Answer 1

Dear John,
Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family, because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam coming the day after tomorrow. I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with you.
Please allow me to say sorry again.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua

試題分析：考查應用文中的書信的寫作。假如你是李華，因不能赴約去你朋友John 家共進晚餐，因為你將忙于準備后天的一門重要考試，據此用英語寫一封致歉信。要點都已經給出，書信類短文的關鍵在于要點要全面包括，不能有遺漏和省略。但是要點只是提綱，考生還要在此基礎上增加細節，不要逐字逐句翻譯，同時注意謀篇布局的順序，運用合適的連接詞連接全文，同時選擇高級的詞匯和語法項目讓文章更有文采。審題時注意本文使用一般現在時，描述要盡量選擇簡潔的語言，運用合適的語法規則和詞匯把各要點都準確表述出。難點在于選擇詞匯和句型，可以靈活運用高級詞匯和固定短語準確表述。還要用適當的連接詞被句子連接起來，這樣文章顯得更連貫。
【亮點說明】it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family, because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam coming the day after tomorrow. 這句話用了強調句和原因狀語從句，I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. 這句話用了并列句和賓語從句，Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? 這句話用了it做形式主語，If so, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date.這句話用了省略， I do long for a pleasant chat with you.這句話用了強調謂語動詞。
