her eyes.

As planned, our relatives from France came to visit us that Christmas. It was a time when the family bonds got strengthened. I shared the prized toy car with Alex, my young French cousin. His eyes glued to it, he fell in love with the wonderful, shiny red automobile the instant he saw it. It was a rare moment to see him feeling so relieved and happy. He’d been unlucky so far in life, suffering severe, life-threatening illnesses as a child that left him mentally and physically stuck and the family starved of cash. Of course, such lovely toys as my dear model car were impossible dreams to him.

Seeing Alex’s consuming thrill brought by the red car, I was seized by immense joy as well. But contrary to Alex’s excitement, a voice inside me constantly reminded me, “Watch out! He’d keep it for himself.” The voice made me slightly worried. I followed my cousin for fear of something.

My mother also noticed Alex’s fondness for the car. Approaching me, she asked gently in a low voice, “Would you like to give it to Alex?”

作者在临近圣诞节的一天收到了一辆二手玩具汽车，作者非常喜欢这辆玩具汽车并把它擦拭得锃亮。圣诞节那天作者表弟一家人来做客，作者的妈妈发现曾患过重病的表弟对这辆玩具汽车爱不释手，便问作者是否能送给他。

根据审题分析以及段首语，我们来分别构思两个续写段落。

1. 原文的故事情节发展到妈妈低声问作者，能不能把红色玩具汽车送给表弟Alex。续文第一段首句：“把玩具汽车送人还是自己留着，我进退两难。”续文第二段首句：“我们离别时，我的玩具汽车和Alex一起离开了。”这两句话就基本确定了续文第一段的写作框架，下面我们来构思这段的内容。

·What did the author think?续文第一段应重点描写作者听到妈妈的问题后进退两难的心理活动：如果把玩具汽车送给Alex，作者肯定是很不舍的。根据原文中的情节可知，作者十分珍爱玩具汽车，非常高兴能拥有它。而如果作者不送，肯定会伤害到Alex。Alex从小受到病痛的折磨，很少能开心起来。而这个玩具汽车让Alex感受到了宽慰和振奋。

·What did the author do finally?结合续文第二段首句可知，该段最后要提到出于对Alex的爱护和同情，作者最后决定把玩具汽车送给Alex，以此与第二段合理衔接。

2. 续文第二段的构思如下。

·How did Alex feel when he received the toy car?我们可以想到，Alex收到玩具汽车，一定十分开心、激动，此处可结合Alex的动作和神态进行描写。

·What did the author realize at last?结合原文第三段的“It was a time when the family bonds got strengthened.”最后可以描述这件事给作者带来的启示以及作者的感悟，作者认识到了通过分享玩具汽车，可以加强与亲友的联系，激励别人的同时自己也能获得快乐，从而升华文章的主题。

I was in a dilemma about whether to give the toy car away or just keep it for myself. To give it away? Hardly could I imagine life without the toy car! After all, it was my most precious treasure, which I had been proud of. My heart kept aching at the thought of giving it away. No! I shook my head determinedly. However, glancing at my mother’s expectant eyes, I couldn’t help hesitating. To keep it? Definitely, it would upset Alex. Torn between the two tough choices, I was totally at a loss. Nevertheless, deep down, I could feel my sympathy for Alex. Yes! I resolved to do the right thing.

At the moment of our parting, my toy car went with Alex. Though I was sad to see it go, I was seized by joy when I saw his smiling face as he tightly held it. Seeing the thumbs-up from my mother and sister, I did swell with relief, pride and joy, for I knew it was not a gift—to some extent, it was our concern and love for him. Plus, sharing the toy car also strengthened our bond, which would always uplift him. An effort made for the happiness of others lifted my spirits as well.
