Dear Sir or Madam, I’m glad to be invited to the English summer camp. ①Thank you very much for arranging so many activities, such as English corner, English lectures, English films, English songs, English plays and helping foreigners learn Chinese. ②I am sure all the activities will do a lot of good to us students. ③But it’s a pity that I can only take part in two of them, because I will have to spend some time in doing my research project. ④I would like to listen to the lectures, by which I will learn more about western culture, and help foreigners learn Chinese, as more and more foreigners want to know about China and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. ⑤I want to see my grandparents in the country right after our school finishes in mid-July, so I am going to attend the camp from August 15th to 22nd. Thank you very much. Yours truly, Li Ping 第①句顺应已给出的句中的glad心情,表示感谢安排这么多的活动,具有较好的连贯性。同时很自然地将活动内容做一介绍。 第②句用简单句表达活动的意义,语意上连贯,句式上没有继续用“长”句,有变化。 第③句用but转折并用it’s a pity 句型表示委婉的歉意,然后解释原因。 第④句用一个长句子表达自己要参加的两个项目,并解释原因,解释原因的第一句用定语从句,第二句用状语从句,使句子结构富于变化。 第⑤句解释参加的时间并给出解释。之所以把时间放在后面,主要是考虑它与题目已经给出的句子之间在语意上的连贯性不够。
