答案

Dear Peter,
I’m writing to ask whether you are able to do me a favor.
I want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in her early twenties, and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone who is interested in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Besides, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I think I can share with her our traveling experiences, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in common. And I believe I will improve my English by doing so and learn more about her country.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Li Hua

解析

试题分析：考查应用文中的书信的写作。希望通过外籍教师Peter 找一位英语笔友。描述一下你理想中笔友的条件，并说明为什么选这样的笔友。要点都已经给出，书信类短文的关键在于要点要全面包括，不能有遗漏和省略。但是要点只是提纲，考生还要在此基础上增加细节，同时注意谋篇布局的顺序，运用合适的连接词连接全文，同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。审题时注意本文使用一般现在时，描述要尽量选择简洁的语言，运用合适的语法规则和词汇把各要点都准确表述出。难点在于选择词汇和句型，可以灵活运用高级词汇和固定短语准确表述。还要用适当的连接词被句子连接起来，象for instance, Furthermore,等词，这样文章显得更连贯。
【亮点说明】In my mind she is someone who is interested in traveling swimming and playing table tennis. 这句话用了定语从句， it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some time. 这句话用了it做形式主语的句子和原因状语从句， With such a pen friend I think I can share with her our traveling experiences taking care of pets or whatever we have in common. 这句话是whatever引导的让步状语从句，范文中还使用了 Besides这样的关联词。
