Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a student in China and I plan to go to Britain to attend a summer school during the vacation. I’ve seen your ad, and I’d like to know something more about your six-week English course.①First, when will the course start and how many class hours are there per week?②Besides, I wish there would not be too many students in a class.③

I’d also like to know how much I have to pay for the course and whether accommodation is included.④Would there be a host family or university dormitory?⑤

I’m looking forward to your early reply.⑥

Yours faithfully

Li Hua

名师精评：

本文突出的亮点是：要点齐全，语言地道，表达流畅，圆满完成了写作任务;本文开头向对方作了自我介绍，然后陈述了自己暑期的打算。接着用I’ve seen your ad, and I’d like to know something more about your six-week English course.一句作为过渡，引出要问的几个问题;使用特殊疑问句和宾语从句，依次针对试题中标出的5个问题进行了提问;First，Besides的使用使文章前后连贯，富有逻辑性。

提分要点：

本句直奔主题，交代写信的目的，词汇more的使用，具有高度的概括性，巧妙地引出下文所要提出的问题。

本句中序数词first的使用，使语言干练，具有条理性；连词and 很自然地连接两个疑问句，显示了考生娴熟的语言运用能力。

过渡词besides加强了句子之间的逻辑关系，使文章层次分明；wish一词委婉地表达了考生的要求，运用准确、恰当。

本句是对课程费用的咨询，考生适当增加了细节“住宿费是否包含在内”，既充实了文章内容，又为下文埋下了伏笔，构思巧妙。

本句中考生一改常规的表达方式，并不是直接提问住宿类型，而是巧妙地用连词or连接两种住宿类型，使问题更加具体化，写作技巧高人一筹。

诚恳地表达愿望，完美收尾。
