Answer 1

One possible version: 
Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you about how children from different countries choose gifts for their mothers on Mother’s Day.
Lily is from England. She’d like to give a green scarf as a gift to her mother. Her mother’s favorite color is green and she really needs a scarf. Tom comes from the USA. He’d like to give his mother a hand-made card. Because it’s easy to make a card by himself and it means a lot.
My name is Li Tao. I’m from China. My mother is a teacher. I want to give her a nice cup. Then she can use it to drink a cup of tea and have a good rest after work. 
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Tao

试题分析：本文的写作不难，首先对Lily的情况进行描写，说明她送围巾的原因Her mother’s favorite color is green and she really needs a scarf.然后对Tom的情况进行说明，并说明送这个礼物的原因Because it’s easy to make a card by himself and it means a lot. 最后介绍自己的情况，可以说自己的妈妈是老师，所以想送一个杯子给妈妈这样妈妈就可以用它来沏茶，工作后可以得到休息Then she can use it to drink a cup of tea and have a good rest after work.
点评：本文难度不大，写作条理性要把握好，对于初三的作文，不要求有很华美的词语，重在培养自己连词成句的能力，避免中式英文。在平时的练习中要多去背诵范文，对表达好的句子，短语要进行积累，并默写，考试前再集中看一下，这样做到有备无患。
