An Invitation Letter
Dear Mr Jenson,
I am writing on behalf of① the school’s Student Union.As you may know,we are running② a schoolwide③ public speaking competition,and the final will take place④ at the lecture hall on 10 May (9 am12 pm).[1]I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to⑤ help us judge the final competition.[2]
[1]本句是一个并列句,as引导的是非限制性定语从句。
[2]本句包含whether引导的宾语从句,该从句做ask的宾语。
Since March,we have already had two rounds of the competition,with more than 100 students.Now we have 12 students left for the final.[3]The topic of the final speech is “Education for Innovation⑥”.Students have to give a fiveminute speech on the topic⑦ in English.
[3]本句中left for the final 是过去分词短语做后置定语。
During the final round,as a judge,you would be responsible for⑧listening to all the speeches,noting down⑨ any positive or negative aspects for each one.Competitors should be judged on⑩ their pronunciation,clarity⑪and fluency⑫,and also progression⑬ of ideas and audience engagement⑭ . Then you will discuss your notes with⑮three other judges,and come to a decision⑯about who comes first,second and third.
Would you have time to attend a short meeting⑰ at the Student Union Room at 4 pm on 8 May so that we can introduce you to the other judges and discuss the details?We would not take up⑱too much of your time.
I sincerely hope you can come.If you have any questions,please do let me know.[4]
[4]本句包含if引导的条件状语从句,其中do let me know 是用助动词来强调谓语部分。
Yours sincerely,
Zhao Zheng
President,Student Union
