Unit1写作与阅读
一.技法指导
本单元的写作任务是应用文类别中的“建议信”。建议信是就某件事情向收信人提出建议或给出忠告。有可能是写给个人的,也有可能是写给某个机构或组织的。而高考英语试题中书面表达一般都要求写私人信件,私人信件是指亲朋好友或同事之间的来往信件,通常包括五部分,即信头、称呼、正文、结束语和签名。
一、基本结构
1.开头(beginning)——开门见山,向对方陈述自己的观点(state your idea)。
2.主体(body)——对所提出的问题进行分析并说明理由,接着提出自己的建议(reasons and suggestions)。
3.结尾(ending)——呼应开头,重申观点(restate your opinion)。
二、注意事项
1.写作文体:建议信属于应用文,但高考中一般都会给出书信的格式。
2.主体时态:文章通常以一般现在时和一般将来时为主,也可以根据需要适当使用其他时态。
3.主体人称:由于是给对方提建议,所以人称主要为第一人称和第二人称。

Dear Susan,
I am sorry to know that you are having trouble in making friends. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you.
To begin with, why not be a friend first if you want to make friends? In addition,wouldn't it be a good idea if you share happiness and sorrow with your friend? Just as a saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Last but not least, it would be a good idea if you put your heart into making friends. It is wellknown to us all that friendship calls for time and effort.
I hope you will find these ideas useful.
