在线课程【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. Having read local community’s advertisement for volunteers on the promotion of Chinese traditional medicine, I can’t wait to submit my application for the post.
Born in a family with both parents working in an institute of traditional Chinese medicine, I possess a thorough understanding of TCM, which I believe could be quite helpful. Additionally, as a compassionate and outgoing individual, I enjoy helping out wherever I can.
Traditional Chinese medicine is ancient medical practice that has been used in China for more than 3,500 years. Despite being a form of alternative medicine, it has worked wonders in many medical cases, such as the treatment of COVID-19.
It really means a lot to me to promote TCM, so I do hope this wonderful chance would be offered to me. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua
【解析】
这是一篇应用文写作,要求写一封信申请做志愿者,属于书信体写作中的申请信范畴。
申请信是书面表达的常见题型之一,也是高考的常客,故平时练习中对固定句式的掌握十分重要。完成本题时,应注意以下要点。
要点1:审清题目,理清结构
题目的设定是寒假在纽约学习的你(李华),得知所在社区将举办一次普及中医知识的活动。要求写一封信申请做志愿者。审题之后可知,本文主体内容应使用第一人称、一般现在时进行写作。写作内容包括:写信目的(简洁凝练);个人优势(应适当展开拓展);对中医的认识(应适当展开拓展)。除此之外,还应特别注意文章要有得体的结尾。
要点2:充实内容,注重表达
进行写作时,应特别注意对个人优势和对中医的认识进行适当内容拓展。个人优势既可以结合自己的性格来谈(做普及宣传对应的要求肯定是开朗外向、善于与人沟通等),对中医的认识还可以结合时事展开,例如2020年的抗疫过程中中医药发挥了巨大的作用,也有大篇幅的新闻报道。具体在进行英文写作时,应特别注意上下文的衔接自然,善用连接词和定语从句等,同时注意高级表达和句式多样性的运用。
